UK Shiplap shape difference
I'm assuming that the combination of the term 'shiplap' and the shape described is a US thing as the term 'shiplap' in the UK is used to describe a board with a groove at the bottom and a shaped top ending in a tongue, which, when assembled does not produce a smooth surface. A typical example can be seen here. Paypwip (talk) 18:00, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Architecture & Construction" by Broto i Comerma" acording to "visual dictionary of Architecture & Construction" by Broto i Comerma" page125 -127 shiplap - vertical siding of wooden boards with rabated edges so that the joints overlap. And the sideing on the picture in wikipedia is described as "drop siding"= A type of weatherproof clapboard siding vertical with toung and groove — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.14.21 (talk) 20:19, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Shiplap vs Clapboard
What is the difference between a shiplap and a clapboard (I'm not a native speaker) ? I can see that the clapboard article has a link to shiplap in the "See also" section but there is no mention of clapboard in this article. Shouldn't it be added ? Thank you, Jona (talk) 20:28, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
