Today’s market offers many types of exterior finishes for a house, but more homeowners than ever are choosing lap siding. Whether you are building a new home or simply refurbishing an older one, lap siding can help to enhance the exterior while protecting what’s inside.

What is Lap Siding?

Lap siding is designed to create a watertight seal for your home, keeping out the elements and helping to avoid any structural damage. To form this seal the lap siding varies from traditional siding style in two ways: design and installation. These two factors vary across the two main types of lap siding: Clapboard and Dutch Lap.

Styles of Lap Siding

Lap siding comes in many different materials and styles with widths from 3 to 7 inches and lengths of 12, 16 and 20 foot. Available in vinyl or polymer, there are 12 traditional types of lap siding. It is also available in double or triple “courses,” which imitates wood boards.

Straight Lap Siding

This style of lap siding utilizes long, even planks that are slightly thicker at the bottom. Each plank has a slight curve to it from top to bottom which helps to shed water away from the home. The planks are installed from the top of the structure to the bottom, creating a water-tight seal.

Dutch Lap Siding

With dutch lap, the installation method is the same. The main difference is the way the planks are structured. Instead of the slight curve with a wide base that straight lap offers, with dutch lap the bottom portion of the plank is beveled out. This bevel creates a shadowed edge along the top and gives the home a more refined finish.
