Dutch Lap Vinyl Siding is a popular lap siding because it combines the clean look of traditonal siding with a decorative groove along the top edge of the flat siding face. This groove helps increase the strength of the siding and makes it appear more uniform and less wavy than a standard clapboard vinyl siding. In addition, this beveled edge gives the siding depth and shadow, creating a richer overall look and feel.

Dutch lap vinyl siding recreates the look of a hand crafted wood siding that exudes traditional style and architecture. Dutch lap vinyl siding differs from regular siding, which uses flat panels that overlap each other on a slight angle. Dutch lap siding tends to be more rigid than flat paneled siding, making it easier to install. In terms on durability in extreme weather and heat, Dutch Lap Vinyl Siding is equal to a clapboard siding.
Dutch lap vinyl siding is typically only available in premium grades and is therefore more expensive than many types of vinyl siding. The cost will depend on the profile, whether a 4" or a 5", the textture you decide on and the siding manufacturer such as Alside or CertainTeed. Due to its aesthetic appeal and durability, most builders and/or contractors offer Dutch lap vinyl siding to homeowners as an exterior cladding option.
