AZEK Board and Batten: Installation with Trim First

Create the ideal board and batten look for a variety of home styles; from the modern farmhouse look to the more rustic craftsman style home. Combine different sizing of AZEK board (sheet) and batten strips (narrow trim boards) or simply adjust the spacing to create unique patterns that add texture and shadows to a home’s exterior.
Completely rot-resistant, AZEK can be installed from the ground up to gable walls without the worry of damage from water unlike wood and other lesser building materials.

Why battens no more than 16" apart?
