slats

 

 

 

What are slats?

Roughly speaking, Slats are usually made of long, square wood.

For classification: Typically, a batten is thinner than a beam, but thicker than a strip and narrower than a board.

Whether roof batten, fence batten or counter batten: The purpose makes the difference here – you will find out more about this below: under Purposes of the battens.

In terms of product safety and sustainability, GELO is also certified multiple times!

GELo slats

GELO slats are available in three different cuts: In addition to “normal” battens, e.g. for fences, there are also roof battens and counter battens.

All slats are available in packages, bundled with 6, 8 or 10 pieces. Since May 2007 we have been CE certified and are externally monitored by MPA Stuttgart. Your battens can therefore be provided with a CE stamp on request!

Thanks most modern Production facilities and the integration of many finishing methods, we at GELO can fulfill many of our customers' special requests - all in the best and exceptional GELO quality, directly from the Fichtelgebirge!

Applications of HOLZLatten

 

Differences in slats

 

The intended use makes the difference – Whether used as a fence batten, roof batten, counter batten or even as a shelf batten, the production and sorting differ. The S10 sorting according to DIN 4074-1 (or the S24 sorting according to DIN EN 14081-1) provides a guideline: it regulates the strength class according to which the batten may be used.

Different battens can be used in your construction projects. All Areas of application the slats include:

  • Roof coverings
  • substructures for walls and ceilings
  • Drywall
  • substructure for facades
  • stage and shop construction 
  • etc.

 

Crucial Differences between "Normal" slats and C24 battens are:

  • stronger incision size
  • on knots carefully sorted
  • red / marked forehead ends
  • CE stamp with the strength class on each slat

What are counter battens?

Counter battens are the vertical laying of battens to the actual joists. This creates a defined gap between the roofing felt and the roof covering. The counter battens thus ensure sufficient ventilation.
