A variant of traditional vertical board & batten siding, CertainTeed Reverse Board & Batten Reinforced Siding is a unique vinyl siding profile that can be used alone or with a combination of other siding styles on a home. 
It’s narrow, flat-faced boards and wide battens provide a rustic farmhouse appearance that was previously only achieved with real wood, and its authentic woodgrain finish comes in 10 low-gloss designer colors.
Reverse Board & Batten Reinforced Siding has the low install cost of vinyl siding, is virtually maintenance free, and is free from rotting, swelling, and long-term degradation. 
Reverse Board & Batten siding features an extra thick panel that is reinforced with a foam backer to create the rigidity and durability of hardboard cladding. It is lighter, easier to handle, and more weather-resistant than real wood, fiber cement, and wood composite siding. 
Other installer benefits include a secure, post-formed positive DuraLock™ lock with RigidForm™ technology and a partial rollover nail hem. Reverse Board & Batten Reinforced Siding also fits all standard 3/4" accessories. Check with your local representative for more information and location availability.
