What is Shiplap Cladding?
Shiplap cladding is a traditional style of timber cladding with a smooth finish and an overlapping or interlocking edge detail to create a waterproof façade. What differentiates shiplap cladding profiles from others is a wide ‘scoop’ on the top edge of each board instead of a shadow gap.
Shiplap cladding is available in cedar, larch, and all other dry timber species.
