What are slats?
Broadly speaking, slats are usually long, square pieces of wood.
For context: As a rule, a slat is thinner than a beam, but thicker than a strip and narrower than a board.
Whether it's a roof batten, fence batten or counter batten: the intended use makes the difference – you can find out more about this later on: under "Uses of battens".
Incidentally, GELO has also received multiple certifications regarding product safety and sustainability !

Differences in slats
The intended use makes the difference – whether used as a fence slat, roof batten, counter batten, or even as a shelf slat, the manufacturing and grading differ. The S10 grade according to DIN 4074-1 (or the S24 grade according to DIN EN 14081-1) provides a guideline: it defines the strength class according to which the slat may be used.
Various types of battens can be used in your construction projects. Areas of application for battens include:
- Roof coverings
- substructures for walls and ceilings
- Drywall
- substructure for facades
- stage and shop construction
- etc.
Key differences between "normal" slats and C24 slats 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.
