Trade Select ThermalCav Drainage Battens

Product Overview

Trade Selct ThermalCav Drainage Battens provide a high-performance solution for steel frame construction, combining a three-layered, high-density polypropylene strip with a self-adhesive backing. These battens meet NCC 2022 R0.2 thermal break requirements, ensuring effective thermal performance in both residential and commercial applications. With a 20mm ventilation and drainage plane, they work seamlessly alongside roof sarking and wall wraps, helping to enhance energy efficiency, drainage, air-flow, and condensation control. Designed specifically for metal roofs, Ametalin ThermalCav Drainage Battens prevent condensation by relocating the dew point to the underside of roof cladding, eliminating the need for temporary fixings due to their high-tack adhesive. These battens can be installed vertically or horizontally between steel framing, building membranes, and various cladding materials, meeting NCC 2022 ventilation requirements.
