Not enough information, said 6" minimum at joints, but does it have to end on a stud? No mention how to finish at the top. Should you not measure the wall height first and have the option of cutting your first row first so you don't end up with a small strip on top where it is most noticeable?
Could you please provide a link to the product on your website? I thought the website was terrible, it is difficult to navigate and find anything, also the find a retailer page is broken. What lengths is this available in?
Thanks for your comment. We are working on updating the website and fix any broken links. This product comes in 8' and 16' lengths. Any local Home Building Centre in your area that carries Alexandria Moulding products will have this in stock. You can also use our moulding sample to go service to get a sample of the product. we can then supply a list of local home building centres who you can purchase from.
Hi jattwhiskey604, When installing shiplap to a home any movements in the structure can cause gaps in the shiplap over time. If you do install the shiplap to a home that will be transported there is no guarantee when moving the home the shiplap will stay in place.
So my floor has a 1.5 inch drop by on a 16 ft run. It is an old house and cannot be corrected. In you cider you place the material flat on the floor. For me, by the time you get to the end you have that difference. Hiw do you suggest I cover this up with floor trim?
Measure the wall if you want a full piece on the top. Gap the 1st board so the boards on all walls are even and level to the floor. Finish with plain trim, then 3/4 to close inconsistencies.
Hi Torquemada X, When installing shiplap you can start at the bottom or top. Starting at the bottom does make it easier when you nail the pieces of shiplap to the wall to keep them from slipping.
Love the video it seems easy to do it
I'm assuming you will have to cut/trim the top board that meets with the ceiling?

Can I install this over kitchen cabinets where I will have no studs? Also, should I add adhesive to the back?
What size Brad nails would you recommend? I have 2” Brad nails, I suspect those would be overkill.
Can u use this in the bathroom walls ? Does it need special coating or water resistant coating ? Thx u
We don’t recommend using MDF products in the bathroom due to high levels of moisture. MDF tends to swell when it comes in contact with moisture.

The website is still horrific to navigate. Any search for shiplap comes up empty. I can't find anything on the site.
Can you use it on a ceiling and when will it be available in 12 feet?
would you recommend this product with tiny homes? Worried about panels coming off during transport.

what do you do for finishing corners etc? or connecting ship lap to another ship lap at an angle?
Will this work on at the interior of a manufactured home?
Thickness 1/2?

How did you paint the pre primed shiplap? I installed Lowes mdf shiplap and getting ready to paint it
Since most homes are not square, but the first piece andcope the second. It looks the same.
Where do i purchase this?

why not start at the top?

Every other video I watched shows installation from the top down. Seems dumb to me. Let gravity work FOR you not AGAINST you. Thanks!
But if you get to the top and only need 4 inches that shorter piece would look better on the bottom, no?
