Why should I pick vinyl board and batten siding?
Vinyl is lightweight, easy to install, durable, and long-lasting, and as long as a professional installs it, it should remain waterproof for several decades to keep your home protected. It can hold out against extreme weather conditions, and it doesn’t make a nice home for any sort of insects. Plus, vinyl is affordable and comes in a variety of looks and colors. When it comes to board and batten siding, vinyl is one of the most affordable material options.
What are the alternatives to board and batten siding?
Board and batten siding refers to the look and style of the installation rather than the material itself. You can install board and batten siding whether you choose vinyl, wood, fiber cement, or metal as your material. Among other popular siding styles to consider are clapboard siding, stucco, shake siding, and log cabin siding. Stone, stone veneer, brick, and brick veneer are considered high-end alternatives that can help maximize ROI and curb appeal.
What should I consider when installing board and batten siding?
Before you buy your board and batten siding, you need to consider a few things, including your budget. Board and batten is more expensive than lap siding, so consider other options if the style is outside of your price range. Once you’ve established how much money you have available for the project, you should then start thinking about where you live and how the climate could affect the lifespan of the material you select for your board and batten siding.
Building our first home. It is a mid century style ranch, and with the way prices are, we want to cut costs. One of the builders recommended vinyl board and batten for the house instead of brick or Hardie board. What do y’all think?
I will try to link the photo.
We are adding a large addition to home shortly, and they are replacing the siding of the home in the process. I would really like to have the vertical lined siding I.e. board and batten instead of the horizontal traditional vinyl siding we currently have, but only if we can do it budget friendly, otherwise we will just go with traditional siding. Wondering what options there are and how much more it would cost to do it, if anyone has compared prices recently.
Hello everyone, i am currently looking to build a 2700 square foot home and am talking to some builders.
I am hoping to crowd source some opinions as i do not have anyone else I could bounce ideas off of.
My first question is regarding the price difference between plank horizontal siding vs board and batten sidingboard. I was told B&b siding costs double. Is that true? I would have guessed brick to maybe be double, not B&b though.
Thanks ahead for your time.
