Wooden lining: dimensions, types, characteristics, installation

Lining has long appeared on the construction market. It is actively used for finishing the walls of various rooms both inside and outside. Manufacturers constantly improve their products, complementing the range with newer and more high-tech options. Since it is almost impossible to keep track of all the innovations, difficulties even with experienced masters may arise with the choice of modern lining. Therefore, in this article, we will consider in which options the wooden lining is sold, what are the dimensions of the material, the cost and the ways of its attachment to the wall.

Selection of wood

This material is made of coniferous and hardwood. The choice of this or that option depends on the type and functionality of the room in which the lining is to be installed. Spruce, pine and cedar are ideal for interior lining of living quarters. Such varieties differ in beautiful texture and have a pleasant natural flavor.

For facing bath rooms choose special types of wood, of which a wooden lining is made. Lime - an ideal option for these purposes. When heated, it releases into the air essential oils that have a pronounced anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. Therefore, the bath, lined with such slats, will be an excellent way to get rid of colds. In addition, the linden is very resistant to moisture.

But pine wood is not recommended for use in rooms where high temperatures prevail. This type generates a sharp and unpleasant odor when heated. Unexpectedly, the knots can fall out, resulting in through holes in the walls.

For finishing the exterior surfaces, you should opt for softwood materials. They are characterized by a high content of resin, which protects wood from decay and makes it more resistant to moisture.

Classification of material

In addition to the difference in raw materials, the whole lining is divided into grades and has the marking: "A", "B", "C". Varieties differ from each other in appearance. There are a number of criteria that must be met by the wood of each class. These requirements are clearly regulated by standards.

So, the lining "A" must have a perfectly clean surface, without knots, blue, resinous stains. For the manufacture of this variety, the core of the bar can not be used.

For grade "B", knots and resin pockets are allowed, but not more than three defects per 1.5 running meters of the board.

In grade "C" there may be blue, dropping knots and resinous stains. Also, color variations along the entire length of the lamellas are permissible. Such material has the lowest cost.

The main types of modern lining

The lining has many varieties, which differ in appearance, method of attachment and purpose. The most popular material is of two types: standard and softline. Their main difference from each other is the shape of the bevel: the material of the standard type has straight angles, and the softline has more rounded ones.

For the plating of surfaces located on the street, an external lining is used. Wood The cladding in this case is made of a material called a blockhouse and an American.

Blockhouse has one round side, which is created to simulate round logs. This cladding gives the house the look of a real log, making it more attractive and presentable. Elements that are out of order can easily be replaced without disturbing the rest of the cladding.

The variant under the name of the American is made in the form of a planed board. From one of its end is cut a groove, and on the other - a dowel, which help to securely connect the boards with each other. Cut off lateral faces help in accurately replicate the wooden beam, so at first glance it is difficult to understand that in fact this is a wooden lining. American sizes differ significantly from previous versions. The boards are more massive, wide and strong, therefore they are intended only for outdoor work.

Material dimensions

When undertaking repair work, it is very important to correctly calculate the amount of material required. That is why many people are interested in the parameters that wooden boards can have. The sizes and the price depend on the chosen grade and the manufacturer.

Products of Russian production are strictly regulated by GOST. The maximum width of the lamella is 150 mm, and the maximum length is 6 meters. The thickness of the material varies between 12-25 mm.

Completely different parameters have an imported wooden lining, the size and price of which differ significantly from the domestic product. The facing material of European manufacture has strictly fixed dimensions. The width of the lamella is 80, 100, 110 and 120 mm. The board thickness is strictly 13, 16 or 19 mm. The length of such material can be from 0.5 to 6 meters. Accurate observance of the parameters makes it possible without difficulty to find the material of the correct size for replacing the damaged elements.

Cost

Purchasing the lining, it is necessary to take into account some features of this material. This will help you choose the most suitable product at an affordable price.

Dry facing board is much lighter than material made from raw natural moisture. To feel the difference, it's enough to hold both options in your hands. Dry wood is much better in its characteristics, but, of course, and more expensive.

A class "A" lining, made of pine, processed in a drying chamber, costs from 200 to 500 rubles per 1 m ² . The identical material of natural humidity will cost from 130-300 rubles. Pine paneling "B" class will have a cost of 180-350 rubles, and the material of class "C" has a price tag from 140-250 rubles. The cost of a high-class lining made from lime grows to 800 rubles per 1 m ² , while a larch with the same characteristics costs between 500-900 rubles.

The most expensive are lamellas made of oak and cedar. This lining is very special and is considered an elite material. The cost of 1 m ^{2 of} this cladding starts from 1200 rubles.

Ways of installation

In most cases, the installation of the lining requires a preliminary creation of the lathing. On the whole surface, wooden blocks are placed at a distance of 50-80 cm. The position of the bars should be perpendicular to the location of the future cladding. In what direction will the lining be done with wooden lining, The owner of the room decides according to his preferences.

The lining is fastened in several ways:

1. Installation with self-tapping screws. Such fastening of wooden lining Very convenient for horizontal facing. From the side of the spike in the board, drill a hole for the self-tapping screw. There screw the screw, which fix the material to the wall, and close the hole with wooden dowel. Subsequently, the dowel is cut and polished.

2. Fasteners with brackets. This method is used for vertical arrangement of boards. In the groove with a construction stapler at an angle of 45 degrees drive in the mounting bracket so that it does not interfere with the dense occurrence of the next board.

3. Fastening with nails. This method is completely analogous to the previous one. The only difference is that nails are used instead of staples, which are dumped into the wood with the help of a milking machine.

Positive features of the material

Perhaps, it is impossible to imagine a surface for which a wooden lining can not be used for facing. The dimensions and characteristics of the material allow it to be used for finishing absolutely any rooms. It should also be noted:

- ecological compatibility;

- security;

- durability;

- Simplicity of installation;

- attractive appearance;

- resistance to the appearance of rot, mold and fungi.

All these qualities deservedly make the lining very popular finishing material.

Recommendations for selection

In this article, we examined what kinds of wood veneers are available. Dimensions, approximate cost and installation methods, we also did not leave without attention. Finally, it should be noted several recommendations of experts who will help avoid mistakes in the selection of this finishing material:

1. When buying a bale, you need to pay attention to the state of the board. If it is curved or twisted, it will be very difficult to perform high-quality cladding.

2. It is very important that the packaging in which the material is located is not broken. If the lining was stored in an open form, it could absorb unwanted moisture. This will negatively affect the quality of the material.

3. The most stable and long-lasting option is a lining made of alder. It does not warp and does not lose its original appearance during operation.
