Can ShipLap be installed on fireplace walls?

Can ShipLap be installed directly to the studs and skip the drywall step?


Yes, with our shiplap edge, the surface behind the planks will not peek through, however certain municipalities still require drywall in order to meet local building codes.

Can ShipLap be installed directly over my drywall?


Yes, but our ShipLap is 3/4 in thick, so you need to take into consideration your interior window and door trim so as not to lose the shadow line if it has thin reveal. Installation instructions can be found in the Installation Guide tab above, with nailing directly into studs as the recommended installation.

Is it normal for natural wood to have color differences or variations from board to board or within the same plank?


This grade of natural pine contains characteristics such as knots, splits, wane, and modest amounts of twisting, bowing and cupping. Color variation is common, and may be more noticeable around knots and heartwood. Some knot bleed, tannin bleed, color change and patina is common with finished wood products. Any characteristic that is unacceptable for your application should be cut from the piece prior to installing.

square footage to cover + 10% for waste/trim ÷ coverage per board

We were going to repaint our basement when we saw your Shiplap at Dillman/Upton. We decided on the Shiplap in the “cloud” color on the three long walls and our basement turned out awesome. The texture is so warm and natural!  It was pricey and a lot of work to install (compared to painting), but now we all watch movies and sports and hang out there.
