Siding Questions

What benefits does Shiplap offer?

Shiplap is durable, versatile, and easy to install. Because the boards fit on top of each other, installation requires little more than a hammer and saw.

Additionally, shiplap boards are easy to remove and replace compared to other siding options, and they create a beautiful, timeless aesthetic.

What species of wood is recommended for Shiplap?

At Rocky Mountain Forest Products, you can choose from a wide number of wood species to ensure you find the best siding for your next project.

Our redwood siding offers a rich texture and resists warping, shrinking, and cupping. Redwood shiplap siding has natural oils and resins which enable it to better resist rot and insect infestations.

If you’re looking for more cost-effective shiplap choices, consider our spruce, pine, and fir options. With the right oil-based stain, you can ensure that siding made from these species will stay beautiful for years.

Should you prime the back of Shiplap?

Unlike regular siding, shiplap’s seal depends a great deal on interlocking pieces. These pieces need to expand and contract in similar ways to stay strong and uniform.

To minimize warping, you’ll want to treat the back of each piece in the same way you treat the front. Priming both sides of the wood keeps out moisture that would otherwise damage your siding.
