Board and Batten: Classic Style Meets Durability

Board and batten has been turning heads for generations. The clean vertical lines feel classic, but when the profile is made from metal, it brings a modern level of strength to the job.


That is what we call a good-looking upgrade.


Classic Style, Modern Material

Traditional board and batten siding is known for its wide panels and narrow raised battens. The vertical pattern adds height, dimension, and character without making the exterior feel too busy.


Metal board and batten keeps that familiar look while offering the durability today’s Colorado homes and buildings need.


Built for Colorado Conditions

Colorado weather does not take days off. Sun, wind, snow, and sudden temperature changes can put exterior materials to the test.


Metal board and batten provides:

  • Long-lasting performance
  • Lower maintenance than many traditional siding materials
  • Clean lines that complement modern and mountain architecture
  • A wide range of color options


It is a practical choice that still knows how to make an entrance.

More Than a Farmhouse Look

Board and batten may be a farmhouse favorite, but it is not limited to one design style. It works beautifully on mountain homes, cabins, commercial buildings, accent walls, gables, skirting, and full exterior applications.


Use it across the entire building or pair it with stone, wood, or horizontal siding for added contrast.

The best results start with accurate measurements, quality materials, and panels fabricated for the project.
