Graded tile lath 25x38mm

Graded tile lath 25 x 38mm is a regularised softwood batten produced to the requirements of BS 5534, the British Standard for slating and tiling. Strength-graded and checked for straightness, knot size, and moisture content, each length meets the minimum performance criteria required for use on domestic pitched roofing.

The 25 x 38mm section is suited to lighter tile types and closer rafter spacings where the full 50mm width is not required by the specification. Commonly used with plain tiles, lightweight interlocking tiles, and natural slates on standard domestic pitches. As with all BS 5534 compliant lath, gauge-setting is consistent and fixing performance reliable across the roof plane.

Available from the Cain Bros yard serving South Derbyshire and the East Midlands.
