Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between shiplap and tongue-and-groove boards? Shiplap boards feature overlapping rabbet joints along the edges that rest on top of one another, creating a distinct shadow line. Tongue-and-groove boards physically interlock together with a protruding tongue fitting inside an opposing groove.
- How do you calculate face coverage for a 1x6 shiplap board? Because shiplap edges overlap, a nominal 6-inch wide board provides roughly 5 inches of exposed face coverage. Always add a 10% waste and overlap margin to your square footage calculations when ordering.
- Should shiplap pine be acclimated before installation? Yes, it is highly recommended to store your pine boards inside the room where they will be installed for 72 hours. This allows the lumber to adjust to the home's humidity levels, preventing shrinkage or expanding after installation.
