Each board of siding features a groove along its entire bottom and a tongue along its entire top. This upper tongue serves as a solid foundation for the bottom groove on the board installed above it. This innovative tongue & groove system guarantees a secure fit along the entire top and bottom lengths of every board.

The ends of our Maibec em+™ boards also feature complementing profiles that allow siding to interlock horizontally as well.
