Ship Lap Siding is a type of Drop Lap siding with a tight "flush joint" profile. It is similar to tongue and groove but with a single over lap - usually 1/2" in depth but can be more or less depending on the width of the board 6", 8", 10" or the shiplap profile selected.
Shiplap is known for its ability to form a tight seal while allowing the wood siding to "breath" with changes in season and humidity.
Ship-lap siding can be installed horizontally or vertically with the edge of one board having a recessed area which receives the shaped top edge of the board next to or below it, so as to exclude water during rainfall. In vertical applications, be sure to bevel cut the ends and install the shiplap siding so water is directed to the outside.
