Farmhouse- style homes have never been so popular in Quebec.

The Board and Batten siding features large fiber cement panels as well as a distinctive trim that gives the home a clean look.

It is clear that this type of exterior siding gives an exceptional result. In fact, it is in high demand among suppliers.

But what is the actual price of Board and Batten siding products in Quebec?

As of this writing, ting, I am almost done with the construction of a new “Farmhouse” style house. Thus, I have all the prices as of 2023 ready to share with you.

What is a Board and Batten siding?

Let’s start with the basics: what is a Board and Batten siding?

The main supplier of this type of product is James Hardie. They offer quality products for all kinds of exterior cladding materials, including fiber cement.

The term « Board and Batten » comes from the English language and translates into something like this: « Panel and Rod ».

That’s because that’s exactly what it is. Board and batten” is actually fiber cement panels with fiber cement rods installed on them to give relief and design.

It’s as simple as that. Since the material used is fiber cement, the life expectancy of this type of siding is very high.

Board - Fiber cement panel

The term “Board” refers to 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 fiber cement panels that are installed directly on the house to cover its surface. The panels are made in different colors but the most popular is white. The product is also available in black, a very fashionable option.

Batten - Fiber cement rods

The term “Batten” refers to 2.5 inch fiber cement rods that are installed on the panels to create long, clean lines. Batten rods can be installed vertically or even horizontally in some areas, depending on the desired effect.
