How to do interior decoration with clapboard with your own hands? What is the difficulty of facing + Video

Any structure after construction needs interior decoration. The main task in this case is to get a well-groomed look with high performance properties. Decorating with clapboard has become a popular design solution today.

This is the most demanded finishing material, in particular, for suburban projects, which is a board fixed around the perimeter of the room.

Often people try to do the installation on their own, but in order to perform it correctly, you need to know some of the nuances in working with clapboard.

How to choose material. General information

Types of lining

First you need to decide what kind of lining for interior decoration is better to use.

Not so long ago, it was made only of wood, but today the materials can be different:

• - aluminum, which, by the way, is not recommended for use in interior decoration, since it has no resistance to high temperatures, and it looks completely unpresentable;
• - PVC panels, which are an economical material, but short-lived;
• - MDF - a good solution that allows you to fit into any interior. In addition, the advantage is the ability to hide any wiring.

Finishing wooden materials differ in the following parameters:

1. - wood species;
2. - quality;
3. - profile.

In appearance, the lining is monotonous, but designers with experience know and are able to embody ideas and give the interior a special look, coming up with unusual wall mountings. Despite the diversity, preference is still given to wood of different species.

Properties

The method of finishing the premises with the help of boards came from the transport sphere, when the cars were sheathed with wooden panels. The lining is widely used in the decoration of the walls of wooden houses, baths, balconies with terraces, as a decor in the interior, giving individuality to wooden buildings.

Among the positive characteristics are:

• high environmental friendliness;
• appearance;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• good noise insulation properties.

Choosing a tree

Wood is a versatile and relevant material for wall cladding inside the house. The following species are often found on the Russian market:

Cedar

This material has a long service life due to the density and resin content of the tree.

Among the advantages are:

• - beneficial and calming effect on the nervous system;
• - antiseptic properties;
• - attractiveness;
• - aromatherapy.

However, the high price tag prevents everyone from using the cedar clapboard.

Cheaper options

• Linden .

  It is characterized by a uniform color range and a pleasant aroma.Linden lining is popularly used for cladding baths due to the minimum resin content. Among the minuses is the porous structure of the tree and susceptibility to rot formation. To increase the life of the material, you can protect linden with impregnations.

• Pine .

  The most popular tool due to its low cost, attractiveness, which is a beautiful and bright pattern. But the most important advantage is resistance to decay. There is only one drawback - high resin content, which manifests itself even after the process of drying the board.

• Larch . A very durable board, similar in characteristics to oak.

  The positive thing about the use of larch is that it is very resistant to moisture, does not rot and therefore is an excellent way of exterior decoration. Cons - high price.

• Oak . Among all trees, it is distinguished by high performance properties and appearance. Decorating with this tree is carried out for the whole life of the house, and the material itself is among the elite.

  The only drawback is the cost.

Hardwood does not allow moisture to pass through and does not release heat outside the room, which is great for decorating saunas. For the house, it is better to take conifers.

Lining quality

A very important parameter, divided into several options:

Grade Extra

Being a better grade of lining without any defects.

Grade A

Which allows some defects in the form:

• - large but strong knots no more than one per meter of the product;
• - up to two cracks and less than 9.

  5 cm in length;

• - up to two resin pockets;

Grade B

Comes with pronounced flaws in the form:

• - blue areas;
• - chips;
• - dents;
• - through cracks, etc.

Grade C

It should be noted that there is also a third grade C, which is completely unsuitable for finishing living quarters.

When choosing lining, it is recommended to pay attention to the profile, which may have a similar appearance to a bar, log or siding. The choice is based on the preference or task of the designer.

How to finish with clapboard?

The main stages of finishing

There are two popular methods of cladding - horizontal and vertical.

The first is carried out using fasteners from the ceiling to the floor, and the second starts from the corner using cleats and lathing.

So, the work is divided into several stages:

Preparation

To get started, you need to prepare your materials.

It will take:

1. - lining;
2. - wooden slats;
3. - fasteners, called clays;
4. - insulation;
5. - film with vapor barrier characteristics;
6. - bars for the frame.

Important! House insulation is best done outside. On the inside, an extreme measure.

Before buying materials, be sure to decide on the square of the working surface. The easiest way is to use an online calculator on the Internet.

You can calculate the number of the required board by dividing the total area of ​​the room into the area of ​​one board.

Working with walls

Walls must be prepared before cladding.

If they are made of bricks, blocks or concrete, then the algorithm of actions is as follows:

• - dismantling of all elements that may interfere with work is carried out.

  These include various shelves, cabinets, decorative elements, etc.;

• - in the presence of peeling plaster, falling off tiles, etc., they will need to be removed.

When it comes to a wooden house, the preparatory process is slightly different:

• - dismantling of hinged elements;
• - processing antiseptic for resistance to fungi and fire;
• - insulation of cracks with tow, twine, polyurethane, and soundproofing with expanded polystyrene, mineral plates, etc.

After that, you can proceed to the next stage.

Installation of the frame

Correct installation is the key to success. To do the job efficiently, you should take a responsible approach to this matter.

• The ventilation gap is performed first. To do it, you will need to attach the slats horizontally in half-meter increments in the form of belts to the walls.
• After that, the vapor barrier film is stretched to the battens.

  An important point is its correct tension with the overlap of the canvas on each other by 10 cm. The joints can be glued with tape.

• The process of attaching the frame post. Metal corners can be used as clamps. The main thing is that the racks are vertical and in the same plane.

  To create this condition, you need to put the extreme corners of the beams at the same distance from the wall and already between them, you should stretch the threads, as a reference point for the intermediate racks. Intermediate racks are set so that the distance between the bars is 2 cm less than the width of the mats.

• The turn of the insulation has come, which is located between the racks.
• A vapor barrier film is attached to the frame.
• The work is completed by means of a counter-lattice of 2 cm thick battens.

  Make sure that the counter-lattice is perpendicular to the position of the lining.

Important points! For the ventilation gap to work, from the bottom of the wall and under the visor, air vents, which are called small holes, should be made and filled with mineral wool or mesh. To make the walls even, the slats should be perpendicular to the lining and be in the same plane. The principle of installation work with walls and with a ceiling is the same.

Installation of lining

There is a simple and clear instruction.

For example, if the lining is installed vertically, then the work looks like this:

• Boards are cut according to the height of the room.
• The frame is sheathed from the corner. To do this, the board is set vertically in level and is attached to the crate using self-tapping screws screwed in from the side of the thorn. To avoid splitting the board, it is recommended to drill the holes in advance. In the place of the groove, the lining is attached to the frame with clamps to make the installation invisible.

  They are attached to the frame with small studs or self-tapping screws.

• The next board is joined with the first in the lock and again fixed with clamps and so on.
• The last board is cut to the width from the side of the groove and screwed on with self-tapping screws.
• After sheathing, work begins with decorative elements - corners, fixed with window studs without heads.
• Installation of slopes is carried out by fastening the rails along the perimeter of the opening with the lining connection as a standard option.

• Installation of wooden corners along the perimeter of the opening.
• The ceiling is sheathed according to the above scheme.
• Ceiling and wall joints can be hidden with wooden corners or special skirting boards for the ceiling.
• The final stage is the treatment of the lining with impregnation or varnish to protect the material from negative influences and make it more attractive.

Wood cladding "block house"

This finishing option is ideal for the living room, kitchen, hallway, attic.

The way the cladding is made allows the walls to breathe, creating a pleasant microclimate, and improving sound insulation. The initial stage is standard - the calculation of fittings and the amount of material, which are panels connected to each other from several lining strips in the form of a rounded log. After the purchase, it is important to let the material lie down for about three days in the room where the work is planned.

Advantages of a block house made of wood:

• - strength;
• - naturalness;
• - resistance to temperature changes;
• - simple installation;
• - thermal insulation properties.

Disadvantages :

• - in order for the block house to serve for a long time, it will periodically have to be processed with paints and varnishes and septic tanks;
• - low vapor permeability;
• - flammability;
• - low moisture resistance.

The block house is placed exclusively in the horizontal direction, since the vertical installation has a huge number of disadvantages. Fastenings are carried out using self-tapping screws at an angle of 30-45 degrees.

To hide the caps, you can use:

1. working material, when corks are made from the scraps and are attached in recesses using PVA glue;
2. wood paste made from PVA glue and sawdust. The holes are filled with this mixture;
3. using special plugs sold in hardware stores.

To create beautiful corners with your own hands, you can buy so-called boats.

The final step is sanding. You need to approach it with caution, as one awkward movement breaks the structure of the board.The surface is coated with varnish or paint (alkyd, acrylic, linen).

The cost of the lining

The price is indicated per square meter in rubles. So, grade A cedar costs 500 rubles.

, Canadian cedar, and even the perfect one will cost 2,700 rubles, linden and pine of grade A from 250 to 300 rubles. , and extra class - 500 rubles.

Summing up, we note that the internal clapboard department is a fairly simple and quick option that can give an attractive interior design. The main thing is to take the preparatory stage seriously and make an even frame.
