Baltic Pine Battens Trade Supplier Australia-Wide

Baltic pine grown in northern Europe has a tight, slow-growth grain that gives consistent straightness, fewer knots and superior dimensional stability compared to many radiata battens. That matters on long batten runs where bow, twist and crook cause headaches lining up tile, sheet or weatherboard fixings. Birak supplies 42x35 Baltic Battens in 4.8m and 6.0m lengths — long enough to span multiple trusses without joints on most residential roofs.

Australian roofing manuals and AS 2050 (tile installation) typically nominate 38x25 or 50x38 timber battens at varying centres depending on tile profile, sheet weight and rafter spacing. The 42x35 Baltic Batten is a strong all-purpose section suiting concrete tile and most metal sheet applications when fixed at compliant centres. Always verify against the roofing manufacturer's installation specification and the engineer's wind-load calculation for high-wind regions.

European Baltic pine battens are typically supplied untreated in Australia, with treatment specification varying by import line. For roof battens fully enclosed within sarking and roof cladding, treatment is often not required by the BCA. For exposed or wet-area applications, alternative treated products may be more suitable. Contact Birak with your project location and BCA classification and we'll confirm the right batten and fastener system for your job.

Yes. Birak stocks the Black Hawk batten screw range — galvanised, PRO, 304SS and 316SS in 50–150mm lengths — sized to suit Baltic batten fixing through metal sheet or tile lath into rafters. Bundling battens, screws and any required sarking on one Birak purchase order means a single delivery, single invoice and single set of audit-ready procurement paperwork — far simpler than sourcing each line from a separate state-based supplier.
