Love the look of board and batten vertical siding? You and just about everyone else – thanks in large part to the recent resurgence of the farmhouse style.
Wood is a preferred material for exterior cladding, often chosen for renovation or new construction projects in this style. Specifically known as “boards and battens,” this siding from MAIBEC is composed of 10-inch wide boards combined with a 2-inch wide batten.
The siding has a textured finish and is installed with nails (the “regular fastening system” in Maibec’s terminology). Beyond white, several colors are naturally available. Board and batten comes in a wide range of colors:
- 12 Natural tones
- A huge selection of solid colors from its color chart
- Limitless custom color choices
Maibec uses fir and spruce for its genuine wood siding. These species are known for being durable, impact-resistant, and renewable.
Sarah-Eve: What are the advantages of choosing MAIBEC board and batten siding?
MAIBEC: By far the biggest advantage is the recognized quality of Maibec genuine wood siding. Our siding is made of real wood and manufactured according to the highest standards for performance and appearance. Our siding has become a timeless and current classic that enhances any architectural style.
Secondly, Maibec products are available through a large network of retailers across Canada. If you order our board and batten siding in Maibec White through Maibec Express, you can get a quick 10-day delivery from your retailer.
Sarah-Eve: What are the advantages of choosing MAIBEC board and batten in genuine wood vs. another type of material?
MAIBEC: Maibec genuine wood siding will add an organic warmth and beauty to your home for many years to come, whether you use it on its own or pair it with our genuine wood trim or shingles.
Another reason to choose real wood over another type of siding material is the color flexibility. It could be one of the time-tested colors from our solid color chart, one of our high-demand Natural tones, or your own custom color. Just tell us the solid color you want, and we can make an exact match with our TrueMatch system.
Sarah-Eve: According to Maibec’s expertise, having worked in the exterior cladding industry for a long time, are the board and batten and farmhouse styles here to stay?
MAIBEC: Maibec has been selling board and batten siding for many years already. Of course, there are certain years when this trend is stronger, but over time we realize it’s a timeless classic! It’s mainly the “accessories” of the house that will follow trends (e.g., lighting fixtures, window styles).
Board and batten siding is always in style, whatever the current trend may be. Another good reason to go with natural wood for your siding is that if one day down the road you decide to change the color to keep up with the latest trends, it will be easy. That’s not the case with all siding materials.
Maibec is a well-known name in wood siding. During my recent collaboration with the MAIBEC team on a 3D exterior design project, their commitment to client satisfaction was evident. They offer quick solutions, durable products, and a service that lives up to their reputation.
