More constructors should take notice of steel-framed structures, as they offer more advantages than traditional materials. Just take a look at the benefits of steel roof battens vs timber as presented by NASH.

The National Association of Steel-Framed Housing starts off with steel battens being straight initially and remaining so indefinitely. The trouble with timber is that it can warp and get bent out of shape, which can make building roof battens incredibly challenging. Having straight battens is a must, especially if you are using flat and shingle-type tiles, which can highlight deviations from exact alignments.

The storage and transportation of steel battens is definitely simpler as they can be stacked neatly, thanks to their top-hat cross-section. Installation is also easy as they can be lapped as opposed to timber being butt-joined. You may utilise steel battens for any type of roof framing, too.
