Thanks for the interest. The space between the boards is 1/8" which allows for movement in the real wood and gives a distinct impression that the gap was intentional. We use the ship lap profile rather than the t&g profile as it provides more depth (1/2 of board thickness) for a deeper reveal from the face. With t&g (and typical material thickness of 3/4") the depth would only be approximately 1/4" as to the 3/8" for ship lap. Plus, the tongue on ship lap tends to be rounded and usually not more than 1/4"-5/16" in projection - this would not allow for successful 1/8" spacing between the boards. Jonathan Raith Inc. The walls are clad with a 1x8" wood ship lap siding with a 1/8" gap between each board. Poplar wood
