What is a "batten"?
A batten is a long and narrow strip of wood or metal used in construction to hold together or secure other materials within a building. It is commonly attached to surfaces such as walls, roofs, or floors to provide support and stability. Battens can be used to fasten sheets of material, like plywood or drywall, ensuring they remain in place and are properly aligned. In addition to their functional role, battens can also enhance the appearance of a building by adding texture and detail. This versatile component is widely used in various construction projects for both structural and aesthetic purposes.
