Nickel Gap Shiplap from Reliance Timber allows you to achieve a clean, uniform look with your shiplap installation without the labor-intensive process of installing traditional shiplap. Named after the size of the groove, Nickel Gap Shiplap is designed to overlap in a way that covers the nails from each piece. Traditional shiplap has planks butting up right against each other, but nickel gap has gaps that are 1/8th an inch, which is an easy way to create uniformity between the planks. Nickel Gap Shiplap is available in various sizes, patterns, and species.
