What is board & batten cladding?
Board-and-batten cladding is a type of wood cladding inspired by traditional techniques often used in agricultural or rural buildings in the past. It stands out for its rhythmic, authentic look and also offers good weather protection.
Board & batten wood cladding: principle
Board-and-batten cladding is based on a double overlap:
- Main boards are installed in an open-joint pattern (i.e. with a gap between them)
- Board-and-batten — narrower boards — are then fixed to the joints between the main boards, covering the empty space.
Board & batten wood cladding: advantages
- Traditional appearance: it evokes old façades, with a striking graphic effect.
- Enhanced protection: the double overlap improves watertightness by limiting water infiltration and draughts.
- Shadow play: the board-and-batten panels create relief and add character to the façade.
Board & batten wood cladding: applications
This type of cladding is often used:
- For buildings with heritage or regional character,
- To give an authentic look to a new building,
- On exposed façades requiring increased protection.
