A BATTEN, BATTEN ASSEMBLY, METHOD OF INSTALLING A BATTEN ASSEMBLY AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING A BATTEN
The present invention relates to a cladding support assembly having at least two single-web battens; and at least one bracing member; and wherein, in use: the at least two battens are spaced apart; and the at least one bracing member extends between and fixedly connects the at least two battens. In some applications, battens have limited ability to flex or move due to their design and the materials out of which they are manufactured (e.g., rolled steel). Excessive and/or repeated buckling or distortion of the material may also compromise the protective coating layer(s) on the material, leading to premature failure. The at least one bracing member (220) that extends between and fixedly connects the at least two battens (210A, 210B) to reduce such buckling or distortion.
