Clapboard Siding
What is Clapboard Siding?
Clapboard siding is a type of aligning made from wedge-shaped boards which are designed to coincide with each other. Many people find clapboard siding aesthetically pleasing, and it is associated especially with frame homes built in the American region of New England. The overlapping design allowed the wood to expand and contract with changing weather, and it encouraged rain and snow to run off the side of the structure, rather than penetrating it and causing damage.
Many of these materials are really more durable than wood, making them a better choice for weather activity, and once they are covered, it is hard to distinguish them from traditional wooden clapboard siding. Repairing clapboard siding can be time consuming, because of the way it is initially applied. For this reason, people tend to stay on top of their clapboard maintenance, painting their clapboards regularly and promptly removing boards which show signs of rot and damage.
