What Is Shiplap

Shiplap boards have a rabbeted profile that creates a crisp horizontal or vertical line when installed. The result is a wall with depth and character that fits farmhouse and modern interiors.

Where Shiplap Shines

• Accent walls behind media units and beds

• Full room cladding for cottages and cabins

• Ceilings and soffits that need texture

• Restaurant and retail interiors that want warmth

Planning Your Order

Measure the wall area, add at least ten percent for offcuts, and confirm the direction of installation. Ask for current lengths and bundle counts so seams line up cleanly.

Installation Tips

Acclimate the boards in the space, fasten to studs or furring, leave a small gap for movement, and finish on all faces for best stability. Caulk and touch up after install for a seamless look.

Finishing Ideas

• Clear or light stain to highlight grain

• Painted white or soft neutrals for a bright room

• Two tone walls for modern contrast
