Today, lining is used quite often in interiors. It is used for both external and internal finishing works.
In most cases, clapboard finishing is found for a dacha or any country house. The photo shows various examples of such room design.

Variety of finishing materials this moment allows you to select best option for finishing any room.
In most cases, preference is given to lining, which can be made from:

• Plastic.
• Tree.

These types of lining differ not only in their appearance, but also technical characteristics.

Plastic lining

What is plastic lining? These are strips of very durable plastic that have a smooth surface and special locks on the sides for securing panels of finishing material.
Interior finishing with clapboard country house has been used for many years.

Advantages plastic lining:

• Plastic lining has excellent properties. It has high sound and heat insulation.
  All this is ensured due to the structure of such finishing material. Inside plastic panel there are individual honeycombs that run along the entire strip of plastic lining.
• This material is durable and does not rot. It will never harbor a variety of bugs that can disrupt the structure of the plastic.
  The service life of plastic lining is quite long. As a rule, it is at least 15 years.
• Do not forget that plastic is a moisture-resistant material and is not able to be exposed to climatic and weather conditions.
• Also it does not burn or lose original form exposed to direct sunlight. True, this largely depends on the manufacturer of the finishing material and its cost.
• Plastic lining is frost-resistant and very easy to install. There are very big choice colors and sizes.
  You can use plastic lining not only inside a country house, but also outside. Use it on wall surfaces or ceilings.

Installation of plastic lining

Finishing a dacha with plastic clapboard is a fairly simple process. You can do it yourself and without resorting to the help of specialists in this field.
For this you will need:

• Plastic lining.
• Screwdriver or screwdriver.
• Drill.
• Hacksaw or jigsaw.
• Construction stapler.
• Level.
• Hammer.
• Wooden boards and bars.
• Self-tapping screws for wood.
• Dowels.
• Starting strip for mounting plastic.

Preparatory work on the surface for installation of plastic lining:

• The surface must first be cleaned using improvised means or a household vacuum cleaner.
• After this, it is checked for any unevenness or loose plaster.
• If there is one, then it is tapped with a hammer and removed from the surface.

Interior decoration of the house with painted clapboard

Wood, as you know, is a universal material and remains so, regardless of its scope of use and processing options. Particularly relevant is the use of wood in construction, in particular in cladding walls inside the house. Thanks to this material, you can create a favorable microclimate, comfort and beautiful interior in your home.

Application

More and more residents of private houses are choosing the interior of walls made of lining inside the house. This is explained not only by the comfort and magnificent beauty of the interior, which are achieved through the use of wood, but also due to the presence of certain properties that the lining has.

Among them:

• Excellent sound insulation;
• The surface does not require further leveling;
• A wonderful aroma of wood that will appeal to all residents;
• Biological features and high environmental friendliness of the tree;
• Different methods of laying lining, as well as its different widths and others, allow you to visually change the proportions of the space.

Let's say a few words about the properties of lining to change space:

• To begin with, it is worth noting that any decorative lining for interior decoration - these are wooden daughterboards, the width of which is usually 8.8 cm, this in turn is the standard working size. The length of the slats will vary (from 1 to 6 meters), their variation depends on the dimensions of the room and installation methods. Before purchasing sheathing material, it is necessary to make accurate preliminary measurements;
• Also important point- a method of laying slats on walls. They can be located vertically or horizontally. The horizontal position expands the space of the room, while the vertical laying increases the height of the room.

Classification by variety

The classification of lining directly depends on quality indicators, according to which the material is usually divided into 4 grades, which, in turn, determines the price of the product.

In this case, it is not worth saving, but buying too expensive lining may turn out to be a pointless waste of money. The most common type on sale is 4: “Extra”, followed by grades “A”, “B” and “C”.

It is difficult to imagine a type of wood from which it would be impossible to make lining, and the quality of the finishing material will directly depend on the type used.

In Russian construction market The following types of wood are commonly used:

• Pine;
• Birch;
• Larch;
• Ash and other options.

However, when approaching the choice of the type of wood from which the lining is made, one point should be taken into account - all of the above types of wood are suitable for carrying out interior decoration clapboard house.

Important! It is worth considering some physical characteristics of the breeds, for example coniferous varieties are not suitable for decorating a bathhouse, because elevated temperature resin will begin to release from this material.

Step-by-step finishing with clapboard

If you want to learn in detail how to sheathe the inside of a house with clapboards, you should study the step-by-step algorithm of the work process. It is not difficult to carry out this procedure with your own hands; a special video and instructions will help you, which will tell you step by step how to carry out wall cladding.

The initial stage is the choice of the method of lining arrangement, horizontal or vertical. The choice in this case should be dictated by the size of the room and the taste of the owner. For a vertical arrangement, the slatted frame is located horizontally, the opposite arrangement is for horizontal laying of the lining.

You must first prepare the slats (or buy them); you can cut boards for them, the width of which is from 25 to 30 mm. Required condition– the material must be dry.

Frame installation

The main condition for installing the frame is to align it in one plane. The first rail for horizontal installation should be installed strictly vertically, using a plumb line. The rail can be secured using self-tapping screws or regular nails.

We move to the opposite corner, where the installation of a similar rail is required; several nylon threads are pulled between them to create a single plane. Then, along these threads, all frame elements are installed.

Tip: The distance between the slats is strictly maintained in the range of 50 to 60 centimeters; the lathing after installation requires treatment with an antiseptic.

Fastening the lining

The main rule for placing lining of horizontal type of masonry is that the groove should be located downwards and the tenon upwards. This will prevent moisture from entering the groove if it forms on the walls. After all, the accumulation of moisture in the grooves will lead to loss of appearance of the cladding, as well as to the formation of mold, which is hazardous to health.

The lining can be assembled both from the ceiling and from below, from the floor; this moment is dictated solely by the desire of the owner. However, it is advisable to leave the lining in the room where it will be installed for a day so that the wood can adapt to future conditions.

You can attach the slats to the frame using nails driven into the groove part; here you should definitely use a tool such as a hammer (photo), or use a large nail.

Back wall The groove requires special attention; it is important that it does not crack during installation. Moreover, a small gap (1-2 mm) is allowed between the elements; this will allow you to adjust the shape of the lining in case of deformation of the wood due to high humidity in the room. On the picture - ceiling plinth, hiding all the irregularities The assortment of stores is very voluminous

Sometimes the lining is simply varnished if this room does not differ in any conditions. In case if we're talking about about the walls of a bathhouse or sauna, the use of protective equipment, which can not only prevent Negative influence moisture, but also protects against temperature changes.

Finally

When wondering how to clapboard the inside of a house, it is not at all necessary to resort to the services of specialists. You can do this work yourself using our guide.

Finishing work is always associated with dust and dirt. Repairs take a lot of money and time, and the result does not always satisfy the owners. Lining is practical and environmentally friendly material, with which you can quickly decorate a room.

To cover an apartment with clapboard, you won’t need to spend a lot of time and building materials to level the walls and ceiling. The material looks neat and attractive, is an additional thermal insulation material with which you can create flat surface. In addition, it is environmentally friendly.

Varieties

Before covering a room in a country house with clapboard, as in the case of a city apartment, you need to decide what type of clapboard will be used. Each type of material has certain advantages and disadvantages.

The following types of lining can be purchased on the construction market:

• plastic;
• wooden;
• from MDF.

Considered the highest quality natural material- made of wood. However, it may not be suitable for all rooms. For example, for a bathroom in which it is always maintained high level humidity, it is better to choose inexpensive plastic that does not collapse with constant contact with moisture.

Advantages

A children's room lined with clapboard looks simple and versatile. There is no need to decorate the walls with other materials or glue wallpaper. The panels are easy to assemble, forming a smooth surface, and all fasteners are hidden inside the structure. If there is a gap between the material and the wall, then communications can be hidden in it.

Plastic panels have the following advantages:

• moisture resistance;
• dirt is easily washed off with a sponge;
• you can purchase material with different designs and patterns;
• low cost.

Material from natural wood differs in higher indicators of strength, environmental friendliness, and reliability. The lining has pleasant aroma, which creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the room. MDF is an equally durable material. Wood sawdust not harmful to humans. However, in the manufacture of such panels, synthetic resins are used, which can release toxins.

Minuses

Rooms lined with wooden paneling also have many disadvantages. Firstly, although the material looks attractive, it is boring and the same type. The only way you can freshen up your interior a little is by painting the wood panels.

As for plastic, it is unsafe from an environmental point of view and is not durable enough. The plastic panel is easy to deform. Natural wood material quickly deteriorates when constantly exposed to moisture, is prone to the formation of fungus and mold, and wood is expensive.

MDF panels are also subject to rapid destruction. Products made from such material are more original and varied, but panels made from wood shavings last much less than similar products made from natural wood.

Important nuances

Lining can be made from different breeds, has different lengths and widths. Before you proceed to purchasing the material, you need to not only take into account the features of the room that you plan to decorate, but also the conditions in which the panels will be stored:

• products are not removed from packaging before work begins;
• store them on a special substrate in a horizontal position;
• the room should not be damp;
• Products should not be placed in direct sunlight.

It is also important to remember that the material has an expiration date, and you need to familiarize yourself with it before purchasing. Calculations are carried out in advance and a diagram is drawn up. You need to purchase lining with a margin of at least 10%.

How to prepare the material?

How to properly line a room with clapboard so that there are no problems in the future? To do this, you need to properly prepare for finishing works. You need to prepare the material and walls for them.

The lining must undergo the following processing:

High-quality processing of the material helps not only to improve the aesthetic characteristics of the material, but also to extend the life of the panels. If you don’t want to engage in such manipulations, you can purchase already processed material, but it will cost much more.

Preparing the room

Before covering a room in an apartment with clapboard, you need to prepare the walls for work. If you skip this step, then over time the panels may not withstand constant contact with moisture, and errors will have to be corrected.

If there is fungus on the wall, it needs to be treated with an antiseptic. After this, the walls will become resistant to fire and mold. A prerequisite for the preparatory stage is the use of a water-repellent solution.

Additionally, you can lay a layer thermal insulation material. Can be used as insulation mineral wool, and polystyrene foam will perfectly protect the room from extraneous sounds. To protect against steam, a vapor barrier film is used.

Mounting methods

How to cover a room in the country with clapboard? There are many mounting options and materials with which you can carry out the work. Small planks are attached to a special frame, and the fixation can be external or hidden. Decorative screws, ordinary nails, clamps and staplers can be used for work.

Regardless of what type of fasteners will be used, all work must be performed as carefully as possible. Otherwise, chips and cracks may appear on the wood, which will ruin appearance panels.

The simplest mounting method is through. All work is carried out as easily and quickly as possible. Self-tapping screws are fastened through the front part, markings are first made and holes for fasteners are drilled. This is necessary to prevent the wood from cracking. The self-tapping screw is tightened so that it “sinks” a little into the wood.

Then the fastening site is either covered with special plastic plugs or puttied. If you line a room with clapboard using exactly this method, it may not look the best.

The most attractive option is the use of decorative carnations. However, they are very fragile and must be handled with extreme caution. Hidden nails that do not have a head are very popular. They are hammered in at an angle, so the fasteners are invisible.

If the panels are laid from top to bottom, you can cover the room with clapboard using staples. However, for this you need to purchase a professional stapler. When the lining is thin, for example, in the case of plastic material, you can use special clamps. They are invisible, and installation is carried out as quickly as possible.

Installation of sheathing

When covering a room with clapboard with your own hands, first draw up a diagram and only then securely fix the grid for fastening the panels to the wall. The reliability and quality of the entire structure depends on it. There are a few things to keep in mind when doing the job: important rules:

• The wall must be dry; the timber for the sheathing is treated with water-repellent and fire-resistant impregnations.
• The slats are placed perpendicularly wood panels.
• The distance between the slats should be approximately 45 centimeters.
• Be sure to leave a small gap between the floor and ceiling.
• Using a professional construction level, check the evenness of the frame.

Installation of lining

Work begins by bringing the boards into the room and leaving them there for 1-2 days. This is necessary so that the lining gets used to the microclimate in the room. Otherwise, the products may be slightly deformed. It is important to carry out work in a warm room with low humidity.

Most often, installation is done horizontally. In this case, the first panel is placed so that the tenon faces upward. Work begins from the corner of the room. The very first steps must be carried out with building level to prevent the occurrence of unevenness. After installing the first element and checking it for level, the remaining panels are attached. First they are grooved and only then fixed.

To sheathe a room with clapboard vertically, proceed in exactly the same way. All actions are repeated, only changing the position of the panels. For the vertical method, it is better to use wider boards, then the finish will look more attractive. Experienced workers can install the lining in just one day.

How to arrange corners

Many people wonder what a room lined with clapboard looks like. Photos of examples of work are in our article. Such a room has a harmonious, neat and modern look. However, the overall picture can be spoiled by ugly and poorly processed corners.

To solve the problem, you can purchase in advance from hardware store special “boats”. These products are specifically designed for finishing corners. They will perfectly hide the joint and crack.

If planed timber was used for finishing, then there is no need to buy special skirting boards. The material is securely and tightly attached to the bars, making the corner look more attractive and professional.

Final stage

After the lining is securely fastened, you can move on to the decorative component. Such material must be coated with varnish, which will extend the life of the wood and make it more attractive.

The lining must first be degreased; there should be no dirt, dust, or soap stains on it. To apply the varnish, use a regular paint brush. First, it is recommended to carry out preparatory impregnation with stain, after which the varnish is applied in two layers (or even three).

How to update a room lined with clapboard? To do this, you can simply paint the walls of the room with paint. If we are talking about youth room, you can choose even the most extreme shades. If there are chips or cracks in the wood, they are masked with wooden putty, the material is painted and varnished. As a result, the room becomes modern and stylish. You can also paint a beautiful drawing or pattern on the wall.

Instead of a conclusion

So, we found out how to sheathe a room using a material such as lining. Experts note that it is high-quality and relatively inexpensive construction material. It is easy to work with, and even a beginner can carry out all the work. In this case, there is no need to carry out dusty and dirty work, take a long time to level the surface, prime and putty it. All imperfections are hidden inside the structure, while the walls look perfect.

Lining in Lately began to be often used for wall cladding. This finishing method has gained popularity due to its ease of installation and inexpensive price. There are several types of lining, differing in installation method, resistance to damage and other technical characteristics. In our article we will tell you in detail about all the types, which one is better to choose for finishing a house or cottage. We will also provide photos for clarity.

Types for interior decoration

As mentioned above, there are many types of lining for interior wall decoration. It differs in the materials that were used in its production, installation method, size and, of course, price. Let's take a closer look at each type.

Wooden

Wooden lining looks like a thin board. Made from wood waste and is mainly used for interior decoration of room walls. The service life of such material is quite long and averages fifteen years. It can be increased if you pre-treat the surface with an antiseptic, which will prevent rotting of the wood and protect the coating from harmful bacteria.

Wooden lining for walls also comes in different types, depending on the type of wood that was used in the production of products. These are mainly coniferous and deciduous wood varieties.

Wooden lining for interior wall decoration can be used for almost any room, with the exception of a bathhouse or sauna, since high temperatures resin will be released. The following types of wood can be used for production:

Also, wooden lining for walls comes in different classes. It determines the quality of the product and, of course, its price. There are such classes:

Plastic

The advantages of this type of interior decoration of the walls of a house include an increased service life, averaging thirty years, ease of installation, protection from corrosion and a fairly reasonable price.

This material can also be used to hide communications and for interior decoration of almost any room.

The main advantages of plastic wall lining are:

Varieties of lining forms

According to this criterion, lining for a house may also vary. Let's look at the main forms of this finish:

Do-it-yourself lining installation

If you decide to do the installation yourself, be sure to use our recommendations below.

Installation methods

Before you get started, first decide what type of installation you want to use: horizontal or vertical. When choosing, rely only on your personal preferences, since there will be no special differences other than the location of the material.

Attention! When choosing horizontal installation, the slatted frame will have to be filled vertically. In the case of vertical laying of the lining, the frame is attached horizontally.

For the frame, you can purchase ready-made slats or create them yourself. To do this, you will need dry boards that will need to be cut. The thickness of the slats of the future frame should be no more than three centimeters.

In the next photo you can see two types of installation internal lining.

Frame installation

Installation must be done in one plane, do not forget about this. Professionals advise installing the first rail vertically in the corner of the room; to do this, use a plumb line and secure it to the wall with nails.

Next, install the rail in the opposite corner and stretch a thread between them, which will determine the plane of the surface. The thread will also help expose the remaining frame. When installing, keep in mind that the distance between the elements should be about fifty-five centimeters.

Before installation, do not forget to treat the frame with a special antiseptic. Check with the seller which antiseptic is suitable for your type of lining.

The photo below shows the frame installation process.

Installation of lining inside the house

When choosing a horizontal installation type, remember that each component should be placed with the groove down, and the awl should be at the top. If you do the opposite, the moisture that will form on the coating will simply ruin the material. will appear a large number of mold and possible fungal development.

The lining must be fastened using nails that are carefully driven into the groove. However, be careful not to crack the material. We also recommend using a finisher. Leave a small gap between the seams, approximately two millimeters in size. After the work is done, do not forget to install baseboards for the floor and ceiling.

The final stage will be varnishing. This is a necessary measure that will protect the surface from rotting and the formation of harmful bacteria.

The following photo perfectly illustrates how to install the coating.

Eventually

As you can see, decorating walls inside a house with clapboards with your own hands is not an easy job. The main thing is to follow the basic rules and instructions and then everything should work out for you. It is also extremely important to use high-quality lining for interior decoration, which will provide long term operation. With the help of the photos that were used in the article, you can understand in more detail the details of such work. We recommend watching a special video to understand the process of installing lining with your own hands:

Lining is a practical and aesthetically attractive option for finishing premises for various purposes. Visually, it represents slats that have a spike on one side and a notch on the other. In this way, the slats are connected to each other during the installation process. Depending on the material used, both internal and external surfaces of premises can be finished with clapboard. Universal characteristics allow the material to be used for covering walls, ceilings, and floors. But the main thing is that anyone can decorate the inside of a house with clapboards with their own hands.

The main thing is to clearly understand what to do and what material to use. Ten years ago, this finishing option was chosen only for a bathhouse, and in a city apartment, as a rule, for a loggia or balcony. Modern design trends make it possible to use lining in premises for any purpose and even for exterior finishing buildings.

Advantages and disadvantages of materials

Wood, plastic and MDF have both advantages and disadvantages:

material	dignity	flaws
Tree	Naturalness, environmental friendliness, natural beauty, combination with others finishing materials, strength	Fire resistance, susceptibility to moisture, rotting without timely treatment
Plastic	Aesthetics, minimal maintenance, does not require additional periodic treatment, high moisture and fire resistance	Strength, low resistance to mechanical damage
MDF	Imitates the texture of natural wood, large selection color palette, combination with other finishing options	Moisture resistance (absorbs moisture well, swells and loses its appearance)

Types of material

Depending on the materials from which the lining is made, it can be divided into three types:

• wooden
• plastic
• MDF panels

Tree

For the manufacture of wooden lining The most commonly used wood species are:

1. Pine. The most affordable option.
2. Larch. Compared to materials such as pine, it has more high performance, while not much different in price.
3. Oak. Generally recognized as a premium material, which is distinguished by strength and durability.

Birch, ash and other types of wood are also used for manufacturing, but not as widely as those listed above. As for quality, there are 4 types of wooden lining:

• "Extra"
• Class "A".
• Class "B".
• Class "C".

The choice of type of lining for surface finishing depends on:

• Room assignments. For interior decoration main criterion– environmental friendliness. For exterior finishing - the right protection against aggressive influences external environment. Decorating the inside of a bathhouse with clapboards with your own hands requires the use of the highest quality materials.
• Installation method.
  • Vertical is the most common, as it protects the joint of the lamellas from water flowing in, and visually makes the ceilings of the room higher. For the bathhouse is the best option, since the condensate does not stagnate and flows down.
  • The horizontal installation method is the easiest. Hides imperfections on the wall surface. Most often used for exterior decoration.
  • Herringbone method. Labor-intensive and requiring precise calculations. However, it is economical, as it allows the use of even very short elements. Finishing a loggia with clapboard using the herringbone method is often used by craftsmen when the cladding area is small.
  • Combined. Combines the methods listed above. Allows you to create complex patterns. Requires serious training of the master.

Plastic

Plastic lining is made from polyvinyl chloride. This material has a beautiful appearance and is environmentally friendly. Ideal for exterior decoration, as it can easily withstand the effects of aggressive environmental factors (it is not afraid of moisture, does not fade under the influence of sunlight). However, it is not advisable to use it in places with heavy pedestrian traffic due to susceptibility to mechanical stress.

Replacing a damaged element is not difficult, but if there is a high risk of accidental damage, it may be necessary frequent repairs. Indoors it is used for finishing ceilings and walls of rooms with high humidity(baths, showers, swimming pools, catering units, etc.)

MDF lining

MDF lining is made from wood chips. The manufacturing technology is a process of hot pressing of material under high pressure. As a result, lingin is released from the shavings, reliably holding all the components together into a single whole. From chipboard and fibreboard process MDF manufacturing characterized by the complete absence of the use of any adhesive solutions.

Externally, this material is almost no different from panels made of solid wood, but at a much lower cost. In addition, MDF boards are lightweight and easy to use, last a long time and do not require special care. Often used interior trim with MDF clapboard country house photo interesting ideas designs can be seen both on the Internet and in print publications.

Installation work

If you decide to decorate a balcony or an entire house with clapboards yourself using step by step instructions– go for it, because it’s quite possible to cope with such work on your own.

In the process of installing lining there are main stages of work.

• Choosing the method of lining arrangement (vertical or horizontal). It depends on the wishes of the owner and the characteristics of the room. The slatted frame is stuffed perpendicular to the direction of laying the lamellas.
• Preparation of materials for finishing.
• Installation of the frame. We perform it in one plane using a level and plumb line. We first strengthen the leading slats, then the remaining slats at a distance of 50 - 60 cm from each other with self-tapping screws or nails. The installed sheathing should be treated with an antiseptic.
• Before fixing the lining, insulate the wall by securing the insulation and vapor barrier to the slats with a stapler.

• Fastening the lining. We start installation from the corner at horizontal mounting and from above - when vertical. The fastening of the first lamella must be taken responsibly. Set it level, without tilting. First, the board is fastened along the edges, then in the middle. The lining is reinforced with the tenon forward. The tenon of the next slab should fit into the groove of the previous one. Constantly check the evenness of the installation using a level.
• Final works. It's time to install skirting boards and decorative strips. We treat the lining with a protective primer, sand and varnish the panels.

Use small tricks in your work:

• To prevent the lining from bending or twisting with a screw, it should be printed, folded into piles and laid out with pre-prepared boards, secured in the middle and edges with tape and left in this position for a week.
• To prevent the light-colored lining from becoming dirty from the grease of the clamps and metal dust, they are wiped with a dry cloth before work.
• To prevent the lining from deforming in rooms with high humidity (saunas), it is best to fasten it with self-tapping screws (if you screw it under the cut of the wood, they will almost not be visible).
• It is better to sew up the lining from the corners towards the door or window. If a small piece is not enough for you, then near the openings you can discreetly seal it with an additional piece or cover it with door trim.

Lining is unique facing material. At making the right choice material and carefully executed installation, this finish will last for many years, creating stylish interior and comfort in the room.
