Board & Batten
A Modern Take on a Classic Vertical Siding Profile
Similar to other popular cladding profiles, Board & Batten is a simple yet stylish cladding option for residential and commercial applications that offers a longer lifespan and more design possibilities for your projects.
Available in two coverages with a 2-1/4” wide batten at a depth of 1/2”. The floating clip system offers easy installation with no exposed fasteners, ideal for thermal expansion and contraction.
Be sure to also check out our new roll-formed product, Forma Batten, which is similar in style and strength.

Installation Guide
The use of a proper underlayment is vital to the performance of any roofing system. Forma Steel strongly recommends the use of a peel and stick membrane for any slopes lower than 3/12. Since every project is different, care and attention should be paid to the product that is being specified so that the building performs as designed.
Venting, breathability and water resistance are all components of a building envelope and should be confirmed with building designers for optimal performance.
Custom Trim
Our Board & Batten panels come in our standard 1/2″ trim collection. Our Forma Batten panels come in our Forma Batten trim collection.
