Profiles

Board & Batten composite siding brings the deep vertical rhythm of a modern farmhouse exterior to an UltraShield® capped composite cladding profile that never needs painting, caulking, or board replacement at the ten-year mark. Wide field boards alternate with raised vertical battens to create the deliberate shadow-line detail that defines the board-and-batten facade language — modern farmhouse, agricultural conversion, accessory dwelling unit, coastal residential — all carried on the same UltraShield rain-screen cladding platform as our All Weather and European siding lines. The vertical install dictates a particular trim language at openings and corners, and we supply matched aluminum siding trims for both, so the finished facade reads as carefully detailed architecture rather than a do-it-yourself attempt. 25-year warranty, three UltraShield colors, and zero-maintenance ownership.

Colors

Our UltraShield® color range spans natural wood tones and contemporary grays, each finished with the same fade- and stain-resistant cap. Colors shown are representative — order a physical sample to confirm the exact tone and grain before you buy.

Trims & Accessories

Board & Batten is finished in aluminum rather than composite. Two trim sets are involved, and which one goes where depends on how the profile is run — the notes below each set say which.

Installed vertically, these go on the horizontal portions, with the batten removed.

The UltraShield® Difference

Engineered to outlast the elements.

Every NewTechWood board pairs a dense polyethylene-and-wood-fiber core with a 360° polymer cap, tested against stains, scratches, fade, and boiling water. The result: composite that looks like wood, behaves like a fortress, and stays beautiful for decades.
