Beaded, Shiplap, and Nickle Gap Planking for
Sot/Ceilings
Conceal Beaded, #2352 Beaded, Shiplap/Nickle Gap
and flat sheet material can all be used for soffit and ceiling
applications. It is however, very important to review the
product specific guide lines below when choosing which
products fits your application.
General Guidelines
• None of these products are to be used in load bearing
applications.
• Extra framing may need to be added to support material
beyond span limitations. 2X (1 1/2” thick) wood is
recommend for the additional framing.
• If a seam is necessary within a 12’ run, a shiplap is
preferred to help conceal any shrinkage.
• Do not seam two panels directly to each other over 12’.
Runs longer than 12’ must either be full pieces (up to 16’)
or an expansion joint (rabbit or T-Mould) be used to allow
for the expansion and contraction of the planking through
temperature changes (pgs. 23, 24).
• Venting must be added to soffits where applicable. Check
with local building codes for requirements.
#2352 3/8” Beaded Planking
• Span no more than 12” between fasteners.
• #2352 must also be glued to the framing/substrate.
• Only run #2352 perpendicular to the wall.
Conceal Beaded or Shiplap/Nickle Gap Planking
• Span no more than 12” between fasteners.
• No glue required when fastened with screws.
• Glue required when fastening with nails or staples.
• Should be run perpendicular to the structure whenever
possible to result in the shortest pieces of material (pg. 23,
figure1).
