Non-Structural

Ceiling battens in finger-joint 5.4 lm packets or standard grade solid ceiling battens in random packets are available treated to H1.2. F/J cavity battens are treated LOSP H3.1 or H3.2 KD. The finger-jointing process produces consistency in length and quality not found in solid timber products.

The term "Structural" cavity battens is often referred to in design specifications and this refers to the way standard cavity battens are fixed to the wall framing. Our cavity battens if fixed as per the BRANZ Bulletin 582 alternative solution work then as structural cavity battens. The primary benefit is that smaller fixings can be used for your timber weatherboards reducing splitting of the weatherboard products.
