How is reverse board and batten siding attached?

• A. on both sides
• B. to the furring strips
• C. with powder coated nails
• D. in 4 inch increments

Answer: (B)

The boards are fastened to furring strips. Furring strips are thin battens attached to the wall to create a flat backing and a small air gap, and the siding boards are nailed to those strips. This method gives a clean, uniform reveal and allows for movement and moisture drainage, which is essential for this type of siding. Attaching directly to the wall or relying on nail type or spacing alone wouldn’t describe the actual attachment approach.
