Most recently, in the construction, plank partitions were used, sheathed by shingles and plastered from the outside. They were reliable and durable structures. Now they are used extremely rarely, since the technology is time-consuming and expensive. Modern wooden partitions in a wooden house are more economical and simple.
Flammable products are rarely used in urban construction today. In large administrative and residential buildings it is forbidden to use them, although they are not self-igniting. Partitions in a wooden house are used in individual and low-rise housing construction. They are mounted only after complete shrinkage of the house occurs.
The advantage of using wood is that after construction a lot of high-quality waste remains.
Wooden frame partitions
The design contains a frame made of timber, sheathed with different materials and having a filler inside. Sound insulation is placed inside the cavity, and vapor barrier is added for rooms with high humidity. In this case, the lining and the frame should be treated with antifungal and water-repellent agents. Unlike walls, partitions are not load-bearing, although shelves, flower pots, and other interior elements can be hung on them.
Wooden partitions in a wooden frame-type house are made of the same materials as the walls. Only the timber inside can be used with a smaller cross section, since it does not bear the load.
The general structural basis of the building creates the same deformation from temperature and humidity. As a result, the shrinkage will be uniform, and cracks will not form at the joints. It is also advisable to use fire retardants and insect repellents for wood.
Features of the manufacture of the frame
The frame is made of dry timber with a cross section of 5x5 cm or 5x10 cm, and the distance between the uprights depends on the size of the sheathing sheets. For example, for drywall it is 60 cm. The gap between the casing allows you to place sheets of glass or mineral wool inside. These materials are preferred because of cheapness; mice do not settle in them. In order not to finish the wallpaper or paint, you can sheathe the lining of a partition in a wooden house (photo below).
In the log cabins, the internal walls are made of logs or solid timber, although lightweight structures will cost less and are also widely used. For concrete or brick houses, it is preferable to use a galvanized metal profile as the frame inside the partitions.
Board Partitions
The design is a shield in 2-3 layers of boards, shot down at an angle of 90º. It is inserted into the grooves of the frame of the timber. So that the partition does not deform when the house shrinks, 1 cm gap between the shield, ceiling and walls.
Plastering planks. To do this, they are pre-upholstered with shingles. The wire is laid in a layer of plaster, and under it substitute a strip of asbestos. Products require a large amount of wood, and the process of their creation is time-consuming.
Installation of partitions in a wooden house
For installation, first of all, materials and tools are required. They should be prepared in advance.
Materials and Tools
The following materials are required for the construction of frame partitions:
As tools are used:
Preparation of the base for the partition
It is not difficult to make a partition in a wooden house, but it should be borne in mind that it has a large weight, and the foundation must be solid. On an ordinary floor, it is not erected, since the surface can sag. Therefore, a lag should be located below for safety reasons. It is better to install an additional wall on the subfloor, when all the lower beams are in sight, and adding another is not a problem. It is possible that under the floor you will have to install an additional base in the form of concrete or brick columns. The arrangement of interior partitions should be taken into account in the design of the house. Then in the future there will be no need for alteration. On the second floor, the load will be transferred to the floor beams, it is desirable to make the structure as light as possible.
The most common material for plating is drywall, which is quite light and cheap. Under it, you can install a frame from a bent profile, which will also reduce the weight of the structure.
The use of plywood also makes it possible to create a lightweight construction with an attractive look of natural wood. Its use is permissible only in dry rooms. It is possible to use moisture-proof plywood, but it will cost much more. The material is becoming more popular and is also used for ceilings and floors. Partitions in a wooden house often require the installation of a door frame, the space for which should be strengthened.
Markup
Before installation, marking is first done. Using a plumb line and level on the walls, floor and ceiling, the line is beaten off and guide bars are installed. Their fastening depends on the base material. The bonnet is hidden in a tree. First, extreme racks are installed, and horizontal elements are mounted on them. After that, intermediate vertical bars are set along the thread stretched horizontally. Between the frame and the base, a continuous heat-insulating gasket is everywhere laid.
The construction of the partition
Making a partition in a wooden house with your own hands is not so difficult. Sheathing from boards or chipboard can withstand a load of up to 30 kg. If it is supposed to hang something substantial (a boiler, a TV, shelves), the structure in this place is strengthened by horizontal mortgages from a similar beam. The crossbars are fastened with screws and angles. The mounting locations of the crossbars correspond to the joints between the sheathing sheets.
Wooden partitions in a wooden house are filled with soundproofing slabs or mats with allowance so that there are no gaps. The sound absorption quality depends on the density of laying. To protect the frame from moisture that can get out of the room, a vapor barrier membrane is pulled on it from both sides. It should be located so that water vapor leaves the inner space and does not fall outside.
For fire safety, the electrical wiring in the partitions is best laid in a metal hose, and non-combustible materials should be used as socket boxes. You can also put electrical wiring in a heat-resistant corrugation. Openings in bars or soundproofing plates are cut under it. On the other hand, the frame is also closed with sheathing sheets similarly to the first.
Frame finish
The frame is sheathed with drywall, plastic panels, plywood, MDF, lining. Interior partitions in a wooden house are often made of the same material as the load-bearing walls. A grooved board is well suited for this.
Wood trim improves the indoor climate. Every year, new materials for wall cladding come on the market, which are also finish coatings and give the room an elegant look.
Conclusion
Wooden partitions in a wooden house provide advantages in terms of creating uniform deformations from temperature and humidity. They choose their finish at their discretion in order to get a harmonious combination with the interior.
