My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How do you protect the Shiplap from warping or mildew in a bath?

8 years ago
We are renovating a bath and would love to use shiplap. My husband is concerned about moisture damaging the shiplap.

    Hi Philbint,

    We haven’t experienced any issues with installing 3/4” ship lap around the perimeter of the bathroom. We just prime and paint it. The ship lap boards get nailed into the studs and also actually nest into each other and prevent movement. All of our bathrooms are outfitted with proper venting exhaust fans which probably helps. I wouldn’t install it inside the shower but I think it’s fine around the perimeter. Good luck !
