Sheathing for lining - detailed instructions for sheathing. Sheathing for clapboard - how to make a strong and reliable foundation for the structure Covering walls with clapboard and installing the frame

Lining – excellent material for finishing any premises. Its popularity has not faded over the years. And manufacturers are producing more and more varieties. Every year it becomes more and more difficult to make a choice. But one thing is constant, namely the lathing for fastening.

Why do you need a lattice structure?

If you want to decorate the walls in a bathhouse, apartment or country house, lathing is simply necessary.

What is it for? Why can't it be on the walls?

The point is that it's perfect smooth walls can not be. Finishing not only plays a decorative role, it also can hide unevenness.

Installing the frame makes further work easier Finishing work. The appearance depends on its correct installation.

Tools and materials for work

Installation of sheathing under the lining begins with preparatory work.

At first glance, it may seem that preparing tools is not so important.

But that's not true. If you prepare all the tools materials in advance, and your work will go faster.

You will not waste valuable time searching the right tool. Work will be smoother if everything you need is at hand.

Here is a list of what we need to stock up on:

• Beam or metal profile;
• Dowels or screws;
• Building level;
• Pencil;
• Roulette;
• Fishing line;
• Screwdriver or screwdriver;
• Axe;
• Saw;
• Solutions for treatment against rot, mildew and mold;
• Insect repellent compounds.

For these purposes, timber of 50×25 mm and 60×27 mm is used as standard. The material must be chosen of high quality.

Inspect the surface of the wood; there should be no chips, cracks, or knots.

Durability depends on the quality of the frame the entire structure. Humidity is also an important point. Ideal option is considered no more than 12-16%, but is allowed within 18%. This factor determines whether the surface will be smooth.

Lathing that will be attached to concrete or brick wall, implies the use of dowels. For wooden ones, self-tapping screws are enough.

Since the surface will not be level everywhere, wedges will need to be placed under the structure to level it. Also use self-tapping screws various sizes. This will make your work easier.

Creating lathing for lining

Lathing under the lining with your own hands is impossible without preliminary marking.

For this used building level and a pencil. You need to decide on the direction of the lining in advance.

It can be placed vertically - this visually increases the height of the room, or horizontally - it expands the space.

As an option, you can use a mixed finish or diagonally. In any case, the bars must be perpendicular to the chosen direction.

After we have decided on this point, we outline the surface. You can use chalk instead of a pencil. The walls or ceiling must be, like the timber itself, treated with antifungal compounds.

The choice of lathing step width depends on your goals. Of course, the smaller it is, the stronger the structure, but the higher the price. Typically used from 40 to 60 cm.

If you will also insulate the room, take into account, first of all, the size of this material.

In this case, the pitch of the sheathing should be slightly smaller than the insulation so that it fits more tightly.

To make the frame even, we will use a fishing line and a plumb line. Using the building level, we will use the tools described above to create a visualization. We will install bars along these edges.

The fishing line will serve as a guide. Depending on the chosen direction, it is pulled either horizontally or vertically. The bars are fixed close to these guides. If necessary, add wedges or wood chips, or, conversely, grind down the surface of the wood.

You can use a laser level in place of the fishing line.

If there are window or door openings around the perimeter, it is mandatory to secure the bars around them.

When you secure the structure, do not forget to check the level.

Installation of the frame on the ceiling is carried out in the same way as on the walls. The only thing is that a beam of slightly larger diameter can be used. This is due to the difference in the thickness of the insulation used.

If you are going to sheathe semicircular or oval rooms, do not apply solid timber. In this case, carefully monitor the proportions.

After installation is completed, the frame must be treated with compounds against various harmful factors. Their choice depends on the conditions where the cladding was performed. This can be either a fire-fighting composition or solutions against mold, fungal growth or rotting. Alternatively, you can apply a water-repellent emulsion to the surface.

Features of installation of cladding in steam rooms under lining

The lathing for the lining in the steam room is done according to special rules.

First you need to attach foil to the walls.

It traps steam. It also implies the use of larger rack bars.

In order to install strips of smaller diameter, in the larger ones, recesses are cut into which they are placed. This method allows you to create greater rigidity, which is especially important in such conditions.

Due to the harsh conditions this frame will be exposed to, the wood may become warped. By using this design, the likelihood that the finish will float is practically eliminated.

The racks are fixed to special corners. They allow the frame to move slightly when the boards are deformed, without compromising the integrity of the structure.

Features of installing lathing on the walls of log houses for lining

How to make lathing for lining on the walls of log houses?

The complexity of the design lies in the significant differences in the walls. It is more difficult to level such a surface. What to do in this case?

The frame in this case is installed on the basis of beacons.

They involve the use of pads. It is important to maintain the level when installing them. If the surface has strong protrusions, they can be cut off with an ax or plane.

To save money, you can use nails instead of screws. They attach well to wooden base. This best option for fastening and wallet.

To summarize, let's look at important points. During installation, the choice of fastening depends on the surface. They are different for wood and brick. Do not forget to treat the surface with compounds against fungus, mold and rot.

When installing guides, constantly check the slope using a building level. Do not do the work hastily, measure and secure everything carefully. Then your work will delight you with impeccable execution for a long time!

Cladding surfaces with clapboard is carried out in several interconnected stages, each of which requires a special approach. Careful implementation of all technological procedures is a guarantee that it will be possible to obtain a reliable coating with excellent properties and environmental friendliness. The material is ideal for any type of work.

Lining - is a board (of different thicknesses), which is made from various breeds tree. The material got its name because of its original place of use. Namely, train cars, internal surfaces which were lined with small wooden slats, which created an excellent microclimate. Currently, wood products are returning to their former popularity, which decreased slightly when plastic and MDF options began to appear.

Modern construction market offers a large assortment types of lining

It is necessary to take into account that covering walls with clapboard with your own hands requires a balanced approach. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the product at the stage of its acquisition. Pay attention to the following points:

1. Correct storage of purchased goods. Packages must be stored horizontally on a support.
2. Humidity level warehouse should be within normal limits.
3. It is not allowed to place the product in an open space, exposed to sunlight.

You should also pay attention to the expiration date on the label.

All information about the storage and shelf life of the lining must be indicated on the packaging of the material

This precaution is necessary in order to mitigate possible risks. The fact is that work with the lining is carried out only after they are completely convinced that the material meets all standards.

On a note! The product should be purchased from necessary supply, which is equal to ten percent. To obtain exact amount elements, preliminary calculations are carried out, and a diagram is drawn up. It is important to consider that the width of each fragment is measured according to the internal depth. That is, it is necessary to subtract the depth of the groove (10-12 mm).

It is necessary to purchase material with a reserve of 10%

Material processing

After the purchase required quantity products and fasteners, the question immediately arises: how to properly cover walls with clapboard? But this is not a priority task. You need to know that the material needs pre-processing, because no actions other than manufacturing are performed in production. Therefore, the following manipulations are performed:

• Coniferous wood types require complete degreasing. All resin stains are removed. The boards are washed well with acetone (a 25% solution is required). Next, wipe thoroughly with rags previously soaked in water. After all actions, the products are dried.
• To obtain the same surface shade, each fragment is treated with a pre-prepared mixture. It consists of hydrogen peroxide and acid (oxalic). The solution is prepared based on the type of wood.
• All damage, even minor ones, are repaired with putty. It is better to choose a mixture for wood. You can buy it at the store or prepare it yourself.
• If it is necessary to change the shade, then use stain or other special impregnations that preserve the texture of the wood.

Processing the lining allows you to extend its service life and change the color of the material

Of course, you can find products that will be pre-treated, but their cost will be significantly yours.

On a note! Pre-treatment cannot be skipped. This would be a gross violation of the technology of covering surfaces with clapboards.

There are two main options for covering the surface with clapboard: adhesive and frame. The first requires a perfectly flat plane. Therefore, the preferred method is the construction of sheathing. In addition, it allows you to create additional space for insulating the room.

The construction of the frame gives additional features for room insulation

To attach the lining to the wall you will need:

1. Tool. In this case, you need to prepare: a drill with various attachments, a level (plumb bob), a hammer, pliers, electric jigsaw or a hand saw.
2. Slats for the frame. A solid wooden beam with a cross-section of 30*60 mm is ideal for this purpose. The substrates are immediately prepared. They are used to level racks.
   

   On a note! If the surface has a significant slope, then setting wooden beam will prove to be a rather complicated procedure. In this case, a metal profile is used.

3. Fasteners: self-tapping screws, dowels, nails, clamps; if required, then additional elements for the frame (suspension).

You should know that before covering with clapboard, even if you use frame method, required preliminary preparation surfaces.

The procedure is simple, it consists in removing the old decorative layer, and all defects are well covered. Additionally, priming is carried out.

Creating a sheathing


The lathing is carefully attached to the wall. The order of placement of the slats is determined by the selected laying scheme of the lining.

• Scheme for creating sheathing for lining The timber is treated with fire-resistant impregnation and protection against mold. Wood paneling
• assumes that the wall will be dry.
• The slats should be perpendicular to the decorative boards.
• A uniform distance is established between the slats, the step of which is 40-50 cm. Be sure to leave a gap between the ceiling and floor. This is especially important for, which are subject to constant shrinkage.
• The evenness of installation of the frame for cladding with wooden lining is carefully checked. To do this, use a building level and plumb lines.
• If an empty space is formed between the wall and the lath, then it is filled with prepared dies.

The empty space between the slats and the wall is filled with wooden dies

On a note! Lathing makes it possible to finish the walls with an additional layer of insulation. It is fixed directly between the posts.

Selecting a fixation option

Immediately determine the method of fixation. After all, paneling can be done different methods:

Installing the lining on clamps allows you to make the fastenings invisible

The necessary fasteners are selected based on the specific situation. Currently, clamps are becoming increasingly popular.

Fastening decorative material

Fastening the lining begins with the material being brought into the room and left for two days. This time is necessary for the product to fully acclimatize. If installation is carried out immediately, then there is a high probability that the elements will begin to warp - the structure will become deformed.

Work is carried out only at positive temperatures and humidity, which is at least 60%.

The lining is first brought into the room and left for two days.

• The general technique is:
• Often, boards are installed horizontally. Therefore, the first element is installed at the bottom so that the tenon points upward.
• Fixation starts from the corner, which is located away from the main entrance to the room.
• The first board is well checked for level, the horizontal and vertical planes are taken into account. If even minor deviations are allowed, they will become very noticeable when the top panel is attached.
• The first fragment is fixed. The possibility of deviations is checked again.

Next, the following elements are installed, which are first grooved and then fixed.

• But how to cover a wall with clapboard vertically? The procedure is no different from the previous version:
• The elements are placed from the far corner. The first fragment is exposed and secured.
• The following elements are inserted into the groove and fixed. It is important to check that the joint is completely connected. To do this, lightly tap the rail along the edge.

For this method, a wider rail is used. It creates a beautiful surface with fewer joints. If you have experience, you can finish the walls in one day (even taking into account the frame). When the installation is completely completed, attach: corners and baseboards. The surface is well impregnated with stain and varnished.

Exterior decoration of the house

Decorating the house with clapboards on the outside

Cladding the house with clapboards on the outside almost completely replicates interior work. The procedure is divided into three stages: marking, installation of sheathing and cladding. But there are some nuances:

1. Two racks must be installed at each corner of the house.
2. Window and door openings are framed with a profile (beam).
3. Used for work quality board, which does not have falling knots.
4. Fixation is performed end-to-end.
5. The elements are attached with the groove down. This helps prevent precipitation from accumulating.

If you understand the basic rules and study the chosen fixation method well, then the work is done quite quickly. The result will be a surface that will bring the comfort and warmth of natural wood into the interior and will delight you with its beauty for many years.

If you think that the technology of covering a balcony with clapboard is too complicated, then it is not so. I'll tell you how to carry out the work without outside help quickly and efficiently. We will consider the option of using metal frame– it is stronger and more durable than a traditional wooden block.

Work technology

Cladding the balcony with clapboard is done in a certain sequence. You just need to follow all the tips in order to cope with the job even without experience. It is important to remember a simple rule: you should only use it, since the attractiveness of the final result directly depends on this.

What is needed for work

Material	Recommendations for selection
Lining	Use only premium and first grade options, they look better than others and have almost no flaws. Calculating the quantity is simple: the dimensions of all sheathed surfaces are measured, and the area in square meters. It is worth purchasing the material with a small reserve, since waste will inevitably be generated during cladding
Profile for frame	We will use a guide and main profile for drywall. The first option is used to create a frame around the perimeter, and the second to create a strong sheathing on which the fastening will be made. In addition, you need hangers, with their help you can quickly set the ideal position of the elements
Fasteners	Dowels are used to fix the hangers quick installation, to connect the profiles together, special self-tapping screws are used. As for fixing the lining, it is best to use self-tapping screws with a press washer.

Now let’s look at the tool, since without it, covering balconies with clapboard with your own hands is impossible:

• Metal scissors. The profile is cut using conventional hand scissors on metal. As for wood, an ordinary hacksaw is sufficient;

• Hammer- necessary for drilling holes for dowels;
• Screwdriver for tightening self-tapping screws (with appropriate attachments);
• Measuring tool. The work cannot be done without a level, tape measure and pencil. You cannot build a frame without controlling the plane.

Workflow Description

The procedure for covering a balcony with clapboard is as follows:

• Marking for profile fastening. First of all, it is necessary to mark the surfaces for fastening the wall profile. It is best to use a level to draw a line along which the structure will be aligned;

Important! To secure the frame securely and set it level, you need to find the most protruding part of the surface and push off from it.

• Marking for racks. Next, lines are drawn along the surface along which the main racks will be located. The elements should be located in increments of 40 cm; markings are made at this distance;
• Wall profile it is attached around the perimeter; for this, marks are made on the wall and holes are drilled, the depth and diameter of which must correspond to the dimensions of the dowels. A dowel is inserted into the hole, after which the screw is simply driven in with a hammer. There is no need to tighten it, which greatly simplifies and speeds up the process;

• If your surface is made of wood or aerated concrete, then you do not need to drill holes for dowels. You can simply attach it using self-tapping screws that are 30mm or longer in length. The fastener spacing is no more than 50 cm;

• Suspensions are attached along the line of passage of the main posts at a distance of 50 cm from each other. It is important to secure them firmly, since these elements will be responsible for the rigidity of the structure;
• Attaching the main profile.

The step-by-step instructions look like this:

• Element inserted into the guide bar, adjusted to the desired position and secured with self-tapping screws;
• Suspensions bend to the stand, use a level to set the ideal position and fix it;

• Corner trim. On the balcony, work with wooden lining begins from the corner. Fastening can be done as follows:
  • screws through top part elements;
  • self-tapping screws through the panel tenon;
  • clamps (they are also fixed with screws).

• Overhang mounting- the simplest solution, the diagram below shows just such an option. It is important to position the mount so that it is covered by the next panel;

• Sheathing wooden paneling of the balcony is carried out until all areas are closed. The last step is to secure the corners and baseboards to cover the joints and improve the appearance of the surfaces.

Hello, I am interested in the issue of installing wooden lining on a metal profile. Is it possible to fasten the lining with self-tapping screws? Or are there other mounting methods (profile for GP)?

Dmitry, Ukraine.

Hello, Dmitry from Ukraine!

You must have some kind of unusual situation, if the question concerns the installation of lining on a metal profile of the GP type.

It is clear that the wooden one is mounted on wooden cranial bars, or on a mounting profile (also metal made of galvanized or aluminum) in the form of slats. Which in turn are attached to the wall or ceiling.

A metal profile of the GP type (GP-8, GP-12, etc.) is a sheet whose end resembles a trapezoidal contour with wide flanges and a narrow bottom, a shelf height of 8, 12, etc. millimeters. Or the GP-20 D, which, on the contrary, has small width mushrooms and a large bottom width.

Accordingly, the same GP-8 is used for fencing the facade surfaces of buildings, indoors, and sometimes for the construction of fences. A GP-20 D for roofing.

If you would like to attach wooden lining to a metal profile, it is clear that this cannot be done with nails, since, having pierced the lining, the nail will rest against the metal and not every nail is capable of piercing galvanized steel standard thickness. It will simply bend if it is galvanized finish, and not ordinary steel with a diameter of three millimeters. But, with rare exceptions, they don’t fasten the lining like this.

Theoretically, it is possible to sew the lining onto the GP profile using self-tapping screws, preferably with metal screws, which have a finer knurling (pitch) of thread. Such screws will hold more firmly, unlike wood screws. Self-tapping screws are either black or galvanized with a press washer (which is made integral with the screw, and not separately). Roofing screws should be used with caution, as they can turn the lining with their self-tapping edges.

But this labor-intensive method, a method is more often used when a wooden plank or block is first mounted on a metal profile with several self-tapping screws, and then the lining itself is nailed directly to this plank-block with nails. This will make your life easier, since you won’t have to fasten each panel with screws directly to the metal.

/If the lining will be exposed to moisture, for example, it is a fence on the street, then self-tapping screws are much preferable to nails, which can be torn out when wet boards warp./

Two more points. Do not forget about the relative position of the lining and the metal profile. The lining must be directed perpendicular to the direction of the profile waves. Then you will clearly hit the fasteners on the top of the profile waves, and not just anywhere. /If you first attach the wooden planks-bars, which were discussed above, then both the metal profile and the lining will be located in the same direction./

In addition, it is always very desirable to have a layer of film between metal and wood to waterproof one from the other. This can be glassine, moisture, thermal protective film and all films for similar purposes.

Do not forget that the sharp ends of the screws will stick out from the other side of the metal profile. It's one thing if it doesn't affect anything. Another thing is that if it is visible from the outside of the building, this disgrace will have to be covered.

And lastly, do not forget that you need to balance your efforts when tightening screws. So that they are tightly and completely wrapped, and that when wrapping it is sometimes necessary to take measures to prevent deflections of the profile sheets from the applied forces.

This is my take on your question.

The method of creating durable skins for railway cars by connecting boards using a tongue-and-groove lock was copied by builders. Covering the walls with clapboard turned out to be practical.

The board looks beautiful, there are no through cracks when the wood dries and there is no warping. Installation is simple and accessible to all craftsmen who want to make facade siding and insulation with their own hands.

Types of lining and purpose

Restore the old dacha and bathhouse, give them a new look decorative look, make it unique and warm apartment, update frame house, the tree allows. My nephew stubbornly followed me, performing the duties of a helper. He learned how to clap the outside of houses with clapboards with his own hands, tried to lay them correctly finishing material. While we were working, we discussed the lining and its ability to give the building a decorative look.

Wall lining is made from various materials:

• Tree.
• A metal sheet.
• OSB board.

Plastic and metal are used outside, in production premises, warehouses, insulation is laid under them. The lathing is made from metal profiles, there may be other options. Pressed wood boards are used for painting. The finishing technology is simple, you can do it yourself. Starting profiles, outer and inner corners, and linings are selected for the lining sheets of the same color.

Kirill was interested in which lining was the most popular and varied. The tree has always been and remains the main thing building material. Natural wood is used for the panel. As always, Kirill presented my stories laconically in tables. He did the same with wooden clapboards.

Wood species:	Moisture resistance level:	Application area:
Pine:	low	recreation room, living room, facade, veranda, attic.
Spruce:	low	balcony, terrace, attic, loggia.
Linden:	high	bathhouse, steam room.
Alder:	high	sauna, steam room, kitchen, office, living room, children's room, bedroom, bath, toilet, corridor, gazebo.
Cedar:	average	interior, facade, attic.
Larch:	high	steam room, bathhouse, sauna, bedroom, kitchen.
Oak:	high	kitchen, bath, office, living room, hallway, corridor, gazebo.

You can cover the façade with clapboard and interior walls, make partitions. The direction of laying the plank can be vertical or horizontal. The lining differs in cross-sectional shape:

• Standard.
• Eurolining.
• American.
• Block house.
• Softline.
• Landhouse.

Their main difference is that they have reverse side cutouts for ventilation, chamfer shapes. The block house has an oval top that imitates a log Vacation home. A universal lock allows you to combine them in one cladding different types finishing board.

Do-it-yourself wall decoration with clapboard (video)

Facade cladding with clapboard

We arrived at the address. There was before us old dacha, which had to be insulated, made beautiful facade, save walls from destruction by wind and rain. The walls must be covered with clapboard that was already lying inside. With the help of my nephew, I quickly marked the main horizontal lines along the base and measured the unevenness of the walls vertically.

We marked the beams at 40 cm intervals in order to cover the house with clapboard on the outside. The concrete plinth was decorated with stone-like siding. The lathing was made of metal profiles. Natural materials They combine perfectly with each other, imitation stone base and wooden walls.

Kirill was interested in how to cover walls with clapboard if they are uneven and wall material porous, swollen and warped. We cleared the logs of dirt. Soaked protective compounds. While the façade was drying, the planks and beams for finishing were prepared and the vapor barrier was attached. Cladding a house with clapboard is done according to strictly defined instructions. Step by step order installation looks like this.

1. A starting U-shaped profile was installed along the horizon line.
2. We leveled it and secured the beams under the frame in the corners. The lower end was brought into profile.
3. We pulled the cords in the middle and at the top so that the frame was in the same plane.
4. The remaining beams were installed along the marked vertical lines and cords. The fastening was done through a trim beam, placing it along the depressions.
5. After this, the window and door openings were sheathed along the perimeter of the slopes.
6. Insulation was placed in the gap between the sheathing strips.
7. We covered everything with a water barrier.
8. Each wall began to be covered with clapboard from the lower left corner.

First, we positioned the slats at the corner to lay the ends on the same line, making sure to leave a gap for the wood to swell. We attached the first row of lamellas from above, screwing a self-tapping screw into each beam. The rest, taking into account the vertical arrangement of the lamellas, fastened the lining with thin nails, driving them into the lower part of the lock. The next row was offset; before nailing, a small gap was left so that the frame could play.

When covering metal and plastic lining a clamper is used. It is inserted into the lock at the bottom of the groove. We made the front wall of the facade with vertical cladding using a clamp. How to cover walls with clapboard with your own hands is shown in the video. The location of the board depends on the wishes of the owner of the house:

• Horizontal.
• Vertical.
• Oblique.
• Herringbone.
• In a checkerboard pattern.

The sketch is sketched in advance, and the beam is attached perpendicular to the direction of the cladding. Platbands, corner elements and decorative design carved patterns This is done after the lining on the walls is completely installed.

Interior wall decoration

Kirill helped me complete my next order, covering a large room with clapboard in the house. The customer wanted to make a living room with a fireplace for relaxation in Provence style. We had to combine the finishes. We leveled the wall with the fireplace using dry plaster and plasterboard. The lath was made of metal profile. After sealing the joints, wallpaper was hung at a distance from the fireplace. The hearth was surrounded artificial stone by making thermal insulation between the stone and vinyl wallpaper.

Pine slats with a Softline profile, thanks to the rounded chamfer on top, imitate the laying of overlapping boards. Sheathing material has a decorative appearance, especially the Extra variety, which has a knot-free pattern. You can look at the clapboard-covered wall endlessly. It can decorate any interior. The design in its diversity is presented in the photo.

Advantages frame construction in the ability to quickly build a house, make it warm and beautiful. It was difficult to cope with the volume of work together with Kirill. We worked as a team of 4 people. The frame was installed earlier; the company that produces ready-made home blocks itself delivered and installed them.

I calculated how much lining we would need to cover the walls outside and inside, taking the size from the frame drawing. Now the lamellas have been cut in advance. The length of each board was 5 cm less than the height. The idea to sheathe the block house vertically with clapboard belonged to my nephew. Original design and practicality were combined in this decision. Textured wall looked decorative and original on the streets. The water flowed down the varnished surfaces without stopping.

Horizontal slats for fastening the lining simultaneously held the mineral wool laid in the space of the frame. To begin the trim, we first nailed the slats horizontally to guide the trim slats vertically. We will screw fasteners into flat bars. Detailed plan actions can be seen in the video. We decided to do the street front façade last.

By this time, a plan should be born in the head of our assistant Kirill decorative design external cladding. Appearance private house has great importance. We used fasteners with clamps. They made it possible to fix and guide each board separately, maintaining a gap for expansion. The end bar was installed at the top. An ebb tide was installed below.

Interior decoration of the bath

A bathhouse is usually built from pine logs. For interior decoration steam rooms wood coniferous species doesn't fit. When it heats up, it releases resin. With a small amount, the aroma of the Christmas tree calms and puts you in the mood for relaxation. The sauna creates an atmosphere of strong smell and heavy air. Cover the walls in the steam room better than alder, releasing a medicinal aroma, or birch. Features of bath lining, use wooden nails. The metal has high thermal conductivity and will leave burns on the body upon contact.
