Cladding the facades of houses with wood. Types of finishing of facades of private houses Materials for cladding facades of wooden houses

Below I will share my experience - I will tell you what facade options I considered and list the prices, pros and cons of each type of facade.

smart siding at a price of 2300 m2

2 greenboard and plaster on top (wet facade type) - 2100 m2.

Also not bad options:

Flexible tiles TechnoNIKOL

Fiber cement panels

I write about them below in the article.

Criterias of choice

Basic criteria for choosing a facade for a house

• Strength
• Maintainability
• Appearance
• Performance characteristics
• Facade color. The choice of color is a different story, I already wrote about it,

Facade options

Here is a list of facades that are on the market. I’ll briefly describe each façade so that you have an understanding of what’s crap and what’s candy.

I built my house from scratch, however, if you wooden house for restoration, then the listed materials will also suit you.

Imitation timber / block house

A block house is beautiful at first glance, seemingly reliable, but in reality it is not at all so. It suffers ungodly every season, it cracks and needs constant care. You will be happy for a year, then you will receive only negative emotions from such a facade.

Here are its advantages:

• Environmental friendliness.
  For normal operation, the block house is coated with impregnation so that it is not eaten by bugs, insects and other creatures. If animals shy away from a tree, then what kind of ecology can we talk about? I question this plus factor.
• Reliability and durability.
  The material should have a moisture content of about 15 percent. If this condition is met, then you can believe that there is a chance that the material will not warp, its integrity will not be compromised, and it will be resistant to mechanical stress. But almost always it cracks on the facades and then doesn’t look so reliable and aesthetically pleasing.
• Light weight.
  Examples of how much a block house weighs

• Aesthetics.
  No questions here. To be objective, imitation timber creates the effect of a log house.

• You need to buy expensive varnishes, stains, antiseptics and mastics for protection every 3-4 years. After all the layers of processing, perhaps, you can forget about environmental friendliness. Plus, you need to pay for the work of the craftsmen again. And in extreme climates you will have to do this procedure often.
• Low vapor permeability. Under the façade finishing, condensation will accumulate under temperature changes and beyond.
• The high price, I will talk about it later.
• Keeps the fire going. A controversial point, since almost all the finishing burns, even the brick! But still, in my opinion this is a minus.

Material price :

cost of a block house for the facade wooden house hesitates from 500 to 800 rubles per m2.

As for the prices for work, the amount here is approximately 500 RUR m2. + painting 300 RUR m2
If you need a wide house block that looks much more beautiful (width 180 mm), then its price starts from 1200 m2

price of 1 m2 house block or imitation timber with work - 1500 RUR

That is why I immediately abandoned this option. Below are approximate prices for work:

• Installation of lathing about 170 r/m 2 ..
• Installation of a block house costs about 400 rubles/m2.
• Installation of corners, fillets and plinths 100 r/l.m.
• Painting in one layer - 300 r/m 2.
• Treating the sheathing with an antiseptic – 80 r/m.p.

It turns out pretty good. And one more thing. Some companies deliberately deceive and write a price of 400 rubles/m2. At the same time they leave everything out related work. As a result, one square meter of work will cost you approximately 1100 rubles , here add the installation of the corner and painting of the sheathing. And if you bought a house block that is not very cheap (on average 600 rubles), then together with installation the square meter will be about 2 thousand rubles per m 2 . Draw your own conclusion, but my opinion is that it’s not worth it!!

If you are devoted to wood and want to clad your wooden house with a house block, then pay attention to following points: wood type (preferably pine, larch and spruce), material class, geometricity.

Metal siding

It seems to be good, but its resistance to vandalism is not good. It is suitable only in places where its possible damage is excluded.

Example from life

You rested, drank, your neighbor or friend rested his hand on the wall or, even worse, his shoulder, that’s it, the end of the facade. To change one panel you will have to dismantle the entire wall.

The thickness of the metal siding is 0.4 mm. There is a reinforced one with polyurethane foam inside, but it costs 2.5 times more than an ordinary one.

Advantages metal siding

• Long service life. The manufacturer claims that this facade decoration will last more than 50 years.
• Wide range of shapes, colors and sizes. It is impossible to disagree with this. In fact, metal siding perfectly imitates different materials and gives the exterior of the building a special look.
• It is widely believed that everyone will install it House master. I doubt that this is so (if you look into it, there is a whole mountain of nuances), but let it be a plus.
• The metal used copes with high and low temperatures. Well, I don’t quite agree here, I’ll further express my opinion.
• Easy to clean from any dirt. This component is really cool. Just connect the hose and wash away the dirt.
• Does not support combustion

Flaws:

• 3 times more expensive than plastic.
• Metal siding is thin. When there is gusty wind, it may buzz.
• Noise when it rains. No matter how you soundproof a wall, in heavy rain and hurricane winds, you will feel like you are in tin can. This is a huge minus!
• Thermal conductivity. This is also a big minus, since in hot weather the metal gets terribly hot, I would say it gets hot. The opposite can be said for winter. The metal shell, although beautiful, is worthless in this regard.
• Very gentle during transportation and installation. They have protective film, but it won’t help in any way if you run a nail across the sheet. Of course, no one will do this on purpose, but during transportation it is quite possible to damage it. Because of this, metal corrosion can increase. That is why I immediately ruled out this option for wall cladding.
• Tightening the screws. Everything seems fine, but imagine how many holes there will be in the lining. And let them keep saying that there are thermal washers and so on. After a while they will dry out, and your facade will let water through. The worst thing is if corrosion starts.

With a relatively low price, I described this material as a good option if you don’t like anything else

Price metal siding fluctuates from 600 to 800 rubles per m2. For example, the most expensive one has a strip thickness of 0.5 mm, and the cheapest one is 0.4 mm. The difference is small, but it seems like the coating is of different quality. In my opinion, this is not an option at all. As for the cost of work, here is what it is:

Price 1m2 of metal siding with work - 1100 rubles

Plastic siding

Essentially the same material as metal. But unlike metal, after 2-3 years, in some places it completely loses its geometry. But the biggest disadvantage of plastic siding is its contamination. You can wash it at least every week with a Karcher, the pores will still get clogged and over time your façade will look terrible.

• Doesn't rot. Tolerates humid environments well.
• Relatively long service life
• Copes with a wide temperature range from -50°C to +50°C.
• Does not support combustion. Again a controversial point. If the house is engulfed in flames, then the siding, if not burned, will melt, and then what is the point if the wooden structure is blazing on fire.
• The price corresponds to the quality.
• Doesn't highlight harmful substances to the air.
• quick installation, no doubt about it!
• Large range of designs and shades.
• Possibility of insulation under siding. For example, polystyrene foam or other thermal insulation.
• Easy to maintain. Water jet and façade new first 15-20 cycles, then it’s difficult to wash off.

Now about the cons:

• Low mechanical strength. Very easy to perforate on impact heavy object. I know this for sure, I checked it personally! As a result, you will have to dismantle almost half the wall to replace the broken section.
• It is impossible to replace one element; the entire cladding is connected by locks.
• You need to bother with temperature gaps, since when the temperature fluctuates, the plastic changes its size. If there are no temperature gaps, the siding trim will simply swell.
• Be sure to wash, although over time it will still become unusable

My personal opinion is that this type of facade is suitable for a barn, utility room, or for a house in SNT.

Plastic siding is priced per piece, not per square meter. But we need the price of 1 m2 of plastic siding is 400-500 rubles! You can find more expensive ones. And here you need to add all sorts of corners, connectors, and other components, without which installation is impossible. With such disadvantages, it turns out to be quite expensive:

• starting profile from 1100 rub.
• wind bar from 1200 rub.
• soffit with perforation from 3600 rub.

If speak about cost for work , it also doesn’t come out cheap. In general, it can run up to 500 rubles per m2, or even more, highlighted in red:

And the price may also include installation of all kinds of planks. My personal opinion is a very weak option.

Important!
Price 1 M2 of plastic siding with work - 1000 rubles

Thermal panels

The material is quite expensive - 1500 rub per m2, get ready for serious financial costs. Add to this the preparation of the wall, installation work, and as a result the price tag will be higher 3000 rubles per m2.

• Environmentally friendly material.
• Can be attached not only to frame house, but also to other designs.
• In addition to finishing, the facade is also insulated.
• Work can be carried out at any time of the year.
• Wide range of colors to choose from.
• Cladding the facade with thermal panels will save up to 40% on heating.
• Quick installation. And this is important, because you will have to spend a minimum of money to pay rent scaffolding and other things.
• Cracking of the facade is excluded. But!! if the house shrinks, cracks will appear, I checked this on other facades.
• Durable material. As stated by the manufacturer, about 50 years, and some even 100 years.
• Color fastness to fading.
• Does not corrode or rot. Does not spread fungi and other infections.
• The cladding is done with a brick or other type of texture
• Durable material and diffusion open. That is, during installation, the cold bridge is completely eliminated, unless the master has crooked hands!

There are also disadvantages:

• The wall must be flat.
• High cost of finishing 1000 rub/m2.
• If there is no ventilation gap between the finish and the wall, condensation may form.

Very cool solution. The high price is fully compensated by the high quality!

There aren’t many downsides here, so I give this finish a high rating. Price from 1250 to 2000 rubles per m2 . There are varieties based on the base. But my personal opinion is that the price is quite reasonable in terms of technical characteristics. But keep in mind that you still need to purchase material to make the frame. As for prices, there is a whole puzzle here:

Price 1 m2 Thermal panels with work - 2200 rubles

Helpful advice!

Be careful, because some of the work is considered linear meter, and part for m 2 . In principle, the price is quite normal, but again, you can search different variants. My rating for this finish is above average. But I won't call it ideal.

Panels with clinker tiles

• Abrasion resistance.
• Stable color.
• Does not breed bacteria.
• The finish is UV resistant.
• Easy to maintain.
• Easy to install.
• Durability.
• Additional thermal insulation.

But there are also disadvantages:

• High cost overrun, since the panels are mounted in a groove.
  The craftsmen do not spare their own, there may be an overconsumption of material. I have personally encountered workers who do not value the material they purchased.
• High price 3000 rub. With such fragility, it turns out very cool.

It looks nice, but there are doubts about the quality. You need to be very careful not only during installation, but also during operation.

Cost of panels with clinker tiles from 300 to 3000 rub.

Important! Price of 1 m2 of panel with clinker tiles with work - 3000 rubles + work 1000
total 4000 rub. per m2

Wet facade (plaster)

This technology is not often used for frames, since it is necessary to prepare a flat, solid base plus create a ventilation gap. The base is made of polystyrene foam and it does not carry thermal protection; plaster is made on top of it. Below I will describe the greenboard facade technology, and its advantages with the same appearance will be obvious.

Pros:

• The ability to give a unique appearance to your home in terms of design style and color.

About the cons:

• requires a flat, solid base
• Compliance temperature regime. The manufacturer specifies temperature recommendations for the use of adhesive and plaster compositions from -5 to +50°C. If it is very cold, the mixture will dry unevenly. In short, it is better to do the work in the warm spring or autumn, when it is neither hot nor cold.
• Air humidity.
  This is a complete mess. If the air humidity is more than 70%, the glue will not be able to dry evenly. Apply only in dry sunny weather.
• During installation, direct sunlight is not allowed.
  Otherwise, the liquid in the plaster mixture will evaporate very quickly. I chose such material to exclude all these points.
• A damp layer of plaster very easily absorbs dust and dirt. While the facade is drying, it may become dirty. Again, a big minus.

Must be organized ventilation gap. Otherwise everything will crack and fall off!

The price gives the following picture:

cost of material for base, plastering, tinting or painting (all materials) - 1900 RUR m2

The prices for the work are also not weak:

The price of work on a wet facade is 1800 rubles and this is without the finishing layer, there may be decorative rock or something else. My opinion is that it is very expensive, despite the fact that there are serious drawbacks. I didn't even consider it for my home.

Important! Price 1 m2 wet facade with work 3800 rub.

Fiber cement panels/siding

I considered them as an option for myself. I even found companies that were willing to give a 15% discount.

• The finishing of the external facade will not burn.
• The installation process is accelerated by large size panels 3 m by 20 cm (almost the size of siding).
• great appearance. The surface originally imitates wood, stone, brick, etc.
• The façade is self-cleaning.
• The color does not fade over time.
• Very strong.
• Relatively simple installation. I would install it myself.
• Average price for material.
• Long lasting service life about 20 years, but there were finishes with better performance.
• Low temperature resistance.
• Big choice color shades and variations.
• The dyes used are resistant to UV rays.

The disadvantages here are relative:

• Due to moisture, deformation reaches up to 2%. Most often linear expansion.
• Not cheap.

My personal opinion is a good finishing option. For your money, the quality is completely worth it.

In principle, the finish is quite acceptable. Fiber cement siding prices fluctuate from 1000 to 1200 rubles per m 2.

Prices for work:

Installation of fiber cement panels costs approximately 700-800 rub.

The price of 1 m2 of fiber cement boards with work is 2000 rubles

Facade flexible tiles TechnoNIKOL

Relatively original solution. Advantages:

• The pigments used for painting the cladding are resistant to fading under the influence of UV rays.
• Relatively simple installation, the main thing is to have a flat base.
• Tightness.
• Possibility of finishing facades of complex shapes.
• Resistant to temperature changes.
• Beautiful appearance.
• High resistance to damage.

Here are the disadvantages:

• Short service life, my personal opinion is very bad for this expensive façade finishing.
• Material is flammable.
• When ignited, it releases toxins.

Herself tiles cost about 400 rubles per m2 . But you still need to buy two-component glue, window casing, outer/inner corner, etc. Therefore, the price will increase in any way..

Technology using wood concrete sheets (Greenboard) allows you to give the house a more brutal or solid look, so much so that it will not be easy to understand that this is a frame without opening it.
The trick of this technology is that the material (GB) performs several tasks at once,

• 1. Structural strength
• 2. Insulation (50mm)
• 3. Basis for facade finishing.

As a result, it turns out that the output is not expensive, but the possibilities for final finishing make the house look much more expensive than what was actually spent WITHOUT compromising performance.

For sheathing, a D600 sheet (density like a block) with a thickness of 25 mm is used and is laid horizontally in 2 layers with the joints glued with foam-glue (TN) on a thickened screw 5x60 and 5x90, respectively, to the layers. The cost per square meter is about 600 rubles for the material. You received a 5cm strong wood concrete slab on the facade that works as cross insulation.

Further, according to the Ceresit system, CT190 glue and mesh are used for rough leveling - 1 50-200r per m2

Next are two options - budget and richer.

Richer (beautiful view)

This decorative plaster bark beetle or pebble or other similar applications - the cost will be according to the material 500-600r m2.

A budget option

This is finishing putty (Prospectors), primer with crumbs and painting according to the material - it turns out 100-150r m2.
By creating an inexpensive plaster facade You can decorate it with decorative elements of your choice (boards (half-timbered timber), stucco molding or stones) to give your home a unique and individual look.

Conclusion

In my opinion, there are now only 4 normal façade materials on the market, which cost no more than labor 2500 RUR per m2 and they look nice:

• Smart siding
• Greenboard with further painting or plastering and decoration
• Fiber cement panels
• Flexible facade tiles from TechnoNIKOL

Never look at how and what your neighbor made the façade from. I advise you to delve into everything yourself, because everywhere they want to deceive you / make money and few people think about what will happen in the end result.

If you want to do it once and for a long time, then you will have to spend your time first of all, and at the same time control every stage of the work.

Siding

1. Wooden panels
2. Alternative decor
3. Combining materials

When thinking about finishing the facade of a private house, you will note that the choice of materials is quite wide. If you want to choose the most environmentally friendly of them, pay attention to natural wood. It has numerous properties that are valued by modern people:

• environmental Safety. Does not emit harmful fumes that can harm nature or humans;
• attractive look. The aesthetics of wood have always been admired. Sometimes there is even a desire to preserve the natural wood grain, which is why a transparent varnish is used as a protective coating;
• durability. Despite the vulnerability of the tree to high humidity, temperature changes and sunlight, it is possible to extend its service life by using modern impregnations guaranteeing high-quality protection from negative atmospheric and natural factors;
• low thermal conductivity. It allows you to maintain a comfortable microclimate inside the building, saving energy resources on heating and air conditioning. By using wood for cladding, you can eliminate the need for insulation.

By finishing the facade of your house with wood, you create a unique design that harmoniously matches the decor personal plot. The building looks respectable and stylish and will not go unnoticed by passers-by and your guests.

Finishing the facade of the house: wooden siding

It consists of planed molded profiles of different thicknesses and lengths. They are made from different breeds wood, differ in the level of strength and durability. The main advantage is that the house gets the opportunity to “breathe”; a greenhouse effect is not created under the finishing, which can provoke rapid deterioration. There is no doubt about the aesthetics of the decor; in the finished version, the building takes on a unique look.

Siding is offered in several types:

• fragments of boards spliced ​​along the length, strung on a jagged tenon;
• one-piece profile made from solid wood.

Before use, profiles require coating with protective impregnations, varnishes and paints. They must have an antiseptic effect, increase resistance to fire, and protect the tree from grinding insects. Fortunately, the range of special formulations is rich, so there are no problems with selection and purchase.

Installation easy to do yourself, without the help of specialists in the field finishing works. You do not need special knowledge and skills, you do not need many years of experience. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step process and arrange the elements according to level.

The cladding will be built as follows:

• if there is old finishing material on the facade, dismantle it;
• remove protruding elements: lamps, drainage systems, cornices;
• clean the walls from dust and dirt;
• fasten wooden blocks, previously impregnated, with self-tapping screws on the walls protective compounds. Step – 30-40 cm, place the sheathing elements around the perimeter of the door and window openings. Remember - when laying siding horizontally, the bars are positioned vertically and vice versa;
• fill the space between the slats with insulation, if provided. The thickness of the insulation should not exceed the height of the sheathing;
• find the lowest point on the wall, draw an even horizontal line along the entire perimeter of the house, raising it 4 mm from the original level;
• secure the starting strip with nails or self-tapping screws, placing its top edge on the drawn line;
• At the joints of the walls, secure the internal and external corners, placing fasteners in increments of 20-30 cm. Install J-shaped slats around door and window openings;
• begin installation of the next strip, connecting it to the previous one using a tongue-and-groove lock, securing it on top with nails, inserting the edges into corner connections. The siding should be slightly shorter than the distance between the stop points, so there will be room for its natural expansion under the influence of natural factors;
• When fixing horizontally overlapping panels without a connecting profile, make sure that they overlap each other by 2-3 cm, and the joints are placed staggered and not on the same line;
• the distance from the edge of the profile to the last fastener is no more than 8 cm;
• After complete cladding, install the remaining parts intended for decorating window and door openings.

This is how the façade of houses is finished with wood. To get a detailed idea of ​​the work process, watch the thematic video, which shows how installation is performed. Be sure to apply building level to put all the parts in the right position.

Looking at photos of house facades decorated with wood, you will note that its appearance depends on the type of wood used in the production process. Optimal choice– oak. It not only looks beautiful, but is also considered the most durable and durable. As an alternative - larch, pine, spruce.

Finishing the facade of the house: facade panels

They appeared on the finishing materials market later, but quickly gained well-deserved distribution. The main advantages are maximum efficiency of cladding, minimum requirements for the professionalism of the worker, and a set of necessary tools.

When decorating, finishing the facade of the house with wood with an unusual cut is carried out according to the same scheme as in the previous version. The pitch of the sheathing profiles depends on the size of the decorative elements. You can place insulation inside or install a ventilated façade, leaving the space hollow.

Remember expansion gaps,

of a couple of millimeters. They are needed to expand the finishing, which occurs in any case, because we are talking about natural material. No matter how protected the boards are, they will change in size under the influence of atmospheric conditions.

The same principle is used to decorate the facades of houses with wood clapboards and block houses. The only difference is the appearance, which plays a key role in the choice.

Alternative decoration methods

Decorating the façade of a house with wood-like materials

Wooden products are expensive, if your budget is limited, choose a suitable alternative. For example, you can decorate the facade of the house with wood-effect panels made of metal and other materials that are more resistant to different conditions external environment materials. The advantages of this solution are obvious:

• thanks to modern technologies, used by specialized factories in the production process, it is possible to obtain a finish that has no visual differences from its natural counterpart. The difference will be noticeable only if you get close to the building and start looking closely at the cladding;
• due to the availability of raw materials, the cost finished products will pleasantly surprise you and will allow you to save on purchases without sacrificing quality;
• you don't have to wonder preparatory processing decoration with protective impregnations, varnishes and paints;
• the weight of the panels is less, which will simplify working with them and minimize the load on the building and foundation;
• An extensive selection will allow you to choose the best product that meets your existing requirements and wishes.

View photos of finishing the facade of a private house with wood and alternative materials stylized as wood. You can see that there are no visual differences. Instead, you don’t have to be afraid of rot, mold, wood-boring insects, heavy rains and severe frosts. Modern artificial variants claddings are not subject to their influence and can easily withstand any operating conditions.

Even more aesthetics

Decorating the facade of the house - a combined option

Do you want unique accommodation?? Are you looking for an exclusive design? A combination of finishing materials will help here. The decoration of the facade of the house looks very nice and a tree. Today they sell different plaster mixtures allowing to obtain a smooth or rough surface. They also differ in composition; according to this criterion, the following plasters are distinguished:

• mineral - based on ordinary Portland cement with coloring pigments and other additives. They are the most durable and affordable from a financial point of view, they are not afraid of fungus, mold, water, insects;
• silicone ones are very expensive, but fully justify the purchase. Vapor permeable, environmentally friendly, elastic, have the ability to self-clean;
• silicate - the main component is potassium glass. Due to low elasticity, they are suitable for hard, non-deformable surfaces;
• acrylic - plastic and durable mixtures that can last for many years. Resistant to stains and not afraid of water.

Plaster mixtures are applied by spraying, after which they are leveled using the rule. You can spray the plaster manually or with a special machine. In the first case, the process is labor-intensive and time-consuming. But if there is no way out, it is possible to cope with it. Once dry, the coatings are sanded to a perfectly smooth surface or processed with special spatulas to obtain decorative grooves. After complete drying, they are painted in the selected color.

The decoration of the facade of the house with stone and wood looks great. Natural stone heavy and expensive, creates a significant load on the structure. Some of its species crumble, are afraid of the sun, and cannot tolerate harmful external factors.

Choose the artificial option

It is cheaper, but will not be inferior in performance characteristics and durability, because specialized factories do everything possible to achieve maximum practicality levels and put them into production Newest technologies and raw materials. The stone is offered in a huge number of colors and textures. In this design, your home will stand out against the background of neighboring buildings and will become unique and stylish.

Regardless of where your gaze lands, decorative finishing the facade of the house with wood is the right decision, especially if you value environmental friendliness, comfort and coziness. This is exactly what suburban housing should look like in order to fully justify its construction and financial investment.

When deciding on the second material, assess the situation globally. Consider the subtleties of design local area, the solutions applied here. All elements must be in harmony with each other, creating a single composition.

Inexpensive and practical finish The facade of a wooden house will allow you to tidy up an old home or create an interesting exterior for a newly built building.

Wooden houses have become very popular again, as this is one of the few ways to create environmentally friendly housing. At the same time, wood provides good thermal insulation of rooms and an interesting appearance. However, not everyone is ready for what will be represented by ordinary logs.

Also, do not forget that some people received a wooden house (inherited or bought), which was already built quite a long time ago, and the tree has already lost its appearance.

A similar phenomenon can often be encountered: without proper processing and care, wood quickly loses its attractive appearance, but at the same time its strength and other functional qualities remain at an acceptable level.

In this case, you need to take care of organizing an attractive facade. The facade of a wooden house can hide all these unpleasant consequences of wood aging, as well as protect it from the effects of negative factors.

Types of materials used

Cladding the facade of a wooden house can be done using the following materials and technologies:

1. Curtain façade.
2. Plaster.
3. Panels with thermal insulation and clinker tiles.
4. Siding.
5. Facade brick.

When choosing a material, you can be guided by your own preferences, cost or other qualities. If the wooden walls are still strong, then everything else is not particularly important.

For a new house built of wood, it is worth noting that if you do not carry out this work, then in the future this work will cost much more: you will have to eliminate the consequences of wood wear due to exposure to the sun and other negative factors.

In addition, the tree will lose its attractiveness. Finishing the facade of a wooden house can be done independently or by specialists. It all depends on what material was chosen.

Using siding

Siding is ideal for facade finishing. It can be made of PVC or vinyl. In this case, you can create what is needed to maintain wood in good condition(constant ventilation helps prevent mold and dampness).

The positive qualities of using this material include the following:

• The use of this finishing method does not increase the load on the facade. The material is light in weight.
• You can carry out the work yourself and in a fairly short period of time.
• The cost of the material, relative to other options, is low. The cost of the material in most cases depends on the appetite of the manufacturer, since everyone uses the same base when making siding.

Facade decoration wooden houses Using this material, you can create complete ventilation of wood.
