Our range
Two products.
Two jobs.
Roof and ceiling battens do very different jobs — and they’re sized very differently for it. Both use our top hat profile family, fabricated in Adelaide from high-tensile steel. Pick the one that fits your build, or call us if you’re not sure which.

Why Kspan
Three reasons
builders pick us.
Battens are all we make. That focus means deeper product knowledge, faster turnaround, and the ability to fabricate custom runs that generalist merchants can’t.
Specialists,
not generalists.
Battens are all we make — no roofing, sheds, or cladding. That focus means deeper expertise and custom runs on demand.
Adelaide-made,
direct from us.
We’re not a stockist reselling someone else’s product. Every batten is fabricated here in our SA facility — you talk to the people making it.
Standards-compliant,
every batten.
Kspan ceiling and roof battens are fabricated to comply with the relevant Australian Standards (AS/NZS). Compliance isn’t optional.

Built for the job
Steel that holds
your build
together —
literally.
Roof and ceiling battens are fabricated from high-tensile steel and treated for corrosion resistance. They’re consistently alike, dimensionally true, and they keep what’s around them on the straight and narrow — roof sheeting up top, ceiling lining below.
That’s why more residential builds across Adelaide and South Australia are switching from timber to steel battens every year.

Ample Fixing Gap Lets Moisture and Condensation Dissipate.
- 3
Consistent Profile Keeps Sheeting and Ceilings True.
- 4
Easy to Stack, Transport, Handle and Install On-Site.
- 5
Designed Against Corrosion, Warping — and Termites.
Why steel
Six reasons
builders
switch to steel.
Steel battens outperform timber on strength, consistency, lifespan and ease of handling. Here’s why our customers don’t go back.
// 01
Force of nature
Our roof battens are fabricated from steel that can withstand a force of nature. Battens may be invisible, but they’re literally what keeps an entire roof together.
// 02
Built to breathe
All that household steam has to go somewhere. Using battens allows ample space for condensation to dissipate — so moisture doesn’t build up where it shouldn’t.
// 03
Consistently true
Metal battens are consistently alike and dimensionally true. They also keep what’s around them on the straight and narrow — sheeting, ceilings, and frames.
// 04
Easy to handle
Our battens are easy to stack, store, and transport. They’re easy to handle, manipulate and install on site — saving you hours on every build. Cut clean, fix true.
// 05
Lifespan first
Steel battens last and keep working every day. Corrosion and warping under pressure are designed out of them. And termites? Not a concern when it comes to steel.
// 06
In demand
Metal ceiling and roof battens are increasingly used in Australian residential builds — not because they’re trendy, but because they work. Builders don’t switch back.
