STEEL ROOF AND CEILING BATTENS PERTH

Battens support roofing materials, spread their weight evenly, allow ventilation, resist wind uplift and leave space for insulation—functions that together keep the roof stable and energy-efficient.

Steel roof and ceiling battens are strong and durable, they won’t rot, shrink, twist or bend over time. They are non-combustible, termite resistant and recyclable making them an environmentally friendly solution. Our battens are prefabricated and easily transported and installed. They can be lapped, eliminating the need for on-site cutting, ensuring quick, easy and efficient installation.

Steel is a naturally tough metal. Steel roof and ceiling battens won’t shrink, twist or bend over time.

No, our steel is hot dipped in an aluminium, zinc, and magnesium alloy, Preventing rust from occurring.

Yes, we offer installation of steel battens, structural steel, steel frames and roof trusses.

Yes. Steel offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio, so it supports heavier roofing materials and stands up better to high-wind uplift.

They do. Steel is non-combustible, giving added protection where timber battens could ignite.

Although steel costs more upfront, its long lifespan and minimal upkeep usually make it more cost-effective over time than timber, which can need treatments and earlier replacement.

Steel Frames WA manufactures and supplies roof battens for residential, commercial, modular and renovation projects across Perth and Western Australia. Our light gauge steel roof battens are lightweight, strong and designed for fast installation, with standard and custom lengths available to suit individual project requirements.

Roof batten spacing depends on factors such as the roofing material, batten profile, structural design and expected wind loads. Rather than applying one spacing to every building, the roof system should be designed to suit the requirements of the individual project. Steel Frames WA manufactures its roof battens in accordance with relevant Australian loading, cold-formed steel, roofing and wind-load standards.

Yes. Roof battens can be specified for buildings in cyclone-prone areas, but the required product and fixing system will depend on the project’s wind and structural requirements. Steel Frames WA supplies dedicated cyclonic roof battens manufactured from 0.75mm high-tensile steel, compared with 0.5mm for its standard roof battens, providing an option for projects exposed to more demanding conditions.

Steel Frames WA manufactures and supplies ceiling battens for building projects throughout Perth and Western Australia. Our light gauge steel ceiling battens are designed to provide a stable base for ceiling finishes and plasterboard, with standard 6.1m lengths and custom lengths available depending on the project.

Ceiling battens create a supporting framework for plasterboard and other ceiling finishes. A well-designed batten system helps provide a stable and consistent fixing surface while also creating a cavity that can accommodate insulation and other building requirements. Steel Frames WA’s steel ceiling battens are compatible with major domestic ceiling boards and provide the dimensional stability of light gauge steel.

The right ceiling battens depend on the ceiling system, supporting structure and requirements of the individual building. Steel Frames WA supplies lightweight 0.42mm high-tensile steel ceiling battens with a 22mm profile and can manufacture custom lengths where required. Steel is also resistant to termites, rot, shrinking and twisting, helping create a stable ceiling framework over the long term.
