A building product is configured for attachment to a surface of a building. In one example, the building product includes a siding product including a first side and a second side. In one example, the siding product is a pultruded product. A first engagement feature is disposed on or near the first side. A second engagement feature is disposed on or near the second side. The second engagement feature is configured to selectively frictionally engage with the first engagement feature of another similar siding product such that any curvature in the siding product increases frictional engagement between the siding product and the other similar siding product. In one example, the building product includes a spacer clip for attachment of the building product to the surface of the building.

What is claimed is: 1. A building product for attachment to a surface of a building, the building product comprising: a siding product including a first side and a second side; a first engagement feature disposed on or near the first side, the first engagement feature including a slot including a bump extending into the slot; and a second engagement feature disposed on or near the second side, the second engagement feature including a tab with an enlarged portion configured to selectively frictionally engage with the bump of the first engagement feature of another similar siding product, such that wherein any curvature in the siding product increases frictional engagement between the enlarged portion of the second engagement feature of the siding product and the bump of the first engagement portion of the other similar siding product. 2. The building product of claim 1, comprising an attachment portion configured to fasten the siding product to the building. 3. The building product of claim 2, wherein the attachment portion is configured to frictionally engage with a clip configured to space the building product a distance from the surface of the building. 4. The building product of claim 1, wherein the slot is open in a direction generally toward the second side of the siding product. 5. The building product of claim 1, wherein the tab is oriented in a direction generally toward the first side of the siding product. 6. The building product of claim 1, wherein the curvature of the siding product results from attachment of the siding product with the surface of the building. 7. The building product of claim 1, wherein the curvature of the siding product results from manufacturing of the siding product. 8. The building product of claim 1, wherein the siding product comprises a pultruded product. 9. A siding system, comprising: a building product including a pultruded product having a profile defining a shape of exterior siding and configured for attachment to a surface of a building, the building product including: a first engagement feature including a slot including a bump extending into the slot; and a second engagement feature including a tab with an enlarged portion configured to selectively frictionally engage with the bump of the first engagement feature of another similar siding product, wherein any curvature in the siding product increases frictional engagement between the enlarged portion of the second engagement feature of the siding product and the bump of the first engagement portion of the other similar siding product; and a clip frictionally engageable with the building product, the clip including a spacing portion having a thickness, wherein the spacing portion is configured to space the building product a distance from the surface of the building. 10. The siding system of claim 9, wherein the building product includes an attachment portion configured to fasten the building product to the building. 11. The siding system of claim 10, wherein the clip is configured to frictionally engage with the attachment portion. 12. The siding system of claim 9, wherein the first engagement feature is disposed on or near a first side of the building product, and the second engagement feature is disposed on or near a second side of the building product. 13. The siding system of claim 12, wherein the slot is open in a direction generally toward the second side of the building product. 14. The siding system of claim 12, wherein the tab is oriented in a direction generally toward the first side of the building product. 15. The siding system of claim 9, wherein the curvature of the building product results from attachment of the building product with the surface of the building. 16. The siding system of claim 9, wherein the curvature of the building product results from manufacturing of the building product. 17. The siding system of claim 9, wherein the clip includes: a first leg; a second leg coupled with the first leg to form a U-shape, the first and second legs being configured to accommodate a portion of the building product therebetween for frictional engagement therewith. 18. The siding system of claim 9, comprising a corner component attachable at a corner of the building, the corner component configured to engage with at least one of the building and the building products at the corner, the corner component configured to facilitate alignment of the building products on either side of the corner. 19. A method, comprising: arranging at least one spacer clip along a first building product; fastening the first building product to a surface of a building; arranging at least one spacer clip along a second building product; mating a joint member of the second building product with a joint member of the first building product, wherein the joint member of the first building product includes a slot including a bump extending into the slot, and the joint member of the second building product includes a tab with an enlarged portion configured to selectively frictionally engage with the bump of the joint member of the first building product, wherein any curvature in the first or second building product increases frictional engagement between the enlarged portion of the joint member of the second building product and the bump of the first building product; and fastening the second building product to the surface of the building. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein arranging includes sliding the at least one spacer clip along a portion of the first or second building product to correspond with a frame of the building. 21. A method, comprising: fastening a first building product to a surface of a building; fastening a second building product to the surface of the building with a joint member of the second building product mating with a joint member of the first building product, wherein the joint member of the first building product includes a slot including a bump extending into the slot, and the joint member of the second building product includes a tab with an enlarged portion configured to selectively frictionally engage with the bump of the joint member of the first building product, wherein any curvature in the first or second building product increases frictional engagement between the enlarged portion of the joint member of the second building product and the bump of the first building product. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein curvature of the first or second building product results from attachment of the first or second building product with the surface of the building. 23. The method of claim 21, wherein curvature of the first or second building product results from manufacturing of the first or second building product.
