What is Board and Batten?

Board and batten is a type of exterior siding or interior paneling that alternates wide boards and narrow wooden strips, also known as battens. The wide boards are typically placed vertically and are spaced apart with the narrower battens covering the spaces in between to create a layered effect. This design is often used in architecture for its unique aesthetic appeal and its practical function of providing a weatherproof barrier.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ N = \frac{100}{2} = 50 \]

The Number of Board and Batten Panels Needed is 50.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ N = \frac{150}{3} = 50 \]

The Number of Board and Batten Panels Needed is 50.
