Here’s how to create the beautiful effect of shiplap by artfully installing plywood panels to walls inside your home.
How to Install Shiplap Using Plywood:
Materials:
Plain wood paneling is not technically shiplap but makes a beautiful interior wall with the shiplap look. You can invest in real shiplap boards for your walls, or simply use plywood paneling, which is often done on home design programs. AC plywood makes a great shiplap wall, as the A side comes pre- for quicker, easier installation.
Tools and Supplies:
5 7/8-inch AC plywood Measuring tape and pencil or chalk Level Stud finder Table saw Compound miter saw or miter box Hammer and/or nail gun 2-inch finish nails Screwdriver 80-grit sanding sponge or block Fine-grain sandpaper for finishing (400 grit) 1/8-inch spacers or wooden craft/popsicle sticks Paint (for interior wall, and for shiplap planks) and brushes and/or roller
