Horizontal shiplap siding is a popular exterior design choice for both traditional and contemporary buildings. Shiplap refers to wooden boards that are milled with a groove on one edge and an overlapping lip on the other, allowing for a tight and weather-resistant fit when installed.
In horizontal shiplap siding, the boards are placed horizontally across the structure, with the lip of each board overlaying the one beneath it. This creates a distinctive, clean-lined pattern with shadows that add depth and texture. Often painted or stained, horizontal shiplap is appreciated for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of installation.
Horizontal Shiplap Siding is available in a variety of sizes with common overall heights of 5.5”, 7.25”, 9.25”, 11.25” (14, 18.4, 23.5, 28.6 cm), exposed heights of 5”, 6.75”, 8.75”, 10.75” (12.7, 17.1, 22.2, 27.3 cm), and depths of .75” (1.9 cm). The overlap between panels is typically .5” (1.3 cm).
