Fishscale siding is a decorative exterior cladding option featuring shingles with a slightly curved bottom edge, reminiscent of fish scales. The curvature is more shallow compared to the rounded profile of scalloped siding. Typically made of wood or vinyl, fishscale siding is often used as an accent on gables, dormers, or alongside other siding styles to add texture and historical charm to a building's facade.
Popularized during the Victorian era, this siding style continues to be favored for its ability to imbue elegance and intricate detailing, making it an ideal choice for both restoration projects and character-rich new constructions.
Fishscale Siding is available in a variety of sizes with common overall heights of 16”, 18”, 24” (40.6, 45.7, 61 cm), exposed heights of 7.5”, 9.5”, 11.5” (19.1, 24.1, 29.2 cm), and widths of 5.25”, 7.25”, 9.25” (13.3, 18.4, 23.5 cm). Shingle type siding has typical thicknesses between .5”-1” (1.3-2.5 cm) and overlaps of 7.5”-12” (19.1-30.5 cm).
