Board and Batten
A vertical siding style featuring wide boards with narrow strips (battens) covering the seams between them.
Why It Matters for Homeowners
Why it matters: board and batten is the look that signals modern farmhouse from across the street, and it has been one of the most-requested styles on LA exterior remodels for the past few years. The vertical orientation means the seams between boards are stacked rather than staggered, so the battens (the narrow strips covering the seams) become a visual rhythm. Quality of the lumber, batten spacing, and how the corners are detailed are what separate a good install from a great one.
