Aristolath vs. Wood Board & Batten Siding

The ups and downs of wood siding.

Maintenance. Wood siding will need regular, continual care over the years. Painting, re-staining, and possible board replacements are in your future.

Fire resistance. As a combustible, wood siding is not resistant to fire.

Weather resistance. The pores in wood allow it to absorb moisture, and its organic nature make it susceptible to decay. Without regular care, it will deteriorate over time.

Sustainability. Wood is a renewable resource, but wood siding does require the harvesting of trees
