Vertical Vinyl Siding
About Vertical Vinyl Siding
Vertical vinyl siding creates a strong architectural statement - drawing the eye upward, adding perceived height to single-storey structures, and adding contrast and depth when combined with horizontal lap siding on gable ends, dormers, and accent bands. Pro Materials supplies Kaycan's vertical vinyl siding collection: the Board and Batten Vertical, D5 Vertical, and DaVinci™ Board and Batten profiles - products spanning 8 to 17 colours with the same gauge quality and Limited Lifetime warranty as Kaycan's horizontal lines. Whether specifying full-facade vertical cladding, a two-storey accent combination, or a gable end statement, our vertical vinyl catalogue covers the application. We supply contractors and builders across Ontario and Western Canada.

Vertical Vinyl Siding Buying Guide
Key factors to evaluate when specifying vertical vinyl siding for your project.
When and How to Use Vertical Vinyl Siding
Full-facade vertical installations
suit contemporary, farmhouse, and modern barn-style homes. Full-height vertical panels eliminate horizontal shadow lines entirely for a cleaner, more graphic exterior profile. Board and batten at full height is one of the strongest current design trends in Canadian residential construction.
Accent and combination applications
are the most common use for vertical vinyl. Applying vertical siding to the upper storey or gable while horizontal lap covers the main body creates contrast, breaks up a large facade, and adds architectural character at low incremental cost. Dormer cladding, gable ends, and chimney chases in vertical board and batten are a fast way to add visual complexity to a standard elevation.
Profile options in this category:
Board and Batten Vertical is the classic vertical profile - wide flat boards with narrow raised battens covering the joints. 17 colours. Suits farmhouse, craftsman, and transitional styles.
D5 Vertical is a 5" double-reveal vertical panel with a clean, linear appearance. 12 colours. More contemporary than board and batten.
DaVinci™ Board and Batten is Kaycan's premium vertical profile with a sculptured, dimensional appearance. 8 colours. Suited to higher-end architectural applications.
Installation note
Vertical vinyl siding installs from top to bottom with starter strips at the bottom and top finishing channel. Unlike horizontal siding, vertical panels must accommodate thermal expansion in the width dimension - maintain manufacturer-specified clearances at all openings and corners.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can vertical and horizontal vinyl siding be mixed on the same house?
Yes - this is one of the most effective ways to add architectural interest to a residential exterior. The most common combination is horizontal lap on the main walls with vertical board and batten on gable ends, dormers, upper storeys, or accent bands. Both Kaycan's vertical and horizontal lines include matching accessories and shared colour palettes, making coordination straightforward.
What is the difference between board and batten and D5 vertical siding?
Board and batten replicates the look of wide wood planks with narrow raised strips covering the seams - a traditional profile with deep shadow lines and a lot of character. D5 vertical is a cleaner, more uniform panel with a 5" double-reveal that reads as more contemporary and graphic. Board and batten suits farmhouse and craftsman styles; D5 vertical suits modern and transitional homes.
Do vertical and horizontal vinyl siding from the same manufacturer match in colour?
Kaycan's vertical and horizontal siding lines share coordinated colour palettes, so matching across profiles is possible within the Kaycan system. Colour matching across different manufacturers is not guaranteed and should be verified with actual samples before specifying.
