Shingle siding consists of small, thin pieces of material, typically wood, that are installed in an overlapping pattern to clad the exterior of a building. Unlike shake siding, shingles are usually sawn and have a more uniform and refined appearance. Shingle siding is celebrated for its classic and versatile aesthetic, which can complement a variety of architectural styles, from Cape Cod to contemporary.
The overlapping pattern effectively sheds water, making it practical in wet climates. While wood is traditional, shingle siding is also available in materials like vinyl and fiber cement, which offer durability and reduced maintenance.
Shingle 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).
