The interlocking profile creates a secure installation with less exposed fasteners and minimal touch-

up required. See our installation instructions and install video under our technical information

section.

Is the board smooth on the opposite side?

Timeless shiplap is painted on one side and has relief grooves on the other to prevent cupping.

Can I use Timeless shiplap on my bathroom walls?

Yes, these boards can be used on bathroom walls. We recommend you seal the boards with a wood

protector sealant to protect them from any moisture.

Can Timeless shiplap be used as a backsplash?

For projects that incur frequent moisture, a high-quality polyurethane sealer is recommended.

Can I use a brad nail gun to install shiplap?

Yes, you will want to use a brad nail gun. If you are using prepainted shiplap, start the bottom board

off with adhesive and brad nail on the shiplap lip to avoid any unnecessary touch-up on the face of

the board. If you are installing primed shiplap, you can fasten the bottom board off by brad nailing

straight into the face of the board without adhesive.

Can I install Timeless shiplap on an exterior?

Shiplap is not recommended for exterior use.

Do you need to put up drywall before you install shiplap?

Short answer, no. You can install over just the studs, but you'll want to make sure your studs line up

with each other.

How do I clean Timeless shiplap? Like most surfaces, shiplap will need periodic dusting. Consider wiping down your shiplap with a damp cloth or use a dusting brush and vacuum. Can I install Timeless shiplap around my brick fireplace? Shiplap should be installed directly onto vertically mounted wood furring strips. It is important to make sure all furring strips are properly secured and even with each other, so the finished surface is even – without waves.
