BOARD & BATTEN SIDING | USES
Installation Options
Board-and-batten is a vertical design created
using wide clear or knotty cedar boards
spaced apart with narrower boards (battens)
covering the joins. There are no set board
or batten widths - various combinations
are used to create different looks suitable
for large or small scale applications. A
frequent combination is 1"x3"
battens and 1"x10" boards. This
can also be reversed with boards installed
over battens to create a deep channel effect.
Texture and Sizes
Rough sawn, unseasoned boards or boards
surfaced on one side and two edges (S1S2E)
are commonly used for board-and-batten siding.
Sizes are from 1"x 2" to 1"x12". |
