Many owners want to have a beautiful and environmentally friendly home. However, the cost of real wood to many families can not afford. But there is a way out of this situation. Finishing can be done in such a way that no one can distinguish it from a beam, and this can be done at the lowest possible cost.
Imitation of a bar
Imitations of timber, the sizes of which are very different, has two undeniable advantages: excellent quality and significant cost savings. This material is very similar to conventional wall paneling. It differs only in more massive dimensions (width and thickness) and careful processing of the front side of the board. Docking of panels is carried out according to the principle of "thorn-groove", but after connecting the boards there is no intermediate gap. There is also another significant difference in the imitation of the beam from the lining - installation can only be done in a horizontal plane.
Application
Imitations of timber, the dimensions of which will be given below, have a fairly extensive scope. This universal finishing material is used:
- for internal cladding (walls and ceiling);
- for external decoration of buildings (walls, pediment, foundation).
For outdoor work, as a rule, a wider board is used, and for interior decoration - a narrow one (135-145 mm wide).
Imitation of a bar is ideal for finishing:
- country houses;
- restaurants
- offices.
Panels make out miniature structures:
- arbors;
- baths;
- multifunctional outbuildings.
Imitation of a bar make decoration of rest rooms in a bathhouse, offices, hotels, attics, greenhouses, etc.
Imitations of a bar: sizes
Exact observance of dimensions is one of the prerequisites for the production of high-quality finishing material. Otherwise, some difficulties may arise during installation, and the final result will be very far from ideal.
Imitation of timber refers to a rather specific lumber, which, as a rule, does not have any specific standards. Given the specifics of the finish and customer requirements, manufacturers produce this material in different sizes. According to GOST, the board imitation of timber dimensions has the following:
- Width is from 110 to 190 mm. The appearance of the already finished premises largely depends on this indicator. The most popular width is 135 mm. Due to the small number of knots and the convenience of dressing, this width is Extra and A grade.
- Thickness: 18, 20, 22, 28, 34 mm, however, imitations of the beam dimensions can have 16, 14 mm, but this is not standard. The most popular thickness is 20 and 22 mm.
- The length is 3 or 6 m. But there are boards 2, 2.5, 5.4 meters, however, these indicators are considered non-standard.
- The weight of the panels is 11 kg per square meter. meter of dry products. The humidity of the products ranges from 12-14%.
Block house imitation timber dimensions has the following:
- material length from 2 to 6 m;
- thickness from 2 to 4 cm;
- the width can be very different - 14, 17, 19, 20 cm or another, depending on the wishes of the customer.
Size selection
When choosing the size of the board is taken into account:
- what will be the finish (external or internal);
- the length of the trimmed wall.
Imitation of the beam must be chosen so that there are as few joints as possible. This will help to achieve a beautiful and maximum imitation of the structure of a log or timber.
If the joints of the interior can be closed with decorative elements and furniture, then the outer cladding is always in sight. Therefore, the type of material should be chosen, taking into account the purpose of the finish.
Exterior beam imitation size
For facades, as a rule, panels with a thickness of 25-30 mm and a width of at least 150 mm are used. So you can get the maximum resemblance to a house from a real beam. If you use narrower panels, the lining will be similar to the lining trim. Why then overpay? If the walls are longer than 3 m, then it is advisable to use panels of 6 m. This will help to achieve a minimum number of joints.
But do not forget that the larger the size of the material, the greater its weight and, therefore, more difficult to install. The greatest difficulties arise when lining the walls with panels with a large size - 35 by 190 mm.
Imitation beam: dimensions for interior decoration
Interior decoration with a wide board is not recommended, as this will visually reduce the room. Usually, panels with a minimum width of 110 mm and a thickness of 16-22 mm are used. Moreover, indoors, this material can be mounted in different directions, which allows you to choose a more convenient length. The most frequently used lengths are 2 and 3 m. For interior decoration, it is not practical to take panels of 6 m.
To simulate the beam, special so-called kleimers are sold, which differ in number. The value of the number is equal to the width of the hook, which includes its panel groove. The sizes of kleimers for imitating the beam are different, so it is very important to choose them correctly so that they fit the board. They are sold in packaging of 100 or 200 pieces, together with self-tapping screws or nails for fastening.
