When to use Double-Course Siding
Double-course siding is best when siding large areas without architectural complexity.
When it comes to covering large areas, double-course siding is the smart choice. Compared to single-course siding, it installs with 50 percent fewer hammer swings and nails. Double-course siding also provides more coverage per panel than single-course siding – covering 4.55 square feet per panel versus 3.5 square feet per panel, respectively – an improvement of 30 percent in coverage area.
When to use Single-Course Siding
Single-course siding is optimal when siding gables, angular spaces, and small accents.
Due to its size, single-course siding produces less waste than double-course siding in applications that require a lot of cuts—such as gables. It should also be used when finishing a run on a wall that is less than seven inches.
