For those who do not appreciate artificial siding materials like fiber cement or vinyl, there are always more natural and conventional materials to consider. Wooden siding is a great way to improve the appearance of your home and even increase its market value. Wide range of tree types for any taste and quality: cypress, redwood, cedar, fir, spruce, pine, oak, and many more. Also, there are many styles of wooden siding for any budget that makes selecting the right solution even more challenging. Let’s take a closer look at the most popular styles used for siding.
Lap siding represents longboards sowing at a slight angle which creates a narrow edge from one side and wide edge from the other to make these boards convenient for overlapping installation starting from the bottom. Placing boards in this order protects the foundation wall from water and other weather effects.
This technique features individual planks being adjusted to each other by a groove and tongues on the long edges. They can be installed in any sequence and orientation: horizontally, vertically or diagonally and are also used for floor covering. Available in both rough and smooth cut.
In case you seek for more of a simple, natural-feel and cozy option, this one’s for you! Split logs are usually made of hardwood types such as cypress, oak or cedar. Logs are sawn into halves and dried out before the installation to be covered with clear-coat to protect it from insects and moisture.
Wooden shakes are also used for roofing. Usually, shakes are square or rectangular 16, 18 or 24 inches long pieces of hardwood like redwood or cedar.
Shingles are similar to shakes but instead of flat pattern, they feature overlapping system that prevents water from getting under it. Shingles are the most versatile option as they can be used for irregular wall shapes, painted in different colors and fit any home design in general.
