SR Timber has release a new video summarising the steps involved in producing its battens.

This video showcases the detailed production process, from when a log is felled to the final product. Premium Gold graded roofing batten meets all the requirements of British Standards in quality, and the product is independently third party audited and certified.

Initially, all boards are kiln-dried, ensuring correct moisture content and automated checks are then made against detailed characteristics and possible defects.

The second grading process follows BS 5534 requirements, grading the final product and each piece of roofing batten. These final checks are made at commercial speed, covering the size of knots, wane, resin pockets, and distortion.
