Is the lime tree lining more popular than others?

For some reason, it so happened that the paneling is perceived by many as purely material for the wall covering of a sauna or a sauna. However, this idea of ​​this material is incorrect, since the upholstery of wood looks great both in living quarters and in office buildings. However, if you want to trim the steam room, why not, the lime-leaf lining is as if specially created for this.

Low resin content, pleasant aroma, delicate beige tones or coffee, if it is Caucasian linden - all these become the factors on which the popularity of lime carving in carpenters rests. You can find even a budget option, the so-called "rusticle" - this sort of a special kind, the material is made from the core of the trunk, resulting in a darker lining, which is sold at lower prices, despite the fact that its characteristics are not inferior to the top-notch.

But the high quality of the linden does not make it irreplaceable, because everything depends on the choice of this or that grade, which means, in the number of knots and other defects per running meter.

If you want a perfectly smooth lime strip with a clean surface, you need an extra lining, but be prepared to spend a lot of money, or you have to be content with the knotted skin.

Other breeds, however, also have their drawbacks, and knots are present on the surface of any wood. Therefore, carpenters distribute different breeds in the following way: for residential premises - asylum aspen, less often larch, for banyo-lime or aspen, if cedar, then northern( less tarry) is preferable.

Lining pine - universal finishing material

Lumber can be expensive and not very, it is not uncommon and something average, when quality material can be bought at a very low price. This applies also to the lining of the pine, which is widely used both for facing the premises in the house and for covering the bath. The resininess of this wood is quite large, although it is smaller than that of cedar growing in the south.

It is thanks to the resin content that the pine perfectly resists the fungus and the effect of dampness, that is, this tree species has its own, natural antiseptic impregnation .Being at the boundary of different temperatures, for example, in the steam room of the bath, where the internal temperature differs sharply from the outside, the pine does not deform and stabilizes the temperature difference in its structure.

As already mentioned, where pine is used, it is not always appropriate to use a cedar lining, because of the high resinity of the cedar, but with regard to the texture of the wood and the beauty of the different shades of pink, it is the cedar upholstery of the walls that has a distinct advantage over the pine.

In the rest both trees are similar in their characteristics - an astounding aroma, antiseptic properties, ease of processing, quality and nobility of the surface. However, while pine from the long exposure to humidity turns blue, the cedar retains its color under any conditions. Here are just the prices of cedar materials rather bite.

Almost eternal lining of larch

There are species of wood that exceed the oak in strength, there are also those that are not inferior to it in almost all characteristics, among the latter - larch, although in some cases it is certainly worse. After all, not for nothing, when there is a choice, masters prefer the oak tree. However, this applies only to large-sized materials, such as logs or timber. The fact is that for facing, the oak is practically not used, because its gray texture on a small scale loses its expressiveness.

Given the fact that it also tends to crack, the lining of such wood will not come out under any circumstances. Another thing lenovagonka from larch, which does not rot and is not attacked by wood dwellers, is not afraid of dampness and all this thanks to its own antiseptic properties( it's all about resin).

Larch is denser than pine, more than 30%, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage, because high density means similar thermal conductivity, but also considerable strength.

If we talk about antiseptics and treatment in general, then even worse in this respect is the aspen yarn, which practically does not have immunity to numerous diseases peculiar to wood. Yes, there is no doubt that aspen in regard to abrasion is no worse than oak, but it is devoid of pleasant aromas, such as cedar and pine( although it does not have the unpleasant odor accompanying wood from Abashi's palm tree), its texture is also unremarkable.

Without special impregnations, aspen will quickly become unusable, and antiseptics are not always able to protect it from various negative external factors, such as fungus, dampness and insects.
