NCC 2025 Cavity battens for condensation management
As a result, cavity battens are being used more often. How they’re selected and installed can make a big difference to whether the wall performs as intended.
This handy resource explains what builders need to consider when using cavity battens, including suitable materials, batten orientation, drainage and air flow, and fixing methods. It also looks at common solutions such as spacers and ventilated battens, and highlights where extra care is needed in Climate Zones 6-8, where cavities are required to meet the NCC.
If you’re detailing lightweight cladding systems, choosing materials, or checking installs on site, this guidance can help avoid moisture problems, durability issues and compliance headaches. Access practical advice on using cavity battens correctly under NCC 2025.
