Which side of the board should be in?

[abel48]

Which side of the board should face the wall when boarding with cladding? And should the upper and lower cladding be turned in the same direction?

Best regards, Anders

The planed side inward and the sawn outward. If you mean the cover panel, this applies to both the bottom and the cover boards.

The boards have only sawn sides, none are planed.
They are sawn privately.

If it is cladding panels to be installed, the boards are usually alternated with every other heart side facing inward and every other heart side facing outward so they press against each other when the warp bends. However, this does not apply to planed timber.

A tip is also to wait for the correct fiber direction, so that the water doesn't "run into" the wood. Perhaps a bit advanced, but it's usually "hairier" boards that you saw yourself than the bought ones (more or less dry-split).

the reason the boards are planed "hippahappa" is that they first plane both sides of a thick board and then split it into two...

Correct!!
If you buy from a lumberyard you'll get every other "correct" but if you buy like I do "bonnsågat" (whole board sawn) then the core side should be facing out and the grain direction downwards; it’s the cheapest/best combination.......
Ps prime all around and it will be foolproof ds.

Thank you for all the help.
I turned them like this, core in on the underlay and core out on the overlay. This according to a carpenter book I bought.
I will turn the grain direction downwards.

Best regards, Anders

If you think that the annual rings are trying to "straighten out," then you've turned the panel boards just right!

I have also been told that the core side should be inward, my dad's house which was built 20 years ago has all the exterior paneling facing the wrong way and now the paneling needs to be replaced...

I believe the reason the core side should be inward is that the boards are somewhat concave...

I've been taught that the center of the log should be inward, but when I look at store-bought timber that is planed on one side, this is usually not taken into account at all. It's planed a bit haphazardly on different sides. Should this be interpreted as it doesn't really matter?

 

[John77]

If it wasn't outward... (confused) anyway, the boards should be bent in such a way that moisture doesn't get under the edges.

I've also been told that the heartwood side should be inward, my dad's house which was built 20 years ago has all the exterior panel facing the wrong way and now the panel has to be replaced....

I think the reason the heartwood side should be inward is that the boards are somewhat concave...

Do you mean you should prime both the front and back sides???

From what I’ve learned, that is not recommended.

I used demidekk visir, and "my" painter with 35 years of experience recommended this!
