Raw material is pre-graded prior to processing to enable an even higher finished grade of roofing batten.
Battens visually graded by staff trained to, and conversant with the requirements of BS 5534:2014+A2:2018. The grading process is third party assessed and audited by CATG to ensure it meets the requirements of BS 5534:2014+A2:2018.
