Clapboard or clabbard , also called bevel siding , lap siding , and weatherboard , with regional variations in the definition of these terms, siding the wooden buildings in the form of horizontal boards, often overlapping.

Definisi
Clapboard in modern use (American English) is a word for the long, thin board used to cover walls and (formerly) the roof of a building. Also historically called clawboards and cloboards .
Older meanings of small walled boards, pieces of oak imported from Germany for use as barrel sticks, and its name is a translation of part of the Middle Dutch klapholt and is associated with the German Klappholz .

Type
Riven
Clapboards were originally made radially with triangular or "feather-eyed" parts, attaching thin sides upward and overlapping thickness over thin to release water.
Radial saw
Then, the boards were sawed radially in a kind of sawmill called clapboard mill , which produces vertical grains applauded. The more common board used in New England is the vertical fiberboard. Depending on the log diameter, the pieces are made from 4 ½ "to 6Ã,½" away along the full length of the log. Each time the log is changed for the next piece, it is rotated 5/8 "until it has changed 360  ° This gives a radial sawn that has correct tapered saw and vertical grains.
Flat-sawn
Flat-grains clapping cut off tangent to the tree's annual growth ring. Because the technique is common in most of the British Isles, this technique is carried by immigrants to their colonies in America and in Australia and New Zealand. More flat sawnwood cups and do not hold paint and radial sawn timber.
Chamferboard
Chamferboards is an Australian form of weatherboarding using tongue and groove connections to connect boards together to provide a flatter external appearance than ordinary slanted weather boards.
Finger jointed
Some modern clapboards consist of shredded wood pieces of jointed fingers along with adhesives.
Wood type
In North America a boarded wall is historically made of oak, pine and cypress trees. Modern clapboards are available in red and pine cedar.
In some areas, blackboards are traditionally left as raw wood, relying on good air circulation and use of 'semi-hardwood' to keep the board from decaying. This board eventually becomes gray because the tannins are washed out of wood. Recently clapboard has been coated or painted - traditionally black or white because of minerals or pigments that occur locally. In modern clapboard these colors remain popular, but with a much wider variation due to chemical pigments and stains.
Board-walled houses can be found in most of the British Isles, and these styles may be part of all traditional building types, from cottages to windmills, shops to workshops, and many others.
In New Zealand, the walled house dominated the building before 1960. Boarded walls, with corrugated iron roofs, were found to be cost-effective building styles. After the great earthquakes of 1855 and 1931, wooden buildings were considered less susceptible to damage. Clapboard is always referred to as a 'weatherboard' in New Zealand.
Newer and cheaper designs often mimic the construction of boards as "coatings" made of vinyl (uPVC), aluminum, cement fibers, or other man-made materials.
