Variety of Vinyl: Types of Vinyl Siding

August 11, 2019 by Josh
Roofing and Siding Installed

A guide to all types and styles of vinyl siding.

The siding of your house is a defining characteristic. It is one of the first things people see from the curb, and it is the only aspect of your outward home appearance that covers the largest portion of your home. What does your siding say about you? Most likely, you currently have vinyl siding on your home. It’s one of the most popular types of siding throughout the United States, and there’s no question why.

Vinyl siding is versatile, customizable, durable, and easy to care for. From color to overall setup, your vinyl siding can create a unique look for any home. If you’re in the market to update your siding, check out some ideas and options below to help you find the perfect siding for your home.

Top Dog Home Pro: Roof & Gutter Specialists (here is why):

Here at Top Dog Home Pro, we have realized during our time in the exterior remodeling industry that too many companies try to do too many things. We have previously offered windows, siding, and door services in addition to our staple – Roofing & Gutters. However, in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we shifted our focus to offering the best roofing and gutter services to specialize. The forced pivot allowed us to provide the utmost service regarding new roofs, gutters, and gutter guards without stretching ourselves too thin in other areas. So if you have a question regarding siding or windows, we have articles in our education center to help. Still, for the foreseeable future, our exterior services will focus on new gutters and roofs!

Board and Batten (Vertical) Siding

A less common look in the average suburban neighborhood is vertical siding otherwise known as board and batten. This look involves wider boards as the main siding and a thinner board – the batten – to seal the crack between each board. Vertical siding is great in inclement weather and creates a unique style.

Horizontal Siding

You guessed it – the classic vinyl siding style. Horizontal siding is sometimes called “traditional lap” because it’s been around for centuries. Under horizontal siding, there are a few variations:

Dutch Lap

Made to look like it was hand-carved by a master craftsman, dutch lap is a classic style vinyl.

Beaded

In beaded siding, the deep “V” groove design creates a distinct shadow line between the face of the panel and the rounded bead.

Clapboard

Simple and easy, flat siding is a more basic style of the horizontal siding.
