Diamond Blue – a Gem of Premium Roofing Batten Development

A diamond’s quality is priceless, and Landguard Point’s Diamond Blue roofing batten is evidence of this – a product designed around quality, with no page unturned in its development.

For over a decade Landguard Point Group (LGP) has been offering imported timber roofing products to the UK market, with a focus particularly on graded roofing batten. With continual dedication to sourcing only the best products, our procurement team has gained exclusive access to one of the Baltic’s best producers of BS5534 2014+A2:2018 batten to the UK. This superior graded roofing batten is identifiable through its Diamond Blue branding on every pack.

Many people will already be familiar with our graded BS roofing batten with its stand-out branding, we want to make sure they also understand that the LGP Diamond Blue brand is a high-quality product that demonstrates our commitment as a trusted British timber importer supplying batten to the UK roofing market.

In 2020, the pandemic year, there was a surge in demand for roofing batten and due to this pressure there have been instances of sub- standard battens entering the market, endangering the health and safety of roofers on site. Not all coloured batten is created equal.

In response, Landguard Point noted how crucial it was to make sure a premium choice was accessible on the UK market, and Diamond Blue provides this excellence. That’s why we have increased our production and supply, across all lengths and sizes, in order to guarantee that this product is always available in large quantities.

The LGP Diamond Blue brand is a high quality product that demonstrates our commitment as a trusted British timber importer supplying batten to the UK roofing market.

With our partner sawmill providing the greatest possible product quality, every length meets every requirement of BS5534 2014+A2:2018. The highest calibre equipment is used throughout its operation, from the forest to the port. Every process adheres to mechanical and technical guidelines, which, combined with our staff’s exceptional training, ensures that there are no exceptions, allowing us to guarantee the greatest possible quality for our finished product.

We are also dedicated to offering the UK market environmentally friendly timber products. As a result, we have made sure that all Diamond Blue batten comes from forests that support the FSC and PEFC. We at Landguard Point, are devoted to these rigorous certification schemes because we understand how crucial it is to use wood sustainably around the world.

All UK roofing and builders’ merchants can take advantage of Landguard Point Group’s nationwide service, which supplies goods from the country’s deep south to its far north, giving contractors everywhere the chance to buy from our trustworthy suppliers.

Master Roofers UK

Supporting the UK roofing sector is important to us and that’s why we have recently committed to the becoming sponsors of Master Roofers UK.

We believe that roofers’ future is crucial to our business, so we saw this sponsorship as essential to supporting roofers. Master Roofers UK is committed to providing resources, support, and education to the future generation of roofers. They provide essential instruction and support for all aspects of roofers’ professional growth. We appreciate the significant job they accomplish and are pleased to contribute to their progress.

So, when you visit your roofing merchant make sure you ask for LGP Diamond Blue batten and not just BS Blue or any other colour. Only battens that have been pre- or factory-graded to BS5534 2014+A2:2018 can be referred to as roofing batten, so make sure you check for an irremovable BS 5534 stamp on the batten.
Our aim is to support our customers with the best quality products, and we are confident our BSS554 Diamond Blue Batten will be just the gem roofers have been looking for!
