What is Vertical Siding?

Vertical siding consists of panels that are installed vertically or perpendicular to the foundation of your home. Most vertical siding options are flat panels, but there are some other styles available as well, depending on the brand you choose. 

One popular example of vertical siding is board and batten, which is especially popular on cottage or Cape Cod-style homes.

Benefits of Vertical Siding

Is vertical siding the right choice for your exterior? Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits of choosing this popular, modern style: 

  • It’s trendy: Vertical siding is an on-trend design, making it a great way to increase your overall curb appeal. 
  • It’s easy to clean: Water easily flows down vertical planks to the ground, where it will drain away, which makes it easier than ever to rinse off dirt and debris.
  • It’s unique: Since vertical siding isn’t as popular as horizontal siding, it’s the perfect solution to help you create an eye-catching design that will stand out from the other homes on your street.

Potential Cons of Vertical Siding

Of course, vertical siding won’t be the right choice for every homeowner. Here are a few potential drawbacks of choosing this material for your siding replacement

  • It can take longer to install: Compared to horizontal siding, vertical siding requires more steps to install. This can make the siding replacement process take longer than it would with a more traditional horizontal siding. 
  • It may not appeal to all buyers: If you plan to sell your home in the future, keep in mind that while vertical siding offers a striking look, it might not be popular with all buyers, meaning it might take longer to sell your home.
