Artificial Decoration Materials gradually experienced their boom, and gradually wood began to win back the market. This statement is relevant not only for the construction of houses, but also for their interior design clapboard. Completely environmentally friendly cladding adds additional comfort, warmth and beauty to the premises. However, not knowing how to cover the lining, some owners leave it unprotected. As a result, beautiful wood, which with proper treatment could last for many years, needs to be replaced after 5-7 years. This happens due to its destruction, chipping, stains during cleaning, and contamination.

Varnishing of lining

Main purpose of wood processing

After covering the interior with clapboard, it is necessary to carry out the first surface treatment no later than a week later. By using a varnish that is correctly selected for the conditions of the internal microclimate, you will be able to guarantee the material:

• durability - after treatment with varnish, the appearance of fungus, mold, and rotting processes is no longer possible;
• aesthetics – neutral reaction to UV radiation;
• improved performance – the outer layer protects against impacts and other types of physical impact;
• fire resistance – protected wood can withstand strong flame pressure.

Regardless of the type of varnish chosen, the lining is pre-treated various materials: drying oil, antiseptic, protective impregnation, stain or heat treatment. For self-execution This procedure uses a torch to slowly scorch upper layer each element, achieving uniform darkening.

During processing, especially coniferous species, resin is released, which gives the lining a special originality. However, now such operations are carried out much less frequently, since more effective protective agents and varnishes are available on sale, the work with which is carried out much faster.

How to choose a varnish

When choosing what to cover the lining with, you need to familiarize yourself with all types of similar products. The most popular varnishes among builders are:

• water soluble;
• polyurethane;
• alkyd;
• acrylic.

All of them are suitable for application inside residential premises, as they do not emit toxic fumes and are completely safe for the health of the inhabitants of the house. At the same time, polyurethane and alkyd types of varnishes can also be used for external treatment of structures, which makes them universal and facilitates the task of painting for owners.

This is what varnished lining looks like

Acrylic

They perfectly help wood retain its unique texture and are good choice for those who are just deciding how to paint the lining inside the house. They protect surfaces from exposure to sunlight, and the aesthetic perception of the lining only benefits from this.

Depending on the main composition, following the instructions, acrylic coatings diluted with water, alcohol or ethers, which dry very quickly after application. Acrylic surfaces do not tolerate moisture well, so when dirty spots on the walls, it is better to refrain from the desire to wash them. It is especially undesirable to use these materials in particularly wet areas, for example, in the kitchen.

Alkyd

They are no less beneficial, because they are moisture resistant and, unlike their acrylic counterparts, the surfaces coated with them can even be washed. True, without using household chemicals and abrasives. An actual advantage if small children and pets live in the house. Moreover, after completely dry the varnish becomes so durable that it can withstand some physical exercise, protecting the wood directly from chips and scratches.

The disadvantage of alkyd varnishes is bad smell while working with it and long drying time, which takes at least 48 hours. The last problem can be easily dealt with by adding a special hardener to the composition.

Polyurethane

Their advantages are difficult to overestimate, since this type of varnish protects the lining not only from problems and aging during interior lining, but climatic tests on external walls designs. This coverage guarantees:

• increased moisture resistance;
• lack of reaction to chemical components, alkalis;
• UV resistance.

Having so many positive qualities also determined the price of polyurethane varnish - it is significantly higher than other analogues.

Water soluble

All varnishes on water based, including acrylic, are characterized by quick drying and complete absence of unpleasant odors. They are so non-toxic that you can paint the lining inside a house using such compounds even without a respirator. Water-soluble varnishes are applied only to the lining located inside the house.

Example of water-soluble varnish for lining

What to consider additionally

There are several nuances, taking into account which you can create a very durable, high-quality and aesthetic coating:

1. Regardless of the type of varnish chosen, maximum strength can be achieved by applying it in 2 layers.
2. If the varnish is available for sale in two forms: translucent and completely transparent, apply the second option first. The surface will receive a certain, more saturated shade, but at the same time the structure of the wood will be preserved for visual inspection.
3. We must not forget about the protective impregnation against biocorrosion, which must be carefully treated with the lining before varnishing.
4. During operation, the varnishing agent is often stirred to maintain a uniform structure. When the first layer is completely dry, you need to sand it a little and only then re-paint the lining inside the house.

Coating the lining with varnishes does not present any particular difficulties. The owner of the house can cope with such work himself. Especially if it uses the information provided.

Wood, especially coniferous species, quickly loses its unique properties under the influence of sunlight. Therefore, surfaces finished with clapboard require immediate coating with varnish, which perfectly protects the material from negative influence environment. Experts recommend coating the lining with varnish within 5–7 days after completion installation work. Correctly selected varnish will give the material not only beautiful appearance.

Basic coating functions

Despite the fact that the tree additional processing has an attractive and aesthetic appearance, it should be coated with a special compound. When answering the question of what varnish to coat the lining with, you first need to consider protective functions coverings. What advantages does coating the natural texture of wood with a special solution provide?

1. Prevents the appearance of rot and mold.
2. Protects from exposure to direct sunlight.
3. The coating makes the material more resistant to mechanical damage.
4. The wood becomes less susceptible to rapid fire.

After installation, the lining is usually treated with a penetrating compound. This can be stain, antiseptic, protective impregnation, drying oil. After the procedure, the material loses its original appearance. In this case, the varnish coating will noticeably refresh the painted wood and improve the finish.

Choosing varnish for lining

Which varnish to choose for the lining is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Not only houses are finished with lining inside and outside. It is often used for cladding balconies and loggias. Experts often advise choosing yacht varnish for exterior work. Its main advantages are water resistance, high quality and affordable price. Yacht compositions based on polyurethane dry quickly (less than 5 hours), do not crack, have high coating strength, and are resistant to ultraviolet radiation and temperature changes. Wood coated with this composition does not turn yellow over time. Polyurethane varnish perfectly emphasizes the natural grain of wood. You can buy both glossy and matte versions.

The main aspect that must be taken into account when choosing a varnish is the purpose and type of room. Water-based and alkyd coatings are popular on the market. For example, indoors wood can be treated with the following types of varnishes:

• acrylic;
• alkyd;
• polyurethane;
• water-borne.

Alkyd and polyurethane coatings are also suitable for outdoor use, having high protective properties.

Types of coatings

Acrylic varnishes do not allow wood to lose its original color when exposed to sunlight. They are safe to use, diluted with ethers, alcohol, water (depending on the composition). The cost of alkyd varnishes varies between 750 rubles per 1 liter of coating.

The main advantages of alkyd compositions are moisture resistance and resistance of the coating to mechanical damage. But alkyd varnish has a very pungent odor and takes a long time to dry (more than 2 days). The price of varnish ranges from 500 rubles. To make the coating dry faster, you can sometimes use a hardener.

Varnish made on the basis of polyurethane has a lot of advantages that allow it to be used for both interior and exterior work. The coating has very high moisture resistance, resistance to ultraviolet radiation and chemical substances. Polyurethane varnish is quite expensive - from 850 rubles per liter.

Water-based varnishes are odorless, dry quickly and are environmentally friendly. Mainly used for interior work. The cost of the coating depends on the manufacturer: varnishes made in Russia cost approximately 250 rubles per liter, imported ones - from 400 rubles per liter.

It is advisable to apply the varnish in two layers. This will strengthen it protective properties. The color of the varnish selected for processing the lining, of great importance does not have. Some of them can be tinted, giving the coating the desired shade.

Apply varnish to the material

Before varnishing the lining, it needs to be given time to dry. It is best to apply the coating 5–7 days after finishing the cladding. Technological process here is quite simple. You can apply varnish to the lining yourself. You just have to take into account a few recommendations from experts.

First you need to prepare materials and tools:

• antiseptic;
• rollers and brushes of different sizes;
• container for varnish;
• sandpaper, fine, for sanding the surface;
• additionally: stepladder, solvent, gloves.

Before applying the composition, the surface should be cleaned by removing excess debris and dust or removing the old coating. Old varnish can be easily removed with baking soda. If mold or mildew has formed on the lining, it must be treated with a special bleaching solution.

After all defects and uneven finishes have been removed, it is covered with a layer of primer, which fills all the pores of the wood. After the primer layer has dried, an antiseptic composition is applied to the lining, which increases the service life of the wood. And only after the covering layer has completely dried, this process lasting at least a day, can the wood be varnished.

A brush made of natural bristles is more suitable than others for working with varnish, because hairs do not fall out of it during painting.

Before starting painting, the varnish should be thoroughly stirred until a homogeneous mass is obtained, so that the coating layer is uniform and free of streaks. After the first layer has completely dried, the surface is sanded. And only then can you reapply the varnish. The coating can be done with a colorless composition.

The lining, coated with two layers of varnish, performs its functions for a long time and retains its natural appearance.

Often, a special material is used as interior decoration. wood material. Lining is a natural, environmentally friendly material. It has great features and looks great too. It is often used to decorate verandas and simple ones. Therefore, special requirements are placed on the material.

After all, a tree is “alive” natural material subject to aging. It's afraid high humidity, sudden changes in temperature, various biological pests. Under bright sunlight, the unique qualities of wood are quickly lost.

the surface is coated with varnish, which ensures the safety of the material and its properties.

Those who neglect such treatment may find chips, cracks, abrasions and banal dirt on it after a few years.

What are the benefits of treated wood texture?

• Preventing appearance and rot.
• Resistance to various mechanical damages.
• Protection from sun exposure.
• Increased fire resistance
• Aesthetics.

Often the lining is processed during installation various compositions special purpose: drying oil, antiseptic, stain. Initial view the material changes slightly. Coating the top with varnish refreshes and ennobles it.

Choosing the right product

Types of varnish

How and with what to cover the tree?

Before you start applying varnish, it is first better to familiarize yourself with their varieties.

The following types are considered the most popular:

• water soluble;
• alkyd;
• polyurethane;
• acrylic.

Representatives of all these groups can be used for internal finishing works: They do not emit harmful toxic fumes and are harmless to health. What are the features and performance characteristics these funds?

Water soluble

Water soluble

Water-based varnishes are characterized by the absence of an unpleasant odor and fairly quick complete drying. They are completely non-toxic, making it possible to paint lining indoors without the use of protective equipment.

You don't even need a respirator. Such compositions are used exclusively for treating wooden surfaces.

All water-based compounds have a polyurethane or acrylic base. They may have different composition– two-component or one-component.

The latter contains only one base, while the two-component one also contains a hardener. Therefore, the characteristics of the two-component are different best performance, the coating he makes is more durable and durable.

Acrylic

These varnishes help wood perfectly preserve its unique natural texture. They will become excellent choice for finishing the surface of premises. In addition to improving the aesthetic qualities of the treated surface, they protect it from harmful effects, including from sunlight. The composition of acrylic varnishes may differ slightly, so you must carefully study the instructions.

Following it, the compositions are diluted with ether, alcohol or water. The mixture dries almost instantly after application. Surfaces treated with acrylic-containing products do not tolerate excess moisture, so if dirt appears, it is better to refrain from trying to wash it off with water. For the same reason, acrylic-based varnish is not very suitable for use, for example, in the kitchen, where humidity is usually high.

Alkyd

They have almost all the characteristics of the previous ones, but plus they are not afraid of high humidity, and even moisture itself. Therefore, the surface treated with them can be washed without fear.

The ability to wash with water is very important, especially if you have children or pets.

The alkyd varnish coating is characterized by increased strength, protecting the wood even from significant mechanical influences: It prevents scratches, chips and other damage.

Great for use as a varnish. The disadvantages of this drug are the unpleasant odor when used, as well as the rather long time required for it to dry completely. It requires at least two days. But this disadvantage can be easily eliminated by adding a specially produced hardener to it.

Polyurethane

Polyurethane is often used for parquet

The advantages of this group of varnishes are difficult to overestimate.

They not only protect the material from aging and harmful influences, giving it a spectacular appearance.

They allow it to acquire completely unique qualities that are completely uncharacteristic of the capricious natural material:

• high resistance to ultraviolet radiation;
• increased resistance to moisture;
• resistance to aggressive agents such as alkalis.

The remarkable characteristics of the drug determine its corresponding price.

Price per group polyurethane varnishes noticeably higher than that of other groups. But you can use this varnish both inside the house and outside.

The nuances of using varnish

Exist important features the use of water-soluble varnishes, taking into account which you can get a more aesthetic and high-quality result.

• Don’t forget to do a bio-corrosion treatment before varnishing.
• Any type of varnish is best applied in at least two layers. This way you can achieve maximum strength protective film on the material.
• When working, the varnish composition needs regular stirring. This way its structure will be more uniform, it will lay down easier and more evenly.

After the first layer has completely dried, the resulting surface is lightly sanded, after which another application is carried out.

Varnish application process

How to apply varnish correctly? The wood and lining must be well dried, only after this can you begin to decorate it. After covering the surfaces, at least five days must pass. There are no particular difficulties in the application process. The procedure is not at all difficult to perform on your own. But it is advisable to use the recommendations of experienced professionals for this.

What you will need for work:

• the actual varnish composition;
• container for it;
• large and small brushes and rollers;
• fine sandpaper;
• solvent, gloves, stepladder.

The surface is well cleaned, dust and dirt are removed. If there is an old coating, it must be removed. Old varnish can be easily removed with baking soda. The affected areas are treated with a disinfecting and bleaching solution. The material needs high-quality polishing. For this purpose, a special Grinder or regular sandpaper.

When all defects are removed and unevenness is smoothed, a layer of primer is applied to the surface, which fills the wood pores. After it dries, a special composition is applied, which helps to increase the service life of the wood. This is the so-called covering layer.

After about a day, no less, you can proceed directly to varnishing the house. It is better to use a brush made of natural bristles for this.

During use, individual hairs do not fall out of it, complicating the process and deteriorating the quality of work. The varnish must be mixed so that a homogeneous, uniform mass is obtained. Then it will lay down in a thin and even layer, and the coating will not have sloppy streaks.

After the initial varnish layer has completely dried, the surface is lightly sanded. After this, a second, final layer of varnish is applied, which may be colorless.

Lining is a finishing material that looks good in the interior wooden house. It is used for both residential and utility rooms. The wood from which it is made needs to be treated with protective agents. And to give an attractive appearance, they apply decorative coating. Naturally, to create a beautiful coating you need to choose the right processing products and decorative materials.

Why treat lining and how to choose the right products

Before processing the lining you should find out:

• is it necessary to apply protective covering, or you can do without it;
• in which rooms the treatment will be carried out - dry or with high humidity;
• whether to apply a decorative coating, tint or leave it natural.

Having decided, you can begin to select the impregnation and material for decorative finishing of the lining in interior spaces. You can leave the lining uncoated, but this option is suitable for people who are satisfied with the fact that the wood darkens over time. Some owners do it on purpose artificial aging by using blowtorch. After this, it not only darkens, but also releases resin, which gives the surface its individuality. It happens that bathhouse owners do not treat the walls because they use cheap lining. It will be more practical for them to change it completely after a few years rather than waste time and money on processing it.

In order to properly process the walls, you should know what functions the impregnation for the lining inside the house should perform. So, the impregnation should:

• give good protection from ignition, such qualities give wooden products flame retardants that reduce its flammability;
• protect from moisture, especially in damp areas. To do this, antiseptic agents are applied to the wooden surface;
• protect from mechanical damage (chips and scratches);
• protect from exposure to ultraviolet rays. Wood treated with agents that increase resistance to ultraviolet radiation changes its color more slowly;
• provide bactericidal protection against insects;
• give walls beautiful view. You can give the lining the desired shade using tinting. Using varnish, you can make the surface glossy, matte or semi-matte.

To give wood necessary properties Usually several compositions with the desired qualities are used.

Types of compositions - fire retardants, stains, varnishes and paints

All compositions for processing lining can be divided into two groups: protective and decorative. The first are designed to extend service life. They protect against moisture, insects, fungus, and mold. The latter give the lining an attractive appearance. The treatment must be updated regularly, as over time the products lose their properties. Processing of lining indoors is carried out with the following compounds.

Fire retardants reduce the flammability of wood. This is especially important for living rooms. If a fire occurs, fire retardants prevent the fire from spreading and help extinguish it. They are odorless and therefore harmless to health.

Antiseptic agents protect against the formation of mold and mildew. Stops the spread of existing mold. Over time, the product is washed out and evaporates, so re-treatment is required. There are bio-moisture-proofing agents that not only protect against fungus, mold, and pests, but also give the wood water-repellent qualities and an attractive appearance. They are expensive, but make it possible to refuse treatment with stain, antiseptic and varnish.

The stain performs antiseptic functions, but at the same time gives the wooden surface a tint. The most popular stains are those that impart dark shades. This product does not create a film on the surface, but penetrates into the pores of the material to a small depth. Wood saturated with stain should be varnished, otherwise the surface will look dirty. Drying oil was previously very popular, but in Lately it is used less and less. The wood quickly darkens, and after 2-3 years the surface becomes sticky. It is used for utility rooms.

Bleach is designed to remove wooden surfaces dark spots, areas with a blue tint, stripes. There are several types of such products, differing in application and effectiveness. Usually the product is applied to the surface and washed off after a certain time.

Varnishes are used if you want to preserve the naturalness and texture of wood. Use indoors acrylic varnishes, harmless to human health. The first layer is applied transparently, without dyes, and in the second layer coloring pigments are added. Alkyd varnishes are more used for floors, as they have high strength properties. They are applied to walls in places where large mechanical loads are possible. An alternative is wax mixtures that protect the wood and give the surface a semi-matte shine.

Oil paint penetrates deeply into wood, provides good protection from moisture, and is resistant to mechanical damage. Used for decorative finishing. Flaws: low vapor permeability, takes a long time to dry, loses color over time. Acrylate paint is in many ways superior to its oil counterpart: it dries quickly, does not fade over time, penetrates well into pores, gives a rich color, and has high vapor barrier qualities. It does not crack if the panels are affected by temperature changes. This paint has one drawback - its high cost.

Technology for applying protective and decorative coatings

At the finishing stage, a novice builder has to master new technologies. You need to nail the lining correctly, know how and with what to process it, and perform decorative finishing. Coating the material with the selected means is carried out in stages. Before processing, prepare the lining.

1. 1. First, it should be cleaned of contamination with a solution. For this purpose in warm water dissolve the soda. Wash the lining with this solution. If there old layer paint, for better adhesion it is advisable to completely remove the previous layer to remove cracks and peeling.
2. 2. Inspect the cleaned lining: remove mold, mildew, and treat darkened spots with bleach. Finally, the panels should be wiped with a clean rag to completely remove dirt and paint residues. If there are damaged panels, they must be replaced.
3. 3. On next stage We polish the surface. The operation is performed using pumice or fine-grained sandpaper. To avoid any unsanded areas, divide the entire wall into small areas and process them consistently. Sanding should be done evenly, being careful not to rub in one place and not to apply much force.
4. 4. The final stage of preparing the lining for application of products is priming. Apply a layer of primer to the wall using a brush or spray gun. The seams between the panels must be treated especially carefully. One layer is enough. Sometimes a painting compound is used as a primer.

By yourself or with a brush. For painting, prepare two brushes: narrow and medium - use the narrow brush to paint hard to reach places. In order for the coating to serve for a long time and be durable, you need to apply 2-3 thin layers. The painting procedure is as follows:

• mix the paint and pour it into a small container;
• dip the brush in paint up to half the bristles;
• Before applying, press the brush to the surface and smoothly move it along the panel;
• then apply the paint in the same way over the entire surface, without touching the painted areas;
• We paint corners and openings with a narrow brush.

You should start applying paint from the top to avoid drips. To eliminate shade differences, apply one coat at a time. If you need to take a break, you should leave your work out of sight. Apply the next layer after the previous one has completely dried. Finishing layer we do minimum thickness, apply with light, even movements from top to bottom.

The varnish is applied in the same way. If the product is tinted, it should be thoroughly mixed before application and stirred periodically during use. We add less coloring pigment to each subsequent layer, in this case the surface after painting will acquire a deeper and more attractive shine.

A huge number of the most popular materials are made from wood. different materials and household items. Wood is always in price and never ceases to be fashionable. This is one of the few materials that always remains in trend. Today there is a very popular style - eco.

Natural materials are not only safe, but also popular. Despite such a positive start, it is worth noting that the tree is not only beautiful and stylish material, he is also very capricious. You need to take care of it constantly if you want it to serve you for a long time and maintain its original appearance. The question immediately arises - what is the best way to treat the lining inside the house?

Methods for protecting wood products

There is no shortage of such materials on the market. Manifold various mixtures, consistencies and compositions for treating wooden surfaces and materials are sometimes misleading, and you don’t even know what’s best to choose.

When deciding on a protective mixture, you must consider the purpose of protection:

• Some compounds protect wood from fading;
• others repel moisture;
• still others protect against various types of damage.

How to treat the lining inside a wooden house in order to not only protect it from external factors, but also to make it sophisticated - this is a question that lovers of the practical and beautiful at the same time have asked more than once. Such mixtures exist and are available to everyone, the main thing is to know which ones to choose.

To process wood with your own hands, you need to know a few rules and the name of the compositions that will be needed for the process in question.

So:

• mandatory use of antiseptics;
• a primer will also be needed to protect the material;
• fire-resistant impregnations;
• varnishes of various types;
• biological oils (preferably);
• Don’t forget about the means to remove the previous coating you don’t need.

Now you know how to treat the lining indoors, you already have a list of compositions, so there shouldn’t be any problems with the search. In any hardware store and in the market in the department of goods for home and construction you can buy everything you need. The photo shows the compositions that you will need to protect the coating you have chosen.

Paints and varnishes for wood processing

Primer

One of the main compounds needed to protect the coating is a primer. This mixture is also a biological defense. It can be used for both external and internal work.

1. Even if the tree is slightly damaged, such a composition can be used, and even necessary.
2. A primer coating extends the life of any wood material.
3. Among other things, the primer gives the product a well-groomed appearance.

Decorative and protective coatings

Relatively recently, new paint and varnish mixtures have appeared on the market that not only protect wood, but also paint its surface in any color. Now, thanks to such mixtures, you can protect and create unique design in my house.

A positive point in the characteristics of such compositions is that when painted with them, the texture of the wood is visible and remains the same. This mixture already contains an antiseptic; you do not have to buy it separately.

The resulting tones are very soft and slightly matte. Temperature changes and ultra-violet rays do not affect the quality of the mixture over a long period of time. For this reason, you definitely won’t need the next treatment of the lining inside the house for ten years.

Use of scuba tanks

Some argue that it is easier to choose a different material than to process the lining indoors, but in fact this is not the case, you need to know. What to process and how to carry out this process without extra costs and problems.

Excellent for wood processing. From the name it was already possible to understand that they contain water, and to a greater extent than all other components.

A number of advantages of this material for covering wood:

• Absence of any smell;
• It dries very quickly;
• There are no organic solvents in the composition.

There is another type of scuba diving - hydrophobic. Thanks to their composition, they protect wood from moisture and repel water, which means they have a wide range of applications.
