FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH YOUR CHOICES

Put a “face” to the name, or type of siding, so you can start to form an idea of what will be the best fit for your home.

Vinyl Clapboard

a best-seller

Clapboard siding, the most popular siding sold today, is made up of long narrow boards or panels which are nailed horizontally across the house.

Vinyl clapboard siding can be made to look exactly like wooden siding and comes in a variety of different styles, colors, textures, thickness, and lengths. Can be easily cleaned with a hose.

*Note: By adding insulation to your siding, you can save money every year by cutting your energy costs. You’ll want to ask about Insulated Clapboard Vinyl Siding.

Stone Veneer

Stone veneer siding consists of thinly cut pieces of stone that are applied to the side of a home.

Installing stone veneer on the exterior of your home is a smart investment. When it’s time to sell, benefit from one of the highest returns (92% ROI) of any major remodeling project. (Source: Remodeling magazine 2014 Cost vs. Value Report)

It can be kept beautiful using a soft bristle brush and a bucket of soapy water — no regular repainting, recaulking, tuckpointing, or sealing is needed.

Board & Batten

Board and Batten Siding or Vertical Siding runs up and down, or vertically across your house. Alternating wide and narrow vertical panels combine in a simple, yet beautiful, design well suited to distinctive architectural styles. 

Sometimes called "Barn Siding" because it was used on barns all across the U.S. for many years. 

It is still used today and comes in various widths and is commonly used as an accent on garages and gables.

Vinyl Shakes

Vinyl shakes mimic the rustic outdoor look of real hand-cut cedar shakes at half the cost of real wooden shakes.

They’re created from molds made of genuine cedar which gives them an appearance of being hand-split with random grooves and grain. The sun’s light creates a beautiful depth of shadow as it hits the vinyl shakes rough split texture.

Shake siding is both used in whole house applications or as an accent, most commonly on gables and dormers*. (*Visit our Accessories page to learn about these.)

Vinyl Shingles

Vinyl shingles feature an authentic sawmill texture, with molded textures and patterns that replicate the effect of saw blades and splitting tools. Many manufacturers feature mitered corner posts that are offset, which blends corners harmoniously for a more accurate appearance.

The difference between vinyl shingles and vinyl shakes is that all shingles have sawmill and perfection textures and all shakes have rough-split textures.

Vinyl Scallops

Vinyl scallops are used in whole-house applications or as an accent, most commonly on gables and dormers. These profiles add distinction to a design and greatly enhance curb appeal.

Because of the versatility of the technology, vinyl siding can comprehensively recreate a great variety of shingle profiles in this creative cladding type.
