--
Board and batten siding is a type of cladding that was first used in the United States in the late 1800s after being introduced by English immigrants in the 1630s. It is made of horizontal boards, usually placed vertically, nailed to a batten on the outside with battens or strips of wood nailed horizontally over the joints.
Board and batten siding is usually used on houses that have a gable roof with an asphalt shingle roof. It can also be used on houses that have a flat roof, but this would require an additional layer like plywood or metal sheets to protect it from rain and sun exposure.
--
It was used in the US for about 50 years predominantly before it was replaced by other materials such as plywood and vinyl siding. Board and batten was often used as a cheaper alternative to clapboards, shingles, or quarter-round moulding for exterior walls when dealing with uneven surfaces such as stucco.
You will often see this material on older homes and barns or outbuildings. It is still a popular option for those who are looking to create a period home feel.
