1x8x12' Nickel Gap Shiplap

Our knotty #2 grade 1x8x12' pine Nickel Gap Shiplap reveals the natural bright yellow pine wood grain, making it a beautiful choice for your walls and ceilings. 

A variant of the common shiplap profile, Nickel Gap Shiplap is one of the most popular wood siding options available today due to its timeless natural wood appearance, its clean & straight lines, and its versatility, durability, affordability, and ease of installation. Nickel Gap Shiplap enhances the lines by adding a space between the boards that is built-into the profile shape of the boards, making installation even faster than manually spacing regular shiplap boards to get the nickel gap look.

Nickel Gap Shiplap is commonly used in farmhouse style homes and cottages, and is often painted white to brighten a room. Nickel Gap Shiplap has also seen a resurgence in popularity in modern design due to its clean, straight lines and its simple elegance.

More Information:

Pine planks are easy-to-install and require less work than drywall to install, and are also more resistant than drywall to cracking and damage. 

Nickel Gap Shiplap can be installed horizontally to make a room feel larger, or vertically to make a low ceiling seem higher. It can be installed over bare framing, or drywall, or over ugly plaster/popcorn ceilings as a coverup. Nickel Gap Shiplap is also used for making farmhouse style doors and cabinet doors. 

Kiln-dried southern yellow pine takes a finish very well, and can be clear-coated with polyurethane to maintain its natural bright yellow luster, or whitewashed. Southern Yellow pine is one of the most versatile woods in terms of how well it takes a variety of stains, paints, and finishes. The boards are planed smooth, and are unsanded and unfinished. Sanding is optional, recommended but not required. Most of the knots are tight, although there may be a loose knot (an open knot where there is a holy in the board) here and there.

16 or 18 gauge nails work fine for interior installations. Many people fill in the face nail holes by mixing some sawdust from cutting the boards with wood glue. This makes a paste that matches the color of the wood. 

These boards may be installed for outside siding/cladding provided that proper water-resistant painting, staining, or waterproofing sealing is applied.
