Elevated battens provide an energy efficient system while dramatically enhancing the performance of the roof from a water integrity standpoint.  By elevating the battens off of the deck we are able to promote the circulation of air beneath the tiles but also allow for the passage of water beneath the tiles and off of the roof should the need arise.
