Everything about Clapboard Architecture totally explained
Clapboard, also known as
bevel siding or
lap siding or
weather-board (with regional variants as to the exact definitions of these terms), is a
board used typically for exterior horizontal
siding that has one edge thicker than the other and where the board above laps over the one below. It is often found in
New England architecture.
Clapboard siding got its name from the Dutch Klappen, meaning to split. It was originally split by hand from logs in a radial manner. Later, the boards were radially sawn in a mill.
In
Australia, this kind of cladding is known as
weatherboard, and was extensively used in forested regions from the Colonial period to the mid-20th Century.
In newer, cheaper construction, clapboard is often imitated as "
siding" made of
vinyl,
aluminum, or
fiber cement.
