SHIPLAP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Watch installation video prior to installation at ufpEDGE.com/Timeless
Allow the wood to acclimate for several days prior to installation in the room in which it will be installed. Variances in temperature and moisture between the storage and application areas have a negative effect on the finished appearance.
Installing Trim (Optional)
Prior to installation, determine if 1×4 Timeless trim boards will be purchased
and installed to frame your project. Timeless trim can be installed before or
after shiplap installation, depending on the desired look (refer to
installation video link above). If installing trim, fasten each board by
applying a bead of fast grab construction adhesive and drive 16-gauge nails
into the face. Each fastener should penetrate into a wall stud or wood furring
strip.
Installing Interlocking Shiplap
Fasten shiplap directly to the wall framing when installing in a horizontal
orientation. Always start horizontal installation at the bottom of a wall or
the edge of a ceiling. The interlocking profile allows for each board to fit
snuggly into each other. For applications where vertical orientation is
desired, full-length furring strips must be installed 24 inches on center when
fastening shiplap. Fasten shiplap using standard or painted trim nails (15 or
16 gauge). Fastener length should be long enough for 1 1/4”-1 1/2” of
penetration into solid wood. Some boards may need to be trimmed lengthwise to
fit the final dimension of your wall or ceiling. Use a table saw or circular
saw to trim lengthwise. With prepainted shiplap, apply a bead of fast grab
adhesive to the bottom of the board. Drive fastener through the top flange of
the board and into a stud to secure. This will minimize the number of nail
holes that need to be filled.
When installing shiplap over plaster or hardboard, the walls need to be in moderately good condition. Construction adhesive is usually the easiest and fastest way to install wood shiplap over drywall, plaster, hardboard and even old shiplap. When applying adhesive, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. To make sure you have a tight joint when applying adhesive to drywall or plaster, use trim nails to hold the shiplap in place while the adhesive sets. Apply trim nails in the shiplap tongue every 24 inches.
Touch up and cleaning
For touch up paint information and supplies, visit ufpEDGE.com/timeless. Touch up paint is intended to be applied sparingly to small imperfections. Test touch up paint to achieve desired result. Timeless products go through a proprietary color formulation process, therefore an exact paint match is not guaranteed. To clean, apply mild soap and water to smooth cloth and wipe surface.
DO NOT NAIL THROUGH
OVERLAPPING PIECES
Install shiplap horizontally or vertically. For horizontal applications, start with the bottom course and work up with overlap pointing downward. Do not nail through overlaps. Shiplap siding is tight- fitting, so butt the courses up close.
