For any building, including for a country house, exterior decoration is an important stage that requires a careful approach to implementation. External cladding enhances not only the decorative component of the structure, but also helps to keep the walls from premature destruction and external influences.

There are many ways of exterior decoration, which depend on the material of the country house. Therefore, it is important to consider the most commonly used cladding options.

Exterior decoration tasks

External cladding country house performs not only the role of creating a unique appearance of the structure, but also has a number of other equally significant functions. First of all, it serves as a protection for load-bearing structures from adverse effects the environment... Such a shell will help to make the service life of brick, aerated concrete, timber, cinder block and other materials longer.

Often, when finding a summer residence on a hill or open area there is a problem of wind blowing. In this case, the walls cool quickly, and if there are cracks in the house, drafts may appear. The exterior decoration of the country house will become an obstacle to the wind and save households from its constant influence.

Heat in the summer months and frost in the winter - these are other tests for the owners of summer cottages. As a rule, it is the external decoration of the country house that takes the impact on itself, and the walls of the house do not overheat in the heat and do not freeze in winter.

Not the last place is occupied by the aesthetic component. Thanks to the exterior decoration, country house will acquire its unique look. For those who have purchased a ready-made building, it will not be a problem to arrange it as they wish. It is not even difficult to arrange wooden house so that the walls imitate brick. At the same time, it is easy to decorate a stone structure like a wooden one.

Finishing materials

The choice of one or another finish for a country house is a purely individual matter, depending on the tastes of the owner and his capabilities. Someone likes romantic wooden houses, someone gravitates towards brutal brick and stone ones. Among the huge range of finishing materials for country houses especially stand out and are most often used:

• decorative plasters;
• clinker brick;
• plastic panels;
• facing tiles made of stone;
• wood panels, for example, lining or block house.

Materials are often combined to create an original facade. But not only the desire of the owner of the dacha is an indicator when choosing a material for cladding. It is worth considering and specifications the building itself. So, in any case, a wooden country house should not be overloaded with heavy clinker brick or stone panels.

Those for whom the country house is a temporary building often choose budget plastic panels for external decoration. They imitate any coating and can become a full-fledged cladding. But plastic quickly loses its decorative and quality characteristics. It burns out in the sun, cracks from temperature changes, and you can not talk about its environmental friendliness.

More expensive finishing materials are used if the country house is operated not only in the summer months, but also in the winter. If the budget is not strictly limited and there is an opportunity to decorate the cottage with another cladding, then it is better to do so. Exterior finishes, for example, made of stone or wood, will look attractive even after several years. But it is important to be prepared that the installation of the cladding will take a long time.

Block house and penoplex decoration

Many summer residents prefer to carry out the external design of a country house with a block house. But to really turn out high-quality cladding, it is necessary to carry out work in compliance with all recommendations. So, you will need:

1. Conduct a competent calculation of the amount of material with a small margin.
2. Leave the block house for a while after purchase, so that the material "gets used" to the new conditions.
3. Build the crate so that there is a distance of no more than 50 cm between its elements.
4. Fasten the material using the thorn-groove system.
5. Cover the block house after attaching it to the outer walls of the country house with linseed oil or special impregnation that will keep its quality characteristics for a long time.

To save money, you can use vinyl analogs of a block house, with which it is easier and faster to decorate a country house from the outside. In addition, they do not require additional finishing after installation.

So, for example, penoplex allows not only to make a country house outwardly attractive, but also to significantly insulate it. Such a finish is considered to be as reliable as possible, bypassing even fiber cement slabs and siding.

But it is worth remembering that penoplex is attached only to the maximum smooth walls, therefore, before installation, you should make sure of this and, if necessary, correct the situation. Professional builders advise using penoplex with a thickness of about 5 - 6 cm to decorate the facade of a country house. Plates are fastened with dowels or special glue. After installing the foam boards, you can proceed to plastering the house.

Decorative plaster

The use of this finish will be an ideal option if, in the shortest possible time, at minimal cost, you want to bring the facade of the country house into a presentable look. So, when using decorative plaster can be achieved different effect on the facade. It all depends on the type of placeholder used.

There are several types of decorative facade plaster, among which are distinguished:

Acrylic for concrete and brick walls. This material completely safe, resistant to different types environmental influences. Due to its high elasticity, acrylic plaster is ideally applied and adhered to the surface.

Mineral, consisting of cement and polymer additives. It is most often used for finishing brick houses.

Important! The unique properties of the material allow you to remove excess moisture from the outer layer of the cladding.

Silicone. This is the most expensive plaster of the presented, but its high characteristics allow you to apply the mixture to the wall with maximum comfort and further use it. finished coating for a long time.

Facing stone

This finish is chosen by those people who want to show their status even when decorating a country house. Due to its unique natural shape, this material can in most cases be used without pretreating the walls.

Experts distinguish hard rocks, as well as stone of medium and low density. In addition, a wild stone can be distinguished, that is, one that has not been processed in any way and is sawn, which is a tile.

Finishing options by type of summer cottages

As previously noted, country houses They are now being built from a variety of materials, therefore their external decoration is different. That is why it is worth considering the most popular options for country houses and the cladding that suits them.

Houses from a bar

Undoubtedly, wood is considered a classic and one of the best materials for the construction of a country house. So, I immediately want to note that the exterior decoration of a country house from a bar can be carried out only after the structure has completely shrunk. And this happens after 2 - 3 years from the date of completion of construction work.

The greatest interest of the owners of country houses from a bar is caused by such materials for external decoration as stone, decorative plaster, wood and even metal. Many do not deviate from the traditional design and sheathe the dacha from the outside with clapboard.

This approach has its advantages:

1. Reliability and durability of the cladding.
2. Decorative appearance.
3. Ecological cleanliness.
4. The ability to disguise communications under the external finish.
5. Uncomplicated installation that you can handle yourself.

In addition to natural wood, artificial analogues can also be used, which will come out cheaper, but in appearance they will not yield to anything. So, for example, siding helps to make a decent cladding of a country house and forget about painting it for a long time.

In addition to siding, fiber cement plates and thermal panels are often used for the exterior decoration of country houses. It should be noted that such panels are used only if the building has a solid and reliable foundation. But, nevertheless, siding is used most often due to the availability of material, ease of installation and the high quality of the receiving cladding.

In some cases, especially when the owner wants to see his house in a brick design, it is brick that is used. It is fireproof, environmentally friendly and visually attractive, which becomes the starting criteria for choosing. In addition, the use of bricks for the exterior decoration of a house from a bar will increase the heat and sound insulation qualities of the building.

Important! Brick finishes may shrink.

If as cladding wooden house bricks are used, it is important to make ventilation grilles that will be at a distance of 2 - 3 meters from each other. It is necessary to connect a wooden wall to a brick wall only with the help of metal elements. Many are stopped by the cost of such finishing, which is significantly higher than other similar methods.

Aerated concrete house decoration

Country houses are not only wooden, as it used to be in most cases. Now such material as aerated concrete is widespread, which is successfully used in the construction of country houses.

Usually such houses are plastered or used for their exterior decoration with bricks and tiles.

Important! The external decoration of the walls of the aerated concrete country house is carried out only after the completion of the interior decoration. This is necessary for couples to get out through the walls without restrictions.

Ordinary plaster is unlikely to be suitable for covering the walls of a country house from the outside. Professionals advise choosing mixtures that are water-repellent.

For those who wish to complete the finishing of a country house made of aerated concrete in the shortest possible time, we can offer to do this with porcelain stoneware slabs. They are attached to the lathing or to perfectly flat walls using an adhesive solution.

Now an increasing number of summer residents are choosing a metal profile for the exterior design of their house, which previously served as a finishing material for storage facilities... Manufacturers now offer a lot of varieties of metal profiles, so choosing the right one is not difficult at all. Moreover, this material is perfect for both vertical and horizontal finishing.

It is important not just to create exterior decoration a country house that will appeal to the owner visually, but also one that will be combined with the general landscape and style of the house itself. At the same time, not the last place is given to compatibility with the design of the roof of the house.

Professional designers advise using light shades for houses located in northern latitudes, and cold ones for those built in the south. For a harmonious design external walls country house, it is important to consider these recommendations.

Advice! If it is difficult to decide on the color of the exterior design of the country house, then it would be more correct to apply the one that was used in the interior decoration.

The exterior design of a country house can be carried out independently without the involvement of qualified craftsmen. It is enough just to decide in advance with quality material, by the method of its fastening and carry out work in accordance with the installation instructions corresponding to a particular cladding.

Conclusion

In order for the house to look aesthetically pleasing after the exterior decoration, a number of requirements must be taken into account and the right material must be selected. Only selection and installation in accordance with all the rules can guarantee that the facade of the country house can be operated for a long time without fear of losing its appearance and quality characteristics.

What to choose for facing the facade of a house, which material is better, how long will it last, how much does it correspond to the architectural features of the building and interior decoration? Perhaps these are the main questions that the owner of a private house on final stage construction or major repairs, when the time is right to choose materials for finishing the facade of a private house.

Decorating the house like a person's clothing - protects and decorates

Facade decoration as part of the overall idea - what to look for

Selection of materials for facade decoration depends on many factors. Of course, there is no universal answer to the question of what is the best way to revet the facade of a house. Here are just the main points to consider:

the facade is the appearance of the building, which forms the impression of its architectural features;

the exterior of the house should organically fit into the general space of the site, taking into account the rest of the buildings and the landscape;

the style must correspond to the prevailing national traditions;

design and materials of external and interior decoration should harmoniously complement each other and work for a common idea;

the cladding should be carried out using energy-saving technologies.

Installation of insulation is increasingly perceived as a mandatory part finishing works

And the main task that needs to be solved is to keep within a certain budgetary framework.

Classics of style

There are such classic finishing materials for the facades of private houses: brick, wood and plaster. They also use natural stone, but tiles made from it are expensive, so they often choose a modern analogue - facade porcelain stoneware.

Brick

This finishing material cannot be called cheap in terms of a one-time investment.

Facade finishing can transform frame house in brick

But taking into account the service life of tens of years, the absence of the need to repair the facade and ease of maintenance, the situation changes to the exact opposite - this is one of the most profitable types of cladding. But it also has its own hierarchy:

Facing ceramic bricks. The most inexpensive type - the price of a single starts at 7.60 rubles. and can go up to 17 rubles. per piece (depending on the manufacturer's plant and decorative texture front surface). The cost of 1 m2 is in the range of 390-850 rubles.

Hyper-pressed brick. Price of one building block twice as expensive as ceramic bricks, but this type has its own formats, so it is better to compare prices for 1 m2 of masonry in half a brick. Relatively inexpensive option will cost 900-950 rubles, with a textured surface - twice as expensive.

Clinker brick. The most durable, but also the most expensive look facing brick industrial production. If you round up the prices a little, then 1 piece. will cost from 20 to 90 rubles, and 1 m2, respectively, will cost 900-4300 rubles.

The variegated Bavarian clinker brickwork gives the house a special chic

Hand-molded bricks. Like clinker, it is an elite material. Piece cost from 40 rubles. and higher (there are models that are four times more expensive than the lower price). But taking into account different formats, it is better to quote the price of 1 m2, and it starts from 2100 rubles. and can reach the mark of 14,000 rubles.

Prices shown do not include shipping, mortar and labor costs. And if you still carry out insulation, then you need to add on the costs for this part (although this stage is common for most facade cladding technologies).

If you choose hand-molded clinker or brick, then there is an opportunity to save money - choose a domestic manufacturer (the lower price thresholds are indicated for him). But the standard of quality is considered to be products from Germany.

And to dispel claims about the benefits of ceramic tiles under a brick - the price clinker tiles almost does not differ from brick, and the cost of 1 m2 of hand-molded tiles can reach the level of 8,000 rubles. And it all depends on the chosen brand. When choosing a tile, you can only save on the foundation due to the lighter weight of the cladding.

The weight of the tiles is clearly less than that of bricks.

On our site you can find contacts of construction companies that offer. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the Low-Rise Country exhibition of houses.

Therefore, when it is necessary to choose what to revet the facade of the house with inexpensively and beautifully, it is better to use domestic facing bricks.

Wood

This material is also in demand for decoration. country houses in a rustic style, and for modern cottages in the eco-style that is popular today.

Therefore, all types of facade wooden panels are in use:

Facade lining. It differs from the interior only in thickness (14 mm and above). The cost of 1 m2 depends on the type of wood, grade and humidity. Inexpensive pine lining of natural moisture costs 170-220 rubles, and larch of the "Extra" class will cost 1200-1350 rubles. (which is comparable to the cost of domestic clinker bricks). The width of the panel also affects the price of a "unit of area" - a narrow lining is cheaper.

Sheathing a house with clapboard is one of the most inexpensive and attractive options.

Imitation of a bar. This is practically the same lining of the "standard" type (with a chamfer), but thicker. The minimum price for 1 m2 of "VS" pine is 220 rubles. (with a thickness of 18 mm), and for class "A" and a thickness of 21 mm you will have to pay one and a half times more. A larch panel with a thickness of 20 mm will cost 800 rubles / m2 (class "AB") and 1400 rubles / m2 (class "Extra").

There are practically no external differences from the usual facade lining in imitation of a bar

Block house. The difference from the lining is the rounded surface "like a log" (imitation of a log house). Pine with a thickness of 27 mm and a width of 135 mm will cost around 300 rubles / m2 ("BC"), a thickness of 45 mm and a width of 230 mm - 650-750 rubles / m2 ("A"). The same house block made of larch costs on average 2.5 times more.

House block imitates the wall of a log house

Planken. Another type of sheathing board, but without fastening to each other "thorn-groove". It happens with an oblique and straight profile, and the most characteristic difference is the gap between the panels. It costs approximately the same as an imitation of a bar.

Planken fits perfectly into the modern architectural style

Plaster

This is the most inexpensive type of facade decoration. But here, too, there are "economy" and "extra" classes:

Mineral facade plaster based on cement, lime and mixtures thereof. The simplest type of leveling plaster costs from 220-250 rubles. per bag of dry mix weighing 25 kg. At a consumption rate of about 12-15 kg per 1m2 (with a layer thickness of 10 mm), it is necessary to spend only 110-120 rubles per “unit of area”. Plus primer, work and facade paint.

Example of finishing with mineral facade plaster

Mineral decorative plaster. If you plaster in two layers - basic and decorative, then they also use plaster like "fur coat", "bark beetle" or "pebble". A 25 kg bag costs 360-800 rubles, but due to a thin layer, the consumption is less - from 2.5 kg to 4 kg per 1 m2, and this will increase the price by another 60-120 rubles / m2. In total, about 250-400 rubles / m2 should be spent on all materials for inexpensive finishing of the facade of a house made of mineral plaster. But these are the prices of domestic producers, "foreign" decorative plaster can cost at least 3 times more.

Plaster with "bark beetle" effect is always available in assortment with any type of binder

Acrylic plaster. It is sold ready-made or diluted to the required consistency with water. Consumption from 1.5 to 3.5 kg / m2 (the thinnest layers can be applied even with a spray gun). Depending on the weight of the package, 1 kg of domestic plaster costs 70-90 rubles. Taking into account the consumption, the cost of finishing materials is in the range of 100-300 rubles / m2. Plus it is necessary to add the costs for the leveling layer of mineral plaster, primer, work and paint.

Acrylic facade plaster looks good not only in one color, but also when combined

Silicate plaster. Ceresite per kilogram costs 100-120 rubles, which at a consumption rate of 3-3.5 kg / m2 determines the cost of finishing materials at the level of 300-400 rubles / m2 (but this is not a purely silicate binder, but in combination with silicone resins ). And it is more expensive than finishing with acrylic plaster. If you choose a mix of imported production, the cost of finishing doubles.

Silicate plaster with a rough surface is not afraid of temperature drops and high humidity

Silicone plaster. If you do not take into account the "hybrid" Ceresite and mixtures with a binder in combination with acrylic polymers, then in pure form the most inexpensive facade silicone plaster in terms of a kilogram costs at least 150 rubles, and on average - about 200 rubles. Consumption like the rest decorative coatings, depends on the grain size of the filler (layer thickness), and can range from 2.5 to 4 kg / m2. Therefore, this type is the most expensive - the cost of the finishing coating is 350-800 rubles / m2, and this is already comparable to the price of facing with domestic ceramic bricks.

Colors and textures of silicone plaster allow you to choose it for any artistic idea

Siding

This is the general name for a whole group of materials that differ in material of manufacture and performance. Many factors influence the formation of prices, and the range of prices, even in one category, is very large. Therefore, the statement about the low cost of this type of decoration is not entirely correct. Although there is a certain hierarchy here, and the question arises of how to decorate the facade from the presented types of siding:

Vinyl wall siding. The price of products of a domestic manufacturer starts from 165 rubles / m2 and reaches 500 rubles / m2 (and this is with the same thickness of 1.1 mm). For imported siding, you will have to pay twice as much - up to 1000 rubles / m2.

Vinyl siding - inexpensive and aesthetically pleasing

Vinyl basement siding. It differs from the wall in greater thickness and high mechanical strength. Therefore, for domestic manufacturers, the price starts from 470 rubles / m2 and reaches 1300 rubles / m2. To buy imported siding, you need to pay 1000-2000 rubles. more.

Clearly about vinyl siding look at the video:

Metal siding. In terms of price, it doesn't cost much more than vinyl wall siding. Moreover, the cost is influenced not so much by the origin as by the thickness of the metal and the type of coating. But in any case, the range of prices is not so significant. For example, domestic siding 0.4 mm thick with a polyester coating costs from 260 rubles / m2, and Finnish siding 0.5 mm thick and covered with pural will cost 800 rubles / m2.

Metal siding can be made in many textures, including wood imitation. Video example:

Fiber cement siding and WPC board(wood-polymer composite). Materials of approximately the same cost - 1000-2000 rubles / m2. The main reason for the high cost is imports. But when compared with foreign vinyl basement siding, then this is the same price category.

WPC siding visually does not differ from planken from natural wood, but will last much longer

If the task is how to decorate the facade of the house inexpensively, then domestic-made vinyl or steel siding as part of curtain facade- the most optimal option. Although here, additional costs for accessories will be required (up to 30% of the cost of panels).

Conclusion

The most popular types of facade finishing are given. In principle, in each category there are options that allow you to keep within 500 rubles. at the price of materials per square meter. And you just need to decide which one is better suited to the architecture of the house, landscape and interior decoration.

The design of the cottage inside is as important as the exterior of the building. The dacha is traditionally considered a place of relaxation and unity with nature. Here it does not matter at all whether there is a capital house or country houses made of block containers on the site, the main thing is to ensure coziness and comfort, without which a high-quality suburban vacation is unthinkable.

In this article, we have tried to provide an overview of the most acceptable options for interior decoration.

Preparatory work

When deciding what to decorate the cottage inside, it should be remembered that the specifics of a country house does not provide for regular heating in winter period ().

Moreover, if you plan to visit the site in winter, then the interior decoration of the summer house must withstand sharp drops temperatures during heating.

• Facing or repairing the cottage inside refers to finishing work and should be carried out after the installation of all plumbing communications and electrical wiring is completed.
• All work should be started from the back room, if the house is two-story, then from the top floor, gradually moving towards the exit.
• In the case when there is a possibility of staining the already tiled surface, for example, when plastering, it is better to cover it with plastic wrap.
• Plastering work, as well as whitewashing or painting, is carried out from top to bottom.
• Naturally all necessary tool and materials should be prepared in advance.

Finishing options

Before decorating the walls inside the country house, think about how often you are going to change the interior. For a dynamic nature that does not tolerate monotony, it is better to plaster or coat the surface with drywall. If the dacha interior with your own hands inside is done once and for many years, then you can use the clapboard, laminate or plastic panels.

Ceiling cladding

• The most common option for finishing the ceiling is traditionally considered to be whitewashing or painting. Absolutely any healthy person can make such a cladding. Its price, in comparison with the rest of the options, is the most acceptable, the painting instructions are also familiar to almost everyone from childhood.

Tip: the fastest option is to use a spray gun powered by a household vacuum cleaner, but with this painting, all other surfaces must be covered with foil.

• The suspended ceiling can be made of plasterboard or stretch ceilings, but in any case, do not forget to leave a few holes around the perimeter to ensure proper ventilation, they can be easily decorated with special plugs. In plasterboard ceilings, the issue of ventilation is solved with the help of built-in lamps.
• Nowadays, the lining on the ceiling is very popular. Thanks to the mounting brackets and the special shape of the board, the ceiling is sewn up completely, without visible gaps. In this case, the nails are used only for fastening the mounting brackets and are covered with a board.
• For ecological style or country style, it would be appropriate to use unedged boards... Its rough shapes will give the room the appearance of a forest hut. Only in this case, the board must be sewn in two layers to hide the natural gaps between the planks.
• Do-it-yourself cottage design inside can be done using so-called breathing beams. If such load-bearing beams on the ceiling, the structure is not provided, then a dummy is made and decorated with a natural wood. They will look especially beautiful on the broken ceiling of the attic.

Wall decoration

1. V brick houses the arrangement of the dacha inside can be done by plastering. Such a coating will be versatile and durable. Plastered walls can be painted or pasted over with wallpaper, but the process itself requires serious professional skills and such facing will cost a lot.
2. If a periodic change of scenery is envisaged, then the use of drywall would be the best solution.

This material is of two types.

• GKL - gypsum plasterboard, consists of alabaster, pasted over on both sides with cardboard, the material is not highly durable and is used more for the installation of ceiling structures. Plus, the gypsum board is afraid of moisture, so it is not suitable for the walls of a country house.

• GVL is a gypsum fiber sheet, the filler here is also alabaster, but it contains reinforcing fibers for internal reinforcement. Plus, instead of ordinary cardboard, a moisture-resistant cellulose coating is used. You can safely drive nails into such walls and, most importantly, they are not afraid of dampness.

1. Wall decoration in the country with clapboard is one of the easiest and available options... The material is environmentally friendly. Initially, horizontal guide rails with a pitch of 50 - 70 cm are stuffed onto the walls, the strips are attached to them with mounting brackets. The tree should be pre-treated with an antiseptic, depending on the style of the interior, the lining can be varnished.
2. In the same way, you can sheathe the walls with laminate, but as in the case of drywall, you need to take a moisture-resistant material.
3. Plastic panels are currently one of the most popular materials. The installation technology here is almost the same as that of a laminate or wall paneling. But there are many more decor options, plus plastic is currently considered one of the most durable and unpretentious materials.

Tip: you can use wallpaper in the country, but there is a high probability that they will come off due to the temperature difference. Therefore, if you do not plan to re-glue the wallpaper every spring, it is better to just paint the walls with acrylic paint.

How to cover the floor

Initially, it is better to make a rigid screed on the floor from mixtures based on porous materials, such as expanded clay. On such a basis, you can lay a floorboard, laminate or linoleum.

It is better to take a tongue-and-groove floorboard, since after wintering it can lead. As mentioned earlier, only waterproof laminate is taken. But the most practical and easiest to install is linoleum.

Advice: in a beautifully finished dacha it is pleasant not only to relax in the summer, but also to meet the winter holidays. So that the holiday is not overshadowed by a sudden blackout, it is better to purchase a generator or use such a useful service as renting a diesel generator for a summer residence.

The video in this article shows some of the points of arrangement.

Finishing work will have a long-term effect, provided that the materials for the walls, floor and ceiling are correctly selected. The information provided below will acquaint you with the main factors affecting the quality of the interior decoration of a country house with periodic and permanent residence. The article describes all types of finishing materials: plaster, paint and varnish, roll, tile and rack; as well as the main styles of living room decoration.

Living room interior of a country house

Interior decoration: where to start

Most owners of country houses strive to create a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere in their homes. Whether the house will delight you with coziness is largely determined by the choice of wall decoration method. Until a few decades ago, interior decoration consisted of plastering walls; then the walls were painted or covered with wallpaper. Today, the construction market is filled with a variety of finishing materials, and you have every opportunity to create an original design.

When comparing finishes, it is important not to forget about the type of walls in your home, since what they are made of determines the choice of finishing material. The interior decoration of a country house is also carried out taking into account some additional factors, including:

Seasonality factor... If you visit your dacha in the summer or on weekends, it is likely that the house does not have constant heating. In this case, for finishing, it is worth choosing materials that tolerate high humidity and low temperatures well.

Rustic living room

Style factor... Certain materials and colors are preferred for different interior styles.

Time factor... If you don't like frequent renovations, it is better to opt for high-quality finishes in natural shades. If you love change and start renovating every few years, think about budget materials that allow you to do it quickly (plaster, drywall, wallpaper).

Preparation factor... It is necessary to carefully calculate (and not estimate) the amount of material required. This simple rule will save you from unexpected work stoppages and additional spending(which is very unpleasant).

Order factor... Finishing internal surfaces counts finishing work... To do it, you should wait until the installation of electrical wiring and plumbing communications is completed.

How often are you ready to repair

The choice of material for a house with periodic residence

The interior decoration of the cottage is carried out taking into account the type of walls, the factor of seasonality and the personal preferences of the owners. If the house is used periodically, the following options will be preferred:

Brick walls... It is not prohibited to use any kind of finish here. The classic way to give a brick wall a dramatic look is to use wet plaster. It should be remembered that without constant heating, condensation forms on the brick surface; in this case, choose a moisture-resistant cement-based plaster.

Walls made of foam concrete blocks... Foam concrete is known for its high level of water absorption. This feature cannot be ignored, therefore a primer is applied to the walls in several layers. deep penetration that strengthens the porous substrate and reduces paint consumption. The next step is gypsum plastering and painting with vapor barrier paint.

Installation of sheet plasterboard on foam concrete

Aerated concrete walls... For their decoration, lining, gypsum plaster, drywall is preferable. In areas with long winters, a layer of thermal insulation will not interfere.

Frame walls... The surface is sewn up with OSB (multilayer oriented strand board). This will help increase the strength of the wall and improve heat and moisture resistance. The finishing of the cottage inside is done with paint, you can use wallpaper instead.

Walls made of profiled or glued beams... If you want to improve sound and heat insulation, wall panels, slatted materials and drywall are suitable. Natural wooden walls usually tend to be left intact, covered with wax or varnish, unless the design requires a different solution. You should also remember about the shrinkage of the wooden structure, and do not rush to the finishing until the end of this natural process.

Log walls, rounded beams... They also do not need special finishing.

Log walls are gorgeous in nature

Wall decoration in a country house with permanent residence

If a family plans to live in a country house all year round, then the possibilities of interior design expand significantly. In this case, the finish is chosen based on the type of building (wall material), the purpose of the room and the allocated budget. To decorate the walls of the premises, you can use the materials of the following groups:

Plastering materials

Plaster can perform two functions: protective and decorative. There are two types of plaster, differing in the technology of execution. The first is wet (monolithic) plaster, a plastic aqueous solution of several components. The second type is dry plaster, produced in the form gypsum boards(GKP), wall and ceiling.

Decorative plastering

Usage wet plaster has several advantages. It allows you to qualitatively level the wall surface, correcting minor defects. Thanks to coloring, you can easily get the desired shade of the coating, which (another plus) will be very durable. The disadvantage can be considered the process of plastering itself - long-term, requiring the maintenance of special conditions in the room until the end of drying. Water-based mixtures are divided into two types:

Plaster... Depending on the composition, there are cement, lime and gypsum plaster. All of them are used to level the surface, after which the selected finish is applied to the prepared base. Depending on the specifics of the design, this can be wallpaper, tiles, paint or another layer of plaster, this time decorative.

Decorative plaster... A topcoat that creates the effect of a natural texture on any surface - marble, velvet or leather. Acrylic varieties are popular, intended for protective and decorative treatment in rooms with a high content of water vapor.

Varieties of decorative plaster

The liquid wallpaper... They are a kind of decorative plaster, used for walls and ceilings in any dry room. The mixture contains natural fibers (cellulose, cotton or silk), high quality dyes, additives (quartz chips, glitter).

CAREFULLY!

The installation of sandwich panels should be entrusted to professionals, since minor mistakes can reduce the thermal insulation qualities of the cladding.

Particular attention should be paid to the places where the slabs are connected.

Sandwich panels

Natural and artificial stone

Facade stone can be natural, which is classified by rock, and artificial, which is an imitation of a natural rock or organic mineral.

Natural stone

There are several types of stone cladding for masonry:

• "From the plate";
• Castle;
