With the advent of the block house on the market, an ideal alternative to the modern euro lining appeared. This material is produced according to the latest technology and science, and this is not an exaggeration. Decorating with a block house inside the house creates a special atmosphere in the room, gives it a unique effect and fills it with the aroma of freshly planed wood. And if the block house is made of wood conifers, it has a beneficial effect on the health of residents. If you are interested in technology and want to finish the interior with this material, then you will be interested in this article, which will talk about the advantages of this material and the technology of its installation.

Dignity

The main and most significant plus of the block house is the ease of installation. Even a layman can install it. From the outside, the product has a tubular shape, and on the ribs there are special grooves-fasteners for joining. The environmental friendliness of the product deserves special attention. Wood has no harmful effect on the human body. The material itself is quite lightweight, which has a beneficial effect on the entire structure of the house, since there will be no additional loads on the walls and foundation. Finishing the premises with a block house improves the quality of the soundproofing of the premises.

The use of this material makes it easy to combine or highlight different elements of the design of the room.

Material selection

In order for the interior cladding of the house to please the eye as a result, it is necessary to pay attention to the choice of the material from which the block house is made. For example, products made from conifers... The spruce has many knots, which creates an unusual sketch in the plane. The pine, on the other hand, exhibits excellent structure. If you combine them, you get a wonderful ensemble of pine needles aromas and the attractive appearance of pine.

If the block house will be mounted in a steam room, then it is better to choose linden or poplar. The needles are not suitable, since when high temperatures harmful resins are released from it. Moreover, these rocks get very hot as a result of which you can get burns in contact with the wall in the steam room.

Hardwood is another good option. Such wood is quite hard. It resists mold, mildew and decay very well. Moreover, the material is resistant to cracking and warping. As a rule, the wood is treated with an antibacterial compound. It is better to do this before installation, so the material will be well impregnated.

Before the start installation works make sure you have purchased all the necessary accessories, namely the outside and inside corners and docking panels.

As for the size of the panels, you should pay attention to their width. If you are holding a panel with a width of 23 cm, then it is usually used for exterior decoration of the house. For interior decoration, a panel with a width of 8 cm is preferable. However, this is not a rule. The width of the panel can be any width, depending on your preference. Also pay attention to the length of the product. Usually the strip has from 2 to 6 m. The price depends on the length of the panel, the longer the more expensive. This also applies to the thickness of the strip. Usually it ranges from 2-4.5 cm. For interior cladding the room will be thick enough - 2 cm.

Installation of long and thin panels of the block house visually increases the area indoor space... This effect is further enhanced by the use of light wood species.

When you have decided on the size of the panels, you also need to take into account the class of the block house. Dearest construction material class "Extra" is considered. There are no defects on its surface at all. One knot is allowed per 1 m of the product.

The use of a block house of the "Extra" class is usually used in elite premises, since the price for it is quite high.

If you do not belong to a consumer of such a high class, then consider panels, class "A" and "B". Such products will have slight mechanical damage and knots. Accordingly, the price is much lower. Moreover, the presence of chips and knots does not represent big problem... For example, obvious defects can be hidden in unsightly places in a corner or behind furniture.

On the market you can find a block house that imitates a bar and a log. The effect of a log is in great demand, since after installation it is extremely difficult to find differences from a natural log. One gets the impression that the house was built from a log!

Easy way to count the right material: multiply the height of the wall by its length. Door area and window openings calculate. Add 10% to the amount received. This volume represents the amount of base material. Next, measure the inner and outer length of the corners, add the resulting sums together. The number of lathing is calculated according to the following scheme: multiply the number of rows by the height of the wall. If the height of the room is 5 m, then there will be 5-6 rows.

When you have made a choice and purchased required material, you should prepare workplace... It is desirable that a day before the start of installation, the block house adapts to room temperature... To do this, you can leave it indoors for a day. After that, the grooves and back side it is important to treat with an antiseptic, for example, Tikkurila, Neomid or Aquatex. The walls are treated with waterproofing.

Among other things, prepare the tool. For work you will need:

• screwdriver;
• grinder;
• drill;
• hammer;
• a hacksaw for wood or a jigsaw;
• level, plumb line or mounting thread;
• mounting screw 30 mm;
• pump room for varnish and stain;
• roller 250 mm wide;
• brush 5 and 10 cm wide.

As for the material, then you need to purchase:

• block house;
• timber 40 × 50 mm;
• timber 25 × 50 mm;
• external and internal decorative corners;
• skirting boards;
• stain;
• antiseptic;
• fireproof impregnation.

With all this in place, you can get to work.

All work consists of several sequential processes, the first of which is the manufacture of the lathing. It is installed vertically, with a step of 600-700 mm. Drill holes for mounting dowels or self-tapping screws in each timber with a drill. The beam at the corner should be secured with a level. If the wall is uneven, then a additional element... It can be cut from a 45 × 50 mm bar. Installation in the opposite corner is done in the same way.

For fastening, you can use drywall hangers. They will make it easier to adjust the distance from the wall.

Each board should be fastened to the crate with self-tapping screws at an angle of 30-45 °. But here it is important not to rush! Use a thin drill to drill a hole in the panel and only then screw in the self-tapping screw. When laying the first plank, make a small indent from the floor, up to 1 cm. It is necessary for ventilation, which will prevent possible deformation of the material. This also applies to the top. For processing outdoor and inner corners better use special elements. The panel is inserted into them and then fixed. At the end of the work above and below, install a ceiling and, accordingly, a floor plinth.

After complete installation block house, take grinder and sand the surface. Take your time when doing this work. One careless movement can damage the surface of the board. Next, cover the surface with an antiseptic (if the panels have not been pretreated with it), fireproofing and stain. To distribute the stain evenly over the plane, use a roller, and in the corners of the brush. After complete drying, repeat the staining procedure.

If burrs or chips are found at this stage, clean them sandpaper.

As you can see, there are no special technological difficulties in assembling a block house. All work must be done slowly and carefully, according to the principle "measure 7 times - cut once!" Also take into account the following helpful advice that are not included in the material already described:

• The moisture content of the material should not exceed KD 8-12%. Otherwise, there is a risk of cracks and deformation.
• If you do not want to use corner connectors, cut 30 ° at the ends of the plank. seamy side... So, the fit of the boards will be tight.
• In order not to break the edge of the board, sand the butt along the joint with sandpaper.
• Inspect the surface of the product before purchasing. Often there are knots falling out and a green coating that spoils appearance wood.
• It is advisable to apply varnish to the block house during wet rooms... The stain emphasizes the structure of the wood product.
• To twist the screws, use special "cue balls". They have a magnetized tip.
• Do not use nails when attaching the planks.
• Varnish and stain must be natural.
• Thoroughly wash the roller and brush after each coat of varnish and stain.

There are many products available to help protect the sheathing surface. For example, wax or special primers can be used. Their presence will occasionally require dusting with a vacuum cleaner. You can also use a slightly damp sponge. In surface treatment, do not use aggressive detergents and abrasive materials.

So, the use of a block house for wall cladding wooden house will add originality to the room and create the old atmosphere of a log house. With all this, the installation work can be done by hand. It is enough to have a simple set of tools described in this article. It will be interesting for us and our readers to learn about your own experience. Leave comments at the end of the article if you have already sheathed the inner walls with a block house.

Video

The provided video materials tell you about working with a block house:

House block is a special type of house cladding that looks like a wagon board, on the one hand, which looks like a high-quality rounded log. Possessing high practical and aesthetic characteristics, the block house today is the most demanded material, and it is used both outside the house and inside. The main advantage of the material is the presence of a thorn-groove connecting system, so every owner can sheathe a house with a house block without much hassle.

When to use this finish

As a rule, if the building is made of bricks, sheets, slabs or blocks, there are no questions about why to sheathe your house with clapboard. But what about wooden frame? Undoubtedly sheathed, here's why:

1. In the case of building a log house "in the paw" inside the house, finishing will be required, the block house is ideal for this.
2. If the log house is erected from a profiled bar, the finishing will help to achieve the style of "Russian hut" and additionally protect Wall panels from negative impact.
3. For all buildings, the house block is an ideal finishing material that will last for many years, while it is easy to place additional heat-insulating material under the cladding.

Important! All cladding work can be carried out only after the structure has completely shrunk.

When choosing a product on the market, you should be careful, many manufacturers offer a false log - an option that is not equipped with connecting grooves, which creates certain difficulties during installation. In the case of cladding a house with a block house with your own hands, the procedure is simple, of course, if you do not have to create intricate structures.

Finishing: work in stages

How to sheathe a house with cladding, let's figure it out in detail:

1. First, preparatory work, consisting in the creation of a preliminary lathing. It will come in handy both inside the house and outside, depending on what kind of areas are being finished.
2. Square bars 30 * 30 mm are packed vertically in increments of 0.5-0.6 m, fastening can be done with nails, strips and do not forget about the processing of the bar.
3. At this stage, it is worth deciding on the need for additional insulation and be sure to level the installation of the battens with a level.
4. As soon as the lathing on the walls is ready, proceed with the installation of the house block. Regardless of the type and type of panels, fastening always starts from bottom to top.

When it comes to fixing the planks, there are two ways:

1. Using galvanized clay, which is bent into the groove with one part, the other is attached to the lathing bar using a screw. After that, the panel is linked to the next one and the process is repeated. Positive sides type of fastening is the strength and reliability of the masonry. Sometimes it is acceptable to use liquid nails to enhance strength. At the same time, the panel itself does not require screws and nails, therefore the risk of panel deformation is reduced to zero. Watch the video from the professionals to understand the whole process in detail.
2. The second option provides for fixing the panel to the lathing bar with self-tapping screws... To do this, you need to make a hole in the board equal to half of its thickness. After that, a screw is heated into the hole, and then the hole will be caulked flush with the board, as shown in the video. The house block is now securely fastened, while the screw head is not visible. The method is laborious and there is a risk of damaging the lamellae during installation.

Advice! If you have a lot of experience facing works, you can use the option of hammering nails into the groove of the board at an angle of 45 degrees. The method is complex, requires skill and the minimal shift of the nail immediately injures the lamella.

There are several difficulties that can be encountered home master, who wants to decorate the walls inside the house with a block house with his own hands:

• Docking of panels in the corners. It is better to use special corners of the plinth, fitting parts of the lamellas under them. To do this, both walls of the corner are driven out, then the joint is hidden with a semicircular or flat element and fastened with liquid nails.
• Especially sharp corners should be hidden behind a timber strip, it can be decorative, if it is an internal finish, and of a single color, if an external facade is faced.
• Installing a panel that fits into the ceiling can also complicate the process a little. If the ceiling is not finished, then in the process of facing all the irregularities will be hidden later, and if the ceiling is finished, the decorative cornice will skillfully hide the cracks.
• Window openings and doors require special platbands. Thus, all cracks and backlashes are hidden, and the risk of snow, rain and wind entering the premises is minimized. Platbands can be mounted on nails, glue, screws.

Regardless of the choice of technology, the walls under the block house cladding, there is no need to cook thoroughly. The crate can be stuffed on old paint, plaster, uneven panels, the main thing is that the frame holds well, and everything else will be covered with a house block.

After finishing the installation, it is better to walk the varnish over the surface. In addition to additional protection, tint varnish will give the structure the necessary color range and complement interior interior, if rooms in the house were tiled.

Features of cladding a wooden block house

Wood cladding requires its own technological subtleties:

1. You cannot use ordinary nails, self-tapping screws - they will quickly rust. It is best to use galvanized metal fasteners.
2. The construction of the frame is an obligatory step; under the cladding, you can lay a heater, a vapor-permeable and windproof membrane.
3. As soon as the installation of the lathing is completed, the panels are laid out in one of the ways described earlier.
4. To prevent a possible process of decay, damage wood block Hausa, panels should be treated with compositions at least once every 5-6 years.

As a rule, the house block goes well with the decoration of the basement with artificial, natural or slab finishing materials. The combination of siding and block house looks good.

Finishing types

There is a variant of cladding made of plastic, wood, metal:

1. Wooden blockhouse is made of coniferous wood and has a class A or B. The latter is characterized by the presence of cracks and cannot be used for exterior cladding- such material will spoil the very first winter.

Important! To pick up good material, it is worth looking at thermal conditions and durability. If these are planks with the "winter" indicator, then the strength of the material meets all the customer's requirements: the panels will not crack, deform or peel off from frost.

1. Metal blockhouse – new material, which is devoid of the disadvantages of wood, but does not differ at all in the warmth and naturalness of wood.
2. Vinyl blockhouse- the most demanded product on the market of finishing materials. Low price and high rates quality made the products in demand. In this case, the developer can always choose the desired shade. And if it is a stable manufacturer and supplier, vinyl block the house will stand flawlessly for more than a dozen years, without losing its original qualities.

Knowing how to sheathe a house with clapboard by looking at the photo and choosing suitable option decor, it remains only to clarify how much the material costs and proceed to facing the facade, interior walls the premises of your home. As you can see, the cladding does not carry any difficulties, special tools and special knowledge are not required: to give the house a perfect look and achieve this with minimal investment- this is the main task that can be solved with the help of "American lining", as the house block is also called.

The appearance of residential buildings reflects the individuality of the owners. The cladding of the house with a block house creates a presentable covering, conducive to unity with nature. Moreover, it is not so difficult to work with the products, which allows you to avoid unnecessary expenses. The main thing is strict adherence to the features and a few nuances.

To sheathe the outside of the house, different variants... Among them, the main ones are distinguished:

On a note! Block house houses can be clad with acrylic and plastic varieties, but the first option has a higher cost, and the second is of poor quality.

Among polymer coatings acrylic "Block House" is considered to be of the highest quality, since, unlike vinyl, it does not fade in the sun

How to fix a block house?

Before sheathe a house with a block house, you need to decide on the technology of work. Installation can be done in three ways:

• Directly to the base. In such a situation, the parts are laid directly on the carefully prepared wall. The option is inconvenient in that it excludes the possibility of using insulation and requires leveling the surface.
• On the erected crate. This method allows you to get the job done much faster. Feasibility of use thermal insulation material is determined depending on the type of building and climatic features of the area.
• With the creation of a ventilation facade. This structure consists of several successive layers: vapor barrier, counter-lattice, insulation, membrane, main frame struts and finishing material.

The most popular exterior cladding scheme is considered to be a ventilated facade with insulation.

Each option has advantages and disadvantages and is selected depending on the specific situation.

Grafted exterior cladding with a block house

All work on cladding a house with a block house with their own hands begins with the definition of the basic technological rules for installation, which will avoid mistakes in the future.

First of all, you need to understand the nuances of fixing each variety:

Much attention is paid to docking in different situations.

In case of a shortage of the length of the parts for one wall, you need to take care of a beautiful joint, otherwise the appearance will be spoiled. There are several ways to solve this problem:

Smooth joining of panels looks nice, but installation with a cover plate is much easier

When connecting parts of adjacent walls, the angle can be external and internal, most of the joints of houses belong to the first option. Contemporary cladding involves the application corner profile, which is superimposed on the docking area. For the inner segment, such an option is also provided - this is a part with grooves into which the edges are recessed.

For wood materials the corner is made of two thin strips, the inner and outer sections are connected by cutting. This provides a beautiful transition and does not disrupt the perception of the building as a timber frame.

These nuances help you choose the best option and avoid further problems.

It is quite difficult to cut corner strips at 45º, so it is better for a beginner to mount an overhead board

House cladding using a block house with your own hands

Exterior finishing involves the execution of work in a strict sequence, this will allow you to achieve the desired result.

Material preparation

If artificial products are used for cladding, then preparation is not required. But before sheathe the house natural material, serious processing is needed:

With the help of stain and other decorative impregnations, the appearance wood cladding can be radically changed

Preparation of the base

A do-it-yourself block house is laid on the surface by any convenient method. Fastening directly is possible only in cases where the base has been prepared.

The most preferable is to create a wireframe:

If work is carried out on a base that has cracks and cracks, then the defects are pre-filled. Old wooden surfaces are treated with an antiseptic.

On a note! The lathing for metal and vinyl types of material is made from a galvanized profile.

A crate made of UD and CD profiles is mounted under the metal panels.

Mounting

Do-it-yourself installation of a block house takes place according to a certain scheme:

The finished surface is left for some time. If used wooden block house, then it is covered with an additional layer of protection: depending on the previous treatment, it can be varnish or paint.

Internal work

The house, sheathed with a block house, with correct execution process always looks attractive, but the material looks no less impressive inside the building. This use of panels has some features:

• Only natural products are used, since plastic imitation does not provide the necessary comfort.
• For wall cladding, smaller parts are purchased, this avoids the congestion of the room.

For interior decoration, it is advisable to use small-format panels.

• The processing of the elements may not be as thorough, because the coating will not be affected by an aggressive environment.

The general installation process completely coincides with exterior decoration... The main thing is to follow the rules for choosing products and the nuances of styling.

Blockhouse is a finishing material made of wood or completely imitating wood. For a building made of timber or logs, this is one of best options finishes, as it makes it possible to preserve beauty and style wooden wall and at the same time provide it with maximum protection from external influences.

Decorating a house from a bar with a blockhouse is widely used in suburban housing construction, since it allows you to design any building in different ways. How is the decoration of a house made of timber with imitation of a log carried out?

Preparatory work before finishing

The blockhouse is a wooden or plastic panels, which outwardly completely copy the color and texture of the log wall and its semicircular shape.

This finishing option can be used for insulated walls using the ventilated facade technology: with its help, it is possible to protect the insulation and at the same time maintain a pleasant appearance of the house.

Imitation of a log, as a material, is also used in interior decoration, and it can be used to provide a beautiful and stylish interior.

Blockhouse cladding log house requires a long preparatory work, since you need to secure the wall reliable protection from various damaging factors. The following types of work must be performed:

• Antiseptic treatment at home. It is carried out in order to protect the walls from decay, to protect them from the effects of fungus, mold and insects. All wooden surface in several layers it is impregnated with antiseptic solutions, after which it is necessary to wait until it dries completely.

Antiseptic pretreatment should be carried out immediately after purchase wood materials, Special attention need to be given to the end parts of the logs and the lower rim.

• Fire retardant treatment. it flame retardants, which protect the walls from burning and will save the house in case of fire.
• Insulation works. For wall insulation, they are most often used mineral wool, which allows you to ensure air exchange and at the same time protect the walls from freezing. Although the timber has good heat-shielding properties, the harsh Russian winters force us to look for additional insulation.

Initially, the caulking of the log house is carried out, on timber wall a crate is installed into which insulation plates are inserted. They are closed waterproofing film, which is overlapped with staples to the lathing.

Only after the wall is completely protected from the cold, you can proceed to exterior cladding using a block house. It differs from ordinary lining in shape: outwardly, it imitates exactly log wall, creating the illusion of an ordinary log house. Blockhouse may have different shades, this enhances its design variety.

Blockhouse house cladding rules

Decorating a log house with a blockhouse is somewhat different from the usual lining. This is due to the peculiarities of the material, which requires correct attachment to Wall.

First, you need to choose the right material: it can vary in the width of the "log": the thickness can vary from 9.6 to 22 cm. It can also vary in depth: standard sizes range from 2.2 to 4.5 cm.

The block house panel has standard width 6 meters, so for a large house you will have to solve the issue of joining the panels. It can be carried out by the end-to-end method, and you will have to select the material according to the structure so that the connection is as invisible as possible.

Sometimes the joint is simply covered with a board, which eliminates the visible seam. The blockhouse is installed on the wall using wooden lathing, there are several mounting options:

• With the help of a special type of joints - claymore. This is a galvanized clamp that is attached to the crate and the panel itself, for this, self-tapping screws are used. The advantage of the method is the ability to provide the most durable connection, an even and strong adhesion between the panels is achieved.
• The second installation option involves attaching the house block to the sheathing boards directly using holes and self-tapping screws. In this case, you will need to evenly drill the panel and the crate, and then wrap the self-tapping screw, drowning the hat.

An important detail: after the completion of the work, all the caps of the self-tapping screws must be closed with wooden plugs or special paste. This will prevent rusting and ensure a secure fit.

• Occasionally, a third option is also used: a galvanized nail is used for fastening, it is hammered into the groove of the board and closed with the next panel. However, this is a rather laborious method, which, moreover, can lead to damage. a large number materials, therefore it is used infrequently.

Difficulties in installing a blockhouse

When building houses from a bar, the blockhouse is used more and more often, however, several difficulties can be encountered. First of all, it is necessary to solve the issue of joining the panels at the corners of the building.

To do this, you can use special corners and skirting boards, but they partly spoil the appearance of the building, since they cannot completely imitate log cabin... There is another solution: an experienced craftsman can hide the corner in the frame itself, in this case, the connection can be made as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Another problem is the arrangement of the ceiling. The last panel has to be adjusted so that it looks as smooth as possible: if gaps arise, you need to use a wooden skirting board. You also need to take care of the design of window and doorways: This requires platbands.

The blockhouse interior decoration of a log house is used to close internal insulation besides, it is one of the most beautiful options creating a neat wooden interior... It is carried out on similar principle: the material is attached to the batten with the selected fastener type.

Block house decoration - simple and economical solution, with which you can achieve high durability and external beauty of the house. Recently, this material has become more and more common.

How to protect a house from a bar from precipitation and decay

A house from a bar is one of the most popular construction options, since it costs much less than a brick one, it is built quite quickly, and the finished building has excellent performance characteristics... Wood has been used in construction for many centuries, and it has managed to prove its durability and excellent heat-shielding properties.

A blockhouse is a special type of cladding that imitates:

• rounded log;
• construction beam;
• decorative lining.

Due to its aesthetics and ease of fastening, the blockhouse can be used not only for external cladding of a house, but also inside buildings. This solution looks quite natural if the same material is used. This allows you to maintain a single style of design (including for wooden log cabins from a typical bar).

Is it necessary to veneer wood-like walls? The following nuances can be the answer to this:

1. When assembling a log house from logs or a bar (using the principle of connection "in a paw"), its external and inner surfaces in the presence of cladding, in any case, they will look stricter and more elegant than without it.
2. This allows you to give the building a traditionally "Russian" look.
3. And, finally, additional insulation of the building walls and their protection from external climatic influences is provided.

You can decorate the house with a blockhouse yourself, but you should take into account some of the features of this design. When purchasing a cladding, first of all, you should make sure that there are special connecting grooves on the samples you have chosen. The fact is that there is a type of blockhouse, the plates of which are devoid of such grooves, which significantly complicates their installation. As for the conditions for carrying out the work, it must be remembered that fixing the coating can only be done after the final shrinkage of the structure.

Preparatory stage

To fix the boards, a crate is prepared, which is mounted directly on the walls. Basic structure It is made of 30 × 30 mm bars, placed vertically with a step of about 60 cm. Before installing the frame made with ordinary nails, the bars are treated with a composition that protects the wood from fungus and prevents it from rotting.

At the stage of arranging the lathing, it will be necessary to decide whether the insulation, which is usually placed between the blockhouse and the walls, will be laid. Having completed this work, you will not only insulate your home, but also provide it with good sound insulation.

At the end of the frame assembly, it will be possible to proceed to direct installation decorative panels... Regardless of the type of fastening chosen, work is carried out from the bottom up. Do not forget that the blockhouse must be pre-treated with an antiseptic.

Connection methods

Let's consider how to properly fix the boards to the crate. Known mounting methods assume the following options:

• the use of a retainer called "cleat", which is inserted into the groove with one part, and with the other part it is fixed on the frame bars with the help of self-tapping screws;
• fixing the blockhouse with screws or self-tapping screws;
• nailing at an angle of 45 degrees into the groove.

The clamping fastener ensures the wedging of the connecting lock, due to which the necessary strength and reliability of the assembly is achieved decorative coating... The indisputable advantage of this method of fixing is considered to be the hiddenness of the fasteners themselves and the ability to do without self-tapping screws that violate the integrity facing material and increasing the likelihood of splitting.

The second option for fixing the panels looks a little more complicated and needs additional preparation, made as we sheathe the building with the blockhouse. To implement it, a round recess is made in the board half of its thickness with a diameter equal to the size of the head of the fastening screw. In this case, the screw is completely recessed in the hole, and from above it is closed with a pre-prepared plug, which is subsequently sanded flush with the surface. A good alternative to wooden cork is a special paste of the corresponding (wood) color, which reliably protects the screw cap from moisture and rust.
