What Is Clapboard & Lap Siding?
Clapboard and lap siding are traditional exterior wall coverings made of long, overlapping boards. They provide weather protection, durability, and a classic architectural appearance commonly used in residential construction.
How Siding Estimation Works
The total wall area is divided by the exposed coverage of each board to determine how many siding boards are required. Waste allowance is typically added for cutting and overlaps.
