Wall cladding inside a wooden house. Sheathing the walls of a wooden house: options, technology

The abundance of composite building materials does not reduce the popularity of using natural wood for the construction of country houses for permanent residence. Eco-friendly and aesthetic, this material will give the owners a comfortable microclimate, and professional processing and original design of the interior decoration of a country house will create an unusual and cozy living space.

A new wooden frame looks aesthetically pleasing and does not need facing materials

Finishing work in houses made of natural wood is carried out strictly after the completion of the shrinkage process of the building, which can take from 2 to 5 years, depending on the type and quality of wood. The appearance of finishing such a dwelling depends on the density, humidity and the selected type of material, as well as the taste preferences of the owners.

Features of finishing work in a wooden house

Before starting interior decoration, you need to make sure that the wooden frame is completely dry and its shrinkage is completed. New wooden houses “shrink” especially intensively during the first year, this process can be accelerated by regular heating of the building.

Dilapidated houses must be inspected for various defects in the walls, which must be eliminated before finishing the wooden house.

The main feature of the repair of a wooden log house is the need to impregnate the walls with an antiseptic before installing a fine finish. The quality and durability of the antiseptic determine the safety and durability of the finished log house. In addition, it is necessary to dry the wood thoroughly in order to avoid its destruction under the influence of moisture or temperature changes.

Antiseptics with the addition of color give the wood an original shade

Depending on the chosen design of the project, the interior decoration for a wooden house can be made with various lightweight materials that allow air and moisture to pass through well so that the structures are not overloaded and a pleasant microclimate is preserved inside the building.

The choice of a specific material is also determined by the level of insulation of the living space, which affects the humidity and average temperature in each of the rooms. For example, finishing materials for an uninsulated country house made of wood should have greater thermal insulation than for a full-fledged winter log house.

Finishing the upper floor of a wooden house with decorative panels

An important factor in decorating the walls in a wooden house from the inside is the tastes of the owners of the premises. For example, connoisseurs of a "natural" interior prefer to limit themselves to covering the walls of the house with paint or varnish. Fans of a classic interior and plain walls prefer the installation of panels from various materials. Quality wood from which the living space is built is best complemented by plain panels made of plastic, wood, chipboard and even artificial stone in neutral or light shades.

When to start finishing work in a wooden house

Before starting the repair, you need to make sure that the wood is completely dry and the shrinkage of the house is completed. When finishing an old dwelling made of wood, you can start repairing immediately; Russia).

A wooden house made of rounded logs can be finished in a year or two after construction is completed.

The degree of shrinkage depends on the material chosen: a wooden log house shrinks from 7% to 10%, timber - 3-5%, and round logs - 5-6%.

Factors affecting the degree of shrinkage of the house

The time required for the complete drying of the wood depends on the material of construction, the quality of the felling, as well as the season in which the material was harvested.

The rate of shrinkage of the finished dwelling is also determined by changes in environmental humidity. For example, frequent precipitation during the cold season significantly slows down the process, and regular heating can speed it up.

Under the influence of changes in the level of moisture in wood, it can dry out or, conversely, swell. The amount of change in the final dimensions of the material depends on the direction of the fibers in the wood. As a rule, side walls shrink more slowly than front walls.

The process of preparing a log house for finishing work

After the completion of the construction of a wooden house, as well as the expiration of the period allotted for its shrinkage, it is possible to prepare a log house for finishing work. The process consists of several stages.

The process of processing a log house in a new house is often limited to covering the wood with a transparent varnish

Wooden walls must be carefully caulked with insulating material: jute, tow or pre-dried moss. The process starts from the bottom, moving to the ridge of the roof. The walls must be processed on both sides, in order to avoid distortion, insulation should be carried out promptly, processing the load-bearing walls on the same day.

After insulation, the house may “raise” a little, but later the jute (or other insulation) will “clog” between the logs or beams as tightly as possible, which will protect the building from drafts and provide a high level of thermal insulation.

Regardless of the visual characteristics, climatic conditions and other external factors, wood should be treated with antiseptic compounds before finishing. The active use of such chemicals will not only extend the life of the home, but also protect the surface of the material from unsightly external defects and prevent the appearance of mold or insects.

Materials for interior finishing work

Before choosing a specific material, you need to pay attention to the strength of the foundation, the quality of the log house and the density of the wood. As a rule, the best option for a wooden house is light "breathable" materials that maintain a comfortable microclimate in living quarters. It is not recommended to get carried away with facing made of plastic panels, as this will disrupt gas exchange and adversely affect the "atmosphere" in the premises.

Finishing a new wooden log house is limited to laying ceramic tiles on the floor

The most common option for finishing a wooden house inside is a transparent varnish coating in order to give the walls an intense shade and protect them from external influences. Lacquering is used in new homes with a pleasing appearance, when the task of finishing is to emphasize the natural beauty of wood.

Separate elements of a wooden house (fireplaces, stoves, parts of walls) are finished with natural or artificial stone. Before choosing this material, it is necessary to take into account its large weight, which may require additional strengthening of the foundation.

Ceramic tiles are one of the most affordable and aesthetic options for interior work, optimally combined with various types of wood.

The budget option for finishing, most often used in old houses, is design using drywall sheets. As a rule, drywall is designed to mask caulked seams, minor cosmetic wall defects, and also give the living space a more modern look.

Regardless of the chosen material, the installation will be carried out on wooden frames fixed to the walls. This method will allow you to quickly level the base, leave a technological gap between the wall and the finish, conduct “hidden” wiring, and additionally lay several layers of heat-insulating material.

Gaps between frames and wall surfaces are necessary to maintain a comfortable microclimate that creates a unique atmosphere in a wooden house. In addition, they provide active gas exchange, which prevents wood deformation. The disadvantage of the gaps is their susceptibility to mold, so the process of treating wood with antiseptic compounds should be carefully controlled.

Finishing work in an old wooden house

In general, dilapidated wooden houses are divided into two types depending on the condition of the supporting structures. So, dwellings made of quality wood, dilapidated under the influence of time, are the best option in order to “refresh” them with a new finish. The disadvantages of the building in this case are cosmetic, they can be easily eliminated without carrying out large-scale work.

In most cases, dilapidated wooden houses can be restored by replacing individual elements and building a solid foundation.

Old houses made of poor quality wood are characterized by severe damage to the supporting structures, high humidity or excessive dryness of the wood, as well as noticeable deformation. Unfortunately, such houses are in need of a major overhaul, rather than updating their appearance. Cosmetic repairs in this case are a waste of money without a long-term prospect of useful use.

The walls of a wooden house should be sanded and then tinted so that the shade of the wood is more “juicy”, and the whole building looks neater and newer.

Before finishing, it is necessary to treat the wall surfaces with an antiseptic, while it is advisable to use a coloring pigment to give the wood a more saturated shade.

If the wood itself has an aesthetic appearance, painting or impregnating with a clear varnish will be enough to obtain a pleasant appearance. Most often, wood trim inside the house is performed for walls made of heavily destroyed wood of non-uniform shades. In this case, the main task of the repair is to mask cosmetic defects.

The frame (or crate), which is the boards on which the finish is attached, in this case will visually align the walls, “hide” the electrical wiring and unaesthetic details of the old house.

Stages of finishing work

The first stage of finishing is to ensure the tightness of the room by “caulking” from the outside and inside. If the insulation does not look aesthetically pleasing, it must be cut, if necessary, decorative materials should be applied on top.

Insulated walls are finished with decorative material made of wood, stone, drywall, plastic or ceramics. At the heart of the finish is a frame that visually levels the walls.

At the final stage, the ceiling is designed, leaving technological gaps to maintain air circulation and provide a unique microclimate created by wood.

The floor covering is laid after the design of the ceiling.

Finished materials are treated with a stain - a composition to give the material the desired shade. If precious woods were used in the decoration, a transparent varnish can be used.

Modern compositions for protecting wood trim at home protect the material from most adverse external influences. At the same time, it is necessary to study the components of the composition in order to avoid allergic reactions from the residents of the finished house.

Conclusion

Despite the abundance of modern technological materials, wooden houses remain the best option for those who want to create not only an aesthetic, but also a comfortable living space. Competent construction and comfortable finishing of a private house inside in compliance with all technological requirements is a guarantee of a long service life of the finished building.

The interior decoration of a wooden house is one of the integral components of construction work. The installation of internal surfaces is important not only from a practical point of view, but also for the entire design of the room. If you have certain skills, it is quite possible to do all the work with your own hands.

Features of finishing wooden surfaces are associated with the nature of the material itself: along with unconditional environmental value, the ability to store heat, wood is highly susceptible to decay processes. Temperature fluctuations, exposure to moisture and the activity of various microorganisms have a negative effect on it. All this is important to consider before starting to finish a wooden house inside.

The whole finishing process can be divided into 4 stages:

• Wall finishing - wood processing, removal of all cracks, irregularities and sheathing.
• Finishing the ceiling of the house.
• Floor covering finishing.
• Creation of interior design.

Each stage will be considered in detail and provided with examples of ready-made solutions and step-by-step instructions.

Decorating the walls of a wooden house: step by step instructions

Walls are one of the main sources of heat loss (up to 30% of the total). Accordingly, it is important not only to process the wooden floors themselves well, but also to install a layer of insulation that is optimal for this case.

Treatment of wood material with an antiseptic

Before carrying out all the main work, it is important to carefully treat all internal and external wooden surfaces with a special antiseptic.

An antiseptic is a liquid agent that performs several functions at once:

• water-repellent properties allow you to protect the wood wall from moisture that penetrates with precipitation, as well as from the air; this is especially true in coastal regions with a humid climate;
• protection against temperature extremes by creating an additional layer;
• protection against the action of microorganisms (mold, bacteria) due to disinfectant properties;
• additional protection against burning (some products include special fire-fighting components);
• many antiseptics include various pigments, due to which the surface acquires a beautiful color after treatment.

There are a lot of options for all kinds of antiseptics on the market, and in principle they can be divided into several groups:

• Made on a water basis, they are used mainly for interior work, provided there is no constant contact of wood with moisture.
• Based on organic solvents, they are used both in external and internal works: they form a dense layer that does not allow moisture to pass through and has a detrimental effect on bacteria.
• Combined include fire-fighting components, represented by special substances.

The treatment solution can be cancer, paint, primer and other means. Description of their purpose and benefits are presented in the table.

scuba diving	prevent the development of bacteria and mold; colorless; do not give odors, so they can be used indoors
varnishes for wood	well protect against moisture due to the creation of a dense layer
oils	penetrate into the thickness of the wood very deeply, providing protection for the inner layers; do not emit pungent odors, can be used indoors
paints	used as an independent tool, and auxiliary after processing with the main composition; paint wood in different colors
antiseptic primers	universal products that are applied directly to raw wood
waxes	viscous materials that are applied to prevent swelling and mechanical damage to wood

In more detail about the rules for choosing an antiseptic for a tree:

An antiseptic is applied using a conventional paint brush or spray, if the amount of work is quite large. When working with organic-based materials, it is better to wear goggles and a bandage.

In this case, you should consider a few simple rules:

• Before applying the product, you should wipe the wood from dirt or mechanical deposits - but this is done not with water, but with a scraper and dry cloths.
• Processing goes from the bottom up (so that the product does not drip onto the hands).
• First of all, it is necessary to process inhomogeneous surfaces - with knots, cracks, as well as sections of cuts and ends of the bars.
• Processing takes place at a temperature not lower than + 10 ° C in dry weather (humidity should be no more than 75%).
• After treatment, leave the room to be ventilated for at least 12 hours.

NOTE. Do not impregnate with an antiseptic if the wood is very damp or cold, because in this case it will not be able to impregnate the material sufficiently.

Slot Finishing

The next important step in the interior decoration of a wooden house is the caulking of cracks to ensure complete tightness of the room.

You can choose different materials for this work:

• artificial polymer products: sealants, resins, polyurethane foam;
• traditional - flax, tow, moss;
• the most affordable option is a mixture of sawdust, shavings, wood dust with wood glue.

According to the technology of work, there are 2 methods of finishing:

• In the set - the material is first twisted into strips, then they are inserted into the slots and driven in.
• In stretching - first, the gaps are filled with material, and then they are twisted and driven in.

The technology of caulking slots is simple and consists of the following steps:

• The wall is cleaned of all irregularities, small protruding chips, fasteners with a grinder (this is done at the stage of antiseptic treatment).
• Next, the material is inserted along the borders of the bars and hammered.
• Slots are caulked with finer matter, often with the help of sealant or mounting foam.

Video - technology in action

You can also perform the so-called decorative caulk. It is more accurate and is performed in new log houses, which are expected to carry out large repairs to create a beautiful interior. The technology is as follows:

NOTE. It is advisable to carry out such work immediately after the completion of construction, since wooden beams shrink heavily in the first year.

Sheathing and insulation of walls in a wooden house

This is the most time-consuming and very important stage, since its ability to keep the temperature in winter and how neat the appearance of the walls will depend on the quality of the insulation and decoration of the room.

The sequence of work is carried out according to the following technology:

• Laying a vapor barrier layer.
• Installation of a layer of insulation on a wooden or profiled frame.
• Installation of a protective layer from the wind.
• Interior surface finishing (block house, wall paneling, drywall).

The corresponding sectional diagram of the wall is shown in the figure.

vapor barrier

The following materials are used as vapor barrier (waterproofing) materials:

• polyethylene;
• special mastics;
• membrane-based films are the best option, since they are able to retain moisture, but at the same time they pass air well, thanks to which the house creates conditions for normal year-round ventilation.

insulation layer

Heaters are most often mounted on a wooden frame or metal (aluminum profiles).

Schematically, the ways of fastening the insulation with the help of wooden beams are shown in the figure.

In the southern regions, you can not use insulation, since wood itself stores enough heat. However, in most cases, the installation of such a layer is an absolutely integral part of the work on the interior decoration of the wall of a wooden house.

There are several popular insulating materials:

Interior surface finish

Among the most popular materials that form the basis of the interior wall decoration in a wooden house, the following stand out:

• drywall;
• lining;
• block house.

Drywall is a material that will provide a smooth inner surface, the ability to glue wallpaper or PVC panels to create a beautiful interior space.

The undoubted advantages of this material include the following:

• it has high thermal insulation properties, which is especially important for regions with a Siberian, northern climate;
• drywall is a very malleable material, so it is easy to work with it; in addition, almost any bends can be provided that will allow you to hide the irregularities of the main wall and create the basis for the original design of the house;
• moisture resistance - many types of this material have similar properties.

The disadvantages of the material include:

• fragility - you need to work carefully; besides, when the house draws down, the sheet can often crack and tear the wallpaper or other finishing materials;
• drywall strongly holds moisture and does not allow the walls to "breathe";
• the material does not effectively protect the house from outside noise.

NOTE. Drywall does not hold well any weights that are supposed to be kept on weight (shelves). Therefore, if you choose it for decoration, you should think over all the features of the interior in advance and decide in advance on the places for shelves, niches, etc.

Drywall comes in very handy when you need to make a false wall to create another small room. It is mounted very simply - based on aluminum profiles.

Another popular material for interior decoration of the walls of a wooden house is lining.

This is the most environmentally friendly material, and at the same time it is very affordable. Lining has other obvious advantages:

• it looks very nice and allows you to create an interesting interior;
• working with lining is very simple - just treat the wood with wood stain and fix it on pre-installed wooden profiles;
• the material is not capricious in care - it is easy to clean and sufficiently resistant to mechanical stress;
• perfectly "breathes" and does not clog the air of the room with artificial odors;
• the surface of the wall is neat, smooth, so you can start wallpapering or installing PVC panels.

The only significant drawback of lining is its ability to rot and high flammability. However, treatment with the previously discussed means significantly reduces such risks.

Pine clapboard trim

And one more interesting material that appeared relatively recently is a block house. In fact, this is a wooden board that has two different surfaces:

• front - convex, creating the effect of a log wall;
• the back is flat.

Since the material is wood, it has about the same pros and cons. However, it is distinguished by great visual appeal - in fact, it already creates a unique country-style design in itself, which can be preserved in its original form.

Finishing the ceiling of a wooden house from the inside

Finishing work to insulate the inner surface of the ceiling and give it an attractive appearance is a very important stage, since heat loss through the roof is no less than through the walls (all heat rises).

In addition, it is important to ensure that the roof is completely waterproof. If it is planned to equip a living room (attic) in the attic, accordingly, sufficient sound insulation and floor strength should be ensured.

Most often, eco-friendly wood materials are selected for these purposes. They create pleasant, clean air at home, and on their basis, you can create a lot of design options for every taste.

Woodworking

The use of wooden cladding is the most natural and logical option in the case of the interior decoration of a wooden house. The material options are as follows (in order of increasing life):

• plywood;
• lining;
• arrays of coniferous species (spruce, pine, larch and others);
• more expensive arrays (beech, bast, ash, birch).

Structurally, there are 2 technologies:

The finishing methods are very simple, while the possibility of attaching them to the supporting beams allows you to complete all the work quite quickly. Some design options are shown in the video.

other methods

Of course, along with wood materials, there are other technologies for manufacturing the inner surface of the ceiling in a wooden house. The most common option is to create a stretch ceiling.

Along with the obvious advantages in terms of the possibility of creating your own design and the high operational strength of the material in the case of wooden houses, there are significant disadvantages:

• stretch ceilings do not let air through, respectively, to some extent, a greenhouse effect is created;
• profiles from stretch ceilings, together with the canvas, may be somewhat deformed as a result of subsidence of the house.

NOTE. This problem is most likely for old houses with worn foundations and roofs, as well as for newly built structures, which will inevitably shrink during the first years.

Finishing the flooring in a wooden house

The final stage of finishing work is associated with insulation and flooring of the floor surface.

In general, its structure does not fundamentally differ from the wall - there are also heaters, a waterproofing layer and the actual finishing material.

There are several important requirements for the floor at once:

• it must constantly withstand heavy loads;
• keep warm in the house;
• be perfectly even
• resistant to decay and mechanical damage.

Wooden floor

Structurally, the floor can be made in two ways:

• wooden load-bearing beams with flooring;
• concrete floor with wood flooring.

Both options have their pros and cons, and you need to choose based on the specific object. Concrete is durable, tightly blocks the access of insects and rodents to the house, besides it is very durable for long-term mechanical stress and is not subject to decay.

At the same time, wood is not so durable, but it is warmer and does not heat the house in hot weather. The best option in many cases is a concrete floor with a powerful layer of insulation and wooden flooring. In this case, an exceptionally reliable design with additional heat-insulating properties is obtained.

The technology for installing a wooden floor is simple:

NOTE. If the floor is mounted on the basis of wooden beams, then special attention should be paid to their treatment with an antiseptic. It is better to do several approaches of 2-3 layers.

Concrete floor

In the case of the construction of a concrete floor, the material is poured in two options:

• directly on the ground (a pre-dug pit is reinforced with a layer of sand, crushed stone and gravel to provide additional protection and drainage);
• between the wooden logs passing under the house.

The concrete is reinforced, after which a layer of waterproofing is required, and then a wooden floor is laid using the same technology.

Creating an interior in a wooden house

The interior decoration of a wooden house should be carried out with preliminary design planning. It is conditionally possible to distinguish 2 groups of design:

• "Urban" - when ordinary wallpaper is glued to the inner finishing layer or PVC or MDF panels are mounted, and in this case the interior is no different from an ordinary city apartment.
• Country - Styling for a natural, rustic look with classic light and dark brown warm tones. In this case, the finishing material itself (especially the block house or lining) serves as the basis for the design.

The use of country is especially successful in the case of spacious rooms with 2 or more floors, spacious living rooms, since the wood wall creates the effect of space and provides fresh air due to the characteristics of the material.

Light colors are great for a bedroom or a children's room.

Warm, rich colors are appropriate in the kitchen, which create a cozy atmosphere for pleasant family evenings.

The wood surface is a versatile design element, as it also works well in spaces such as the bathtub.

The interior decoration of a wooden house is a job that is quite realistic to do on your own. It is only important to think over all the details in advance and take into account both the design features, the quality of the material, and its design capabilities.

The interior decoration of a residential building built of wood is the most important stage in its arrangement. This issue must be approached as responsibly as possible. After all, the comfort and durability of the house depends on the quality of the finishing measures.

Finishing a house made of wood - the main rules

Natural wood is a building material that never wanes in popularity. Residential buildings made of it are characterized by a unique environmental friendliness and a special aura. In them, a person feels really comfortable, especially when the interior decoration of an old or new wooden house is carried out in accordance with all the rules of building science. The latter are not so difficult.

First of all, you need to take into account the following: the arrangement of the log house inside is carried out strictly after its shrinkage (if we are talking about a new building). As a rule, finishing work begins 1-1.5 years after the construction of the house. Note that wild log buildings take longer to shrink, since such wood initially has a high moisture content. Buildings made of round logs can be finished 10 months after their construction, and houses made of glued beams can be finished in a month and a half.

For interior decoration of residential buildings made of wood, it is desirable to use natural materials. Of course, modern facing products have many advantages. But still, natural materials are better combined with wooden structures.

Of great importance is the creation of competent vapor and thermal insulation. Everything is simple here. When arranging vapor protection, we adhere to the following principle - each subsequent facing layer laid towards the street must be characterized by a higher vapor transmission potential than the previous one. If this rule is not followed, the house will be damp, which will lead to rotting of wood, the formation of fungus and mold. Nuance. Warming is required only for old buildings, the walls of which have dilapidated and have lost their natural thermal insulation capabilities. New log cabins do not need additional protection from the cold.

Finishing of buildings of interest to us is carried out strictly after the installation of all planned engineering communications. It is performed sequentially. First we caulk the gaps on the walls (from the inside). Then we sheathe the walls, perform ceiling work, install the coating on the floor. The final stage of work is the staining of finishing products and their coloring. Next, we will talk about all these stages in more detail.

How to sheathe the walls - lining, drywall or MDF?

We begin the work with the treatment with an antiseptic solution of all, without exception, surfaces made of wood, elements of engineering networks. The protective composition will protect the tree from premature aging and destruction, reduce the risk of mold, the appearance of larvae. After that, we proceed to caulking holes and cracks in the walls. The procedure is laborious, but not difficult. It does not require special knowledge. We fill the gaps in the walls from the inside of the house with any suitable material. It can be natural moss, hemp, felt, tow. We carry out caulking from the bottom up, and immediately along all the walls.

In the case when the log house was built recently, and its walls look beautiful, there is no point in sheathing them with additional materials. It would be much more reasonable to emphasize the natural attractiveness of wood. To do this, it is enough to grind the wall surfaces, and then tint them. As a result, we get an ethnic-style finish. If this option does not suit us, for wall cladding in a wooden private house you can use:

• lining;
• block house;
• Wall panels;
• MDF (wood fiber sheets), drywall.

Clapboard trim is the most affordable way to decorate walls from the inside. It is he who is used by home craftsmen most often. A type of lining is a block house. It is a product that imitates natural logs. The installation of a block house and lining is carried out according to the same principle. A little later, we will consider in detail the technology of mounting these materials. Gypsum boards and fibreboards for sheathing wooden dwellings are used very rarely. They negate the natural beauty of wood. Make the house look like a standard city apartment.

And the block house, and lining, and other products are mounted on a pre-made crate (framework). Installation of facing materials directly on a wooden wall is not recommended. And that's why. The crate performs several important functions at once. First, there is some free space between it and the wall. It allows the circulation of (natural) air, thereby guaranteeing an optimal indoor climate. Secondly, behind the crate, you can lay a layer of thermal insulation and various communications, from electrical wiring to pipes.

We make the frame from metal profiles or from well-dried timber.

The crate should not closely adjoin the ceiling surface and the floor. Experts advise to deviate from the indicated bases by 2–3 cm. We mount the guides for the crate in increments of 50–60 cm. We fix them to the walls with self-tapping screws. Work on creating a frame takes a minimum of time. At the same time, they allow us to obtain a perfectly aligned base on which any cladding can be installed.

Clapboard and block house, as noted, are often used for interior decoration of timber dwellings. Let's see how to work with such materials, remembering that they are mounted according to the same principle. To begin with, we will choose the right lining. We will need thin products, optimally - 15-20 mm. They are suitable for cladding both walls and ceilings. They can be mounted at a certain angle, both vertically and horizontally. If desired, you can combine all of these methods of installing facing products to get an original finish - a full-fledged decorative panel. True, not every craftsman can achieve such a result with his own hands.

Fastening the lining to a wooden base or frame is carried out in three ways. The first involves fixing the finishing material with the help of finishing nails with small caps or without them at all. Subsequently, the upper parts of the hardware are puttied and treated with sandpaper. This type of fastener is practically not used today. It was replaced by the so-called hidden mounting technologies. In such cases, very thin self-tapping screws or nails driven into the groove or spike of the lining at a certain angle, as well as kleimers, act as fasteners in such cases. Such details are practically invisible on the finished surface. But working with them requires the utmost care. One careless movement, and the front surface of the block house (lining) will be damaged.

Sheets of drywall to the crate are fixed with self-tapping screws of small thickness. But the fastening of most modern wall panels made of gypsum, plastic, bamboo, veneered and laminated MDF is carried out according to the groove-thorn system. The latter guarantees a flawless surface - smooth, beautiful, with a complete absence of noticeable seams and joints. Some decorative panels (plastic, gypsum), in addition, can be glued to the base, if the frame is made of plasterboard or plywood sheets.

Let's say a few words about the ceiling lining. It can be produced by materials already described by us. The principle of their installation will be the same. Important! It is better not to use a wooden wagon for arranging ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens. It is more reasonable to decorate these rooms with tension structures that are not afraid of high humidity. If the ceiling surface has an attractive appearance, you should not spoil it with clapboard, drywall or decorative panels. In such a case, it is better to carefully sand each log on the ceiling, treat it with an antiseptic and flame retardant. And then cover the surface with a colorless varnish. The amount of finishing work will increase. But on the other hand, we will be able to admire and admire the natural beauty of the wood above our heads every day.

What should be the floors in the log house?

Floor coverings in wooden houses are equipped without any problems. We take into account that in such buildings the floors are made on logs. Therefore, solid board, parquet, linoleum, carpet, laminate, painted or varnished wood panels can be used as a finish. The main thing is that the flooring is in harmony with the wood, as well as with the rest of the elements of the interior being created. Then we can achieve the perfect home decor.

The process of arranging floors in wooden houses is as follows:

1. 1. We build a rough bottom base.
2. 2. We install insulation material and waterproofing between the lags.
3. 3. We install the boards of the rough base (the upper part of the structure).
4. 4. We lay the finishing finishing material.

If we lay a massive board on the floor, we choose products from cedar or larch. They have a chic appearance and have a long service life. Hardwood and cedar plank floors last for decades. They require regular, but very simple maintenance, which eliminates the possibility of premature destruction. Massive boards can be mounted directly on the subfloor. The scheme of work will be as follows:

1. 1. We cut off the spike at the first facing product. We install it to the wall.
2. 2. Between the wall and the first board we mount thin (up to 25 mm) gaskets. They will need to be removed after the completion of the floor arrangement.
3. 3. We drill holes in the rough base. We fix the board in them in a secret, using self-tapping screws.
4. 4. We connect the second massive product with the first (thorn-groove). We knock it over the entire length with a mallet. We attach to the lags with a self-tapping screw.
5. 5. Similarly, we lay the rest of the boards.
6. 6. We grind the resulting coating. We open it with varnish.
7. 7. We mount skirting boards around the perimeter of the room.

Solid wood floors should be revarnished every two years. The procedure is easy and does not require excessive costs.

If you plan to lay a parquet board, the complexity of the work will increase. The principle of installation of such a coating is similar to the installation of massive products (the same tenon-groove system). But in such cases, we need to achieve maximum evenness of the floor base. In addition, under the parquet you will need to make a special substrate. It is made from sheets of plywood (necessarily moisture resistant), which are mounted on a subfloor. We carry out their laying in a run, we fix it with self-tapping screws. After that, we proceed to the installation of parquet. We lay the coating one plank at a time, attaching each of them to the substrate. Parquet floors can be fixed with hardware. But it is better to use glue. We sand the parquet board after installation and varnish it.

It is also necessary to equip the plywood substrate in cases where carpet or linoleum is used as a coating. Without a flat surface, it will not be possible to lay them qualitatively. The very process of laying such materials, I think, will not cause difficulties for anyone. Ceramic tiles are used for flooring in wooden dwellings very rarely. There are several reasons for this:

1. 1. Wood under the tile practically does not breathe. This causes the decay of natural material and its early destruction.
2. 2. It makes no sense to cover warm wood with cold tiles.
3. 3. The static nature of wooden bases is low. And for laying tiles, the most stable base surface is required.

If all this does not scare us, we can mount ceramic tiles as a finish on the floor. But first we level the base by pouring a concrete screed or laying cement-bonded or moisture-resistant gypsum plasterboard (gypsum fiber) boards.

It will depend on how beautiful and comfortable you will feel in your home. If you are thinking about how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside, then you need to consider several options, having familiarized yourself with the positive and negative features of each.

When thinking about how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside in the kitchen, you need to take into account the region in which the building is located. It is important to take into account the moment whether you will live in the house all year round or only during the warm period of time. In the latter case, the walls may not be covered with facing material, such as clapboard. In this case, experts advise using varnishes and paints, as well as tinting solutions. You can apply decorative plaster, tile, fabric, leather and other materials.

Based on the advantages of a wooden house, one of which is expressed in the naturalness of the building, it is best to prefer a natural finish that will not prevent the penetration of fresh air inside. This includes lining or block house. When deciding how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside in a country house, experts quite often advise choosing the above-mentioned finishing options, the material of which corresponds to the material at the base of the walls. This is due to the fact that during operation the structure will be affected by temperature and humidity, which will contribute to a change in the linear dimensions of the products. If the walls and trim are made from the same type of wood, then the coefficient of expansion will be the same.

When choosing products for interior decoration of rooms for various purposes, you must take into account the characteristics of the wood species. For example, conifers, when exposed to high temperatures, are capable of releasing resin, so it is not recommended to use them when decorating a bathroom or kitchen. If you are faced with the question of how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside, then you can use ash, which tolerates high humidity and can be used in the design of rooms for various purposes. When decorating old and new wooden buildings, lining is often used, the advantages of which are ease of installation, attractive appearance and low cost. It will be possible to hang various items on such walls, including household appliances. This cannot be said about drywall, which is not always able to withstand high loads. To solve the problem, you can make niches.

Completely eco-friendly house

To preserve the style of a wooden house as much as possible, it is best to use a block house, its reverse side is flat, while the outer one has the shape of a semicircle. If you have a log house, then block house interior decoration will be the best solution. In order to finally decide how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the information below, from which you can understand what characteristics each of the listed materials has.

Using a block house

With the help of this material, you can create an ideal microclimate inside the house, and if you use coniferous wood, this will help prevent the occurrence and development of respiratory diseases. Quite often, the look of an old house is transformed using a block house that imitates natural wood. For interior decoration, it is recommended to prefer lamellas, the thickness of which varies from 20 to 25 millimeters. It is not recommended to purchase a thicker material, since a more massive crate will be required for its installation. It will take up the free space of the room, and installation will require more effort and time.

For some consumers, the need to purchase this material with some margin becomes a real problem. This leads to additional costs, and if the finishing during installation is not enough, then the use of lamellas from another batch will lead to a decrease in the aesthetic result. However, the existing shortcomings are offset by many advantages, which are expressed by good ventilation created after the completion of the installation work. Before purchasing, you should take into account that during the operation of the walls from the block house, they will have to be cleaned and varnished from time to time. Dust can accumulate between boards. In addition, natural wood products are quite expensive. Preparation before installing the material may seem too time-consuming, because cracks in the walls will have to be repaired, and then the installation of the crate system will be started. If you still can’t decide how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside, then you should think about the possibility of insulation when using a block house, thermal insulation is laid between it and the main wall, which also does not allow extraneous sounds to penetrate into the room.

It is important to consider that the frame can be deformed during use if not too well-dried elements were used for its installation.

The use of lining

This option is not only inexpensive, but also publicly available. Mounting such a finish will be quite simple, since it has special fasteners. With their help, it will be possible to create strong connections, and the surface will turn out beautiful and even. This interior wall cladding is perfect for rooms with high humidity, such as a bathroom or kitchen. You can not worry about the moisture content of the material, since raw materials with a 12% level are used in the manufacturing process. Depending on the purpose of the room, it is best to choose a certain one. Linden, birch or ash is suitable for the living room and bedroom. But for the bathroom or kitchen, it is better not to use softwood lining.

Additional benefits of lining

If you are faced with the question of how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside inexpensively, then you can choose a lining that is environmentally friendly. With its help, you can create a unique atmosphere inside the premises. The material has a pleasant structure. Having visited the store and familiarized yourself with a wide range, you can choose for yourself options with different patterns and natural shades. Manufacturers offer products of various grades, depending on which you can choose the right material at an affordable cost for you. For example, the highest quality is grade A, which is called eurolining. Such a board will have the highest cost and an ideal surface. On its basis, you will not notice knots and cracks. But the lowest is grade C, which has a low cost and cosmetic defects. But some consumers believe that interspersed knots in some cases look very beautiful and colorful in interior decoration, which is why they choose this variety, trying to match the design idea.

Some disadvantages of lining

Quite often, the owners think about how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside. It is recommended to consider the photo in advance, perhaps this will allow you to make the right choice. The lining looks very attractive, but has some disadvantages that can repel a number of consumers. For example, it is somewhat deformed after installation, which may lead to the need to replace individual elements. One of the disadvantages can be considered the fact that the walls of the lining require careful maintenance, which is not always convenient, because the house can be visited by the owners only from time to time.

Fire safety lining

The fire safety of such a coating is significantly lower compared to drywall, but it remains at a high level when compared with a plastic coating. This effect is achieved by special impregnations, which are applied in the factory at the manufacturing stage.

Features of the use of drywall

Quite often, owners of housing and country houses think about how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside under the wallpaper. Drywall is perfect for this finish, which allows you to hide all the defects and uneven walls. With it, you can hide communications. This material is universal, as it can be used in rooms with normal or high humidity. It can be used even in conditions that are characterized by elevated temperatures. However, in this case, experts recommend purchasing fire-resistant drywall.

Why choose drywall

Behind the sheets, you can place heat and, among other things, the GKL itself is characterized by such qualities. It is able to give and absorb moisture, therefore it is a material that regulates the microclimate of the premises. When deciding what is the best way to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside, you can choose exactly drywall, as it allows you to implement the most daring design solutions, which cannot be said about the two options described above, with which you can only form even walls. Thinking about how to sheathe the walls in a wooden house inside from mice, you can use GKL, which is impregnated during the manufacturing process with special chemical compounds.

Conclusion

So, we presented several options for wall decoration in a wooden house inside. What to choose - block house, wall paneling, drywall - it's up to you.

Wooden houses are an example of environmental friendliness and naturalness, and when facing it is important not to negate this main advantage, therefore it is important to involve only professionals in the implementation, use only high-quality breathable materials. Let's try to deal with all the nuances of wall decoration in a wooden house and consider what materials are suitable for their cladding, and when you can do without them.

No. 1. When can I start the interior decoration of wooden walls?

Alas, immediately after the construction of a wooden house, it is impossible to proceed to. A newly built house must be given time to shrink. The duration of this process depends on many factors. If the house is built from glued, then you can move on to finishing the walls already through 3-4 weeks, and the owners of all other types of wooden houses will have to wait at least 10 months, and for a guarantee - a year. The shrinkage time depends not only on the material used in the construction, but also on the climatic conditions in the region and the initial moisture content of the raw materials.

During shrinkage, active drying of wood occurs, it decreases in size, and the used one is crushed under the weight of logs and timber. It is easy to imagine what will happen if you start finishing the walls during this period - the facing material will either fall off or warp it. In any case, after a few months everything will have to be redone, and this is again money and effort, so it’s better to wait until the main shrinkage processes have passed. But you won’t have to be bored doing nothing, since it is at this time that it is necessary to ensure the tightness of all joints, which is achieved through competent caulking.

No. 3. The nuances of choosing a finishing material for wooden walls

A distinctive feature of wooden walls is the ability to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity levels indoors. In order to retain these unique properties, the cladding must be use natural materials. The choice of a particular material is influenced lots of factors:

• 
  climate of the region and whether the owners of the house live in it permanently or only in the summer. If the climate is mild or it is supposed to rest in a wooden house only in the warm season, then you can do without additional finishing materials and admire the natural beauty of the log house, however, do not forget to cover it. If the house will be used constantly, and the winters in the region are cold, then it is better to use the finish, and install it on the crate in order to use insulation between the wall and the cladding;
• home condition. The walls of a brand new wooden house are distinguished by their attractive appearance, beautiful texture and color, so if possible it is better not to hide them under the finish. In this case, it is better to grind the log or timber and tint the surface. For this, they are used water based paints, which do not paint over the color of the wood, but only give it a certain shade, or coloring antiseptics. Antiseptics will still have to be used in order to preserve the original appearance of the wood for a long time and provide it with reliable protection. Lacquer can also be used, but more often they cover floors. If the walls are old and already have an imperfect appearance, then it is better to hide them under the finish. Perfect fit lining, in particular the one that imitates - block house;
• room features. In some rooms, wooden walls can be covered with tiles, plaster, or even drywall and siding. Of course, this is justified only for and in order to provide maximum protection to the wood.

No. 6. Wall panels

Thanks to the use of wall panels, walls can be transformed beyond recognition and embody absolutely any design idea; with their help, only separate zones are often decorated: above the bed, near the bathroom. Wall panels are made from different materials:

• wood and bamboo;
• veneered and laminated MDF;
• (transparent, matte, printed);
• leather;

Panels can be type-setting and shield. Type-setting have a large length and a small width, they are connected according to the tenon-groove principle. Wooden lining, in fact, refers to panel wall panels, but its wide distribution and unique properties made it possible to distinguish it into a separate class of finishing materials. Shield panels already have a more comparable length and width.
