Diamond Exteriors provides board and batten siding installation throughout Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland, Vernon and surrounding Okanagan communities. Our board and batten exterior work includes residential vertical siding, house siding replacement, exterior renovations, custom-home siding, new-construction siding, feature elevations, multi-family exterior projects and selected commercial applications.

Board and batten is commonly searched alongside terms such as vertical siding, vertical fibre-cement siding, modern farmhouse siding, contemporary siding, vertical cladding and custom exterior siding. While the visual concept is straightforward, the actual material system and wall assembly can vary substantially from one project to another.

Fibre cement is one of the primary materials used for board-and-batten-style exteriors. James Hardie and other fibre-cement systems can create vertical layouts using panels, battens and compatible trim components. These products can be used for complete elevations or combined with horizontal siding to create contrast between different parts of the building.

Metal siding can also create vertical exterior lines. Architectural metal cladding, metal panels and specialty siding systems can be installed vertically and combined with fibre cement, ACM, wood-look products, stone or stucco. Diamond Exteriors works with metal exterior systems including LUX Architectural products, Westform Metals, MAC Metal, Cascadia Metals and other cladding materials within our installed-product experience.

Board and batten siding is particularly useful during exterior renovations where the owner wants to substantially change the appearance of an older home. Existing vinyl siding, horizontal lap siding, wood siding or another exterior finish can be removed and replaced with vertical siding as part of a larger recladding project. The completed renovation can remain entirely vertical or combine board and batten with other siding and cladding systems.

Mixed-material board and batten exteriors can incorporate horizontal lap siding on lower elevations, vertical siding on upper floors or gables, metal cladding around entrances, stone or masonry at the foundation and wood-look products or architectural panels in selected feature areas. Diamond Exteriors coordinates these transitions with flashing, trims and the wall assembly behind the finished exterior.

Board and batten projects frequently connect with soffit and fascia replacement, gutter systems, custom sheet metal and roofline renovations. Vertical exterior lines often terminate at soffits, roof transitions, windows and foundations, making those adjoining components important parts of the overall siding layout.

Behind the finished vertical siding, the exterior wall may include DuPont Tyvek or another weather-resistive barrier, rainscreen components, drainage cavities and custom flashing. On renovation projects, removal of the existing siding may expose accessible sheathing, house wrap, window transitions or other wall conditions that can be reviewed before the new vertical siding is installed.

Board and batten siding can be used on custom homes, luxury residences, additions, townhomes, multi-family developments, strata properties and selected commercial buildings. New-construction projects may incorporate vertical fibre cement alongside architectural metal, panels, soffit, fascia, gutters and other exterior systems within one coordinated package.

Larger vertical siding projects can require scaffolding, multiple crews, accurate layout, repeated-detail control and coordination around windows, doors and architectural transitions. Diamond Exteriors has the exterior-project capacity to manage complete elevations and substantial recladding scopes rather than limiting board and batten work to small accent areas.

Some vertical siding inquiries begin with deterioration or damage to an existing exterior. Cracked fibre cement, damaged boards, loose siding, impact damage, failed transitions, flashing concerns or suspected water entry can require an exterior condition review before the appropriate scope is determined. Selected siding repair or sectional replacement may be suitable where the surrounding system remains serviceable, while broader deterioration may support full siding replacement.

Board and batten siding replacement may also form part of insurance-related exterior restoration. Fire damage, impact damage and other property-loss conditions can affect siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, flashing and building-envelope components. Diamond Exteriors can complete defined exterior reconstruction scopes within larger restoration projects.

Vertical fibre cement and metal siding may also be considered during wildfire reconstruction or wildfire-resilient exterior upgrades where those materials fit the specified design and exterior assembly. Dedicated Diamond Exteriors wildfire pages cover those project types in greater detail.

Diamond Exteriors works with homeowners, builders, developers, general contractors, architects, strata corporations and property managers on board and batten siding projects throughout the Okanagan.

Whether the project requires fibre-cement board and batten, vertical metal siding, a modern farmhouse exterior, complete house recladding or a mixed-material design combining vertical siding with lap siding, panels, stone or stucco, Diamond Exteriors can coordinate the siding, flashing, rainscreen and related exterior systems required for the finished project.
