Abstract

This thesis examines and describes methods for splicing vertical wood siding when renovating and repairing it. This is a common procedure, but it is not described to a great extent in Swedish literature. The work process and tool choices are in focus. An initial literature study was done, to see how the work is described in the building preservation literature. Active craftsmen with building preservation skills have been interviewed to get an idea of how the work is done, what an optimal joint look like, what tools are recommended and other relevant information concerning this kind of work. Their answers have then been compared with information taken from the literature. The craftsmen's methods have since been tested and compared in a practical experiment. The result of the essay was a description of a possible method for splicing vertical wood siding.
