Board & Batten Siding

Board-and-batten siding creates strong vertical lines by combining wide wall panels or boards with narrower battens covering or emphasizing the joints. The style can be used on traditional homes, modern farmhouses and contemporary custom exteriors.

Diamond Exteriors installs board-and-batten designs using several exterior systems depending on the project. Fibre-cement applications can combine James Hardie panels with battens and trim, while engineered-wood projects can use LP SmartSide panels and LP SmartTrim. Architectural metal and PVC manufacturers also offer modern board-and-batten profile systems.

Board and batten can cover an entire building or be used selectively on gables, upper floors, entrances and feature elevations. It pairs particularly well with horizontal lap siding, stone, masonry, stucco and metal cladding.

The finished appearance depends heavily on consistent panel layouts, window and door alignment, corner details, flashing and the relationship between the battens and surrounding materials.

Diamond Exteriors installs board-and-batten siding throughout Kelowna and the Okanagan for exterior renovations, custom homes and new construction, coordinating the visible finish with the rainscreen and building-envelope assembly behind it.
