How To Install Ship Lap Paneling For Ceilings' title='How To Install Ship Lap Paneling For Ceilings' />No Joanna, Thats Not Shiplap. My wife and I like most all old home owners are fans of a lot of the restoration themed DIY shows these days. Rehab Addict, Barnyard Builders, American Pickers and of course Fixer Upper. Their designs and passion to keep original elements of old houses is so rare in the renovation game that I cant help but root for them to succeed. One of my favorite shows is definitely Fixer Upper. Partly because Im from Texas and partly because Joanna and Chip are such a trip to watch. They even have a new book out telling all about their story. Her designs are almost always stunning, but she does have a real addiction to what she calls shiplap. The only problem is that rarely is the wood she calls shiplap actually shiplap Ive noticed more of my clients recently asking about shiplap, if their house has it, or can they incorporate it somehow. And I always have to ask Do you watch Fixer UpperIf the answer comes back yes which it usually does then my next question is usually, Do you want actual shiplap or do you just want wood paneling This query often brings a cock of the head and a quizzical look.

This is usually what Joanna calls shiplap and where I start to yell at the TV. Shiplap is not plain wooden boards nailed on a wall. Often in old houses these boards can be found on the exterior of the framing just beneath the siding. Today we frame a house and then install plywood sheathing to tighten the frame and help square everything up prior to putting on the siding and interior wall coverings. In the days before plywood we used 16 or 18 boards sometimes installed on a diagonal or horizontally as both sheathing and subfloor. These boards can be salvaged and reused as paneling or other creative design uses since they can add a lot of rich character, but they are not shiplap. Its Not Tongue Groove. Sadly its not this one either. Tongue and groove boards are used in all different places in old homes. Flooring is of course the most common but there is a lot of siding that is tongue and groove as well.

When they are installed side by side they fit together nice and snug which strengthens the floor or siding. What IS Shiplap True shiplap. Shiplap, like tongue and groove, has a special rabbet or notch cut on the edges of the board. These rabbets allow the boards, when installed horizontally, to self space themselves and keep water from getting behind them because they fit so perfectly. Shiplap is mostly found in siding designs because of the need for consistent spacing and water tightness but it can be found in other places. The lapped joint is one of the simplest you can use to accomplish the spacing and water stopping needs which is why shiplap was and is so popular. Once installed shiplap can look just like regular wood boards because the rabbets are hidden, so yes, it can be hard to tell it apart from regular sheathing boards to the untrained eye, but it is different. There are various profiles of siding available in shiplap too. Sometimes its just flat shiplap boards and other times you can find profiles like Novelty Drop, Dolly Varden, or the poorly named but still attractive 1. For the purist, shiplap is the original flat profile with a rabbet on top and bottom, but I guess if Mrs. Joanna Gaines keeps making us smile with her clever designs and trash talking of Chip then we can let it slide that she calls a few more things shiplap than actually are shiplap. As long as she doesnt start proclaiming that they come from the shiplap tree Im still a fan.
