Profile is the shape of the siding. Here is how lap, board and batten, shake and vertical profiles change the look of a house.
Material is only half of a siding decision. Profile, the shape and pattern of the boards, changes how a house looks as much as color does. Horizontal lap siding feels classic and grounded. Dutch lap adds a deeper shadow line. Board and batten gives a tall, crisp, modern farmhouse look. Shake and shingle bring texture and cottage charm. Vertical panels suit barns and contemporary homes.
Profiles can be mixed. A common recipe is lap siding on the main walls, board and batten on the gable and shake in a small accent area. The mix should follow the architecture: horizontal lines for wide, low houses, vertical lines to add height, textured profiles at focal points. We show you samples and sketches so you can see what each option does to your own house before you decide.
