Benefits of Metal Board & Batten Siding For Your Project
Metal board-and-batten siding gives homes, shops, barns, and commercial buildings a clean, vertical exterior style with the durability of roll-formed steel.
Clean Vertical Style
Board and batten metal siding creates a vertical profile that gives exterior walls a finished look without relying on a standard ribbed panel style.
Concealed-Fastener Appearance
Metal Battenâ„¢ uses a concealed-fastener design, while Elite Battenâ„¢ uses snap-on battens to create a hidden-fastener finished appearance.
Lower-Maintenance Exterior
Metal board and batten siding does not require the regular painting, staining, or sealing often associated with traditional wood siding.
Weather-Ready Steel Siding
Roll-formed steel siding helps protect exterior walls from everyday weather exposure when paired with the right trim and installation details.
Two Board-and-Batten Profile Options
Metal Battenâ„¢ creates a more traditional board-and-batten appearance, while Elite Battenâ„¢ creates a bolder vertical profile built from an Elite Rib panel and snap-on batten system.

Siding For Different Building Types
Residential
Buildings
Metal board and batten siding can give homes, garages, additions, porches, and accent walls a clean vertical exterior style. Metal Battenâ„¢ may be a good fit for projects that need a traditional board-and-batten look, while Elite Battenâ„¢ may be preferred when a bolder profile is part of the design.
Barns &
Agricultural Buildings
Barns, farm shops, equipment buildings, and agricultural structures often need durable exterior wall materials that can handle working-building demands. Elite Battenâ„¢ may be especially worth comparing for projects where a stronger, more pronounced board-and-batten profile fits the look of the building.
Commercial
Buildings
Commercial buildings may use board-and-batten metal siding to create a more finished exterior for offices, retail spaces, service buildings, customer-facing walls, or mixed-use projects. Metal Battenâ„¢ and Elite Battenâ„¢ both give commercial projects a vertical siding option that feels more designed than a standard utility panel.
Shops, Garages, &
Post-Frame Buildings
Shops, garages, and post-frame buildings often need siding that can protect work areas, tools, vehicles, and stored materials while still creating a finished exterior. Board-and-batten metal siding can be useful when the project calls for vertical lines instead of a standard ribbed wall panel.
Colors, Gauges, & Trim
Panel profile is only one part of a complete board-and-batten siding project. Color, gauge, finish, trim, and installation details all affect how the siding looks and fits on the building. Metal Batten™ is a 26 GA steel panel with 10″ net coverage, a ¾″ rib height, a 2″ batten profile, concealed fastening, and vertical installation over a solid substrate. Elite Batten™ uses the Elite Rib panel as its foundation and adds snap-on battens to create a bold board-and-batten appearance.
