Measuring Batten SOLA BUILDING BATTEN AL1007 250 cm — aluminum construction straightedge

SOLA BUILDING BATTEN AL1007 250 cm is an aluminum construction straightedge intended for accurate marking, alignment checks and transferring levels across extended distances. The 250 cm length provides a long reference edge for façade layout, setting out walls and other building tasks where a rigid, lightweight straightedge is required. The profile is engineered to remain straight under normal site conditions and to support repeated measuring and marking operations on masonry, timber and board materials.

Advantages

The aluminum construction gives a favourable balance of low weight and rigidity, making the batten easy to handle on site while maintaining a straight reference over long runs. Its 250 cm length reduces the number of joints needed when marking or checking alignment across wider surfaces. The straightedge is corrosion-resistant, ensuring stable performance in exposed conditions, and its smooth profile enables precise scribing and transfer of levels without excessive wear on the material being measured.

Suitable for

• Façade layout and alignment of cladding elements
• Setting out walls and partitions on building sites
• Transferring levels and marking long straight lines on masonry and timber
• Carpentry tasks requiring a long, rigid reference edge

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum
• Length: 250 cm
• Profile: rigid straightedge designed for construction use
• Weight: lightweight for improved handling on site
• Surface: smooth for precise marking and level transfer

How to use

Place the SOLA BUILDING BATTEN AL1007 along the line or reference points you wish to mark or check. Use the straight edge to draw or scribe a continuous line, to align cladding or formwork, or to transfer a level from one location to another. For checks over long runs, support the batten at intermediate points if necessary to avoid deflection; handle by the profile to keep the reference face clean. Combine with a level or laser for exact vertical or horizontal alignment when required.

Usage recommendations

Store the batten flat or hung on appropriate supports to prevent bending. Clean the reference face before precise marking operations and inspect periodically for dents or bends that could affect accuracy. When working on rough surfaces, protect the straightedge from abrasion and avoid excessive leverage that may deform the profile.
