Roofing contractors should ensure that battens are centred no greater than 450mm for 38x25mm battens and no greater than 600mm for 50x25mm battens.
It is important to ensure that all fixing requirements are met to validate the guarantee. This is even more important in areas exposed to high wind.Ventilation for the Ludlow Plus
