Dutch Lap Siding Basics

Dutch lap boards are built to appear as if you took a flat board and rotated out the bottom edge a half inch or inch from the wall. Another way to think of it is that the top edge is cut thinner than the bottom edge so that the top edge tucks slightly up under the board on top of it. This differs from completely flat boards that is often associated with clapboard siding or with the boards used in a board and batten style (the battens project out from the wall, but the wider boards are perfectly straight).

Dutch lap provides an excellent way to insure that no water gets trapped behind the boards of the home, which could then eventually lead to mold or mildew issues. In addition, they add nice visual interest to the home by creating shadow lines in much the same way as beaded siding does (although the look of dutch lap is quite different).


Sizes And Options

Dutch lap comes in all different materials, including vinyl, fiber cement, composites and traditional wood siding. The boards are available in multiple lengths, the most popular of which are 8', 12' and 16'. They are also available in a number of different profiles, the most popular of which are 4" wide, 4.5" wide, 5" wide and 6" wide.
