Shiplap From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shiplap is a term used to describe a type of wooden board used commonly in the construction of barns, sheds, outbuildings and inexpensive or seasonal homes. It is either rough-sawn 1" or milled 3/4" pine or similarly inexpensive wood between 3" and 10" wide with a 3/8" - 1/2" rabbet on opposite sides of each end. The rabbet allows the boards to overlap in this area. Useful for its strength as a supporting member, and its ability to form a relatively tight seal when lapped,Shiplap is usually used as a type of siding for buildings that do not require extensive maintenance and must withstand cold and aggressive climates. Rough-sawn Shiplap is attached vertically in post and beam construction, usually with 6d-8d common nails, while milled versions, providing a tighter seal, are more commonly placed horizontally, more suited to two-by frame construction Small doors and shutters such as those found in barns and sheds are often constructed of Shiplap cut directly from the walls, with only thin members framing or crossing the back for support. Shiplap is also used indoors for the rough or rustic look that it creates when used as paneling or a covering for a wall or ceiling. Shiplap is often used to describe any rabbeted siding material that overlaps in a similar fashion. The grooves shown in the image at top right are not actually typical of Shiplap. There are no grooves showing in the drawing of a section of a Shiplap plank shown at right - only the rabbits. In fact, the primary purpose of Shiplap is to show a smooth surface with a minimal amount of effort and material wastage.

Novelty siding became popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The top rounded “scallop” and the shiplap edge create a very different play of light and shadow on the wall surface, thus resulting in a distinctive character. Novelty has a smooth surface texture, is ¾” thick, and available in 6”, 8” & 10” widths and lengths from 8 – 16’.
