Richmond Va Siding - Wood Board and Batten Siding

Board and Batten Siding for Your Richmond Home

While beveled wood siding offers horizontal application methods, you can go vertical when you choose board and batten siding. The vertical design uses a knotty or clear cedar boards that are spaced apart using narrower boards, which are the battens, to cover the joins. With this type of siding, there are no set batten or board widths. While this is true, a common combination is one foot by two feet or one foot by three feet. You can also reverse this with the boards installed over your battens, which creates a deeper channel effect to the siding.

The wood used for board and batten siding is made of rough sawn and unseasoned boards or boards that have been surfaced on one side along with two edges, which are commonly used for this design. While the most common sizes are mentioned above, you can find board and batten sizes that range from one foot by two feet to one foot by 12 feet and this is a decision that is generally driven by personal preference and what you want the financed product to look like.
Installation of this material should be handled by the professionals, as it can get tricky making sure the board and batten appears uniform.
