Installation Instructions
SHIPLAP
Getting Started
ARAUCO Primed Shiplap is attractive and
v
ersatile. It can be installed in many patterns
over different substrates and it can be
configured in a variety of ways---feature
walls, wainscoting, bathtub surround and
more. It can be installed from the bottom up
or the top down. Because it is solid wood,
it can be tailored to fit the site conditions
of your home or project with common
woodworking tools.
Each project site and home is a little different. These instructions
focus mainly on feature wall applications, but they also apply to other
situations like using shiplap as wainscoting for example.
Here are some things to consider before beginning your project.
•
The transition between existing moldings and the shi
plap
• The transition between existing w alls and shiplap
• When installing over existing drywall, moving device boxes out to
be flush with the new wall surface
•
“Sliver cuts”. If there is going to be a piece cut lengthwise to fit
(“ripped”) would that look best at the top or bottom of the wall?
•
Are the top and bottom of the wall parallel with each other?
• Tool safety. Make sure you read and understand the instructions
that come with your tools. Practice with them if you’re new to
home improvement projects.
•
It is an interior product, not to be used in outside
applications.
