Features

Our Top Hat Roof Battens feature a textured surface, which makes for easy installation and greater efficiency when fixing the cladding. The return edge on these battens provides safety and rigidity, so they last longer in even the toughest environments. They are available in stock lengths with mitred ends for easy installation at hips and valleys. Made from hi-tensile Australian steel, our Top Hat Roof Battens are strong, weather-proof, and durable. We offer a variety of sizes to fit any application.
