Shiplap vs Tongue and Groove: Which is Better?
Understanding the differences helps you make the right choice for your project:
| Feature | Shiplap | Tongue & Groove |
| Installation | Easier and quicker to install | Requires precise fitting |
| Weather Resistance | Excellent water run-off due to overlapping design | Tighter seal but may trap moisture |
| Appearance | Traditional, rustic look with visible shadow lines | Smooth, seamless finish |
| Maintenance | Individual boards easily replaced if damaged | Interlocking system |
| Flexibility | Allows natural wood expansion/contraction | Less movement tolerance |
| Cost | Generally more cost-effective | A bit more expensive due to material and labour costs |
Key Advantage: Shiplap’s overlapping lip design provides superior water resistance, making it the preferred choice for shed cladding and exterior applications where moisture protection is crucial.
Perfect for British Weather Conditions
Our premium redwood shiplap cladding is specifically chosen for the UK climate. The natural resin content in redwood provides excellent weather resistance, while the overlapping design ensures water runs off efficiently rather than penetrating your structure.
