In most cases, during construction or repair, the owner decides to carry out such a process as clapboard lining, with his own hands, because this material has proven itself perfectly in the decoration of vertical surfaces. In addition, there are no difficulties with self-finishing. However, the products are made of different wood, so for a specific purpose you need to purchase a suitable product. For office and residential premises, coniferous woods are perfect. If the lining is beaten in the bath with your own hands, it is better to choose material from aspen. Nowadays, lining, which imitates all kinds of surfaces, is popular.
When it is supposed to be cladding the lining with their own hands, the choice of its appearance arises. Recently,
imitation of logs or beams has become widespread. In the first case, it seems that after the sheathing there is a chopped house. The outer side of the product has a semicircular shape, which is why the structure seems to be log. In another case, the wall becomes a bar. Wide panels of this imitation are most often used for exterior decoration. The listed products in frame housing construction are especially useful.
Before proceeding to such an activity as lining the clapboard with your own hands, it is necessary to treat all the elements with protective compounds, especially since certain types of wood may very much need this. Otherwise, after some time, the lining will dry out even from slight moisture and lose its original color. Sometimes additional operations are also performed to help improve the appearance of the coating. Such a procedure, for example, can be the degumming of wood, which involves removing the resin and removing grease stains. The most elementary way is to smear the boards with an acetone solution, followed by rinsing.
Before lining will be done with the lining with your own hands, questions about the electricity in the room should be completely resolved. That is, all points of location of sockets, various lamps, switches and shields must be clearly defined. It is best to let the wires under the wooden trim. Metal pipes are suitable for insulation, and cables with a large cross-section will have to be purchased to protect against overheating. If the wall is fairly even, then the skin can be attached directly to it. However, for brick or stone walls, it will be necessary to arrange a preliminary crate.
The supporting structure is also needed if the loggia is finished with a do-it-yourself clapboard. There are several ways to attach the material to the rails. Where aesthetics are not of particular importance, fixation is performed in any part of the board. Of course, large nails will not work, since there is a risk of a split in the wooden panel. Another method involves attaching directly to the grooves when the hats are closed with the next board. Fixing with self-tapping screws is performed in an identical way. Fasteners are screwed into the spike of the first lining, after which the next panel is installed.
