Board and batten
A vertical siding look — wide boards with narrow strips (battens) covering the seams between them.
What it means for you
The farmhouse and modern vertical look, common as a gable or accent rather than a whole house. Available in vinyl and fiber cement; it's a style choice, sometimes a bit more labor than horizontal lap.
Where you'll see it
Gables and accent walls; a style option on the quote.
