Like banisters, wainscoting, and porch rails, vinyl siding comes in a variety of shapes. Some have deeper overlaps or ridges, such as Dutchlap panels. Others are made to "sit" closer to the exterior wall surface for a slimmer profile, like vertical panels, clapboard styles, and Vytec Shakes.

Traditional
Traditional, also called clapboard style, is the profile most often chosen by homeowners. Each "board" appears to overlap the one below it, creating the look of wood siding. Traditional panels "set" closer to the exterior wall for a slimmer profile.

Dutchlap
Dutchlap profiles are similar to bevel style, but with the addition of a sharply angled bevel directly underneath each "overlap." This gives the siding softer shadow lines and a more distinctive look.

Specialty Siding
The shakes mimic the look of wood siding with square-edged vertical lines and the texture of cedar. They can be used on an entire home or for accent on larger homes for spectacular visual contrast.

Triple Three
Triple 3 is a version of Traditional Siding. Triple 3 vinyl siding hearkens back to an era when grand homes were crafted by artisans. And quality workmanship reflected pride. Narrow board siding. The appeal of freshly painted panels. The charm of natural wood. With the convenience of modern materials.
