Which covers the surfaces of the walls or ceilings in the house - it seems to be quite simple. The main thing is to decide on the choice of paint or other means that can transform the wood. However, the range of paint and varnish compositions in specialized stores is very diverse, and this is probably why painting the lining inside the house raises some questions.

Wood is traditionally characterized as a strong and durable material, provided it is properly dried and processed various compositions, including paint. These products can protect the lining from damage by insects or fungi, dirt, excessive moisture and, conversely, drying out. In addition, treating this natural facing material with fire retardants will significantly reduce its flammability.

Therefore, it is worth considering not only the coloring itself, but also the preparatory measures for this process, as well as the materials used for these procedures.

The most popular types of lining for finishing walls and ceilings indoors are those made from coniferous species, and among them, pine is considered the most affordable. This wood has some peculiarities and therefore requires an individual approach when painting it. These nuances will also be considered when detailed description process technology.

Solutions for preparing and painting wood

Almost all paints presented in the assortment are suitable for painting natural lining construction stores. However, for interior decoration it is worth choosing those that are as safe as possible for the residents of the house, both during painting and during the operation of the finish. In addition, it is important to select and protective equipment, which do not harm the ecological atmosphere in residential premises.

Since at the initial stage the lining is treated with protective agents, it is worth considering them first.

Protective means

Solutions for preparing lining for painting are designed to protect it from mold, harmful insects, the destructive effects of ultraviolet rays, as well as from excessive moisture absorption. In addition, some of them reduce the fire hazard properties of wood.

These substances, as a rule, do not change color and do not cover the textured pattern of the wood, since they are translucent. However, in this series there are also compositions that, to a certain extent, also perform an additional decorative function.

Preparation for painting natural lining is divided into several stages - cleaning and sanding the wood, priming and impregnation. For these operations, special compounds for different purposes can be used:

• are used to prevent fungal damage to wood, to “treat” and stop the growth of already existing mold stains, to protect against insects that destroy the structure of the wood. These funds are divided into two groups:

Prices for wood preservatives

wood antiseptics

— Coatings that form a protective film on the surface of the lining are used in cases where the wood will come into contact with water, for example, when lining bathhouses.

— Impregnations that penetrate into the wood structure require further additional coating in order to avoid leaching of the product, as well as due to the toxicity of some of the components of the solutions.

In addition, antiseptics are divided into four types based on the basis on which they are made:

— Products based on organic solvents have high protective properties and are suitable for wood fixed both outside and inside the structure. But they are used extremely rarely, as they are quite toxic and flammable.

— Oil-based solutions are suitable for wood exposed to static loads, as well as in difficult climatic conditions, so they are most often used for external cladding or for lining used to line balconies or loggias.

— Water-soluble products protections are used to cover internal wooden cladding for further application of water-based paints and varnishes. They are non-toxic and dry quickly, but over time their antiseptic properties decrease significantly;

— Combined antiseptics contain high-carbon and oil components. Solutions can be used for exterior or interior decoration, and are also used in rooms with high humidity, creating high level wood protection. The cost of combined solutions is significantly higher than the price of other types of antiseptics.

• Bio-moisture-proof antiseptics have, in principle, the same purpose, however, they also create a protective moisture-repellent barrier on the lining, and are also able to give it additional decorativeness, emphasizing the texture of the wood. Therefore, by using such an antiseptic, you can solve several problems at once, since you won’t have to apply products for different purposes - this will save time, since you won’t have to wait for the layers to dry. It is these qualities that make biomoisture-proof impregnations one of the most popular.

• Fire retardants - These are solutions that make wood more fire resistant. They can also be divided into two groups:

— Compositions of the first group work to block the flame, since when heated they foam and form protective layer on the clapboard.

— The second group of compounds contains salts, which, upon contact with fire, release gases that prevent combustion and the spread of flame.

The most effective fire retardants are those that contain tripolyphosphoric, orthophosphoric and pyrophosphoric acid and sodium salts.

• Biopyrenes - these are impregnating compositions with an antiseptic and fire-retardant effect, which are suitable for internal and external wood treatments. Such compositions will help reduce the time of preliminary preparation wood finishing, and often also save money, since you will need to purchase not two separate solutions, but one that will perform both main functions.

• Whitening products are used for wooden lining if there are unwanted dark or bluish stripes or spots on it. In addition to the whitening effect, such compositions also create a protective antiseptic layer that will resist the formation of mold.

Bleach products typically consist of two components that are mixed before being applied to the wood. Such solutions may consist of different chemical compounds, and some of the bleaches must be washed off from the surface of the lining after a certain time, while others do not require such rinsing. Therefore, before purchasing such funds, you need to pay special attention to this factor.

• Primers - these are solutions that can also be called protective. But in addition to these qualities, the primer gives the wood surface smoothness and good adhesion, which simplifies further coating of the lining with paints or varnish.

Primers are usually water-based and can be clear or opaque. If you plan to preserve the textured pattern of the wood, then choose a transparent primer solution. In the case where there is an intention to apply a dense decorative layer of paint, any of the primers can be used, but an opaque one will create a more even and smooth base

Transparent primers do not create stains on the wood surface. protective film– they penetrate into the structure of the material. Treatment of the surface of the lining, carried out with primers, significantly reduces paint consumption and increases the durability of the applied finish.

Varnishes – protective and decorative compositions

Some varnish compositions are also used not only as a decorative coating, but also to protect wood. They are produced at different bases:

• Oil varnishes contain natural or artificial resins, natural modified oils, as well as solvents and driers. This type of varnish, after drying, forms a fairly strong film on the surface, which gives the wood a natural ocher tint. Oil solutions are used to coat lining, floor boards and other wooden surfaces inside the house.

• Alkyd varnishes are made from pentaphthalic and glyphthalic synthetic resins with the addition of driers. These compositions are quite often also called oil-based, since oils are used in them as a solvent. However, in terms of their performance characteristics, alkyd varnishes are superior to oil varnishes, and therefore can be used for external work.
• Alkyd-urea varnish solutions consist of amyl-formaldehyde and alkyd resins. They are able to dry at normal temperatures only if they contain acidic hardeners, which are added to the mixture immediately before starting work, since after mixing their lifespan is limited. Such varnishes form a hard, durable film on the surface of the wood that is highly wear-resistant. Thanks to these qualities, alkyd-urea varnishes are well suited for interior work and not only for processing lining, but also for varnishing parquet.
• Polishes and alcohol varnishes give the surface special strength and shine, but their biggest disadvantage is that they do not protect wood well enough from moisture, so they are not recommended for use on lining installed on an unheated balcony or loggia.

The solutions are made using natural resins, so they have a high price and are not popular.

• Nitrocellulose varnish is made from cellulose nitrate and a mixture of organic solvents. In addition to them, to achieve the necessary protective qualities of the compositions, synthetic resins are added to them. This type of varnish creates a durable hard coating on the surface of the wood, which is transparent and practically does not change the color of the wood. The varnish is intended for indoor use.

• Acrylic varnishes are a water-dispersed solution of polyacrylates. The product is distinguished by its environmental friendliness and almost complete absence of odor. Also used for coating wooden coverings and products used in residential premises. However, the film formed on the surface is still not highly resistant to abrasion.
• Polyurethane varnishes are water-based, but are characterized by high strength and abrasion resistance. These varnishes are an environmentally friendly material, and if they are chosen to cover the lining, this will significantly increase the durability of the protective layer.

Polyurethane solutions are used to cover floors and other wood finishing elements indoors. These varnishes have a fairly high price, which is fully justified by their high performance characteristics.

Paints for coating wooden lining

For decorative coating of lining, compositions made on different bases are used. Some of them are universal and are used for both interior and exterior decoration, but there are also those that are intended exclusively for interior use. Therefore, when buying this decorative material, you must definitely study its main characteristics, which are usually indicated on the packaging, and also consult with the seller.

So, the following colorful compositions can be found on sale:

Oil paints are suitable for indoor lining, but they have many disadvantages

• Oil paints can be called universal, since they penetrate quite deeply into the structure of the tree, increasing its resistance to various influences external environment, making it moisture resistant. Disadvantages oil paints we can call them long drying, rapid fading under the influence of ultraviolet rays and a decrease in the breathability of wood. Therefore, it is still better to use it for interior decoration, and even then - not always.
• Acrylate paint compositions - This aqueous solutions, in most performance characteristics superior to oil-based paints that can create wood reliable protection, preserving its color. This type of solution is quite elastic, therefore it has good adhesion to the surface and does not crack or deform when temperatures change. Due to its qualities, the paint can be used for external and internal work.
• Alkyd based enamel paints used for painting lining both outside and inside the building, forming a protective glossy layer for the wood. Therefore, a freshly painted surface looks very aesthetically pleasing. However, over time colored paint tends to fade and white to turn yellow. In addition, drying alkyd paints- a rather lengthy process, which is always accompanied by a not very pleasant odor due to the organic solvents included in the composition.

• are able to preserve the textured pattern without painting it with a thick layer - to do this, they must be diluted with water to the desired consistency. If necessary, apply a thick layer of paint to the lining; the paint should not be diluted.

These are environmentally friendly solutions that do not have unpleasant odor and do not emit harmful fumes. The paint dries quickly and adheres well to the primed surface, but is still inferior in its characteristics to varnishes. Not resistant to abrasive influence.

• Silicate paints are made on the basis of liquid glass, so they have quite a lot positive characteristics. Such compositions are not exposed to ultraviolet rays, high humidity and temperature changes, and can increase the fire resistance of wood. This is an environmentally friendly material; it does not emit harmful substances and has no smell.

Due to their characteristics, silicate paints can be used for painting various surfaces, as they have high adhesion, and lining is no exception. These paints are especially suitable for wooden cladding of a loggia or balcony. The disadvantage is that in the future, if repainting is necessary, you will need to use silicate paint again - no other paint will work. Another “minus” is the rather narrow range of possible colors.

• Silicone paints are made on the basis of silicone resins, and are one of the most durable types of paint compositions, but also the most expensive. This type of paint has high performance characteristics: the created coating can withstand mechanical stress, including abrasive loads, has good vapor permeability, color stability and fading, moisture resistance and a long service life, which is about 25-30 years. In addition, silicone paints are not only able to protect wood, but also hide small defects on its surface.

• Wax paints, made on the basis of linseed oil, are a traditional material for internal processing wooden lining. These compounds give the lining a matte shine, preserving the color and pattern of the wood. This paint is especially suitable when the wood initially has a beautiful texture, which is simply a pity to hide with another opaque or translucent composition. Wax paints began to be used instead of furniture wax, as they are easier to apply to the surface and have a number of other advantages:

— penetrate deeply into the wood structure, which makes the surface water-repellent;

— do not change the natural color of the wood;

— the characteristic color of wax appears after drying and rubbing the lining with a brush;

— the paint does not contain any “chemical” solvents and is environmentally friendly pure material;

— if desired, the wax composition can be tinted to the desired shade;

— The composition is economical in consumption.

Now, after considering the basic compositions used for preparing and painting natural lining, you can move on to instructions for performing the work.

Calculator for calculating the amount of paint for lining

When calculating the amount of paint to carry out finishing works Many inexperienced consumers get confused when they take volume units as the unit of measurement. However, the density of paint differs significantly from the density of water, and a kilogram of composition does not at all mean the usual liter. As a rule, packaging is carried out, and the average consumption of paints and varnishes is measured in weight equivalent - in kilograms. The calculator will give exactly this value, taking into account a 10% margin.

One of the most popular types of wooden finishing materials is lining. It has a different profile, due to which the surface has a different appearance - from a smooth wall with small grooves, to waves different sizes. Just wooden walls They do not fit into all interiors, so there is often a need to paint the lining indoors - at home or in the country.

How to treat lining inside a house

In general, many people believe that it is better not to treat the lining indoors with anything. Maybe so, but not in every climate and room it will retain its properties for a long time. original appearance. If the level of ventilation is insufficient, the wood may turn blue; if it is exposed to the sun, it becomes dark gray.

Blue discoloration can only be combated with biological means - chlorine or active oxygen, and then definitely impregnated with protective compounds, and maybe even painted. It’s a little easier with grayed wood: by removing the top layer by sanding you will again get a beautiful color, but without UV protection it won’t last long either. That’s why they decide to paint the lining inside the house or cottage.

One more point: not everyone likes wood in the interior. It's just that sometimes people get tired of looking at her. I just want a smooth, colored surface. This also happens, and often. In this case, look for opaque paint. Select characteristic effects as desired.

The inside of the lining is painted with opaque paints also because wood in its natural color is not compatible with all styles. But sometimes you want high-tech, for example. In this case, paint with metal particles or mother-of-pearl (for example, Lignovit Platin) is suitable.

All compositions for protecting wood can be fairly roughly divided into six main groups:

1. Protective compounds. Available for exterior and interior use. Compositions for external use additionally include ultraviolet protection, which prevents or slows down the process of photoaging of wood - discoloration to gray. So if you need impregnation for the lining on the balcony, and it faces south or east, you need a composition for external work. Just note that some of them paint the surface pink or green color is the result of a chemical reaction. Read the description carefully, because the resulting color can only be painted over with opaque paints or a very dark tint.

   

2. Tinting compounds or stains. They do not paint over the texture of the wood, but give it some kind of shade. At the same time, a film is not created on the surface, the wood does not lose its properties - it remains vapor-permeable. Tinting compositions contain pigment and can be lightly or heavily pigmented. If you want to have a surface with a pronounced wood structure, take a slightly pigmented composition. You may need a lot of layers, but you can control the degree of “shading” of the wood.

   

3. Lucky. Today, water-based varnishes or aqualacs are more popular for lining walls or ceilings. They can be matte, semi-matte or glossy. Many people have the opportunity to add color and change the color at the same time. Unlike traditional varnishes, water-based varnishes do not close pores - the film on the surface remains vapor-permeable, but protects against dirt absorption. Many manufacturers add UV filters and bactericidal components. Such paints and varnishes are good for balconies or in unheated rooms with periodic visits - in dachas and bathhouses.

   

   The varnish can be glossy, matte or semi-matte, or it can give color - pigmented

4. Paints. This group includes compounds that create a dense film on the surface, through which the structure of the wood is not visible. The group is extensive, with different properties and price ranges - from traditional oil enamel to latex and acrylate enamel.
5. Wood oils. Some are transparent and some have pigment. Unlike varnishes, they do not create a dense film on the surface, but are absorbed into the fibers. Good compositions act similarly to a varnish coating, protecting against abrasion and dirt absorption. Only oils do not have a bright glossy shine - a matte or slightly shiny surface, like silk. This is a great way to preserve wood. Using specific application techniques, pigmented wood oils can highlight the texture (see below).

   

6. Wax-based compositions. There are three types of wax: solid, liquid and water. Before use, solid wax is heated to a liquid state; liquid and water (wax glaze) are ready for use. Wax protection is traditional and very effective, and new technologies make the process much easier. The disadvantage of wax is that it is quite difficult to apply evenly, but it fits well on a pre-primed surface.

This division is arbitrary: there are many mixed compounds that can be classified into at least two groups. So there are impregnations that can be tinted, and there are paints with protective properties. The difference is in the effectiveness of the protection. Impregnations primarily protect the wood, and imparting color is a secondary task. With paints it's the other way around. Their main task is to create a beautiful coating, and protection is a concomitant effect. If you immediately need good protection and high-quality coverage, take impregnation without tinting, and after drying, apply paint.

Another example of a mixed composition is oils with wax. These compositions combine the properties of both oils and wax, due to which the wood retains its appearance for a longer time.

The question of which group to give preference is up to everyone to decide for themselves. Different means solve various tasks and it is important to choose the right properties that you need first.

How to properly paint the inside of the lining: technology

To paint lining in “dry” rooms inside the house, you can use any type of paint. Here you simply decide on the requirements for decorative appearance surfaces. If the lining is dry, it can not be impregnated with protective compounds, or you can choose paint/varnish/wax with appropriate additives. You can paint it only on one side, leaving the back side untreated.

If the lining will be used in wet or unheated rooms, on the balcony, you must first soak it well with protective compounds on all sides, maybe twice. Only after the impregnation has dried can it be painted, varnished, or, in general, given decorative properties. Another point: when installing the lining on a wall or ceiling, it has to be cut into pieces. Places of cuts in damp rooms must also be coated with the composition. It is not necessary to wait until it dries, but it is necessary to process it.

There is one very important nuance, which many amateur decorators overlook. If you want to get the lining painted professional level, you need to process each board separately: sand it, paint it, dry it, and only then assemble the surface from the already painted lining. That is, mount already fully processed boards on the wall or ceiling. Only with this approach will the surface of the lining have the same color from any point.

It’s difficult to paint the entire surface of a clapboard wall well

If you paint an already assembled surface, unpainted areas remain in the grooves and recesses, making it difficult to sand large areas. You definitely won't get a perfectly flat surface. The quality of finishing in this option is not above average. It is permissible to paint a finished surface if you are renewing the paint job. This must be done at different intervals, depending on the operating conditions and the properties of the paintwork material.

Correctly, the painting technology looks like this.

There can be many layers: it depends on the hiding power of the paint and on what effect you want to get. But in any case, one rule remains: there should be little composition on the brush. The exception is impregnation or primer. They are applied with a well-moistened brush, but only those without pigment. When applying pigmented protective compositions, the rules for paints apply - the minimum required amount of the composition is well shaded.

Sometimes, even with careful rubbing of the paint, stains are clearly visible. This is not a bad paint, but the properties of wood: in some places the pores absorb better, in others worse. In order to achieve an even color in this case, the surface is first primed. You can use any wood primer or colorless matte varnish (can be water-based). After drying, the surface is sanded (yep, again) and then the required number of layers of paint are applied. Only in this case, after the first layer of paintwork, grinding is rarely required, and if necessary, then in some places, more often on a tenon or groove.

Watch the video to see how to evenly apply glaze, oil or wax.

If furniture quality painting is required, there are even more layers: first a stain is applied, then two layers of primer. After drying, it is sanded until the surface is completely matte, first with grain 280, then 320, after removing dust, it is applied finishing layer- varnish. An example of such work is in the video.

Painting wood while maintaining texture

A pronounced wood pattern can be achieved using glaze, pigmented oil or wax. These compounds apply quite tightly, almost painting over the structure of the wood fibers. Any of the compositions described above can be applied with a brush or roller.

When applying paintwork materials, take very little, first applying them in fragments along the entire length of the lining. Then, using a brush or roller, the applied strokes are shaded over the entire surface. After leaving them to soak for 5-10 minutes, to reveal the texture, take a soft, lint-free cloth and remove most of the oil. As a result, the pattern appears much brighter than in its original state: a larger amount of pigmented product is retained in the grooves, and almost none remains on the protruding parts. The result is a pronounced texture. This technique is also called brushing or texturing the lining. In interiors, wood processed in this way looks very decorative: both on the walls and on the ceiling.

The process can be observed in the video. Three samples were painted: two with the same oil with pigment, one with colorless. 5 minutes after painting, one of the pigmented blanks is wiped to reveal the design. To preserve the wood after the pigment has dried (24 hours or more, read on the packaging), the lining is coated with two layers of colorless oil (glaze, wax). In areas of intensive use, you can also coat it with matte varnish.

How to paint lining like bleached oak

It is often necessary to paint wood White color, but so that the veins are visible. They also say to create the effect of bleached oak. There are several ways:

It’s difficult to say which composition to choose - you need to try. It is advisable to paint the lining with several compositions and compare the results. Effect when used different means slightly different, but still very dependent on the wood. The reviews are also very different - some whitened with tinting, others with oil. Soils are rarely used for these purposes, but mainly because not everyone knows their properties.

Secrets of decorative wood staining: techniques and tricks

City dwellers want to preserve the natural color of wood as much as possible. For those for whom wood in the house is a boring everyday thing, paint the interior lining in some unusual color. Modern paintwork materials allow you to achieve different effects. For example, textured or brushed lining, but in two colors. This technique is often used.

Brushed lining in two colors - great choice for wall decoration

The trick is to apply two layers different color. The first layer is applied dark color, the second - light or brighter. After playing with colors and the order of their application, you can create your own version. Watch the video - how to get lining brushed in two colors.

Painting in two colors may not be the same. You can make the recesses a darker color, and only slightly tint the face (front part) or do everything exactly the opposite. You will get a striped wall made of clapboard - the effect of a slatted wall.

How to paint lining inside a house: ideas

Painting techniques and methods are great, but how? Just. There are quite a few interesting options. The designers' latest finds are a clapboard wall in a room with smooth walls. It looks creative and interesting. And most often such a wall is made using the brushing technique.

An interesting effect is achieved by combining the fittings different thicknesses— in the photo, thin boards are inserted between wide boards. Moreover, they are painted in different shades of the same color. The combination turns out interesting and fresh.

Lining is not necessarily just a flat board with small grooves on one side, which is also called eurolining. There are different profiles, including those with waves and troughs. From them you can assemble interesting walls, the relief of which is emphasized by painting.

You can assemble interesting reliefs from linings of different profiles. To make it look more interesting, highlight the reliefs or whiten them

As usual, in the interior, a lot depends on the light. Several non-standardly designed lamps - long translucent strips behind which lamps are hidden, installed in the middle of the ceiling - and the interior is completely transformed. This design can be used to decorate rooms for young people, creative rooms, etc.

You can play not only with light, but also with color: in the lighting zone, paint the lining in a more light color, emphasizing this zone in this way.

If you have good drawing skills, you can paint the lining. Just don’t forget to then cover the entire painting with colorless oil or varnish to preserve it longer. This technique can be used when

Rigidly defined clapboard panels look great in the living room and hallway. In the same vein, you can decorate the wall in the dining area in the kitchen. Only its quality and coloring must be perfect.

The honey shade of the lining is repeated on the ceiling

Treatment for a rustic-style interior can be deliberately imperfect. These are rooms with a masculine character.

The rustic style will appeal to men. In this case, painting the lining using the brushing technique is the norm. Moreover, the colors are chosen dark

As if in contrast - light walls. The lining is whitewashed and the beams are painted dark. Despite traditional materials, used for centuries, the look of such a room is modern and stylish.

An excellent combination is light walls with the effect of bleached oak and dark massive beams. It's practically a win-win option.

Lining is also used in the decoration of bathrooms. Impregnation here needs to be given maximum attention, but if it is done at the proper level, impregnation is protected from moisture, then there should be no problems. And the interior, you see, is very interesting - warm wood tones combined with bright marble are a great move.

Lining is also used for. You just need to fill it horizontally - this way you can expand the small space. And they look better in such a small area bright hues, maybe with a dark border.

Ceiling - lining, painted with light stain

Lining is an excellent finishing material, especially for a private home or cottage. It can be used to cover walls, ceilings, slopes, doors, balconies, etc. This material has excellent thermal insulation performance, beautiful appearance, and most importantly - it is environmentally friendly. The main disadvantage is fragility due to susceptibility to rotting and fungal formation.

To extend the life of the lining, it must be protected by applying an additional protective layer to its surface. It is important to decide how to cover the lining indoors so that it becomes reliable and has a beautiful appearance.

But is it necessary to cover the lining? paint and varnish materials indoors, where she is not in danger aggressive environment in the form of precipitation and temperature changes? The fact is that, albeit to a lesser extent, there is still moisture in the room, and the influence of temperature also acts. All these factors are especially pronounced in country houses that are left without heating in the winter.

Materials for finishing lining

The finishing material must perform two main functions - decorative and protective. Exist following materials, which can be used to cover the lining.

Lining without coating

Any coating to one degree or another contains harmful chemical components. Because, to keep your home environmentally friendly, it is not covered with any additional means. The wood itself has a beautiful color and texture. In addition, this way you can save on purchasing paints and varnishes.

However, in order for the lining not to darken and to serve for a long time, it still needs to be protected with additional substances. Here you need to make a choice between durability and environmental friendliness.

Oil paint coating

Most simple, easily accessible and widespread method of finishing lining. It is not difficult to buy a brush and oil paint of any color and paint the lining. What kind of paint to use depends on the wishes of the owner of the house.

Advantages:

Flaws:

Painting with water-based acrylic composition

This type of coverage considered a compromise between aesthetics and protective properties. Acrylic paint consists of a clear varnish and a tinting mixture. After double processing, the lining acquires the desired color, the texture is preserved and all protective properties are fulfilled.

Positive sides:

• beautiful appearance;
• high protective properties;
• environmental friendliness;
• versatility.

Negative:

• high price;
• a labor-intensive process of preparing material for painting.

Coating with acrylate paint

Acrylate paint is more decorative material than protective. It has a number of advantages over oil paint, but its cost is higher.

• durability;
• resistance to temperature influences;
• dye does not crack or swell;
• beautiful appearance;

• protective properties are weak;
• high price.

Processing with decorative azure

Decorative glaze is an effective protection of wood from external influences. It gives the necessary color to the material and at the same time the wood texture stands out clearly.

Advantages:

• moisture resistance;
• heat resistance;
• beautiful appearance;
• environmental friendliness;
• vapor permeability.

The only disadvantages include material cost. It is higher than oil paint, but the technical and physical indicators are much better.

Opaque enamel coating

Enamel components are practically do not differ from the components of oil paint, the whole difference is in proportions. Enamel has significantly more film-forming substance and less filler. To ensure an opaque layer of coating, triple application of enamel is performed.

Advantages:

• coating strength is higher than paint;
• higher hardness;
• better elasticity;
• abrasion resistance;
• more pleasant appearance due to the greater shine of the material.

The cost is correspondingly higher than oil paint.

Treatment with acrylic aqualac

Aqualak is water-soluble acrylic latex with additives, performing a stabilizing function. When dry, the varnish forms a very glossy, silky durable surface. It performs more protective functions, but emphasizes the natural beauty of the wood, giving it shine.

• saved appearance of the lining;
• fire resistance;
• moisture resistance;
• good adhesion;
• durability;
• economical consumption;
• simplicity applications.

Negative sides:

• high price;
• requirements for temperature and humidity in the room during work.

Alkyd varnish coating

The binder for alkyd varnish is alkyd resin, which made from wood or linseed oil. Such material is able to penetrate deeply into the wood.

Positive sides:

• good expression of the texture of the material;
• strength;
• moisture resistance;
• perfect adhesion.

• complex requirements for the indoor microclimate during work;
• long process of drying the material;
• requirements for the thickness of the varnish layer.

Processing lining with stain

Water based stain has no protective functions, but is performed only as decoration. An alcohol or solvent based stain protects the wood. This material gives the lining any shade.

Advantages:

• environmental friendliness;
• beautiful appearance;
• no odor;
• moisture resistance;
• ease of work;
• low cost.

Flaws:

• water-based stain lifts fibers;
• not alcohol based dries too quickly, and stains may form.

Bleach treatment

Wood bleaching is carried out using active chlorine. Thanks to this tool you can hide lining defects and give the material a noble white tint.

• hides wood imperfections;
• beautiful appearance;
• durability.

• low protective properties;
• probability destruction of the top layer linings.

Bactericidal treatment

Bactericidal treatment is required to protect the lining from mold, mildew, rot and various bacteria. This antiseptic has potent chemical substances. Therefore, the question arises: what is the best way to cover the lining indoors for bactericidal protection. For this purpose, there are special mixtures for interior work. An antiseptic can also perform a decorative role with the help of an antiseptic stain.

Advantages:

• high degree of material protection;
• perform an additional decorative function;

Flaws:

• harmful substances are released;
• the need for pre-treatment.

Interior decoration country house must be durable, safe and durable. And if in winter it is empty and not heated, then it is also moisture resistant, since the risk of condensation in this case is very high. Not every material can cope with such tasks, however, if you properly process and decorate natural wood lining, it will last for decades.

Depending on how you paint the lining inside your country house, it will have a different appearance: it will retain its natural pattern and shade or take on a new one. And protective compounds for impregnating wood improve its performance characteristics.

Lining in the design of a country house

Any wood material must be coated with protective compounds. Without them, the finish will quickly lose its appearance and become unusable. Paints, varnishes and impregnations perform several functions:

• Improves the appearance of the front surface of the lining;
• Prevents natural darkening of wood;
• Protects against mold, mildew and rot;
• Reduces the release of resin from coniferous trees;
• Improve water repellent properties, thereby preventing swelling and deformation;
• Reduces the ability to ignite and spread fire.

Coatings different types solve one or more problems. Therefore for best protection you have to choose several compositions at once. How to paint the lining inside the house depends on exactly what functions are assigned to the coating and what appearance of the finish you would like to achieve in the end.

All wood treatment products are conventionally divided into protective and decorative. Some of them need to be combined, others can be used independently. Ideally, primary processing should be carried out before installing wooden lining, so the products will be protected from adverse factors from all sides. If the siding is already installed and has a coating, it will need to be removed or sanded.

Note! Eurolining, if it is manufactured according to the standard, is already covered with protective or protective-decorative compounds.

Protective means

The primary objectives of these compounds are to protect the tree from pests, mold, mildew, moisture, and changes temperature regime and extending the service life of the lining and finishing coating.

Coating the lining with a protective compound before installation

Common products for treating wooden surfaces:

1. Primer. Popular base for decorative finishing. It improves adhesion, prevents moisture absorption and resin release, fills pores and hides minor irregularities. Compositions with an antiseptic additive are produced; they protect the tree from damage by mold and mildew.
2. Oil-wax. Creates a surface of a dense film that perfectly repels water. This treatment is necessary for rooms with high humidity.
3. Linseed oil. Penetrates wood deeply and hardens over time. Protects from moisture and gives the lining a distinct structure.
4. Drying oil. Once a popular processing tool. Today it is being replaced by more advanced compounds. Improves the hydrophobicity of wood, but the coating quickly changes color and sticks.
5. Bleach. The material is more often used topically, where there are defects such as blue spots or natural darkening.
6. Antiseptics. Protect the surface from pests, fungus and mold. They are also used on affected areas of the finish.
7. Fire retardants. Reduces the ability of wood to ignite and spread fire.

Oil-wax and linseed oil don't require additional processing, as they give the surface a pronounced pattern, and the color can be tinted. It is also permissible not to paint drying oil, but it will have to be renewed frequently. Primer and antiseptics are used as a base for finishing.

Decorative coatings

These compositions must be selected taking into account the condition of the finish. There are products that preserve and emphasize the natural appearance of wood, make annual rings more pronounced, and add color. Others, on the contrary, hide the design under a thick layer of color. The first ones should be used if the lining has no defects (grades Extra, A and AB) and old paint. Second, for products with numerous damages (grades B and C) and coatings that cannot be removed.

Transparent compositions for finishing wooden lining: varnishes, stain, some paints. Opaque: acrylic and oil paint, water-based.

Lucky

Acrylic, alkyd and water-based varnishes are most suitable for interior work. Completely preserve the natural appearance of wood. You can add pigment to the composition, which will give the lining a tint. The varnished surface has a glossy or matte texture. Additionally, they protect the finish from moisture, discoloration and minor mechanical damage. May contain antiseptic additives.

Varnish coating for lining

Decorative azure

Gives wood a distinct structure and any color. It does not form a film on the surface, but penetrates deeply. The material is transparent, so the lining underneath should be without significant defects. In addition to decorative, it performs a protective function.

Options for shades of decorative azure

stain

It has almost the same effect as decorative azure. Colors wood richly Brown color different shades. Stain is often used to artificially age lining. It is important to consider that it does not protect enough from moisture.

Shades of stain

Acrylic water-based translucent paint

Forms a thin layer on the surface of the wood, through which the texture and natural shade of the wood are visible. Such paints hide minor finishing defects.

Translucent paint on lining

Oil paint

Dense opaque coating. Forms a film on the surface. Can have any shade. Maintains color and integrity for a long time. This lining paint requires updating approximately every 5 years. Has a pungent odor.

Coating the lining with oil paint

Acrylic paint

A more durable opaque finish than oil paint. It has virtually no odor and dries in a short time. Can create matte and glossy finish. Its only drawback is its high cost.

Matte acrylic paint finish

Water-based

The paints are odorless and dry quickly. They form a matte or semi-matte texture. Suitable for dry rooms only.

The video shows an example of a competent combination of protective and decorative coatings for lining applied at home, without the use of special tools.

Tips for choosing a topcoat and interesting ideas

A wide selection of coatings allows you to choose absolutely any color and texture for the lining. In a country house, it is better to give preference to the most durable and unpretentious compositions that do not have to be updated frequently.

If the panels have many defects or an old coating, then thick, opaque paint is indispensable. You can improve the appearance of the base surface by removing the top layer of wood, but this is too labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Unusual combination of paint shades for lining

The colors and shades of the lining can be combined in the decoration of one room. This technique allows you to separate spacious room to zones. Decorate or diversify the design, place accents.

Color accents in clapboard finishing

Due to the color of the finish you can achieve some visual effects. Light shades They expand the space; dark ones, on the contrary, make them smaller. White ceiling looks taller than brown.

The color scheme for the lining can match the palette of shades used in the interior or contrast.

Harmonious combination color palette textiles and walls

Lining processing technology

Protection and painting of the lining is carried out in several stages. The first one is preparation. If the finish is new, then before covering the lining, it is enough to clean its surface from dust with a solution of 5 liters of water and 150 grams. soda After drying, you can apply the first layer.

If there are old coatings, sanding with pumice or sandpaper will be required. It's better to do it grinder. The goal of this procedure is to create a rough texture that will easily adhere to coatings.

Cleaning walls of old paint with a sander

If thick paints are applied to the lining, you can clean them off mechanically(a construction hairdryer and spatula, a grinder) or special chemical solutions. Both methods do not guarantee perfect result, but it's worth a try. This option is better than painting the clapboard inside the house directly over the old finish.

The coating may not be removed, but then it should be degreased. It is imperative to remove areas with crumbling paint, air cavities and clean until smooth.

If there are serious defects, such as fallen knots, it is necessary to fill the hole and clean it smooth.

Applying protection

If the coating could not be applied to an uninstalled lining, then the joints should be coated more thoroughly in order to process as much as possible large area. The composition must be applied in a thin and uniform layer. To do this, you can use either a brush and roller, or mechanical tools. If the protection is applied in several layers, then it is important to dry each of them thoroughly before painting the lining with the next composition.

Coloring

The method of applying the topcoat depends on its type. General rules carrying out work:

• Use two brushes (wide for the main part, narrow for the joints) or a spray gun;
• Painting begins from the top so that random drops do not spoil the finished surface;
• Go through one section once, in a continuous line;
• Some varnishes and paints are applied in two or three layers, each of them must dry naturally within several days;
• It is better to make several thin layers than one thick layer;
• Only painted finishes should not be exposed to UV rays or sudden temperature changes.

IN hard to reach places You can use a foam sponge for painting. It is best to apply the composition to the entire area in a short time. If you need to take a break, the joint should be placed in an inconspicuous area.

Applying paint with a spray gun

For interior decoration of a country house, lining is one of the best options. It does not require complex maintenance, and it is enough to restore the surface once every 7-10 years (depending on the type of coating). If you treat it according to all the rules and taking into account the characteristics of operation, the material will last at least 25 years.

Varnish for lining inside the house improves the appearance of the finish and extends its service life. What goals are pursued when creating comfortable living conditions?

Home is a fortress, a place of spiritual rest after a hectic day, a cozy, reliable rear. Comfort and peace can be ensured in the home only with the right choice of finishing materials and creating with your own hands an interior that matches your state of mind. Wood never went out of fashion, it was just that products made from it were improved and external processing improved.

To determine which lining is best for your home, let’s turn to specialists for information.

Interior and exterior decoration of buildings

How and why should rooms be sheathed? If we survey residents of apartment buildings about their desires, many want to live closer to nature, outside the city in their own house, work at home on the Internet remotely, and dig in their garden beds in their free time from the road.

Others will never trade for anything city ​​apartment, but create a special one, cozy atmosphere in the house, as close as possible to nature, using wooden lining for decoration. To make the lining, trees growing both locally and abroad are cut down. Pine, aspen, birch, linden, larch, oak, cedar (see) - a very small list of trees suitable for the production of lining.

What determines the choice of lining

First of all, the choice of lining depends on the room where the surfaces will be sheathed:

• In rooms with high humidity, which include a balcony (see), bathroom, kitchen and toilet, it is preferable to use plastic lining (PVC).
• The walls in the hallway, bedroom, office, living room must “breathe”, so wooden products are important there. The choice of wood type is also not in the background. Pine in a steam room is nonsense. When heated to high temperature resin begins to be released that can burn the skin.
• Plastic lining in the interior country house has the right to life. It has a huge color spectrum, allowing you to get interesting color solutions. It is easy to care for and simply dismantled during repairs, since plastic is subject to mechanical stress and its service life is not very long.
• The advantages of wooden lining include high sound insulation, the ability to retain heat, a beneficial effect on human health, and a long service life due to its high resistance to rotting after appropriate processing and painting.

Attention: Only wooden products are divided into classes “Extra”, A, B, C, where “Extra” has the highest cost and quality.

• Finishing surfaces with lining is carried out for more than one year; craftsmen recommend not saving on materials and purchasing high-quality cladding panels. This statement especially applies to the bedroom, living room, and office. Even more can be said, if you use coniferous panels of the appropriate quality, the rooms are filled with the pure smell of the forest, giving the atmosphere a constant unity with nature.
• Next you need to decide, and in different rooms. The owners have similar goals, and every owner wants to receive both outside and inside:

1. Sheathing that is resistant to moisture even with direct contact between water and wood.
2. To the strong influence of ultraviolet radiation.
3. Resistant finish to mechanical damage.
4. Processing the lining inside the house should protect the wood from insects that can cause harm. This is especially true for suburban buildings and dachas.
5. Beach wooden products– fungus and mold, there are also protective agents and compounds against them.

Unfortunately, all these wishes cannot be solved with one tool, because there is no way to connect the components. The instructions and experts offer ways to solve individual problems in order to get a unified picture of the protective properties.

What's interesting on the market

So:

• One-component varnishes water-based ones are characterized by low strength and durability, but working with them is much easier.
• Two-component varnish It contains a base and a hardener. The video in this article provides data on its use. Most often it is used for eurolining, making its protection much more effective.

Attention: The varnish consumption is determined by the brand and thickness of the applied layer. To process planed products and lining, 1 kg of varnish is required per 17 m², for sawn, untreated wood - 1 kg per 7 m².

• Regardless of the type of varnish, it is distinguished by the fact that it does not contain a solvent and you don’t have to think about how to cover the lining in the house so that an environmentally friendly atmosphere remains. Its use guarantees complete safety.
• Some may object and speak out in favor of lining without any coating at all. This option also has its positive arguments. What is uncoated lining? It is impossible to say that this is a pitiful sight. Over time, it simply darkens and many are not bothered by this fact; they simply update it after 5-7 years.
• An idea of ​​how to treat the lining inside a house gives a simple analysis of their purpose.

1. Drying oil refers to an outdated type of coating used in utility rooms. It can be noted that it copes with protection, but does not stay on the surface for long.
2. Fire retardants allow you to increase fire safety wood, reducing flammability finished products. When choosing a lining, you need to pay attention to this fact of processing in the industrial version. It is impossible to obtain the desired effect manually at home due to the impossibility of providing required pressure to the surface.
3. Bactericidal compounds have antibacterial properties and protect wood from rotting processes. When purchasing such mixtures, you need to look for a special mark on the packaging “for interior use,” which means it is water-based.
4. Water based acrylic varnishes allows you to use them at the final stage of processing. Acrylic lacquer performs two functions at once - protects the tree and decorates it. When there is a desire to preserve the texture of the lining, these are the varnishes that are used, which are applied in two steps. Transparent at first, then varnish is used with a mixture of the desired color.
5. How to cover the lining inside the house and is it possible to use synthetic varnishes?, because they are more toxic when compared with acrylic ones. It turns out that they are also used because they produce a very smooth surface with a rich shine, but more often for outdoor use due to toxicity. Toluene and xylene have the ability to concentrate in indoors and provide harmful effects on the health of the inhabitants of the house.
6. Instead of varnish, wax-based compositions are ideal for interior work.. It should be noted right away that they are difficult to apply to the surface, but their excellent protection and delightful semi-matte shine are worth all the costs and difficulties. The main thing is that the selected composition is compatible with the finishing coating.

Separately about water-based varnishes

These compounds need to be given a separate section, because they have a number of advantages.

• How do they cover the lining inside the house, if not with these mixtures? They do not contain toxic substances or smelly solvents, they are recommended for use in a children's room, and this says a lot.
• The water base prevents the treated surface from burning.
• The original shade remains unchanged for a long time, when other materials turn yellow under the influence of sunlight.
• The color of the wood paneling underneath lasts for a long time.
• If you follow the instructions on the packaging, it is easy to use and can be a pleasure to work with.
• It does not roll off the surface of the lining due to high-quality adhesion to it, which makes varnishing simple and accessible for beginners.
• Large areas can be quickly sprayed, and the water base does not allow the varnish to remain in the equipment, without contaminating it or making it difficult to maintain.
• We cannot ignore the disadvantages of water-based acrylic.

1. High cost of compounds.
2. Long drying period for layers.
3. Negative effects of changes in temperature and moisture.
4. When working in the room, the temperature must be above zero, otherwise the varnish will become unusable due to freezing of the water base.
5. Despite the fact that very high-quality varnishes (and therefore expensive) can withstand up to 5 cycles of freezing and defrosting, why do these experiments in your own home?

• Claim that everything negative properties are fatal in nature and inherent in all varnishes, it is impossible. If you follow the recommendations for their use, these compounds will be an ideal choice for wooden products.

Decorative paints for lining

Decorative paints continue the theme of covering the lining inside the house and providing reliable protection.

• Oil paints quickly penetrate the structure of wood, but dry slowly, losing color saturation over time. They are not recommended for covering all surfaces in a room, as the wood stops “breathing”.
• Acrylate paints shine and retain their attractive appearance much longer than oil paints. They surpass them in other indicators as well. For example, significant changes in temperature do not lead to cracking. The high price, which can be attributed to a major drawback of this product, does not stop connoisseurs of beauty and quality.
• The best the best option for processing lining - acrylic aqualak. There is no toxicity, no heavy metals, it does not cause allergies in the inhabitants of the house, all these qualities determine its popularity.
• From the variety of mixtures and products offered, it is clear that there are many options for treating the lining outside and inside the house. The labeling of the products offered and the place of use will help you avoid making a selection mistake.
• The photo shows a decent job, carefully prepared.

1. The surface is clean and free of contamination.
2. The surface has been polished. Good result It is obtained by wet grinding, when the lining is wetted, processed and dried well.
3. Coating wood panel primer leads to a reduction in varnish consumption.

• It is allowed to work with varnish indoors with a brush, roller, or sprayer, following the following recommendations.
• Colorless varnish is applied along the wood grain.
• Decorating varnish is sprayed, and if there is no sprayer, then a swab is used.

Attention: The tinting varnish must have a uniform shade and structure, so it must be thoroughly mixed.

• Any varnish can be diluted with plain water, except drying oil and other organics.
• Uniform layers are obtained by applying thin strokes rather than thick ones.

Surfaces will have a deep, high-quality treatment if they are first treated with a tinting varnish with a darker shade, and then enhance the impression with a transparent varnish with tinting, but not more than 10%. Each subsequent layer is applied after the previous one has completely dried.

If, after drying, the layer is additionally treated with “null” before covering with the next layer of dye, you will get a surface that can please even a master with its deep and uniform color.
