Batten patches are metal components to which exterior cladding is attached; they are also used as a substitute for wooden battens during assembly of metal roof tiles or trapezoidal sheets. These battens are also used to level the roof surface on which metal roof tiles are to be installed, as well as to reinforce the roof’s structure and provide better Thermal insulation.
Batten patches are manufactured from galvanized or coated steel sheet with a thickness of 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm in S280 GD or S350 grades, depending on the application and structural requirements. Depending on the application, batten patches can come in various shapes and dimensions, such as rectangular or trapezoidal, as well as varying lengths and widths, depending on the type and size of the structural element being repaired.
Steel is characterized by high strength and resistance to mechanical damage. In addition, steel sheet is relatively easy to work with, which allows for precise cutting. Batten patches can be painted, which increases their corrosion resistance and extends their service life.
Batten patches are most commonly used as:
When used on a roof, the battens are placed on the surface of the structure, where they serve as a support for metal roof tiles, trapezoidal sheets, or other roofing materials. They are often used for roofing with metal roof tiles or corrugated sheets, as they allow for even distribution of the roofing material’s weight and prevent deformation.
The most important properties of steel alloys include:
Our company offers the Omega model, which is available in three heights:
The minimum length of the profiles is 0.5 meters, and the maximum is 6 meters. Other lengths are determined on a case-by-case basis.
The assembly of batten patches on a facade and roof usually consists of several steps:
It is important that the assembly of steel beams be performed professionally and in accordance with best construction practices, which will ensure the durability and stability of the structure.
Batten patches are in high demand on construction sites due to their advantages, which include:
Batten patches are available in various sizes and thicknesses, allowing them to be tailored to the investor’s individual needs and structural requirements.
Galvanized and aluzinc-coated batten patches do not require regular maintenance, but they must be protected from moisture at all costs. Therefore, we recommend that you review the transportation and storage guidelines available on our website in the product description. Polyester-coated battens should be inspected for potential damage to the coating during assembly, which could lead to gradual deterioration.
Thanks to high-quality steel, as well as coatings such as galvanized steel or polyester, batten patches are highly resistant to weather conditions—including moisture that causes rust, high and low temperatures, and UV radiation. Polyester coatings are available in over a dozen colors from the RAL palette, allowing them to be used in applications where they may be visible and where aesthetics are important—such as on building facades.
The Blachy Pruszyński Company offers a wide range of trapezoidal sheets, elevation panels, and corrugated sheets suitable for constructing facades based on a lath framework, as well as products such as trapezoidal sheet metal and metal roof tiles for use as roof coverings.
The batten patches offered by the Blachy Pruszyński Company are custom-made to ensure the best possible selection and fit. Our specialists advise on optimal structural solutions and recommend the most suitable products. We therefore invite you to use the contact form.
Batten patches aren’t the only product that can be used to build a structure for a facade or roof. Check out other products that can also be used for this purpose, either on their own or in combination with other products from the Blachy Pruszyński Company’s lineup.
