At Kaltimber, we’re passionate about bringing together sustainable craftsmanship and natural beauty — and few materials represent that harmony better than shiplap. With its clean lines, rustic character, and eco-friendly potential, shiplap continues to be a favorite among designers, architects, and homeowners who care about style and sustainability.
And because we know that you love shiplap too, it is the “promo of the month” in July so this article will tell you more about it so that you can make the quick decision needed to take advantage of it!
What Is Shiplap?
Shiplap refers to wooden boards that are milled with a rabbet (a notch) on both the top and bottom edges, allowing them to fit snugly together. Traditionally used for barn siding and shipbuilding (hence the name), shiplap has made its way indoors — becoming a go-to for feature walls, ceilings, and even cabinetry.
Why Choose Shiplap?
Clean, Classic Aesthetic: Whether used horizontally for a coastal feel or vertically for added height, shiplap offers timeless simplicity. Its subtle shadow lines add depth without overwhelming a space.
Versatile Application: Ideal for both modern and rustic interiors, shiplap works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, or even bathrooms when properly sealed.
Durability: With quality wood and proper treatment, shiplap can last for decades — making it a smart, long-term choice.
Shiplap with a Conscience: Reclaimed Wood from Kaltimber
What sets Kaltimber’s shiplap apart is our commitment to sustainability. All our shiplap boards are made from reclaimed teak and ulin, salvaged from old structures across Indonesia. By giving this wood a second life, we reduce deforestation, preserve heritage materials, and offer a product that tells a story.
Benefits of using reclaimed shiplap from Kaltimber:
🌱 Eco-Friendly: No new trees are cut down, minimizing environmental impact.
🪵 Unique Character: Weathered textures, nail marks, and natural patina make every board one-of-a-kind.
🧱 Stability: Old wood has already done its expanding and contracting, making it more dimensionally stable than new lumber.
Inspired Design, Ethically Made
Shiplap is more than a trend — it’s a versatile design solution that adds warmth and texture to any space. At Kaltimber, we take it a step further by making sure it’s sourced responsibly and crafted with care.
Whether you're designing a minimalist retreat or a tropical villa in Bali, our reclaimed shiplap brings both character and conscience to your project.
