Board & Batten
Do you want a home that has beautiful and durable siding? If you’re looking to create a stunning design, without compromising material stability, then board and batten siding is the perfect option.
What Is Board and Batten?
Board and batten siding is a design that consists of long, vertical boards that vary in size depending on the look you desire. Wider boards are used along with narrow boards to create clean, vertical lines. Board and batten siding is the perfect choice for country residential homes, such as cottages or cabins, as well as commercial buildings, such as restaurants, shopping centers, lodges and more.
