Wooden lining - the basic whims of the
material The use of lining for finishing works has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include, first of all, that wood is an environmentally friendly material, which creates a favorable climate in the room. Treated with the use of modern technology, it becomes moisture resistant and durable, which prolongs the period of its operation.
It has quite a lot of color options and an attractive appearance that will create a cozy atmosphere in the room. Wooden lining, the dimensions of which are standardized, has one more inherent advantage - the ease of installation, because it does not require the preparation or leveling of the walls.
The main disadvantage of a wooden lining is its light flammability, therefore before installation it is necessary to treat it with a special fire-fighting compound. Also, it does not tolerate temperature changes and the biological effects of bacteria and fungi.
We create the necessary auxiliary structures for mounting
Before starting work, it is necessary that the board is dried and acclimatized. Before you cover the wooden lining with a special antiseptic, sort it out, because the lot often comes across defective slats. If it is required, immediately it is necessary to lay all communications( electricity, telephone) and make sure of their operability.
Mounting the wooden paneling with your own hands is quite simple. First of all, you need to determine the type of installation: horizontally, vertically or diagonally. If the surface that you plan to sew, wooden and has a flat base, the lining can be attached directly to it. But in most cases, first you need to assemble the support frame.
For the upholstery of walls made of concrete or brick by wooden lining, the following tools will be needed: a perforator, a building level or a plumb, an electric drill, a hacksaw, a hammer, a construction stapler with staples.
For the battens, you will need wooden blocks that are fastened to the entire surface of the skin with a step of 50 to 90 cm. If the surface is flat, the bars can be nailed or glued to the wall, but if not - use adjustable suspensions or wooden wedges for lining.
It is necessary that all elements of the skeleton are in the same plane and are in the same level. The carcass bars must be perpendicular to the laths of the lining during installation.
Wooden lining - self-assembly
After installing the battens it is possible to do thermal insulation if necessary. Next, proceed to the main work with the lining. In the horizontal direction of the rails, the can be installed either from the ceiling to the floor, or vice versa, with the vertical mounting - the installation is from the corner. The first panel is fixed most carefully.
There are several ways to fix the panels. Fasteners can be made with galvanized nails, which are hammered in the center of the board, closer to the groove. With the help of a drill or a head, the nail head is drowned. Fixing boards sometimes do and self-tapping. For this, a hole must be drilled in the panel along the diameter of the self-tapping screw, and after it is screwed in, a dowel is inserted. Also, the board can be secured with a stapler. Staples are driven into the stud at an angle.
Consistently, a board at the board, the entire surface is covered. To hide the edge on the inner and outer corners, they can be glued on special decorative corners. Before painting the wooden lining, it must be cleaned of chips and wood dust. When painting or varnishing panels should avoid the appearance of streaks.
