Design tips with KWP Siding

• Horizontal Siding or Vertical Siding

Your home’s architecture will definitely influence the type of profile you select. More traditional house style will gravitate towards the horizontal siding, this profile lends well to a craftsman as well as Cape Cod styles. Vertical siding panels not only eye catching; it can also give the illusion of height. We suggest using this profile on one-story homes such as ranch styles. Choosing the vertical siding in a neutral color will also aid in creating a sense of grandeur.

• Siding Profile Size Matters

Another thing to keep in mind, width of the profile. A stately home, like a colonial, will benefit from a wider panel as it will enhance the home’s ample facade. Choose a narrower profile that will cast a pronounce shadow to give off the effect of height. Once again, this is ideal for a ranch or bungalow style house.

• Shake it up

Don’t be afraid to mix textures when selecting materials for the exterior of your home. Adding engineered wood shakes to the gables of your home will not only add visual interest, it will also provide added design dimension.
