Board & Batten

Traditional board-and-batten siding, especially in wood, can develop inconsistencies over time as materials shrink, swell, warp, or crack. FastPlank® Board & Batten is manufactured from precision-engineered 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions, ensuring every board and batten remains straight, consistent, and dimensionally stable for the life of the installation. Like every FastPlank profile, Board & Batten is built on the same Clip & Slide™ tongue-and-groove installation system, allowing boards and battens to install with the same precision every time. Available in lengths up to 24 feet, the system can create long, uninterrupted runs with fewer joints and a cleaner overall appearance. The result is crisp, uniform shadow lines, consistent spacing, and a finished architectural aesthetic that remains true to the original design intent for decades.

Board & Batten is offered in four stocked woodgrain and four stocked solid finishes, plus 20 special-order woodgrains. The ColorMatch® Program supports custom solid color matching to project specifications.

Board & Batten is one of the most versatile cladding profiles available, bridging classic and contemporary architectural styles with ease. On single-family homes, it is a natural fit for modern farmhouse, Scandinavian, and transitional designs, where its strong vertical lines create a sense of height and simplicity. Whether finished in crisp white, bold black, natural woodgrain, or custom colors, the profile feels both familiar and current. On multifamily and commercial projects, Board & Batten takes on a distinctly modern character. Long, uninterrupted vertical runs emphasize scale and proportion, helping create clean, contemporary façades that feel intentional and refined. It works equally well as a primary wall cladding or as an accent element, making it a flexible design tool for architects seeking to add rhythm, texture, and visual interest to a building.

Yes. In fact, Board & Batten is designed specifically for vertical installation. Its clean, repeating lines naturally draw the eye upward, creating a strong sense of height, scale, and proportion across a façade. Manufactured from precision-engineered 6063-T6 aluminum extrusions, the boards and battens remain straight and consistent, allowing shadow lines and spacing to stay crisp from top to bottom. The result is a clean architectural rhythm that works equally well on feature walls, accent areas, and full-building applications.

Yes. Board & Batten pairs exceptionally well with other cladding systems and is often used to create contrast, define architectural features, or break up large wall areas. Its strong vertical rhythm complements panel systems, horizontal siding, masonry, and other FastPlank® profiles, giving architects flexibility to create layered, visually dynamic façades. Because all FastPlank profiles share the same Clip & Slide™ installation system and tongue-and-groove platform, transitions between profiles are clean, cohesive, and straightforward to execute. Whether used as a feature element or combined across an entire building envelope, Board & Batten integrates seamlessly into a wide range of architectural compositions.
