Shiplap Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Number of Shiplap Boards ( $SL$ ):

$SL = \frac{TA}{SLA}$

Where:

$SL$ is the number of shiplap boards
$TA$ is the total area of the wall (ft²)
$SLA$ is the total area of the shiplap (ft²)

What is Shiplap?

A shiplap is a group of boards that are used for covering walls and roofs, most often used for cladding. It provides a rustic and charming look to interiors and exteriors.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Area of the Wall ( $TA$ ) = 200 ft²
Total Area of the Shiplap ( $SLA$ ) = 10 ft²

Using the formula:

$SL = \frac{200}{10} = 20$

The Number of Shiplap Boards needed is 20.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Area of the Wall ( $TA$ ) = 150 ft²
Total Area of the Shiplap ( $SLA$ ) = 8 ft²

Using the formula:

$SL = \frac{150}{8} = 18.75 \approx 19$

The Number of Shiplap Boards needed is 19 (rounded up).
