What is James Hardie Board and Batten Siding?

Board and batten features wide flat boards alternating with narrow cover strips in a vertical pattern.

It creates a bold look that suits farmhouses, Craftsman homes, and contemporary builds.

What Makes Board and Batten a Smart Choice

Vertical Profile: Clean vertical lines draw the eye upward, making homes appear taller and more commanding.
Fiber Cement Durability: Unlike wood that warps and rots, James Hardie uses cement, sand, and cellulose fibers — built to last decades.
ColorPlus Technology: The finish bakes in during manufacturing, resisting chipping, peeling, and fading for 15 years.
Profile Pairings: Board and batten mixes well with HardiePlank lap siding — vertical panels on gables with lap below creates a custom look.
Architectural Versatility: Works with Colonial, Craftsman, Farmhouse, and contemporary styles across Avon’s Norfolk County housing stock.
Low Maintenance: No painting schedules, no splitting boards — a hose rinse every six to twelve months keeps it fresh.
Class A Fire Rating: Slows flame spread — meaningful protection, not a fireproof solution.

Best Board and Batten Combinations for Avon

Top Recommendation: Hardie Panel with Hardie Trim Batten Boards in Cobblestone or Heathered Moss for a warm, organic look.

Best for Bold Contrast: Deep Ocean board and batten on gables with Arctic White lap siding — popular south of Boston.
