FAQs
Can I use this batten for floor joists?
No, this product is designed for non-load-bearing applications and should not be used as a primary structural support or floor joist.
Is the treatment safe for all environments?
The pressure treatment is designed for building purposes. Avoid direct contact with food or use in areas where chemicals might leach into water supplies.
Do I need to paint or seal the timber?
While the pressure treatment provides protection, painting or staining can be done for aesthetic reasons or to add an extra layer of weatherproofing.
What is the best way to cut these battens?
A standard hand saw, miter saw, or circular saw will work perfectly. Always wear safety glasses when cutting.
How do I secure these to masonry?
Use appropriate masonry plugs and screws, ensuring you drill through the batten and into the wall at regular intervals to ensure a flush, secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Batten appears bowed or warped
Store timber in a flat, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight; ensure it is properly braced during installation to pull it into alignment.
Difficulty driving screws into the timber
Ensure you are using high-quality wood screws and consider pre-drilling pilot holes, especially if installing near the ends of the batten to prevent splitting.
Pros and Cons

- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects
- Generous 3.6m length reduces the need for frequent joints

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When installing the battens, ensure you use corrosion-resistant fasteners, especially when using them outdoors, to prevent reaction with the wood treatment chemicals. If you cut the batten to size, it is highly recommended to apply a wood preservative to the exposed cut end to ensure the internal, untreated core remains protected against moisture. Store the battens in a dry, level location off the ground before installation to prevent warping or bowing prior to use.
