Octagon siding refers to exterior cladding composed of shingles shaped like octagons. These eight-sided shingles are arranged in an overlapping pattern to create a unique and visually engaging texture on a building's facade. Often used as an accent in combination with other siding styles, octagon siding is ideal for adding a touch of distinctiveness and character to both historical and contemporary architectural designs.
The shingles can be made from various materials, including wood, vinyl, or fiber cement, and can be painted or stained to achieve a desired aesthetic. Octagon siding is valued for its ability to make a bold statement.
Octagon 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).
