For centuries, wood material for construction has been considered one of the most environmentally friendly and durable. Its advantages have long been known and justified. However, from a huge range of lumber, it is not easy to choose the one that is needed for your type of construction. Lining is a popular type of wood for interior decoration. It is a thin cladding board that is used for finishing. Lumber can be used in residential premises, for finishing baths, saunas, balconies, loggias, attics, and for the construction of technical premises. Wooden panels can be replaced with an improved option - eurolining. This is a profiled board, well dried and planed from different species, which is also used for external or internal work. Both options have their own characteristics, disadvantages, production standards, sizes, and prices. In order not to make a mistake with your choice, you should understand the difference between these two solutions, carefully study the information, and also trust experienced builders.

Advantages of lining

The main advantage of lining is real cost savings . The use of lining allows you to reduce costs in the process of finishing the premises, since there is no need to purchase starting and finishing sandstone, plastering work, etc. It is calculated that in total, plastering work + plaster mortar + sandless sand + work with sandless sand + paint and painting work or wallpaper + wallpapering will cost twice as much (!) as the cost of the lining itself, fasteners and installation work. The ratio will remain the same even if the lining is varnished, which in principle is not always necessary, and in some situations even harmful. Today, it is problematic to offer a cheaper and equally decorative finishing material than lining.

The durability and strength of the finishing coating made of lining are common nouns. The last thing that will require replacement during repairs is the lining, which, as a rule, requires basic restoration work to update. At the same time, this coating retains its fresh appearance for a long time.

The more the lining is in use, the more of its advantages it reveals. Imagine that right in winter, the wall of the house needed to be quickly insulated. Winter and rough work are difficult to combine concepts, but lining is a completely different matter! The lining will allow you to lay the thermal insulation layer quickly and cleanly . The only thing you have to remove is shavings and wood dust. In particular, to insulate the required area of ​​a medium-sized room with a layer of insulation and cover it with clapboard, one day of light is enough for a professional.

The texture of the wood allows you to achieve a harmonious combination of clapboard finishing with any interior style - be it modern, classic, high-tech or oriental. The beauty, reliability, durability and cost-effectiveness of lining make it an indispensable material for both internal and external cladding of dachas, cottages, gazebos, balconies, baths and saunas.

A significant advantage of lining is the ease of connecting individual panels . Joining the covering elements using the tenon-groove principle allows you to significantly reduce the cost of installation, and in addition, get rid of visible joints, resulting in the effect of a solid decorative wooden surface. A monolithic panel assembled using tongue-and-groove technology turns into an insurmountable barrier to dust, polluted air, chipping fragments of plaster and other unwanted by-products of human activity penetrating into the room “from the outside.”

If you have children, then there is a natural desire to avoid children's fingerprints on the walls. An excellent way to solve this issue is to sheathe the entire bottom of the walls to a height of 0.9-1.2 m from the floor. Forget about wallpapering or repainting walls; together with your children, enjoy the presence of this environmentally friendly and visually attractive finishing coating in your home.

Sizes and price

The size of the lining varies depending on its standards and type. For example, the classic version has dimensions of 12mm x 76mm x 0.2m at the minimum permissible value and 40mm x 200mm x 6m at the maximum. As for eurolining, it has different parameters. So, the thickness should correspond to 13, 16 or 19 millimeters. The width is 80, 100, 110 or 120 millimeters. And the length ranges from half a meter to 6 meters. The tenon that all eurolining has reaches 8-9 millimeters. Despite the strict standards that turn the usual appearance of panels into “euro”, there may be minor deviations. They are allowed up to 0.7 millimeters in thickness, 1 millimeter in width, and the length can be shorter or longer than the established one by 5 millimeters. The dimensions of the spike can also fluctuate in any direction by half a millimeter. Wooden lining can be used to decorate both the interior and exterior of the house. For each type of work, you can choose a certain type of boards.

The correct size will speed up work completion time and reduce costs. The shorter the eurolining, the cheaper it is. These boards are used mainly for lining roofs or other rough work. Short lamellas are considered waste from the production of long ones. During final processing, the board may be cut if dead knots or other defects are detected. A long board is much more expensive, because it is used for interior finishing. Eurolining of standard parameters allows you to preserve the cladding in its original form for a long time. Standards have been approved to protect panels from drying out and cracks appearing over time.

Classification of lining

Lining is classified, like all finishing lumber, according to several criteria. The most important of them include: classification by profile types, classification by panel sizes, classification by species and type of wood. We will look at each of the classifications below.

Classification of lining by wood type

According to the type of wood, the lining is divided into four classes: “Extra” (or 0), “A”, “B” and “C”. The higher the class of the product, the higher the requirements for it.

Thus, “Extra” grade lining should not include core fragments or any wood defects. Class “A” assumes the absence of a core, but in this case there is a limitation: one live knot for every 1.5 m of length along the front side and no more than 2 blind cracks, and no more than 2 resin pockets.

For class “B” products, the number of falling knots per 1.5 lengths increases to 4 possible, and their size should not exceed 20mm. The presence of up to 2 non-through cracks and 2 resin pockets is allowed. Cracks in grades “A” and “B” should not exceed 1 mm in width and 50 mm in length. Class “B” lining allows the presence of one contrasting spot up to 15 cm in size on the surface of the product. sq. and microtraumas of the wood surface, no more than 3 mm in size.

The size of captive knots in products of class “C” should not exceed 25 mm in diameter. The surface may include non-through cracks not exceeding 5% of the total length of the product. The presence of up to 2 resin pockets up to 5mm wide and up to 50mm long is allowed. The permissible size of the contrast spot is 15 cm. sq., but in addition to it, there may also be individual spots of blue or stripes, with a total volume of up to 5% of the area of ​​the product. The size of fragments of permissible mechanical damage is limited to 6 mm.

Classification of lining by wood type

In accordance with the material of manufacture, the lining is classified into boards made from hardwood and softwood. The first category includes ash, oak, alder, aspen, linden and many others. The second includes pine, spruce, larch, cedar, etc. The scope of application of softwood lining is extremely wide. The only rooms in which finishing with coniferous wood paneling is not recommended are saunas and baths, where high temperatures provoke the release of resinous substances. A “sticky board” effect is created, and an increased resin content can cause spontaneous combustion of the material.

The finishing surface made of lining visually aligns the walls, “enlivens” the room, has the ability to naturally regulate humidity, and brings comfort and a sense of security into the atmosphere of the house. Correctly selected lining can be successfully used for interior decoration of premises for any purpose. This is largely possible due to the low thermal conductivity of wood. The exceptional soundproofing qualities of natural wood will provide the home space with additional comfort and coziness. But when installed in a sauna, wooden lining will perfectly retain heat without burning you at all.

The type of wood is selected based on the specifics of the room, functions and load placed on the finishing coating. The most affordable, quite functional and popular solution for cladding both external and internal surfaces is a finishing coating made of pine lining.

Pine paneling

Affordable and durable, impeccable in its decorative qualities, easy to process, pine lining can today be considered the most popular material for interior decoration of premises for a wide variety of purposes. The pattern of the pine lining is diffuse, dispersing attention and allowing the eye to “rest” on its surface.

The lining made of Scandinavian pine deserves special attention, the wood of which has a pinkish tint and is practically free of knots. The pattern formed by the annual rings of Scandinavian pine and spruce has a special decorative effect. This pattern is formed due to the special properties of wood and specific requirements for the choice of raw materials. The fact is that the coniferous species used by the Finns in the production of finishing materials are planted no further south than the 63rd latitude. This condition is explained by the increased density of annual rings in trees growing in these latitudes. In addition, the “winter” and “summer” thickness of the growth rings are almost the same, and the density of the wood is higher than that of pine, which grows, for example, in central Russia.

Larch paneling

The quality of the lining, as is known, is largely determined by the quality of the wood. In this regard, without exaggeration, Siberian larch is a unique, elite material. Approaching the strength of oak, larch has an enviable “immunity” to the effects of pests, and therefore products made from larch practically do not rot, retain their decorative properties for a long time and have a truly unique durability.

Larch lining does not warp or crack even with significant temperature fluctuations. The unique architecture of the Siberian larch trunk allows one to obtain a significantly larger volume of useful material from one tree than from trees of most other species. Add to the listed advantages of larch lining a price that is quite acceptable in comparison with finishing materials of other elite species, and you will get a solution that is justified in all respects.

Canadian cedar paneling

The wood of Canadian cedar, or giant thuja, is a unique antiseptic and, at the same time, an excellent heat resonator. Durable and decorative, lining made from Canadian cedar has unique physical and mechanical properties, the ability to resist fungal bacteria and woodworms, mold, blue stains, and significant temperature changes.

Canadian cedar wood contains essential oils that have a beneficial effect on the human cardiovascular system and upper respiratory tract. The aroma emitted by such lining soothes, relieves accumulated tension and fatigue. They use lining made from Canadian cedar to decorate the most respectable premises and in the construction of elite saunas.

Canadian cedar wood is dense, has a pleasant brown-coffee hue, has a fine, beautiful texture and exudes a pleasant balsamic aroma.

Lining made of Siberian cedar

Lining made from Siberian cedar belongs to the elite category, both due to the noble, memorable texture of the wood, and due to the ability to have a pronounced healing effect on many body systems, the ability not to burn even with strong heating and not to release resin up to 140 degrees. Thanks to its unique resistance to rotting, lining made from Siberian cedar is extremely durable, without losing its decorative qualities throughout its entire service life.

Siberian cedar lining looks great in any room, but this finishing coating demonstrates its maximum capabilities in a sauna, bathhouse or children's room. The light of the wood is light pink, yellowish red, “flesh”, while the sapwood is indistinguishable from the core. The structure is short-wavy, low-shiny, with a characteristic pleasant aroma. The homogeneity of the wood structure makes it easier to process, cut in different directions, bends and polishes quite well, dries out and swells slightly.

Linden lining

About 30 varieties of linden, used as raw material for the production of lining and eurolining, grow in North America, the Caucasus, East Asia, and Crimea. The most valuable rocks are concentrated in places with sufficient moisture levels. The usual age of linden (Tilia - lat.) is 150 years, although in nature there are trees aged 800 and 1000 years. For the production of lining, as a rule, linden wood aged 70–80 years is used. During the drying process, linden wood is easily brought to a moisture content of 8–10%.

Linden wood is soft, contains almost no knots, and is easy to process. In urban conditions, the optimal varieties for the production of finishing materials are Crimean or dark green linden. Linden lining has an exceptional healing effect, it is light, durable and resistant to temperature changes. Linden lining as a finishing material is the first step to longevity. In addition, linden is an excellent natural energy donor.

Linden is a honey plant, which turns lining from it into a unique source of subtle aroma. In addition, linden lining “breathes” and is an excellent sound insulator. Linden wood does not release resin when heated, creating a feeling of warmth and comfort. Linden lining, which retains its healing and decorative qualities in conditions of high humidity, is an ideal material for finishing saunas and baths. It does not release aromatic resins and does not swell.

A unique finishing material is white linden lining. The wood of this type of linden is distinguished by the purest shade of white, while containing a minimal amount of stains that spoil the appearance.

The standard thickness of lime lining is 15mm, working width is 88mm. The length of the panels ranges from 1.0 -3.0 m. Packed in polyethylene, in packs of 10 boards. Please note: the cost and length of the lime lining are inextricably linked. Lining with a length of 0.7 to 1.7 m is approximately 1.4 times cheaper than lining with a length of 2.0 - 3.0 m! That is why, when using shorter lengths of lining when finishing, you not only expand the possibilities for improvisation, but save a decent amount. The best decorative effect when connecting shortened linden lining is achieved through the use of special joining strips made of linden.

Black alder paneling

Alder is a unique material, both in terms of physical and mechanical properties, and in terms of decorative qualities - texture, color and shade of wood. Light coffee, chocolate with marble veins, the color of black alder wood gives this finishing coating noble sophistication and originality. The main advantage of black alder wood, like Caucasian linden, is its resistance to moisture, which allows it to be successfully used as a material for saunas, baths and any other rooms with high humidity, as well as those rooms where thermal conditions are of particular importance.

Fragments of the finishing surface made of alder are perfectly combined with eurolining made of light species - aspen, linden, abashi, etc. The wood of alder, like linden, is soft, uniform, and cuts perfectly. There are practically no cracks in the product. This lining does not warp, does not darken over time, has increased hygroscopicity and low density. The latter quality determines the low weight of the finished product, which means even more comfortable installation.

Oak paneling

The quality of oak wood and its decorative properties have long become common nouns. High strength and durability, unique texture, high density of oak wood allow us to classify lining made from it as elite. In addition to high strength, oak lining is characterized by excellent resistance to rotting.

By choosing oak paneling, you are investing in a reliable, elegant and durable finish. This is exactly the case when the cost of the finishing material pays off many times during its operation.

Classification by profile types

According to this parameter, the lining is divided into “regular” lining and “euro-lining”. The latter differs in the quality of wood and finishing, humidity, profile dimensions and some features of its design.

Eurolining: main advantages

Lining manufactured by domestic manufacturers must comply with the requirements of GOST 8242-88. For the consumer, this means that a facing board with the “correct” parameters from a Russian manufacturer should have a thickness of 12...25mm, a length of up to 6000mm, and a width of up to 150mm. For eurolining, there are more stringent restrictions: thickness 13,16 and 19mm, length - from 500...6000mm, width - 80, 100,110 and 120mm.

Lining in thickness gradations from 12 to 16 mm is used for interior decoration, panels from 16 to 25 mm are used for external cladding of the building. Eurolining complies with the requirements of the DIN 68126 standard.

The length of the groove in the eurolining is slightly increased and is 8 mm. Thanks to this “reserve”, the eurolining receives additional guarantees that the product will not crack or form cracks as a result of possible deformation. The reverse side of the eurolining has air vents, which avoids the accumulation of condensate and creates additional opportunities for ventilation.

The outer part of the eurolining profile can be manufactured in accordance with several options - “Standard” and “Soft Lines” (Soft Line).... The second profile option involves rounded chamfers. A very important indicator, characteristic specifically for eurolining, is strict regulation of the wood moisture content within the range of 14 - 16%. It is this moisture content of the eurolining that will allow you to avoid chips, nicks and loss of decorativeness during its production, the formation of blue stains during storage, and unwanted deformations during installation and operation.

During the production of eurolining, very stringent requirements are also placed on the equipment. Only with the use of high-tech, state-of-the-art equipment, it is possible to achieve sufficient decorativeness of the sanded surface of the product, or more precisely, its front part. Machines made in Germany have proven themselves to be excellent on the market.

Thanks to its exceptional decorative qualities, ease of installation and a wealth of improvisation possibilities, eurolining occupies one of the leading places in the ranking of the popularity of modern materials for interior and exterior decoration.

Types of lining profiles

Products of the “Calm” type do not form a dividing gap after installation, resulting in a perfectly smooth surface. Another popular type of cladding is eurolining. It is manufactured in accordance with DIN 68-126/86 standards.

Preparing the lining before laying

The hassle with eurolining is much less than with lining, which will definitely require additional processing, namely de-resining the wood, which comes down, first of all, to degreasing the surface and removing resinous stains. In the case of pine lining, apply a 25% acetone solution with a brush, after which the surface is wiped with a rag moistened with warm water and dried thoroughly. An excellent alternative is a solution of the following composition (g): hot water - 1000, baking soda - 40...50, potash - 50, soap shavings - 25...40, acetone - 200, alcohol - 10g. Apply the solution to the surface with a flute, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry. To obtain a distinctly even tone of the coating, before painting, the lining is bleached with a composition of hydrogen peroxide and oxalic acid.

In the latter case, a 20% solution of sodium hydrogen sulfate is applied to the surface of the product; at the next stage, a solution of 10% oxalic acid mixed with sodium hydrogen sulfate is added. After leaving the solutions for about 5 minutes, they are washed off the surface with warm water. To discolor lining made from light wood species (linden, maple, poplar, birch...), a solution is prepared at the rate of 2...3g. oxalic acid for every 100g. boiled water.

An almost universal means for discoloring wooden surfaces of various types of wood is hydrogen peroxide. To bleach birch, a concentration of 30-35% is maintained, ash and birch - 20% peroxide + 20% ammonia (in the total volume, their ratio is maintained as 10: 1).

Before laying regular lining, you will have to repair the surface of the product, cosmetically eliminating cracks, chips, potholes, etc. For these purposes, you will need putties and putties, the binders of which are drying oil, wood glue or varnish. There is no need to prepare a special putty composition for this purpose - you can choose from those that are commercially available (for example, “Pinocolor”, etc.). Modern putties for finishing wood are not only of high quality, but also decorative, since they imitate the natural shade of wood - spruce, pine, oak, ash, birch, etc.

The considered advantage of putty does not save you from the need to additionally paint the puttyed fragments with paint carefully selected to match the color of the wood. Painting is done with a brush. For this purpose, you can use a coloring composition of white (titanium or zinc) with watercolors. This component composition allows you to select the color, tone and shade of paint to match the desired fragment of a wooden panel with maximum approximation. Please note: touch-up should be done after the first layer of varnish has dried, which slightly changes the color of the coating.

In cases where opaque wood finishing is carried out, primers (drying oil, white spirit, borax, tripoli) or fillers (white spirit, varnish, gypsum) are used. Such compositions are most often used for restoration work.

Perhaps, while maintaining the natural structure of the lining, you want to get a different shade, for example, the color of noble aged oak, walnut or mahogany... In these cases, special wood dyes produced by domestic and foreign industry in a wide range come to the aid of the master. Such dyes include stains based on organic solvents, dyes and synthetic resins (not water-based), alcohol stains, all kinds of mordants and stains - dry powders diluted with water in a certain proportion.

Beitz, according to professionals, is very convenient for tinting lining intended for interior decoration. To prepare the required composition, the contents of the powder pack are diluted with 0.5 liters of water and mixed thoroughly. Of course, as the concentration of powder per unit volume of water decreases, the color becomes softer, and vice versa. In other words, to obtain the desired shade, experiment with different concentrations of the composition on the same piece of wood - a “sample”.

To paint the lining, use a brush, preferably a wide brush. In the process of applying the composition, they try to avoid multi-colored spots and smudges. Your goal is to achieve uniform coverage. After short-term drying, re-treatment is recommended. As ready-made stains, you can use natural dyes or, as a less desirable option, chemical mordants.

Alder paneling

This material is well suited for interior work, as alder absorbs heat well and does not react to moisture. At high temperatures, alder shalevka does not warp or crack. The main decorative advantage of this material, as can be seen in the photo, is the variety of colors, shades and textures of wood, which allows you to create a unique interior. In addition, due to its resistance to moisture, alder is often used in underwater structures.

Wall cladding with eurolining

By laying eurolining as a finishing material, you save yourself from the need to finish it. The higher price of the product is to some extent offset by the smaller thickness of the panels, which allows the same volume of wood to cover a larger surface area.

Simplicity of installation is achieved by laying the lining on the sheathing and an effective fastening scheme. When fastening the lining to the sheathing, straight driving lines should be avoided. It is advisable to place insulation under the lining, in the sections formed by the bars, and cover the bars themselves on the side of the walls that do not face the street with a layer of glassine. This measure is also recommended in the case of laying lining on the ceiling of the upper floor, adjacent to an attic space that is intensively ventilated in the cool season.

Even before installing the lining, take care of marking and placing future wiring and control and switching points (if any are provided for during repair work). Do everything possible and acceptable to avoid running external wiring - it can spoil the impression of the most sophisticated interior. Wires/cables with a reserve cross-section (to avoid overheating) running under the lining in metal pipes will be an excellent way out.

Most often, the lining in the process of interior decoration of the walls of a room is sewn vertically, which allows you to visually increase its height. Horizontal installation is recommended in narrow spaces. Improvisation with shades will allow you to emphasize individual interior details, and sometimes hide minor finishing defects. In general, the lining can be mounted both vertically and horizontally and even diagonally. In the latter case, the exceptional decorative effect has to be compensated by the high consumption of material and the complexity of installation.

Depending on the location of the lining during the installation process, the frame - substrate is attached perpendicular to the direction of placement of the finishing panels. The distance between individual slats/bars is maintained within 0.5 - 0.7 m. They are attached to the wall with nails - dowels. Special foil is used as a thermal insulation material.

In the case of interior decoration of a bathhouse or sauna, special attention is paid to the ventilation system, which should cover the entire room. Only after all the preliminary stages have been completed can you proceed directly to the installation of the lining.

It is convenient to start laying the lining from the corner. Install slowly, carefully, board to board, constantly using a wooden hammer and a building level in the process. You should be very careful to ensure that the individual panels fit evenly on both sides, otherwise there is a risk of collapsing the wall. If a sharp change in humidity is possible in the room, then the lining can become a “house”. A micro gap of 1 - 2 mm between the tongue and groove connection will insure you against this problem.

Nail the lining panels to the sheathing either in the grooves or in those places that will later be covered with a corner or plinth. This method of fastening will hide the unaesthetic appearance of a protruding nail head. When installing larch lining, special care should be taken, since, despite its strength, its wood is significantly fragile. That is why when working with larch lining, a screwdriver is mandatory. An excellent fastening option is special brackets.

After the lining is laid, you can open it with varnish and protective compounds.

Advantages and disadvantages of lining

Classic lining is made from edged boards that have been thoroughly dried. Among other materials for finishing premises, both internal and external, this option stands out significantly. Advantages of wooden forcing:

• Environmentally friendly material. The naturalness of the boards allows you not to pollute the atmosphere, and also create a unique microclimate and aroma at home. Breathable panels allow air to pass through, providing good ventilation. And a certain level of humidity in the room can be maintained due to the hygroscopicity of wood.
• Durability. Due to its qualities, lumber retains all its properties for a very long time - it can last about 50 years if proper care and processing is provided.
• Aesthetics. Thanks to the variety of breeds, you can create a unique design. It will include unusual textures, different shades, colors.
• Availability. The material can be purchased at a suitable price. It is presented in expensive and cheap versions.
• Installation. Such panels are easy to fasten - the tongue-and-groove installation system allows you to simply, quickly, and even fix them yourself.
• Insulation. Wooden lining has good thermal insulation and sound insulation, so you can lay such boards without additional insulation.

Despite its advantages, this lumber has disadvantages. In particular, sensitivity to moisture, possible deformation due to changes in air temperature or simply during operation. However, it is important to remember that these shortcomings can be easily eliminated. And with careful, timely care of the tree and proper installation, the process of deformation may never occur. To avoid damage to lumber, it is important to initially select the right type for the specific environment of use.

If the room is finished with clapboard, it will receive additional strength. Panels made of different types can withstand large mechanical loads. Especially if you choose large lamella sizes. Also, the strength indicator is influenced by the initial strength of the wood itself. Undoubtedly, choosing a harder, more durable tree, the processing process will be more complicated. But during installation, the screws and nails will be fixed as securely as possible. The grade of wood plays a vital role. It, among other things, determines the appearance and dimensions of the lining. When using this finishing option, high wear resistance appears. This is especially important in places where there are protruding corners or walls. Fire resistance is very important for baths and saunas. The healing properties of wood and its aesthetic side are also of great importance. The dimensions of ordinary lining are strictly defined, as well as its improved type. The thickness is 12.5 mm, the width with a tenon is 96 mm, and without a tenon it is 88 mm. Length is also important. It can be from 1.8 to 4 meters.

Varnishing of lining

The possibilities of compositions in relation to the formation of the desired color range are quite wide. As for varnishing, the use of glossy varnishes when covering lining is not recommended, since gloss on ceilings and walls quickly tires the eyes and, moreover, looks, to put it mildly, tasteless. After applying the first layer of varnish, it is recommended to walk over the coated surface with a “zero” in order to eliminate micro-bubbles of air and fluff that the coating naturally accumulates during the varnishing process.

To achieve a noble and solid matte tone of the coating, you can use matte alkyd varnish “Yalo” (Finland). Since the varnish is quite expensive, it can be applied as a third layer on top of the two previous layers of oil varnish.

In order to achieve the optimal ratio of quality/decorative/protective properties, the varnishing procedure should be carried out 2–3 times. If the desire to enjoy the shine of your varnish every day remains a determining factor for you, try using an alkyd-urethane varnish. Acrylic varnish, a water-based antiseptic, can be considered universal in terms of giving the desired color and decorative effect.

Larch paneling

Larch is the only tree that rivals oak in its density. A shawl made from this material has high strength and durability. Due to its high gum content, larch is better able to resist the appearance of mold and fungi than other tree species. Thanks to this property, finishing elements made from this type of wood are ideal for finishing rooms with high humidity, especially baths and saunas. The proposed material can withstand even significant changes in temperature and humidity.

Linden lining

Finishing with clapboard balconies and loggias

After completing the glazing of a loggia or balcony, the question inevitably arises: how best to insulate and decorate its interior space. It would be correct to consider a balcony as part of an apartment or house - part of the living space where you can comfortably and usefully spend part of your time, for example, growing a home greenhouse or chatting with friends over a cup of aromatic coffee. The ideal finishing material for decorating and insulating a balcony is high-quality euro lining or lining made from natural wood.

The correct choice of insulation is one of the conditions for the durability of the interior decoration of the balcony. To prevent the destructive effects of moisture and temperature changes, the seams are treated with polyurethane foam. A similar sequence of actions is followed for the ceiling.

So, eurolining or lining is most often used as a material ideal for covering walls, ceilings and slopes of a balcony or loggia. The most popular and democratic solution is pine lining. Considering that the inner surface of the balcony, more often than other places in the apartment, comes into contact with direct sunlight, the choice of protective equipment should be taken with special responsibility.

Positive properties of wood

The technology for producing lining is the same for all types.
Regardless of the type of wood, all types of lining undergo the same technological operations that do not impair their natural qualities. So:

• Wood absorbs excess moisture from the air and releases the missing moisture in an excessively dry room. Attempts by inventors to reproduce these qualities cannot compete with natural properties.
• The smell of natural wood cannot be replaced by chemical analogues from industry.
• Modern woodworking makes it possible to make wood moisture-resistant, strong, and durable.
• The resulting products are characterized by cleanliness, warmth and sound insulation.

Attention: The lining has the ability to burn quickly, so fire safety must be observed when using it.

• The positive properties of lining include good heat retention.
• Low density does not allow wood finishing materials to heat up too much.
• Natural wood can be processed, and the installation of lining in bathhouses can be done independently.
• Finishing the bathhouse with clapboard provides a favorable microclimate.

Calculation of lining. Area and cost

Since in most cases flat surfaces are sheathed with clapboard, it is convenient to calculate the clapboard in square meters. The total area of ​​the covered surface can accordingly be calculated as the product of the length of the wall (ceiling) and the height (width). In cases where it is necessary to cover complex geometric surfaces, the total area is divided into several rectangles.

When calculating the lining, it is very important to correctly take into account its actual length, because the cost of the lining depends on it. For each room, it is advisable to carry out such calculations strictly individually, which will ultimately reduce the percentage of unproductive expenses.

When placing an order for covering a complex surface, a complex order consisting of “sets” of linings of different lengths becomes a very correct and economical solution. This way you will not only save on waste, but also speed up and simplify the installation process. For ease of calculation, first convert millimeters and centimeters to meters.

Linden lining

Linden has several varieties, but all of them are very soft material and can be easily processed. Linden absorbs water well, which is why it is the best finishing material for rooms with high humidity, especially baths. It is humid conditions that allow this tree to show all its medicinal properties. Linden shalevka not only perfectly absorbs sound, but is also resistant to temperature changes. It is worth noting that when heated, the material creates a feeling of warmth and comfort.

General recommendations when choosing lining

The higher quality the lining you choose turns out to be, the less waste is generated during professional installation. The parameters of high-quality lining are clearly indicated in our selection recommendations:

• the slats were cut along the direction of tree growth; the growth rings should not protrude beyond the surface of the board - often this structural feature leads to the panel breaking;
• choose lining with the most even edges;
• ideally, the humidity of the product should not exceed 17%;
• when choosing a certain type of lining, make sure that the number of knots meets the requirements;
• cracks on the slats that fall outside the permissible limits indicate overdried wood;
• Make sure that the color and texture of the slats of the lining you are offered correspond to the corresponding type of wood.

Properties of eurolining

Eurolining has the same features as the classic one. But this variety has additional parameters - during its manufacture, they adhere to special standards, as well as more stringent requirements:

1. Eurolining differs in European standards.
2. When laying the panels, a groove remains between them - up to 15 millimeters.
3. The slats can withstand humidity up to 12%, while standard lining can be used at significantly higher humidity levels up to 28%. D
4. This type has a smooth surface on the front side.
5. The panels can remove condensation and relieve stress due to the presence of ventilation grooves.
6. The dimensions also differ from the classic version of the lamellas.
7. When purchasing such lumber, eurolining can be used to carry out finishing work immediately. It undergoes pre-sale preparation, due to this it does not need to be further processed before installation.
8. Before sale, the material is packaged in plastic film for greater protection from minor scratches and damage.

Eurolining is also distinguished by the complete absence of knots, defects, and waviness - the surface is perfectly smooth. However, this result can only be achieved by using German machines. All of these advantages make this type of wooden lining higher quality and more expensive.

Oak paneling

Oak wood is the strongest and most durable material. Thanks to its positive properties, oak shalevka is an elite material. So, in addition to strength, oak exhibits better resistance to moisture and decay processes than others. It is worth noting that there is such a type of finishing material as shalevka made of calm oak. Due to the specific nature of the fastening, this fitting is laid in a horizontal direction, which allows you to obtain a perfectly smooth and even surface.

Aspen paneling

Aspen flooring is mainly a budget option. Aspen is not particularly popular, and in vain. Some shortcomings in appearance are compensated for by the low price, and in terms of its qualities, aspen is not much inferior to other types of wood.

Lining is the most popular natural finishing material today. The quality of the finish directly depends on the correctly selected material. And therefore, the choice of the type of wood from which the shalevka is made should be taken very seriously.

Production of lining imitating natural material

• Panels made of PVC. They are mainly used for finishing ceilings. They are not suitable for walls due to their fragility.
• Metal panels. They are used for special decoration of walls and ceilings.
• MDF lining. The composition of the material is closest to that of wood paneling. For use only in rooms with a dry atmosphere.
• Production of lining parts from a composite material based on wood shavings with the addition of polymers. The resulting material is strong, durable, and has a wide range of colors.

Methods for installing lining for interior decoration

Several methods are used to install wooden lining indoors:

• Assembly on a wooden beam using clamps attached to the beam with nails or self-tapping screws. It is possible to fasten parts with nails directly into the beam at the lower edge of the groove. The base is attached directly to the wall with a dowel nail
• Installation along a metal profile for gypsum plasterboards.
• Fastening the lining directly to the wooden parts of the walls and ceiling.

All methods involve a hidden method of installing wooden parts. Since lining is the final decorative material in interior decoration.
