7. The life of the lining, with the proper processing of wood, is about 10 years.

Disadvantages of lining:

2. Plastic lining consists of substances that are released into the air under the influence of high temperature.

3. Wooden boarding, which is not treated with special solutions, eventually loses presentable appearance and requires replacement.

Kinds of lining

Depending on the material from which the lining is made, the following are distinguished:

• wooden lining,
• plastic lining.

Wooden lining is used for installation on both internal and external walls, such structures as:

• apartment houses,

• baths, etc.

The main advantage of installing a wooden lining -no need for preparatory wall finishing: leveling with putty or cement mortar.

For the manufacture of wooden lining boards, edged boards are used:

• ash,
• beech,
• aspen,
• spruce,
• alder,
• cedar.

Wooden lining is divided into four types:

1. Lining "extra-class" or "zero-class" - has an ideal appearance and lack of roughness on the wood.

2. "A-class" lining - for every 150 cm of this lining there is one bitch, there is also one resin pocket and several cracks.

3. The "B-class" lining has four knots for every 150 cm, several cracks and resin pockets.

4. The "C-class" paneling is distinguished by the presence of resin bags, blue spots, strips, mechanical damages. This lining has a lower cost, compared to other classes.

Plastic lining used for finishing:

• interior,
• facade buildings,
• roof overhangs,
• ceilings.

Advantages of plastic lining:

• excellent quality characteristics,
• high level of strength,
• easy assembly,
• original design and appearance,
• good sound and heat insulation properties,
• resistance to ultraviolet,
• long service life that exceeds 10 years,
• ease of care.

Plastic lining is divided into:

• panels of laminated type, which represent the structure of wood, metal, granite or marble;
• monochrome panels of different colors and shades;

Recommendations for choosing the method of fastening the lining

1. If uncertainty in the long-term use, or when possible dismantling of the lining should be secured with clamps.

2. When installing the lining in the sauna or in the bathroom, fix the lining with screws.

3. Nails will help to securely and quickly install the lining in the room with the subsequent repair.

4. Use wood screws to install the lining of domestic production.

5. The optimal way to install a lining, which will help to set the lining quality and save energy and time - fixing the boards with a stapler.

Tips for calculating plastic lining

Plastic lining is sold in separate panels, the length of which is 600 cm. To calculate the number of panels for installing the lining on the ceiling, you need to know the perimeter of the ceiling. The width of the lining is 20 cm. For example, if the length of the ceiling is 6 m and the width is 5 m, then 25 panels of lining are required.

To make a frame for fixing the lining, use a wooden beam with a cross-section of 2х3 cm. The standard length of the bar is 200 cm. The beam is nailed along the six-meter wall. The distance between the fastening of the bars is 100 cm. At 5 m of the ceiling, 6 bars are needed, but given the length of 6 meters, you need to purchase 18 bars of two meters.

To attach one bar, you need 5 screws and 5 anchors.

Recommendations on how to nail a plastic lining

Tools for work:

• hacksaw for working with wood - used for longitudinal section of lining;
• electric jigsaw - helps to make a cross-section of the lining;
• screwdriver;
• building level;
• mounting knife;
• stapler;
• hammer;
• electric drill.

Materials for work:

• screws,
• dowels,
• staples,
• skirting boards or profiles.

Consider the instructions on how to nail the lining to the ceiling:

1. Remove dust and fragile finish parts from the ceiling.

2. Using a drill, prepare the bars by drilling holes for fastening the screws.

3. Before installing the bars, they should be covered with paint or a special solution that will prolong the life of the bars.

4. Using a percussion drill, secure the structure from the bars on the ceiling. Insert the dowels and fix the bars with screws.

5. The bars should occupy one plane. At large drops of the ceiling, it is recommended to place wooden supports under the bars, so that the ceiling is level.

6. After the construction of the bar is ready, proceed to the installation of the lining.

7. Using a stapler, fix the profile or skirting board according to the construction from the wooden bars.

8. Insert the lining in the fixed skirting. Passe the side of the lining to the bar with a stapler.

9. Insert the spike part into the groove of the previous lining. Attach the lining to the framework of the timber.

10. Repeat the steps for the subsequent panels.

11. If the last panel does not match the size of the ceiling, then cut it and insert it into the skirting board.

12. After installing the plastic lining, wash the ceiling with a sponge and warm water.

How to nail wood lining

Preparation of lining for installation:

• wipe the lining before installation,
• treat boards with antiseptic, to prevent mold and microorganisms,
• leave the lining for 24 hours for complete drying,
• cover the lining with lacquer.

There are several ways that will tell how to nail the lining to the wall:

• nail the bar obliquely to the side of the longitudinal tongue;
• hammer a nail into the clip, thereby reinforcing the bar from the outside;
• on the front side of the bar, set the biased profile in which the nail should be hammered.

Kinds of wooden lining fasteners:

• horizontal,
• vertical.

Horizontal installation of wooden lining

The lining should be installed from the ceiling, and then gradually move to the floor. Such installation will not allow the accumulation of moisture or debris in the grooves of the wooden lining.

The installation of lining with the help of kleimers takes place by installing the board in a sequential order. The board is fastened to the frame with the help of nails or self-tapping screws.

Tip: To perform a high-quality installation of the lining, you should check the evenness of the wall every half a meter.

Before fixing the last board, adjust it to the hole size that you want to close. Do this with a circular saw or a hacksaw. After fixing the board, a plinth is installed.

The installation of a lining that mimics logs is done by placing the planks in the groove to the top. By cutting the panel and the hammer, the boards are tied to each other. Thus, it is possible to hide the slots and junctions.

The boards of this lining are attached to the skeletons of the frame, with the help of screws, at an angle of 45 degrees. Hats of self-tapping screws are hidden under the subsequent boards. To decorate the corner of such a lining, use is made of a processed beam. After carrying out the work, the surface of the lining is cleaned of dust, and if desired, stained.

Vertical installation of wooden lining

1. Vertical installation of the lining should be started from the corner position. On the back of the plank the groove is secured with the Kleimers.

2. The first board is installed and fixed with nails, whose hats cover the decorative corner. If the corners are missing, you should use a side cutter to get rid of the hats.

3. The lining is mounted in the same way as in the case of a horizontal installation. Consistently, the plates are fastened one after the other onto the frame.

4. The last board is nailed using nails. Then set decorative racks to improve the visual appearance.

5. When plating the ceiling with a wooden lining, work should start from the window to the opposite wall. Such mounting allows you to reduce the amount of shadow that appears between the boards of the lining.

6. For a longer time using wooden lining, it is necessary to conduct preventive treatment of the tree once every 1.5-2 years with antiseptic, fireproof and waterproof solutions.

How to nail the lining with nails

This way of installing the lining is reliable and durable. The disadvantage of installing the lining with nails is the possibility of damaging the surface of the lining with a hammer.

When installing a lining with a width of 10 cm and a height of 2.5 m, a minimum of 6 nails should be used.

To fasten the lining, start the nail in the groove of the board and, as accurately as possible, hammer into the fasteners. A driller will help to deepen the heads of nails.

This method is relevant in the event that after installing the lining will be an additional decoration of the walls of the room.
