Vertical siding is frequently found on non-residential structures such as office buildings, barns, and tool sheds. However, it can add an interesting decorative element to a home. During installation, it takes a few extra steps, such as adding furring strips horizontally to create a level surface for nailing when applying vertical siding onto brick, stucco, or concrete block. It can also be combined with other types of siding and ornamental accents to create a truly unique look.
Most Common Siding is Horizontal
Horizontal siding is the style of siding that is most commonly placed on homes. Many homeowners prefer to have horizontal siding because it creates a more traditional look. Depending on the type of siding, the horizontal siding can be applied as strips or shingles. It does not involve any extra steps like vertical siding. When installing horizontal siding, the more even the wall looks, the better the outcome will be.
