Nailing slats to a double grill

Nailing battens on a double grill - professional execution for a secure roof

Nailing battens on a double grill is one of the most important stages in the construction of a strong and reliable roof structure. A properly executed double grill ensures stability, good ventilation under the tiles and a longer life of the entire roof. We offer a professional service for nailing battens on a double grill, tailored to all technical requirements and specifics of your site.

What is nailing battens on a double grill?

A double grill is a system of two levels of wooden battens that are installed on the roof structure. It serves as a base for laying tiles or other types of roofing and plays a key role in the strength and durability of the roof.

Main elements of the double grill

• Carrying battens - are installed perpendicular to the ribs and take on the main load
• Counter battens - are placed above the waterproofing and provide a ventilation channel
• Roof battens - the tiles or roof panels are laid on them

By properly nailing battens to a double grill, maximum resistance is achieved both in standard roof repair and in completely new construction of the structure.

Why is the double grill so important? important

The double grill is not just a "substrate" for the tiles, but an entire structural system. It:

• Evenly distributes the weight of the roof covering
• Protects the waterproofing from direct contact with the roofing material
• Ensures constant air circulation under the tiles
• Reduces the risk of condensation and moisture in the under-roof space

Advantages of a properly constructed double grill

When the nailing of battens on a double grill is done professionally, you receive a number of long-term advantages for your roof.

Longer life of the roofing system

A well-constructed double grill significantly extends the life of the roof structure. Quality wood materials and proper distribution of the battens prevent sagging, cracking and shifting of the tiles, which is key both in repair and construction of roofs and when replacing old coatings.

Better ventilation and protection from moisture

A ventilation channel is formed between the individual levels of the grill, which allows air to circulate freely. This:

• Reduces moisture accumulation
• Limits the risk of mold and rotting of wooden elements
• Improves the energy efficiency of the building

Stability in extreme conditions

Quality nailing of battens on a double grid ensures higher resistance of the roof in strong winds, heavy snow and torrential rains. The robust construction reduces the likelihood of broken or blown tiles and expensive subsequent repairs.

How we work when nailing battens on a double grid

Our team follows a clear and strict work process that guarantees the quality and durability of each roof structure.

Inspection and planning

Before we begin, we carry out a detailed inspection of the roof. We assess the condition of the rafters, waterproofing and old battens, if any. Based on this, we prepare a work plan that includes:

• Choosing the appropriate size and distance between the battens
• Determining the necessary materials
• Adjusting the type of roofing and the slope of the roof

Preparing the structure

If necessary, we carry out partial or complete roof repairs, strengthening or replacing damaged elements. Then we lay waterproofing and prepare the base for the installation of the counter battens.

Nailing counter battens and roof battens

1. We install the counter battens in the direction of the rafters, ensuring equal distances and firm fastening
2. On them we nail the horizontal roof battens, on which the tiles will be laid
3. We observe precise leveling and distribution in order to achieve perfect alignment of the roof covering

Each step is carried out with attention to detail, because a well-made double grill is the basis for a quality roof construction.

Our service for nailing battens to a double grill is suitable for both partial repairs and complete construction of new roof.
