Is Shiplap Worth It In The Long Term?

If we attempt to break down the definition of this type of wood, we can define it by its two parts: “ship” and “lap”.

Shiplap lumber does not necessarily have even gaps between its joints, rather it possesses an overlapping “rabbet” joint that bonds two different pieces of blocks on a 90-degree angle. The primary purpose of this design is to make the lumber water-resistant and airtight so that it can last for a longer period without showing wear and tear. This post will discuss a few characteristics of shiplap that will help the average homeowner decide whether or not this is the best choice for them.
