Shiplap comes in a variety of price points. The most cost-effective form is plywood, which you can buy in sheets for an average of $30 each. However, shiplap can be a bit more expensive than drywall. If cost is an issue, consider installing shiplap on an accent wall and covering the other three walls with drywall.
In many cases, you may be able to install shiplap over drywall. It’s important to prep the wall before installing shiplap. Typically, contractors locate the wall studs and attach the shiplap boards directly to the existing drywall using construction adhesive or finishing nails. However, pros usually recommend removing the existing drywall to expose the studs for the best results. This allows for a more secure and flush installation.
Both horizontal and vertical shiplap can offer stunning visual appeal, but each type creates a different effect. Horizontal shiplap is the classic choice, traditionally helping rooms feel wider and more expansive, such as in living areas and bedrooms. By comparison, vertical shiplap can create an illusion of added height, making ceilings appear taller for a more dramatic touch. The best choice depends on your room’s architecture, design style, and personal preference.
