What is T&G Shiplap?

T&G Shiplap, or Tongue and Groove Shiplap, is a type of cladding characterised by its interlocking design. Each board has a groove (the “tongue”) on one edge and a corresponding groove (the “groove”) on the other, allowing them to fit together seamlessly.
This design provides a tight, weatherproof seal, making T&G Shiplap ideal for both internal and external use. At Topwood Timber, our T&G Shiplap boards are tanalised, ensuring they are treated to resist rot, decay, and insect damage, thereby enhancing their durability and longevity.

Whether you’re aiming to create a traditional beach house look or a modern, minimalist design, T&G Shiplap can seamlessly fit into various styles, making it a versatile choice for any project.
Durability and Weather Resistance
The tanalised treatment of our T&G Shiplap boards at Topwood Timber ensures that they are highly resistant to the elements.
