Horizontal Siding

Horizontal siding is the style of siding that is placed on most homes. Many homeowners prefer to have horizontal siding because it creates a more traditional look. Depending on the type of siding, the horizontal siding can be applied as strips or shingles. It does not involve any extra steps like vertical siding. When installing horizontal siding, the writers at

Vertical Siding
Vertical siding is most commonly found on non-residential structures such as office buildings, barns and tool sheds. Even though it is not commonly found on homes, it does not mean that homeowners cannot choose to install vertical siding.
When installing vertical siding, it takes a few extra steps, such as adding furring strips horizontally to create a level surface for nailing when applying vertical siding onto brick, stucco or block.
 
Which Type of Siding is Right for You?
When choosing between vertical siding and horizontal siding, homeowners should look through catalogs and websites for examples of each type of siding on buildings. If that's not helpful enough, they could go around their town looking for examples and taking photographs. By looking at different examples, homeowners will learn which style best works with their personal preferences and their home's style. If homeowners are interested in vertical siding, they should check with an appraiser to see if that would hurt the value of their home or affect its selling ability.
