This is the first time I tried it this way and I’m never turning back! 🙌🏼

I did it this way for a few reasons:

1. Traditionally the “board” of board and batten would be installed in between the battens. However, I’ve found that I see the best results when I can cover up my nail holes in the hardboard with my battens.

2. From experience, butting up hardboard to door trim, or battens for that matter, takes very exact cuts—that are not only straight, but also free of tear along the edge. While caulk can cover a lot of imperfections, it’s no match for the super smooth finish of hardboard and you can get yourself into trouble!

3. All the boards—the door trim, baseboards, top trim and battens—are the same thickness and I need them to sit flush. Therefore they all need to be installed ON TOP of the hardboard.

In my opinion, this is the most seamless way to install board and batten, and therefore door trim!

Would you have done it the same way? Let me know in the comments!
