Your home’s siding serves several purposes; for instance, it protects your home from the elements and increases its energy efficiency. Other than that, it can also improve your home’s curb appeal. However, what some homeowners don’t know is that siding materials have different kinds of profiles as well.
Traditional Lap
Traditional lap is the most common kind of siding profile that you can find on the market. This is because not only is it aesthetically appealing, but, thanks to the fact that their siding boards are usually layered on top of one another, your home can have an effective water barrier that protects it from moisture.
Board and Batten
If you’re looking for a vertically oriented siding profile, then board and batten is the best siding option for you. With this pattern, the vertical boards are placed with battens covering their cracks, which in turn creates a waterproof surface that makes shedding water easier for your siding. The raised batten, meanwhile, can create a shadow on the siding boards for an attractive texture across the surface.
Fish Scale
Fish scale siding profiles are classified as shake patterns and, as their name suggests, are designed to look like a fish scales, thanks to their rounded lower edge. Often, this is favored by homeowners who want to create an organic look and add more texture to the facade of their homes.
