Clapboard siding, also known as weatherboard or bevel siding, is a traditional exterior cladding method characterized by long, horizontal planks of wood or wood imitations. These planks are installed so that each board overlaps the one below it, helping to shield the building from rain and wind.
This overlapping design effectively sheds water, making clapboard siding particularly popular in areas with wet climates. Available in various materials such as wood, vinyl, and fiber cement, clapboard siding is appreciated for its classic, horizontal lines that can range from rustic to refined, lending a timeless aesthetic to both historical and modern homes.
Clapboard Siding is available in a variety of sizes with common overall heights of 4.5”-6.5” (11.4-16.5 cm), exposed heights of 2.5”, 3.5”, 4.5” (6.4, 8.9, 11.4 cm), and depths of .75” (1.9 cm). The overlap between panels is typically 1”-2” (2.5-5.1 cm).
