Felt & Battens

Battens or lats are used to firstly secure the felt to the rafters. Secondly, lats are used to secure the slate or roof tiles to the roof structure itself. The lats are spaced at equal intervals known as the gauge-length, which is dependent on both the chosen roof covering and also the spacing of rafters.
