Siding is one of the most prominent features of your home’s exterior. The right material, color and style can boost your property’s curb appeal. You also want to choose a profile that can accentuate your humble abode’s architectural style.
A home remodeling expert shares a quick guide to popular siding profile options.
Horizontal Profiles
Most homes have horizontal siding profiles. Contractors can easily and quickly install them, which can result in lower labor costs, depending on the size and design of your home. Horizontal siding is more susceptible to water intrusion. Fortunately, you can reduce the likelihood of leaks by choosing a highly durable material and regularly maintaining your siding.
Some of the most popular horizontal siding options include traditional lap, dutch lap and beaded. Traditional lap features boards that lay on top of each other to form a barrier against rainwater and moisture. Dutch lap appears similar to traditional lap siding but has a groove at the top of every board that creates eye-catching shadows. Beaded siding can add more dimension to your home’s exterior since it has a bead at the bottom.
Vertical Profiles
You will find vertical siding in more modern structures. It often costs more than horizontal siding due to its elaborate installation. However, its orientation makes it less prone to leaks. Work with a reliable contractor like STL Design and Build to ensure your siding lasts long. Our exterior remodeling experts can also assist with your deck design and construction needs.
If you prefer vertical siding, you can choose between panel and board and batten. Panel siding is like traditional lap siding but in a vertical orientation. The panels overlap each other vertically instead of horizontally. Board and batten siding is ideal for people who want to give their home a unique look. It features vertical boards with battens covering areas where moisture infiltration can occur.
Shake Profiles
You can mix and match different shake profiles to create an attractive exterior. It’s available in various styles, including fish scale, square, round, half cove, octagonal, hexagonal and mitered corner.
