Siding and wall cladding is an exterior material applied to the walls of a house or other building and is used to shed water, protect the walls from the effects of weather, insulate, and often provide a key aesthetic to a structure.
Wood siding may be formed of horizontal or vertical boards, shingles, or sheet materials. In all cases, avoiding wind and rain infiltration through the joints is critical and is met by overlapping, covering or sealing the joints, or by creating an interlocking joint such as a tongue and groove or rabbet.
Siding may be attached directly to the building structure (such as to studs in the case of wood construction), or to an intermediate layer of wood (boards, planks, plywood, oriented strand board) called sheathing (or sheeting in some regions of the United States). An intermediate air/moisture barrier such as housewrap or felt paper may be applied to the sheathing.
