Why use Marley’s JB Red battens:

No further grading is required, saving you time and money.

Our exceptional strong and rigid JB Red Battens are available in 2 sizes 25 x 38mm and 25 x 50mm, supplied every time with consistency in width and thickness, making installation quick and easy. Marley roof battens are treated with the preservative MicroPro to protect them from attack by wood rotting fungi and insects, thereby reducing the risk of complaints at a later date.
