Battens may be used in tile roofing systems to provide support and spacing for individual tiles. The horizontal metal battens are installed over the roof deck, and the tiles are attached to these battens, creating a raised profile for proper water drainage. In some applications, metal battens are used vertically as a framework for attaching metal cladding or siding to the exterior of a building. The battens provide support and help maintain the proper alignment of the cladding. Metal battens can also be used to create a raised surface for the installation of roofing materials, providing space for ventilation and insulation beneath the roof covering.
