Board and batten before and after, on your house

Vertical boards with raised battens are the single most recognisable modern-farmhouse move, and the one most likely to look wrong on the wrong roofline. The preview applies it to your real facade, so you're judging your house rather than a builder's show home.

Full facade vs gables only

Wrapping the whole house in batten is a commitment; running it only across the gables or a front-facing bump-out gives most of the effect for a fraction of the material. Render the two side by side and the decision usually makes itself.

Board and batten over brick

Plenty of 1970s and 1980s brick houses get a batten upper storey rather than a full re-clad. The AI keeps your brick where it is and applies batten above it, so you can see whether the two materials sit together on your particular house.

Batten spacing and proportion

Wider batten spacing reads contemporary, tighter spacing reads traditional farmhouse. Because the render works from your own photo, the proportions you see are set against your actual window heights — not an idealised elevation.

Frequently asked questions

What does board and batten look like on my house?
That depends entirely on your rooflines and window spacing, which is why galleries of other people's houses don't settle it. Upload your photo and the AI applies vertical board-and-batten to your facade while keeping the windows, roof and trim exactly where they are.
Should board and batten cover the whole house or just the gables?
Gable-only batten is the cheaper, lower-risk choice and reads as an accent; full-facade batten commits the house to a modern farmhouse look. Render both on your own photo before you price either.
What colors work best with board and batten?
White, greige and charcoal dominate because the shadow lines do the work — the battens supply the texture, so the color can stay quiet. Black batten over white siding is the sharpest contrast option.
Does board and batten work on a brick house?
Usually as a partial: batten on the upper storey or gables over brick below is a common and convincing combination. Try it as a render before committing to the demo work.
