Lap Siding

Lap Siding

lap siding

Lap siding is the most common type of siding found here in Colorado.  The name originates from the way that the siding is installed.  One siding board is installed first and the next board “laps” over it to ensure that water sheds down the wall and doesn’t get behind the siding.

One of the reasons we love James Hardie siding so much is the wide range of possibilities that are available regarding lap size.
