A counter-batten is a strip of square timber which is nailed onto a rafter to provide some distance between a breather membrane and a batten. Counter-battens allow the water penetrating under the tiles to flow down the breather membrane without any obstacles, such as battens fixed directly to rafters. It also provides the necessary ventilation space for the roof covering.
