Measuring Batten SOLA SL2 200 cm — SOLE CONSTRUCTION BATTEN SL2 200cm

The SOLA SL2 200 cm measuring batten is a 2‑metre straightedge designed for construction and trade use. As a rigid measuring aid it provides a long, stable reference edge for marking, transferring lines and checking flatness on building sites. The batten is intended for tasks such as carpentry, plastering and flooring where a durable, accurate alignment tool is required.

Advantages

The SOLA SL2 measuring batten offers a combination of stiffness and straightness that supports precise transfer of lines over long distances. Its 200 cm length reduces the need for repeated joins or temporary supports, and the durable profile resists deformation during routine site use. The straight, continuous edge simplifies layout and alignment operations and exposes a smooth surface for easy marking and checking with common site instruments.

Suitable for

• Marking and transferring layout lines over long spans
• Checking flatness and straightness of plaster, screed or subfloors
• Carpentry tasks requiring a long reference edge
• Flooring and tiling preparation where a level edge is needed
• Temporary guide for cutting or aligning large panels

Key specifications

• Length: 200 cm
• Primary use: construction measuring and layout
• Profile: rigid straightedge suitable for marking and alignment
• Durability: designed for professional trade and site conditions
• Compatibility: usable with standard marking tools and site measuring instruments

How to use

Place the SOLA SL2 batten along the surface or edge to be checked, ensuring the straightface sits flush against the material. Use the continuous edge as a guide for scribing or marking with pencils, chalk or marking knives. For flatness checks, lay the batten across the surface and visually or physically assess gaps or contact points; use feeler gauges or straightedge comparison methods if higher precision is required. When transferring lines between points, align the batten between reference marks and mark along the edge to create a straight layout line.

Usage recommendations

Store the batten flat or hung vertically by its support points to avoid bending. Clean the straightedge after use to remove plaster, adhesive or dirt that could affect accuracy. Avoid using the batten as a pry bar or for striking; use it only for measuring, marking and alignment to preserve straightness and longevity.
