Batten reassurance needed please

Featured Replies

Hi. 

I'm doing much of the internal construction of a barn conversion myself.

 

A builder got the shell structurally sound and watertight, they and my builders merchants assure me that using roofing battens on the inside will be fine / is completely normal.

But I can't help but shake a nagging thought that the blue will somehow leach through the plasterboard and show on the finished ceiling. 

 

Am I worrying over nothing? 

Or, should I cut my loses now and replace what I've done so far with something else?

It’s okay - don’t worry about it!

All mine are like that.  With the requirement to make them bright colours (some are pink) it can be hard finding any that are plain wood. Not many merchants stock them.

That's such a relief. 

Thank you all ?
