It fits perfectly with the farmhouse aesthetic, adding character and charm to your project!
Made from high-quality aluminum, Arcan aluminum board and batten siding offers beautiful depth and a refined texture, creating a visually striking facade that enhances the exterior of any home. Arcan aluminum boards and battens are durable and resistant to weather, mold, and insect damage. Its low-maintenance surface requires no painting or sealing, offering lasting beauty with minimal maintenance.
These siding products are designed for vertical installation only to ensure consistent alignment, a clean finish, and a uniform look.
Why Choose Vertical Aluminum Exterior Siding?
Vertical 8″ is particularly interesting when:
- You want to accentuate the height of an architectural feature (gables, stairwell walls, entrances, garages), especially with a board and batten finish;
- You are looking for a more contemporary look than classic horizontal siding, while staying within the aluminum siding category
- You want aluminum exterior siding that won’t rust, rot, or be damaged by insects (unlike wood or certain composite panels)
- You prefer vertical aluminum siding that can perform well in the Quebec climate (rain, snow, wind, freeze/thaw cycles)
Compared to horizontal siding, vertical orientation facilitates water drainage and runoff, which helps reduce dirt buildup. This is a real advantage when cleaning aluminum exterior siding, especially on exposed facades.
Technical Characteristics of Vertical 8″ Aluminum Exterior Siding
- 8″ vertical profile: wide, clean strips highlight the architectural lines of the building and give it a more slender appearance (ideal for a board and batten effect).
- Pre-painted aluminum on a smooth surface (baked polyester): a durable finish for stable and uniform exterior aluminum siding.
- Lightweight material that can be worked with standard tools: simplifying installation for both installers and contractors.
This Vertical 8″ aluminum exterior cladding can also be combined with horizontal siding such as Horizontal 8″ Aluminum Siding or D-4 Aluminum Exterior Siding to create more dynamic facades.
Aluminum Exterior Siding: Price and Project
The price for aluminum exterior siding for a Vertical 8″ project, including model board and batten, depends on several factors:
- the total surface area to be covered
- the height of the walls and the complexity of the volumes (gables, recesses, etc.);
- the necessary accessories (mouldings, corners, beginnings, soffits, gutters).

Maintenance and Cleaning of Vertical 8″ Aluminum Exterior Siding
One of the great advantages of aluminum exterior siding is how easy it is to maintain:
- Washing with clean water or lukewarm water and mild soap is usually enough to remove dust, pollen, and embedded dirt.
- Unlike wood siding, no regular stripping or staining is necessary.
- An annual visual inspection allows you to check the overall condition of the siding and accessories (mouldings, corners, soffits).
Thanks to the ease of cleaning and durability of aluminum exterior siding, Vertical 8″ Aluminum Exterior Siding remains a wise choice for anyone who wants a modern, high-performance, and easy-to-maintain facade.
