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".
