Frequently Asked Questions

Roofing

[icon] - Question

What distance does my first batten need to be up the roof?

[icon] - Answer

The values below are based on the distance from the front of the fascia to the top of the batten with the exception of Hardrow and the Concrete Plain Tiles. The distances for these are based on the front of the fascia to the centre of the batten.

Double Lap Tiles such as Hardrow and Plain Tiles use an Undereaves Tile (often shortened to Eaves Tile), and the batten distance is given for these as well.

 Tile Undereaves Batten  First Batten 
 Centurion / Senator  N/A  310mm
 Gemini / Minislate  N/A  195mm
 Hardrow Slate - 381 x 229  154mm  281mm
 Hardrow Slate - 457 x 305  230mm  357mm
 Hardrow Slate - 457 x 457  205mm  357mm
 Hardrow Slate - 610 x 457  357mm  510mm
 Concrete Plain Tile  135mm  190mm
 V2  N/A  310mm
