-
Horizontal Lap
Horizontal lap covering with Hardie planks. The lines of this covering are multi-dimensional, which allows forget about the boring flat lines of typical houses. It looks symmetric and elegant. For this surface, it’s possible to choose either a smooth or wood texture. When the most common variety of this kind of covering is being set up, each new Hardie board overlaps the previous one. There exist other variations. For instance, there might be a bead-like strip running between each board, which adds a contemporary look to the building. Another alternative is the Dutch lap style, where the bigger horizontal boards are separated by skinny, inverted segments of the covering.
-
Vertical covering
Vertical covering. It’s another possible variant of covering, which is created of vertical panels and can be successfully combined with the horizontal variation. The installation of this cement siding is a bit more time-consuming and requires specific knowledge & experience. Also, pay attention that this variety of covering is less resistant to water damage, so it’s necessary to be careful while washing it in order to prevent water from getting under the coverage. Vertical cement siding panels can come with various textures — natural wood (cedar mill), smooth, or stucco textures. The latest is different from wood and provides a more complex texture of surface.
-
