Sturdi-Batten Drainable Rainscreen Batten Strip

Cor-A-Vent Sturdi-Batten strips are durable, versatile, reliable, and economical. Three plys of heat-resistant PP plastic create a 7/16” thick batten strip that won’t crack or compress like “drainage mat” style products when power-nailed, screwed or stapled in place. Use them with a number of applications, including vertical siding, panel siding and cedar shakes. Vertically-oriented airways allow both moisture drainage and drying airflow between your siding and housewrap, adding life to your home’s exterior. Save money using Sturdi-Battens instead of drainage mats, which must be applied to the entire wall. Sturdi-Battens can be installed only as often as required by your siding manufacturer’s recommendations, meaning lower cost. — NOTE: For 16″ on-center installation you’ll need one linear ft. of Sturdi-Battens for every square ft. of wall space you are covering. These easy-to-handle 4-foot long sections are 7/16″ thick by 1-1/2″ wide and are sold in cartons of 48 (192 lineal feet). They pair perfectly with the SV-3 Siding vent.
