Board and Batten Timber Siding – On the Comeback
A time-honoured method of timber façade construction – timber board and batten cladding is making a renaissance.
Proven over generations, “Board and Batten” timber siding is a weather-tight, classic look that is at home both in rural areas, and chic suburbia.
Choose a larger 200mm wide board for larger spaces, while a 150mm board creates a more ornate look for smaller areas.
Combine traditional timber weatherboards, or natural stone with board and batten siding.
Searching for board and batten with a natural wood finish?
Vulcan Cladding is a fantastic option for your board and batten home.
