Extend the proven performance of metal beyond the roofline with Board & Batten siding designed for lasting curb appeal and protection.
For decades, homeowners, builders, and property owners have trusted metal roofing to protect their homes and businesses from the toughest conditions nature can deliver. Metal roofs stand up to hail, wind, moisture, UV exposure, and the test of time. They require minimal maintenance and provide long-term value that traditional materials often struggle to match.
So here’s a question worth asking:
If you trust metal to protect the most exposed part of your building, why not trust it for your siding as well?
Central States’ Board & Batten metal siding panel combines the timeless appeal of traditional board and batten architecture with the proven performance of steel. Central States’ Board & Batten features a concealed-fastener design and is available in painted, textured, and high-definition digitally printed woodgrain finishes. The innovative direct print technology recreates a hyper-realistic appearance of natural wood on steel.
The Look Homeowners Love
Board & Batten remains one of the most sought-after exterior styles in residential construction. Its distinctive vertical lines work beautifully across a range of architectural designs, from modern farmhouse and mountain retreats to contemporary homes and commercial applications.
The challenge has always been choosing a material that delivers the look without the headaches.
Traditional wood siding typically requires ongoing maintenance, painting, staining, and repairs. Fiber cement and engineered wood products offer alternatives but still face challenges related to weather exposure, upkeep, and long-term durability.
Central States Board & Batten offers the same visual appeal while leveraging the strength and reliability of steel. Its vertical profile adds depth, texture, and character to any structure while providing a clean, modern appearance that remains attractive year after year.
Real Wood Appearance. Steel Performance.
One of the most exciting features of Central States’ Board & Batten is its direct print woodgrain technology.
Available in realistic finishes including Dark Barnwood, Rough Cedar, Dark Oak, Barnwood, and Hickory, the process creates remarkably authentic woodgrain patterns directly on steel panels. The result is a siding solution that delivers the warmth and charm of natural wood while eliminating many of the maintenance concerns that come with it.
From both a distance and close examination, the woodgrain finish creates a premium appearance that enhances curb appeal without demanding the repainting, staining, or weather-related repairs associated with traditional wood exteriors.
Built for the Real World
Exterior siding faces a daily assault from the elements: Rain. Wind. Heat. Cold. Humidity. Insects. UV rays.
Unlike many traditional siding materials, steel doesn’t rot, absorb moisture, or become a food source for pests. Central States Board & Batten utilizes a Galvalume substrate and high-quality coating systems engineered to deliver long-term performance and protection.
For homeowners, that means less worry and fewer maintenance projects. For builders and contractors, it means delivering a premium exterior solution that can continue looking great well into the future.
A Natural Extension of Metal Roofing
Many homeowners already appreciate the benefits of metal roofing. They know metal lasts. They know it performs. They know it provides peace of mind.
Extending those same advantages to the walls of a building is a natural next step.
When paired together, metal roofing and metal siding create a cohesive building envelope that offers exceptional durability, design flexibility, and long-term value. The result is an exterior that not only looks stunning but also works harder to protect the investment inside.
It’s a simple concept:
If metal is trusted to shield your roof from the elements every day, there’s no reason it can’t do the same for your siding.
