We will be installing a mix of clapboard siding as well as board and baton siding on this project. The clapboard siding is available in wood grain and smooth textures and can be ordered pre-finished which we will do. The board and baton will be accomplished by installing 4'x8' LP panels and attaching batons on a 16"oc layout which will cover the panel seams.
These products are highly sustainable and have a great warranty, two things that we are always looking for when selecting building products.
I will report back as the install takes place with further thoughts as we are working with the actual products.
