Siding Shingles
Siding shingles are installed overlapping each other and offsetting different layers. It is most common to see shingles made from wood siding, although with today's technology there are other synthetic products that are made in shingles as well. Special attention should be paid to the installation of shingles on outside corners to eliminate water infiltration where one row meets another.
Siding shingles are applied to either the house sheathing or to wooden strips which cross the wall studs of the home.
