Profiles & Layouts
Choose the Exterior Expression
Lap Siding
Horizontal courses create a familiar residential siding appearance with adjustable exposure and colour options.
Board-and-Batten
Vertical panels and battens create strong vertical lines suited to gables, additions and full-building designs.
Architectural Panels
Larger panel formats create a cleaner facade grid and require deliberate joint, opening and corner coordination.
Shingle or Shake Profiles
Textured individual or panelized profiles can add detail to gables and traditional residential designs.
A Complete Wall Scope
What Sits Behind the Finished Cladding
The exact assembly depends on the selected manufacturer and the existing wall. A typical project review considers the substrate, water-resistive layer, flashing continuity, furring or attachment surface, product-specific fasteners, clearances, joints, trims and finish treatment.
Important rule: clearance, fastener-spacing and joint dimensions are not published as universal values on this page. These values must follow the current installation instructions for the exact selected product and project conditions.
