The most common method used for installing siding is mounting narrow planks horizontally with each piece overlapping the last. This can be achieved with siding profiles such as Tongue and Groove, Shiplap or lap siding.
Vancouver’s Climate allows for the installation of almost any type of exterior cladding. These materials can be installed either horizontally or vertically depending on the system and it is possible to mix these layouts to create your own personalized home design. Models requiring a horizontal installation are typically bevel and lap siding while profiles like tongue and groove or shiplap siding can be installed vertically as well. Each of these systems offers its own selection of lengths and widths to further customize your homes exterior appearance. The main aspect that allows for a vertical installation is the profile of the siding being cut to interlock with adjoining pieces rather than just overlap them. The abundance of different siding systems available make it truly possible for you to bring your vision of a perfect home to life.
The most common vertically installed system is board and batten siding. With narrow trims installed intermittently over the vertical panel joints, this system offers a signature pattern that is often seen highlighting feature walls or even as the main siding system installed on cozy country style homes.
There are many different siding panel products available on the market, such as:
Shingle and shake siding products are most commonly fabricated using Cedar materials, especially Western Red Cedar. However, in recent years, Fibre Cement and Vinyl siding manufacturers have added shingle and shake style panels to their available profiles. These systems are typically installed showcasing a 7” reveal but this can be adjusted to meet your specific design requirements.
Stucco is composed of a layer of concrete combined with an acrylic finish coat applied over top. The layer of concrete will protect your home from the elements while the acrylic finish provides an aesthetic finish to the system while also prolonging the service life of the concrete itself.
