Exterior Coverings

Beveled Siding- Siding which consists of horizontally overlapped boards, that are thinner on the upper edge than the lower, often made from cedar.

Board and Batten- Siding that is applied in vertical panels or boards, with vertical joints covered by narrow strips.

Brick- Outside structural wall or veneer made with brick and mortar. Low maintenance and fireproof. Typically the most expensive, but longest lasting.

Clapboard- Smooth, beveled, narrow siding typically found in older homes.

Shingle- Thick wooden shingle which is applied vertically. Also called a shake.

Shiplap- Wooden siding milled on both ends to allow an overlap of one edge over the next board.

Stucco- Cement based material applied over metal lathing or screen.

Tongue and Groove- Wooden siding with a groove milled on one edge, and a protruding tongue on the other edge, so that tongue edge fits into groove edge of the next board. Typically installed vertically.
