What Is Board And Batten Siding?
Board and batten is a vertical siding design. Wider vertical boards are installed across the wall, and narrower battens cover the joints between them. The result is a pattern of strong vertical shadow lines that reads as clean and architectural from the curb. It is a style, not a single material.
Applications range from full-home exteriors to selected elevations, gables, and entry features. Full-home use produces a bold vertical look, while accent use adds architectural emphasis alongside other profiles. The style suits both traditional and modern exteriors—it is not limited to farmhouse homes.
Board and batten can be created using several siding systems. Depending on the project and product, compatible materials may include fiber cement, engineered wood, natural wood, and other compatible claddings. Not every manufacturer offers every configuration, so material availability depends on the product and profile selected.
Board And Batten Installation Considerations
A board-and-batten installation starts with wall preparation and a vertical layout plan. A weather-resistive barrier—typically house wrap—plus flashing at openings forms the drainage plane behind the siding. Because the pattern runs vertically, layout, spacing, and batten placement are planned to keep lines consistent across the wall.
Trim, corners, windows, doors, and transition points all connect to the vertical siding. When board and batten is mixed with other profiles—such as lap siding on lower walls—the transitions between profiles need clean detailing so flashing and appearance stay consistent.

- •Wall preparation and vertical layout
- •Weather-resistive barrier and moisture management

Board And Batten Design Options
Board and batten can be used across the full exterior, on selected elevations, on gables, or as an accent paired with lap siding. Contrasting trim and combinations with other exterior materials add further design flexibility.
