Since Kebony introduced the Click-in Cladding System (CCS) in 2023, it’s been revolutionizing exterior design by combining innovative hidden fasteners and the only Dually modified™ wood. But, many of you didn’t realize we offer two different board sizes: the traditional 1×6 shiplap and an exclusive 1×8 shiplap profile.
So, which size is the right fit for your project? Let’s dive into the key differences and advantages of each:
1×8 Cladding Board: The One-of-a-Kind Option
- Striking Aesthetic: The wider profile and more pronounced shadow lines make a statement, adding depth and visual interest to your exterior.
- Efficient Installation: Cover more surface area with fewer boards, potentially saving on installation time and labor costs.
- Exclusive Profile: Kebony is currently the ONLY wood cladding offering a 1×8 shiplap board that can be securely hidden fastened.
1×6 Cladding Board: The Classic Option
- Timeless Appeal: Achieve a more traditional aesthetic with narrower boards, perfect for complementing classic architectural styles.
- Less weight per Board: Smaller boards mean less weight when installing, so if you’re a DIYer or working with a small crew they may be helpful.

- Exceptional Durability: Kebony Dually modified™ wood stands up to the elements, resisting rot, decay, and insect damage with a warranty up to 30 years.
- Sustainable Choice: Contribute to a healthier planet by choosing Kebony, a sustainable alternative to tropical hardwoods.
- In-stock and ready to install: Avoid milling lead times and inconsistencies and get a product that’s off the shelf at your local retailer.
