The traditional vinyl siding look is one where each "board" appears to overlap the one underneath to recreate the look of real wood siding.

Dutchlap is a more decorative variation on the clapboard style where the face of the siding is beveled for added dimension. The bevel cut of its edge recreates a style used extensively by early American settlers. It resembles the careful, hand-carved craftsmanship of old world carpenters. The shadow line of dutchlap suggests a softer look that gives the home a distinctive exterior.

Another decorative variation of the traditional style is beaded siding. It features a half-round molding-like effect cut into the bottom of the panel to create shadows and more dimension. It evokes the elegant look of Southern colonial and classic Victorian homes.

With a rounded bottom edge and overlapping rows, scallops recreate the decorative style typical of Victorian or Cape Cod homes. Typically used as an architectural accent, they add a decorative focal point to the exterior.

Shakes have a square-edge design and rich cedar texture that resembles hand-cut cedar shingles. They can be used on the entire house or as a decorative accent to add a New England flair to a variety of home styles.
