Sheathing of walls with clapboard on the crate. The subtleties of fastening eurolining Photo gallery: different types of material by section

Clapboards are wooden facing boards that can be used to transform any interior. It is often used both for wall cladding and for exterior cladding of a house. The work of decorating walls with clapboard is simple and accessible even to a non-professional, but for this you need to know the basic subtleties of installation. When using lining as a finishing material, a beautiful and even surface is obtained without significant financial costs. In addition, it has good soundproofing properties. In this article, we will talk about how to properly sheathe the walls of the room with clapboard.

Do-it-yourself lining installation

When working with lining, you do not need to pre-align the walls with putty and plaster.

Frame manufacturing

First of all, you need to make a frame. Wooden bars with a rectangular section of 15x30 mm or 20x40 mm are suitable for it. The choice of their thickness will depend on the degree of unevenness of the walls.

If the surface is absolutely flat, then slats with a thickness of 10 mm to 15 mm are used. They can be attached to the wall with glue or nails. They should be located in increments of 50 cm - this will ensure air circulation between the base and the cladding. Wooden lining has high hygroscopic properties, therefore, waterproofing must be applied along the bottom of the wall to which it is attached.

For walls with an uneven surface, the bars are taken with a larger section. They are fastened with bolts, dowels or screws. During the installation of the frame, on uneven walls, it is necessary to use a plumb line and a level that will help track its vertical and horizontal. If necessary, thin wooden wedges are used, which ensure that all the bars are in the same plane.

If work is planned to insulate the room, then the frame should be made of bars no thinner than 50 mm. In this case, heat-insulating material will be laid in the space between them.

When attaching the frame around windows and doors, they must be circled with bars. This is done so that the ends of the slats are mounted on them, and not on the door and window frames.

Various lining installation technologies

After the base is mounted, you can start lining the walls with clapboard. In total, there are several methods for mounting the lining to the frame:

• with a stapler or nails. In this case, work is performed in any direction. When using nails, you will need a hammer to completely drown the hats in the wood;

• with the help of special staples - kleimers. This method is only suitable for mounting thin lining, which is used for interior work. Kleimers are attached to the wall with nails or self-tapping screws. Each next bar is joined to the already fixed one, thereby closing the fastener. In order to close the caps of the screws at the last bar, a dowel is used.

• when using planks with a wide internal latch that can be attached to nails, screws, clips or paper clips. This way of placing the lining is made both from the floor to the ceiling, and from the ceiling to the floor. To do this, before installing wooden planks, holes are drilled from the side of the spike equal to the size of the screw head. It is in them, when mounted to the frame, that self-tapping screws will be screwed. After completion of work, all protruding parts should be cut and sanded

Thanks to a wide variety of clapboard cladding technologies, you can choose the appropriate finishing method for any surface.

Tips to help when decorating a house with a clapboard with your own hands

• Regardless of the height of the walls of the room and the length of the plank, the most practical is the docking method. This clapboard sheathing technology creates a rigid connection even in the absence of a backing bar.
• Before mounting the lining near sockets and switches, they should be de-energized and dismantled.
• It is advisable to cut the edge of the first plank and install it in the corner, checking the vertical with a plumb line.
• It is important to ensure free air circulation between the lining and the wall. To do this, for the duration of the work, thin wooden slats are nailed around the entire perimeter of the floor and ceiling.
• When hit with a hammer, it is necessary to use a wooden plank, which will soften the blow and avoid damage to the lining.
• With a vertical arrangement, lining should be sheathed from left to right.
• You can close the upper and lower sections of the planks using a carved plinth, which will not interfere with the free circulation of air.
• After the wall decoration is completed, all planks must be covered with several layers of varnish.

How much does it cost to sheathe a room with clapboard

When decorating walls with clapboard, the price of work is 300-400 rubles per square meter, which is equivalent to the price for the material. Therefore, you should stock up on knowledge of how to fix the lining to the wall and independently perform all the work on its installation. This will halve the cost of facing the room.

But if you decide to hire professional workers, you need to take into account a number of nuances:

• with a small amount of work, the price per square meter will be above average;
• the tree needs additional processing: plastering and varnishing. You will have to pay extra for this separately;
• for large volumes of work, there may be an individual discount.

The total cost of lining a house with clapboard will depend on the quality of the material from which it is made. The variety depends only on the presence of natural wood defects and shortcomings that appeared during the production process. There is no difference in the technological process of production of different types of lining.

When choosing it, you should also take into account the characteristics of the wood from which it is made. So, material from coniferous trees can be used for outdoor and indoor work. And hardwoods, except for aspen, can be used exclusively for interior decoration.

Interiors with lining walls

Most often, lining is used for the interior of country houses. It is perfect for rooms in Provence or country style. With the help of lining, a special home comfort is created, and the environmental friendliness of the material inspires the choice of appropriate furniture and interior items.

Some believe that there is no difference between lining and eurolining - and this is an erroneous assumption. In fact, these concepts have as many similarities as there is a difference, just one, but it can be called significant.

The fact is that eurolining, unlike ordinary wood panels, is made according to European standards, namely DIN 68126. Such panels are high-quality, waterproof and durable material compared to analogues, which are carefully checked during manufacture.

Instruments

It is possible to mount eurolining on your own, there is nothing particularly complicated in this process.

The list of tools needed to work with lining:

• fasteners of a closed type (these include kleimers);
• , used for fastening hidden fasteners;
• perforator, drill, jigsaw, hammer;
• level used throughout the installation process.

Calculation of volume and area

Important! If in your calculations you use the real width of the material, and not the working one, then the error of such calculations will be more than 5%.

We install eurolining

To the question - how to properly fix the eurolining, you can be answered by the instruction, for the implementation of which you will not need any additional knowledge and skills, the main thing is to go exactly according to the points and follow them without deviations.

If you find it difficult to take advice by ear, and visually you perceive better, then watch the video, which shows the entire process of installing wood panels in detail.

Preparatory process

If you decide to install and create a wooden structure with your own hands, then you should know some rules that will help you quickly cope with the task.

To start:

1. run all the electrical wires and wiring that are necessary to provide electricity to the room or room, place them in special corrugations. They are made of a material that does not burn, this will ensure the safety of living in such a room;
2. Do not forget that any finishing material needs to be acclimatized, which means that the material must be brought into the room where you will carry out construction work a day before the start of the work process.

If the question arises - how to fix the eurolining, then in the instructions you will find all the answers, including the list of fasteners that will be needed for such a process. It should also be taken into account that the sequence of arrangement and direction of the panels affects the appearance of the entire structure.

Eurolining can be located:

• horizontally,
• vertically,
• diagonally,
• combined location.

Advice! If you visually want to increase the volume of space in the room, then on the ceiling the material should be located along the window.

We install the crate

1. The crate is made of small bars, on which, in consequence, it will be attached;
2. The material of the bars does not matter, the main thing is that the tree is impregnated with protective compounds for the durability of the entire structure;
3. The frequency of fastening the battens of the crate should not exceed 0.8 meters;
4. Checking all fasteners should be carried out constantly using the building level (photo below).

The crate is installed depending on how the eurolining is attached:

• If the eurolining is located vertically on the wall, then the crate must be horizontal;
• If the sheathing material is mounted on the wall horizontally or diagonally, then the crate must be vertical.

We insulate the walls

To make the room that you decide to sheathe warm, you can do it with your own hands. Insulation must be installed before you begin the installation of eurolining - between the wall and the crate.

In the event that the room must be isolated from water and moisture, it is necessary to use, in addition to cotton, a special film that will serve as protection against water and moisture. The photo below shows how to use it.

Hidden fasteners

Fastening eurolining can be done with various fasteners: nails, kleimers, self-tapping screws. The best option of those listed are kleimers, because this type of fastener is considered hidden.

Also, the advantage of the selected element is that the fasteners for eurolining are completely protected from rust, because the material from which it is made does not lend itself to such a process as corrosion.

If we consider the cost of all fastening materials, then we can say that the price of kleimers is the highest, but the result with the use of such elements is better.

Do not forget! In the event that the eurolining is fastened horizontally, then the spike on the panel should be at the top, but not vice versa.

Lining is an excellent versatile material for the final finishing of ceiling surfaces, interior and exterior walls. Such a sheathing is also perfect for finishing door panels in combination with a similar type of platbands. Regardless of the selected objects for cladding, the panels are fixed every time according to the same pattern.

What is particularly impressive is the ease of working with this material. You can easily deal with clapboard lining on your own.

But first, you should always use the tutorial. This can be an instruction for mounting the lining with your own hands.

Using instructions

Detailed instructions are one of the best assistants in the process of learning any business. In construction, the prices of professional teams for work are quite high. Doing something yourself is profitable, first of all, from a financial point of view. Especially when it comes to simple processes. Wood paneling falls into this category.

For better understanding, it is customary to use illustrated tips. In this case, a photo of the installation of the lining is suitable as an additional visual material. And of course, one cannot ignore the numerous video materials that the Internet is so rich in.

It is important, using all the educational materials, to study all the details, to master the technology. Then, being already confident that no problems will arise, you can safely begin work.

Stages of sheathing

Do-it-yourself step-by-step installation of lining with your own hands consists in performing the following steps:

Carry out preparatory work. The lining is prepared for installation. They are impregnated with special compounds, such as antiseptic and flame retardant. For further processing, stain or paint of the desired color is used.

After the paint composition has dried, a crate of wooden slats or timber with a section of 5x5 cm is mounted on the selected area. The fastening step of the frame elements should be 10-20 mm less than the width of the insulation plate. Screws or self-tapping screws are used to fasten the rails.

The position of the rails or bars can be vertical or horizontal. The future arrangement of the skin depends on this.

The variant of the installation position of the lining depends entirely on the desire to visually change the appearance of the room. On this, the initial order of fastening the frame is built.

Vertical cladding increases the height of the room. Do-it-yourself horizontal installation of lining makes the room seem more spacious.

In the cells formed, when using a beam, heat-insulating plates are arranged. Upon completion of the work, the entire working area is covered with a plastic film, fixing it on the bars with thin slats. In the future, they will be the element to which the lining itself will be attached.

The final stage is the finishing with wood panels. The room is getting finished.

The technology for the correct installation of lining on the walls is distributed over several steps and is clearly observed during the entire period of work.

The process goes in the following order:

• wall fastening of panels is carried out from the ceiling to the floor line.
• lining is mounted on wooden bars or slats. The grooves are placed down. For evenness of the panels, a bottom fit is made using a piece of wood board. This method eliminates the formation of gaps between the skin and the floor.

The difference between fasteners and their characteristics

For fixing, fasteners are used. The spikes of subsequent skin elements are inserted into the grooves and fixed with specially selected parts. It can be staples, clamps or ordinary nails and screws. Each of these elements of hard fixation has its own meaning.

Nails hammered into grooves are among the neatest, almost imperceptible type of fastening. Kleimers are characterized as high-quality fixation. For staples, it is necessary to use a mounting gun, since fastening occurs by shooting.

Panel Alignment Reception

The last board of the lining is adjusted in width with a hacksaw. A decorative plinth is laid along the line of its docking with a corner. It is attached to liquid nails. It turns out a very beautiful appearance.

A similar finish with a plinth is carried out along all the lines of interface of the surfaces of the walls with the ceiling, along the wall corners and ledges.

The order of the ceiling sheathing

Do-it-yourself installation of lining on the ceiling is carried out in a manner similar to wall decoration. The difference is only in the initial order of the panels.

The layout and fastening start from the window and lead towards the opposite wall. Thus, the shadows arising between the facing elements are hidden.

Photo of lining installation

Clapboard is a popular material for interior decoration. During operation, the question may arise about how to properly nail it. There are several mounting methods. In addition, it can be made of different materials: MDF, plastic, wood.

Regardless of what it is made of, the essence of fastening does not change. The quality depends mainly on the surface, in other words, the surface must be even.

Choice of fastening method

If the lining is finished for some time, and in the future it will be dismantled, it is better to fix it with the help of special clamps. In the bathroom or sauna, it is better to nail the lining with hidden nails, which are driven into the groove of each board.

There is an installation method with which you can not only fasten it with high quality, but also save time and effort - fix the planks with a construction stapler. It can also be fastened with screws, basically this method of fastening is suitable for domestically produced material.

How to properly nail a lining

The lining is mounted on a flat surface. Almost every wall or ceiling has flaws, so before you start fixing it is worth making a crate.

Lathing installation

A wooden bar measuring 50 x 50 (minimum 20 x 40) is attached to the surface, the distance between the bars is 40 cm. If insulation is used, then the distance between the bars is made to the width of the insulation.

A dowel is nailed to a brick wall with nails, and to a wooden one - with nails or self-tapping screws. The first bar is attached in the very corner and is set according to the level or using a plumb line. The second beam is in the corner opposite the first.

We stretch the cords along the upper and lower edges of the bars. We retreat from the first bar 40 - 50 cm and mount the next one, aligning it with the stretched cords. All other bars are also attached to all walls. It is advisable to check each beam with a level, since the quality of fastening depends on the quality of the crate.

How to fix plastic lining

First you need to prepare the tool:

• hacksaw or jigsaw;
• screwdriver and electric drill;
• plumb and level;
• mounting knife;
• stapler;
• hammer.

We will also take care of additional material:

• self-tapping screws,
• dowel,
• Staples,
• plinth.

The profile or plinth is fastened with a stapler to the crate. A lining is inserted into the plinth and, with the help of a stapler, is attached to the beam in the groove. The spiked part of the next part is inserted into the groove of the fixed one. It is fixed in the same way as the first one, with a stapler in the groove.

All the following panels are attached using the same technology. The last panel is cut to size (if necessary) and inserted into the . At the end of the installation of plastic lining, the ceiling is washed with warm water using a sponge.

How to fix a wooden lining

Installation begins from top to bottom of the spikes up, so that dust, dirt, and moisture do not accumulate in the grooves. Nails are hammered into the groove, into its back wall. For fastening, so-called finishing nails are used, the length of which is 50 mm and with a small hat.

They are hammered at an angle of 45 ° as carefully as possible so as not to damage the bar. The first plank is nailed under the ceiling. The second is inserted with a spike into the groove of the first board and fixed. Then the next and all the rest on the same technology, to the very bottom.

The last bar is cut to size and fixed. The resulting gap near the floor covering is closed with a wooden plinth. Corner joints are closed with a decorative corner. With a vertical arrangement of the lining, installation begins from the front door, with a spike towards the opening.

Nails are hammered with a simple hammer, with short blows with a small swing. After completion of installation work, the surface is treated with stain and varnish, this will significantly extend its service life.

Advantages

Lining has a number of advantages over other types of finishing materials. It can be used not only for interior decoration, but also for exterior. It helps to level the walls without much effort.

Wooden - eco-friendly and natural, will fill the room with warmth, comfort and aroma of wood. Qualitatively processed it will serve more than 10 years.

Plastic - moisture resistant, does not fade, has a wide palette of color shades, has a high level of noise and heat insulation.

disadvantages

Wooden panels require additional moisture protection. Over time, it may lose its original appearance. Plastic can release substances harmful to health.

Kinds

The lining is wooden or plastic. Wooden is used for interior or exterior decoration:

1. residential buildings and cottages;
2. gazebos;
3. saunas or baths.

For the manufacture of lining, wood of such species as:

1. ash;
2. aspen;
3. alder;
4. cedar.

Wooden is divided into several classes:

• Class "Extra" or "0-class" - has an ideal appearance and a minimum amount of roughness on the surface.
• Class "A" - for every 1.5 m of the product, one knot, one resin pocket and several cracks are allowed.
• Class “B” - up to four knots per 1.5 m are allowed, as well as several cracks and resin pockets.
• Class "C" - there may be resin bags, blue stains, stripes and mechanical damage.

Plastic is mainly used in finishing:

1. interior spaces;
2. facades of buildings;
3. roof overhangs;
4. ceilings.

May be subdivided into:

• laminated panels, with wood, metal, granite or marble pattern;
• panels with solid color and shade;
• panels with or without seams.

In addition, plastic may differ in the shape of the profile. Depending on the form, this may be:

• panel type, is simple and imitates a wooden beam;
• eurolining is distinguished by a deep tongue-and-groove connection, with an increased spike size, which allows for good ventilation and moisture evaporation, it is used in facade decoration;
• calm lining has an almost perfect smooth surface;
• lining - American, the main difference is recesses on the inside, overlapped, thanks to this there are no seams between the panels, it is made only from wood and is used for exterior decoration;
• - made in the form of convex bars, imitates a wooden building.

The difference between euro lining and wooden lining is that it is produced according to the European standard DIN 68126. Improved and modernized wood processing technologies make this environmentally friendly and safe material high moisture resistance. Considerably simplifies installation and prolongs service life.

To properly install the eurolining yourself, you will need the necessary tools:

• electric jigsaw;
• ruler with a level;
• hammer;
• perforator;
• wood screws;
• mounting thread;
• drill;
• kleimers.

You can calculate the coverage area using the width of the working panel, which is 88 mm. Difficulties with the area of ​​​​the ceiling are quite rare, but the surface of the walls is divided into separate rectangles for ease of calculation. The length of the board should be equal to one of the sides of the received sectors. Depending on how the window or doorway is located, the other side will be of arbitrary size.

Be more careful when using in the calculations not the working, but the real width of the board, which is 96 mm, its error will be 7%.

There is a simple instruction that does not require a specific classification of the master. It details how to properly fix the lining. It includes several items - from the preparation of the walls and to the final finish.

PREPARATION

Before you install wood paneling yourself, you must first make the best option for electrical wiring in the room. After the finishing process is completed, the wires will be hidden under the panels. These wires are placed in special channels called corrugations, which are made of non-combustible material.

Boxes with boards must be opened and kept in this condition from 24 to 72 hours. This is necessary so that the material can get used to the given climate, temperature and humidity in the room. As a result, shrinkage or bursting of the panels at the joints can be avoided.

From what to fix eurolining, the appearance of the skin will change over time. Differences in color and texture are very noticeable, as they are made from solid wood. Therefore, before starting the installation, it is necessary to choose the most suitable sequence of boards, it depends on the chosen laying direction. Directions can be: diagonal, vertical, combined and horizontal.

Attention: when finishing the ceiling, the panels located along the incident rays of light from the window can significantly increase the volume of the room.

INSTALLING THE CUTTON

• It doesn’t matter what kind of wood for the crate, the main thing is that this material should be artificially dried;
• Sheathing boards are mounted on carrier rails with a section of 20 by 45 or 30 by 45 mm;
• Using the level, you can check the correct installation;
• The distance between the rails should be 0.4-0.8 m.

The direction of the crate depends on how the eurolining is attached:

1. Rails are attached to the ceiling and floor in a diagonal or horizontal position;
2. It is necessary to install the rails horizontally with vertical sheathing, from wall to wall. It's best to start at the top and work your way down.

HEAT INSULATION

If you are sheathing the room yourself, use mineral wool as a heater. Cotton wool fills the space between the lining and the wall well.

For additional hydro- or vapor barrier, a stapler is attached on top of the wool, with a water-repellent film with the silver side inward. It can be Tyvek, Isospan or other waterproofing materials.

KLEIMERS

Kleimers are hidden clips with which eurolining is attached. From the outside, this fastener is imperceptible, does not expose the tree to expansion or shrinkage, and helps to avoid splitting the panels. Fasteners for eurolining are made of galvanized steel, which is under reliable protection against corrosion.

Galvanized nails, self-tapping screws and clamps are sold in sets of 100 and 200 pieces. About 20 clamps will be needed for one square meter of eurolining. The price of the package depends on the completeness. When buying, pay attention to the elasticity of the retainer, the presence of coating and the thickness of the plate.

Pay attention to the first panel when fixing with screws. Then the protruding part of the clamp is inserted into the groove of the board, and the base is screwed or nailed to the carrier rails. Each subsequent plank, fastener, closing with itself, enters the groove pressed by the kleimer with its spike. The last board is adjusted and cut to the required size. It is not recommended to hit the end with a hammer if the boards are joined with some effort. When struck with a hammer, a spike or groove can be split. In these cases, a piece of rail is placed under the hammer.

Attention: if the euro lining is horizontal, then the planks are placed with the spike up, in order to avoid the accumulation of moisture in the grooves.

FINISH

When you complete the sheathing, treat the surface with an antiseptic, it protects the tree from fungus and decay. To brighten the texture of wood, use wax or stain. In the interior, the coating made with the help of matte varnish looks beautiful.

We conclude that it will not be difficult to figure out how the euro lining is attached. The workflow has the advantage that installation can be done quickly and easily. And another plus is that at the end of the work there is very little waste and garbage in the room.
