John Brash Green - standard traditional roofing battens

Why John Brash Green?

John Brash Green is the traditional batten that has been used for many years and is fully graded to all aspects of BS5534:2003 with the exception of a final grade for knots and wane which must be carried out on site.

John Brash Green is fully marked with according to BS5534:2003 with manufacturer, size, species and Grade. The Grade is JBG indicating that the final grade for knots and wane is required. This is the traditional product that John Brash has led the roofing market with for years.

Part of the John Brash Green range includes traditionally used sizes that are no longer recognized in BS5534:2003 but are nevertheless used in re-roofing. (Marking only applies to battens that fall within the BS5534:2003 table of sizes - see Table 2).
