Understanding Board and Batten Wall Layout

What is Board and Batten?

Board and batten is a traditional exterior siding and interior wall treatment that uses narrow strips of wood (battens) to cover the gaps between wider boards, creating a distinctive pattern of vertical lines.

Key Considerations

• Wall Preparation: Ensure your wall surface is smooth and level
• Material Selection: Choose high-quality boards for better durability
• Spacing Consistency: Maintain even spacing for professional results
• Paint Finish: Use proper primers and paints for lasting results

Installation Tips

Start from the center of your wall and work outward to ensure symmetrical spacing. Use a level to ensure perfectly vertical installation. Consider the location of electrical outlets and switches in your layout planning.
