What dimension is most common for horizontal paneling?

[eestere]

I'm having a hard time deciding and appreciate all the help I can get!

We have a 1930s house in a functionalist style. The facade is white plaster.
We were thinking of covering one wall with horizontal double-batten paneling.
Our dilemma is the dimensions.

The choice is between 220x95 and 220x120.

Which dimension should we choose??

(PS: I know that tastes are divided, but what is most common on modern houses?)

Should double-bevel siding really be used as horizontal siding? Norwegian siding or regular ship-lapped siding is probably the most common and allows water to run off. I imagine that horizontal double-bevel siding collects water in the grooves and would quickly deteriorate.

Good point.
However, I think "modern" houses don't have fjällpanel?
Fjällpanel looks a bit livelier but the houses I have seen look quite stiff and therefore I imagine it's not fjällpanel...

When lying, one should have single-phase and not double-phase as mentioned earlier. I assume by dimensions you mean 22*95 or 22*120. Personally, I prefer 22*120 since 95 tends to look very "striped" if it's a slightly larger area.

Should one really use double sloped panel as horizontal paneling? Lap panel or regular beveled paneling is the most common and allows water to run off.

Without intending to hijack the thread from the original poster, I want to add that I have a house with slightly wider horizontal double sloped paneling in 28x175 and 22x145 on different sides. This was installed in the 1930s on an older house, thus not a modernist style. Now, large portions need replacing due to what I've interpreted as nonexistent maintenance over many years, but whether the drainage was really that poor, I don't know, considering it's worked this long; two walls are still in good condition. Are there any additional tips for alternatives for me, the original poster, and others that don't deviate too much in appearance from the double sloped paneling?

When positioned horizontally, you should use single-phase and not double-phase as previously mentioned. I assume you mean dimensions 22*95 or 22*120. Personally, I prefer 22*120 as 95 tends to look very "striped" if it's a somewhat larger area.

What is the reason for single-phase and not double-phase?
Indeed, I mean 22*95 vs 22*120. Our wall is 4.6*2.7m, without windows and doors.

I was looking around a bit yesterday. Several newly built houses had 22*95 vertically and 22*120 horizontally. The vertical was double-phase but the horizontal (I don't remember exactly (though it was yesterday)) but I think also double-phase. The dimensions are difficult to determine from a distance but the vertical was narrower than the horizontal...
