Russell griffiths Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 hi I have watched a couple of vids recently where a plastic batten with holes in it has been used behind cladding, it provides a good air flow and obviously doesn’t rot like a timber batten could anybody used or know where I would look at buying them.

oranjeboom Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 How big are the ventilation holes? Would they be prone to insects clogging them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I have used the perforated metal stuff from James Hardie. They do a bottom profile which gives a kick to the first row of cladding or slate and a l shaped top profile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so as they would be behind cladding protected by insect screening top and bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
