The Most Popular Styles of Vinyl Siding

Written by P.J. Sullivan | Dec 16, 2019 2:32:05 PM

Vinyl siding has been one of the most preferred home exterior materials for decades. It’s known for its durability, eco-friendliness and ease of maintenance. This long-lasting siding option can also significantly boost your home’s curb appeal.

 

Read on as one of the area’s premier siding and door replacement companies shares popular vinyl siding styles.

Clapboard

Clapboard siding used to be made by splitting wooden boards into think strips. Contractors overlap the boards to allow the wood to expand and contract without issues. Choose this style if you prefer a clean, traditional aesthetic.

Beaded

Go for beaded vinyl siding if you want to achieve the aesthetic of a Southern Colonial home. This siding style typically has a slight wood-grain texture with a low-gloss finish to resemble handmade beaded siding.

Shakes

Vinyl siding can be made to look like authentic wood, featuring the same texture and wood grain depths. This style is great for homeowners who want to have a more luxurious but low-maintenance exterior. Achieve class, durability and beauty by choosing PJ Sulivan Exterior for your siding replacement project. We also install high-quality custom entry doors, windows, roofing and stonework.

Dutch Lap

Dutch lap siding is similar to clapboard but it has a beveled edge. This feature gives the siding hand-carved look.

Board and Batten

In the past, manufacturers create board and batten siding by combining wide vertical pieces with narrow wood battens on the seams. Today’s vinyl counterpart merges these two components during the manufacturing process, giving the siding a more uniform appearance.
