What are the different types of exterior?

Different types of exterior refer to different materials, styles, and finishes used on outside of houses and buildings, as well as types of exterior in general. For houses, types of exterior siding include brick exterior, stone exterior, natural stone veneer, manufactured stone, vinyl siding, fiber cement siding like James Hardie, wood siding such as cedar, pine, or engineered wood, stucco exterior, metal siding like aluminum or steel, concrete block, and mixed material exteriors combining brick and siding. Types of exterior architectural styles include modern exterior with clean lines and large windows, traditional exterior with classic details, colonial exterior with symmetry, farmhouse exterior with board and batten, craftsman exterior with tapered columns and stone, Mediterranean exterior with stucco and tile roof, and industrial exterior with metal and exposed structure. For cars, types of exterior include different paint finishes like solid, metallic, pearl, matte, and chrome. For buildings, types of exterior include curtain wall, facade, and envelope systems. So types of exterior can mean material types like brick versus vinyl, style types like modern versus traditional, and finish types like matte versus glossy, all describing outer covering and look of structure.
