Perfect for both traditional and contemporary designs, larch shiplap ages gracefully, developing a silver-grey patina over time.

Timber Shiplap FAQ

Shiplap is a type of timber board used for exterior and interior cladding. The boards have a special rabbeted edge that allows them to overlap, creating a tight seal that is both weather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing. This design distinguishes shiplap from other cladding types like tongue and groove or plain boards, as the overlap provides added protection and a distinctive shadow line effect.
