Etymology

The term 'sheaving' originates from the verb 'to sheath', which has its roots in Old English 'sceathian', meaning to cover or conceal. The concept of sheaving evolved in various building practices throughout history, particularly as construction materials and techniques developed. In modern usage, what was once primarily a woodworking term has expanded to describe various materials and methods used in construction for externals and insulation. By the 16th century, sheathing became an established term within carpentry and architecture, denoting the protective layer applied to building exteriors to enhance stability and insulation. The versatility of sheaving materials has grown, and today it encompasses a broad range of applications in residential and commercial construction.
