Finishing any house inside is the final stage of construction or repair, and how comfortable and beautiful it will be in the house largely depends on it. Finishing a wooden house inside will depend on the material of the walls, it can be a beam, a log or.

Although a wooden house has many advantages, it also has a number of disadvantages: it is afraid of fire, high humidity, rodents and insects. Therefore, before starting the finishing inside the house, it is necessary to treat the walls and other wooden elements with flame retardants and antiseptics.

Some manufacturers of building materials indicate that the beam or log has already been treated with all the impregnations, but for reinsurance, it is better to carry out the processing yourself, especially since this will only further protect the wooden parts.

The choice of material for finishing a wooden house will largely depend on the region in which the house is located, as well as on whether you will live in it permanently or only during the warm period of time. All this will affect the solution of the issue, how to sheathe a wooden house inside.

If the house is used only in warm weather, then the walls can not be finished with facing materials, for example, clapboard, but simply varnished or painted, tinting solutions can also be used.

Finishing a frame wooden house can be done using decorative plaster, fabric, leather, tiles and other materials. If you decide to build a wooden one, then most likely you made such a choice consciously, primarily due to the fact that it is an environmentally friendly material.

The advantage of a wooden house is that it maintains optimal temperature and humidity, and if you decide to sew up the walls, for example, with plastic clapboard, then you will minimize all the advantages of a wooden house.

In this case, it is better for you to build a house of foam concrete or brick. Based on this, it becomes clear that the decoration of a wooden house should be carried out only with natural materials, for example, clapboard or blockhouse. Most experts recommend finishing options in which the material of the house and the finishing material are made from the same wood species.

This is due to the fact that during the operation of a wooden house, factors such as humidity and temperature will affect its structure and finishing materials, so the materials will expand and contract.

If they are made of the same type of wood, then their expansion coefficients will be the same. When choosing finishes for certain rooms, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of a particular type of wood.

For example, conifers with strong heating begin to release resin, so they cannot be used when decorating a bath, kitchen or bathroom.

If we talk about ash, it does not tolerate high humidity, therefore, when decorating different rooms of a wooden house, you cannot use the same material, but you need to approach it individually.

Very often, clapboard is used to decorate an old or new wooden house. The advantages of cladding with wooden clapboard are ease of installation, beautiful appearance and low cost.
You can also hang something on it, since the lining can withstand the load, which cannot be said about drywall.

You can finish with drywall, but it must be moisture resistant. Usually this material is used for the construction of partitions to transform the look of an old house or for filing the ceiling.

On the one hand, it is flat, and its second side looks like a semicircle, such material is well suited for finishing a wooden house made of logs. If the house is made of timber, then you can decorate it with an imitation of a blockhouse, in this case both sides will be flat.

Using a blockhouse allows you to create an ideal microclimate inside the house, and if you use coniferous wood to decorate the room, this will help prevent respiratory diseases. Using a blockhouse allows you to transform the look of an old house, this material perfectly imitates natural wood.

For interior decoration, lamellas are used, the thickness of which is 20-25 mm, it is not recommended to use thicker material, since it requires a more powerful crate, and you will take a lot of free space in the room.

If you buy additional lamellas from another batch, then their color may not match, and such a finish will look ugly. In order for the material to reach room temperature, before installation, it must lie in the room for at least 2 days.

The use of blockhouse walls for cladding allows them to be well ventilated, and all work can be done by hand.

But besides the advantages, the blockhouse also has a number of disadvantages: it must be periodically cleaned and painted or varnished, dust can accumulate between the lamellas and the cost of natural wood is quite high.

Before you install the blockhouse, you need to make a crate and carry out the processing of the walls. Before that, it is necessary to close up all the cracks in them. A feature of this material is that it can be used indoors not only for walls, but also for ceilings.

Insulation can be installed between the wall and the blockhouse, and thus, you will further improve the heat and sound insulation characteristics of a wooden house.

For the frame, they usually take a bar so that the frame does not deform, it must be dry. The bars are installed vertically in increments of 50 cm and the process is controlled using a level.

The boards are connected with the help of spikes that are already on them; special corners are used to finish the catch.

The use of lining

This wall decoration option is affordable and inexpensive. Modern lining has special fasteners, due to which it is easy to mount it, and the connections are strong, the surface is even and beautiful.

In ordinary rooms of a wooden house, the walls are not covered with plastic clapboard, but it is great for finishing rooms with high humidity, such as a bathroom, kitchen or toilet.

The thickness of the lamellas can be different, if European companies produce strips with a thickness of 13,16,19 mm, then our manufacturers produce boards with a thickness of 12 to 25 mm. The width of the slats can also be different: 80, 100, 110mm.

For the manufacture of wooden lining, only well-dried wood with a moisture content of not more than 12% is used, and it is made from different types of wood.

The lining is like this:

• from hardwoods such as birch, linden, ash and others. They can be used in any room, and linden and alder are suitable for a bath;
• softwood lining can be used to decorate living rooms, but it is not suitable for rooms with elevated temperatures, as it begins to release resin.

For the manufacture of lining, edged boards are used, since the boards from the core are less durable.

Wood quality:

• extra wood should not have any defects, but some experts believe that this name was invented simply to overestimate the cost of the product;
• class A, in this case, one non-through crack or one knot can occur per 1.5 linear meters of the board;
• class B allows the presence on the same segment of 4 knots, two resin pockets and there may be contrasting spots;
• class C allows for contrasting spots and stripes, 2 knots up to 25 mm in diameter, resin pockets can be up to 50 mm in size.

The standard lining has a flat surface, the blockhouse imitates timber, the softline is similar to the standard, but has rounded contours; the American has a different width at the edges, so after its installation, the effect of overlapping is obtained.

Before lining with clapboard, such preliminary work as deresining can be performed. This is done when softwood lining is used. Deresining is carried out with a special solution or 25% acetone solution.

Importantly, the lamellas should be washed with warm water and dried.

Lightening of the lamellas can be carried out, it is performed with a solution of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Can help remove contrasting stripes and blemishes. Opening with varnish can be carried out, for this it is better to use a matte or semi-gloss varnish. First, they open it with varnish, dry it, then sand the surface and open it again with a layer of varnish.

The use of drywall

Covering walls with drywall is usually carried out when it is necessary to hide construction defects or it is necessary to hide communications.

Often the ceiling is trimmed with drywall or when partitions need to be made. Wall drywall is used for finishing indoors with normal humidity. For rooms with high humidity, moisture-resistant drywall is used. If the room is at elevated temperature, then cover it with fire-resistant drywall.

The installation of this material is also carried out on the crate, it can be either from a bar or from a metal profile, as already mentioned, for cladding the walls of a wooden house, such material is practically not used.

Other materials and work with floor and ceiling

To finish some elements inside a wooden house, for example, to highlight a fireplace, natural or artificial stone can be used. Ceramic tiles can be used in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet.

Plaster and paint can be used to finish walls, but they are rarely used to cover walls inside a wooden house. If wooden surfaces are painted, then oil paints are rarely used, usually acrylic paints are taken. About the process of external and internal painting.

The walls can simply be varnished, but before that they must be properly prepared, removed dust, resin residues and polished. The floor in a wooden house is usually covered with flooring or parquet. After its installation, the floor is opened with paraffin and a special varnish. Lacquer opening of flooring or parquet should be carried out at intervals of 2 years.

When decorating the ceiling, so that it does not deform when the house shrinks, the tension structure is the best solution.

What type of finish is the safest and most environmentally friendly? Does not emit toxic residues when burned?
