In Richmond, homes with horizontal lap siding can blend into the streetscape. Board and batten siding creates vertical lines and deep shadows, giving your home a presence that reflects your investment.
This vertical style also performs well in our wet winters. The battens protect seams from driving rain, reducing worries about moisture behind the walls. It’s a practical upgrade that minimizes the maintenance of older siding.

Enhanced Curb Appeal
Flat siding panels can make a nice home blend into the streets. Board and batten siding adds dimension with wide boards and narrow battens that create strong vertical shadows.
The installation process is key. Our team carefully levels each board and seals every joint to keep moisture out. This way, your exterior stays sharp for years. That’s why more homeowners are choosing board and batten siding in Vancouver to stand out from the rest.
Richmond’s damp, marine climate tests exterior materials every season. Siding that can’t handle constant moisture will warp, rot, or fade quickly. However, board and batten, when installed correctly, holds up beautifully.
Many homes in Richmond have traditional or craftsman details that go well with vertical siding. We adjust our methods to local conditions, making sure your home’s new look withstands wind-driven rain and salt air.
Board and Batten Installation
Board and batten siding uses wide vertical boards, usually 1×10 or 1×12, covered by narrow battens at the seams. In Richmond’s rainy climate, we suggest using fiber cement boards with a baked-on color finish or treated wood like cedar to resist moisture. The boards are installed over pressure-treated furring strips, creating a ¾-inch air gap that helps the wall breathe.
Starting from a level bottom trim, each board is fastened with corrosion-resistant ring-shank nails driven into the strips, not the sheathing. We leave a ¼-inch gap between boards to allow for seasonal humidity changes, which helps prevent buckling. Battens overlap these gaps by at least ½ inch on each side and are nailed only into the board beneath, not through the joint. This allows the assembly to move independently.
At window heads and corners, custom metal flashings direct water outward before it reaches the building wrap. All cut ends are sealed with paintable acrylic caulk to block moisture, and the bottom course is left slightly open for drainage. This installation method keeps Richmond homes dry despite the region’s frequent winter rain.
From an engineering view, board and batten siding on Richmond homes acts as a ventilated rainscreen system. The main water barrier is a synthetic building wrap, which is overlapped shingle-style behind the furring strips. This way, any water that gets behind the siding runs down the wrap and out the bottom weep screed. This secondary drainage plane is important due to the region’s high rainfall and wind-driven moisture.
The vertical board design sheds water faster than horizontal lap siding, but the real protection happens at the penetrations. We use flexible flashing tape around windows and doors, extending past the furring strips to bridge the air gap and direct moisture outward. Because Richmond faces salt-laden air from the Strait of Georgia, all fasteners are type-316 stainless steel to avoid rust and maintain strength.
Thermal and moisture expansion are handled through a floating attachment method. Boards are secured only at the batten nail line, allowing them to expand and contract without stress. In Richmond’s humid winters and mild summers, this design prevents splitting and keeps the siding flat against the house, even after years of weather changes.
