More Info on Roof Batten
You might think that roofing tiles just get slapped on top of a roof, but roofs need a little more support than that. A roof has several different layers, not only for reinforcement but support as well. Roof batten boards create a grid over the roof, where the final layers, such as shingles or roof tiles, will be affixed. Roof batten boards play a part in not only reinforcing the roof but also protection from water damage.
Roof batten boards come from solid hardwood, such as cypress, hemlock, redwood, and locust. They are almost like a foundation for the roof, providing the fixing points for shingles and other roofing materials. How dense or crowded those fixing points are depends on the building itself.
Usually, metal roofing is attached to special metal roof battens at measured intervals covered with batten joint before attachment.
