Vinyl Siding: Board and Batten

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Board and batten siding on Carpenter Gothic houses is strongly vertical. Vinyl siding is mostly horizontal. When the two meet, the result is usually the loss of the distinctive look of a Victorian cottage.

This manufacturer offers a compromise that allows the architectural details in a maintenance-free siding. This board and batten vinyl siding comes in panels that are 12'6" long, reducing telltale seams. The board width is 6-1/2" with a 1-1/2" batten.

The material has a cedar pattern imprinted on its face. Choose from 12 colors.

Board and Batten vinyl siding panels are 12'6" long x 8" wide.

Dealers contacted would not give prices.
