Metal roof battens are essential in supporting and securing metal roofing materials. However, many homeowners wonder if they can reuse their metal roofing battens when replacing their roof to save money. Hardwood timber battens or Metroll metal roofing battens are the only product in our area which can be used twice due to their stronger designs.
Unfortunately, most metal roofing battens cannot be reused during a metal roof replacement. The primary reason metal roofing battens cannot be reused is due to the wear and tear they experience over time. Metal roofing battens are subject to the elements and extreme weather conditions. This can cause them to weaken, become damaged and makes the replacement necessary.
Reusing damaged metal roofing battens can compromise the structural integrity of the new metal roof, leading to leaks, rusting, and potentially catastrophic failure in extreme weather conditions. In summary, while it may seem like reusing metal roof battens during a roof replacement can save money, it’s not a viable option. Investing in new metal roofing battens is crucial to ensure the longevity and reliability of your new metal roof.
