etting Started
ARAUCO Primed Shiplap is attractive and
versatile. It can be installed in many patterns
over different substrates and it can be
configured in a variety of ways---feature
walls, wainscoting and more. It can be
installed from the bottom up or the top
down. Because it is solid wood, it can be
tailored to fit the site conditions of your
home or project with common
woodworking tools.
Each project site and home is a little different. These instructions
focus mainly on feature wall applications, but they also apply to other
situations like using shiplap as wainscoting for example.
Here are some things to consider before beginning your project.
•
The transition between existing moldings and the shiplap
• The transition between existing w alls and shiplap
• When installing over existing drywall, moving device boxes out to
be flush with the new wall surface
•
“Sliver cuts”. If there is going to be a piece cut lengthwise to fit
(“ripped”) would that look best at the top or bottom of the wall?
•
Are the top and bottom of the wall parallel with each other?
• Tool safety. Make sure you read and understand the instructions
that come with your tools. Practice with them if you’re new to
home improvement projects.
•
It is an interior product, not to be used in outside applications.
Coverage:
Each 8-foot (96-inches) long 5-1/4” wide piece of ARAUCO Primed
Shiplap covers approximately 3-square feet. For a single wall,
multiply the height by the width to get the total square footage of the
area to be covered. Add approximately 10% for “waste”.
