Wall paneling - suitable material for interior decoration

The ideal solution for interior and exterior decoration of houses and premises is lining a timber. This material will always look stylish and neat, as well as emphasize the rustic style (country). In addition, it has many advantages and properties, we will talk about them in this article.

Differences from the original material

Imitation of a bar from lining is a durable and reliable profiled wooden board under a bar. The production of boards is carried out mainly from pine and spruce wood.

Differences from lining:

• Outwardly, it looks like an ordinary lining board, but it lacks an intermediate groove after the docking process;
• On the back is a groove for ventilation;
• The wall covering process is performed only in a horizontal area. This allows you to create the appearance of a wooden beam, which will give comfort to the house.

Application

In most cases, the material in question is used in the interiors of cottages and houses for wall decoration, which are built from bricks, cinder blocks and other materials.

The components used for the manufacture of imitating lining are environmentally friendly and natural, this gives the building a healthy environment and microclimate. Such a situation can never create any polymer or PVC material.

Important. Interior decoration is best done by a wide imitation of timber with a width of 13-15 centimeters. The use of such bars allows you to visually expand the size of the room. In addition, indoors, this board can also sheathe the ceiling.

This material is used to sheathe the bay windows and gables of houses from the street side. What kind of building material the wall consists of is not so important, the main thing is that it has acceptable thermal characteristics. If they are not good enough, then it is necessary to think about the work on insulation - the creation of a ventilated facade, insulating layer of foam blocks, etc.

Only after the warming measures have been completed can the construction of the exterior of the building be carried out. After you tile your home with an imitation of a bar, your home will look noble and prestigious.

Remember that a wider board is required for exterior decoration - 20 cm or more. The price for its square meter is about the same as the narrower brands.

Raw materials for production

The considered facing material in most cases is made of cedar, larch, spruce or pine. Each raw material has its own advantages and characteristics.

We suggest to talk about this in more detail:

• Spruce and pine are resistant to rotting, easy to process, and endowed with a magnificent aroma of resin;
• Larch fully complies with all fire safety requirements due to the fact that it has a reduced thermal conductivity. The density and hardness of such wood is very high, and can compete with oak wood. Despite the fact that during its processing it will be necessary to spend more effort, products from it will serve for a long time.

This material has a very interesting property - it hardens in water, so experts recommend using it in rooms with high humidity, and there will be no risk of damage;

• The bar lining from a cedar combines at the same time softness and durability, it well gives in to processing and cutting. Cedar has the same property as all conifers - the ability to regulate the relative humidity of the room. In addition, it is not subject to damage and deformation.

Any products made of cedar are resistant to rotting processes, purify the air and even drive away insects. In a word, no microorganisms or bugs will damage the cedar plank.

Benefits

We invite you to form all the advantages of the imitation of the wall panel on the basis of the above material:

• Constant sizes. That is, the absence of deformations under temperature effects or increased moisture;
• No rotting processes. Allows you to apply products even in conditions of high humidity;
• Appearance. Permits the use of timber for cladding of any premises, both internal and external;
• Good thermal conductivity. When arranging a small insulating layer can improve the properties of thermal conductivity;
• Reliability of connection between boards thanks to the tongue and groove system.

Installation

Important. Before starting the installation work, it is imperative to check the walls, if they are curves, then you will have to apply a batten. It’s almost impossible to find even walls, so if you’re not sure about your walls, then don’t risk it.

Installation instructions are as follows:

• We prepare material for the manufacture of crates. For this we need wooden blocks with different lengths;
• Between the wall and the crate we install thermal insulation, for this we can take foam panels;
• The process of creating crates. Fasten the slats to the wall in half a meter maximum meter. Since we will fasten the wall panel horizontally, we attach the slats vertically. In the process of fixing the rails we definitely use the hydraulic level, only with the help of it can we make an ideal surface;
• After the slats are exposed and secured, fasten the material with staples, dowels, screws or nails, depending on what you have at hand.

As you can see the process is simple and you can do it yourself, but you will need a specific tool for this.

Conclusion

Lining or imitation of timber is a very suitable material for facing works, and both external and internal surfaces. This material gives a beautiful appearance that is ideal for country-style buildings (see also the article Imitation of a block from House Block: features, advantages, installation).

In addition, it is very reliable and high quality in operation. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
