The Available Patterns of Vinyl Siding

If you are replacing the home siding you must know about the vinyl siding. The wide variety of siding allows going creative with the house exterior. You can run the creativity wild as there are endless design, pattern and color options along with material. Here we will discuss about the siding patterns.

Horizontal Patterns

The horizontal siding patterns are most popular and the credit goes to the immense capacity of protecting the house from precipitation. This siding option has multiple patterns available. Let’s discuss in brief-

Traditional Lap

The traditional lap siding is one of the most common one. This is known for its simplicity, effectiveness and ease of installation. It has features like siding boards that are layered one above another. This layering method protects from water intrusion. This quality makes lap siding effective against precipitation. This is minimally expensive and aesthetically appealing and greatly accepted as a siding pattern.

Dutch Lap

Dutch lap siding is almost same with the traditional lap siding though it has groove cut out feature atop the horizontal boards.This is similarly effective like lap siding and the groove is there for adding textural contrast to the surface as every panel will have more shadow on the grooved panel.

Beaded

The beaded siding is a common vinyl siding type which is in reality an updated lap siding concept with more texture. The beaded sidings have a bead beneath each horizontal board with more textured surface.

Vertical Patterns

Panel Siding

The vertical panel siding is similarly simple like lap siding but this is placed vertically. It looks flat and the panels are placed one at top of another.

Board and Batten

This is a traditional siding type and this vertical siding was first made of wood. Panel boards of this siding have battens that cover the cracks and create a waterproof surface. The battens give a shadow on the siding boards and create an architectural structure.

Shake Patterns

Square

The square shakes have square cuts and they are placed like one row above another row. The Square shakes have a traditional appearance and they put a little character to a home when this is clubbed with horizontal or vertical siding.

Round

The round shakes have a semicircle edge. The shakes give a home a comfortable and cozy look.
