In which cases outer skin a house made of timber is really needed. It is known that even the most durable wood, including glued beams, is subject to decay processes, can swell under the wobble of rainy weather. weather conditions, may react negatively to aggressive environmental influences. Wall cladding will help save the walls.
Why is it needed?
A house made of timber, aged, having lost its original beauty, or a new one, recently erected, requires external protection. Not to mention the fact that after facing, its appearance will significantly improve. The tree requires constant attention, every 4-5 years (deadline) it is required to process it protective equipment, maintain the health of wood, invest money, waste time. Sheathing will save money and effort, you need to do it without delay.
Important! Sheathing a log house should be after 2-3 years of shrinkage, with the exception of glued laminated timber, which practically does not change its shape.
However, only competent cladding of the house will protect it. The main advantage of wood is its ability to breathe. Proper finishing consists in maintaining the strength of the timber, creating a microclimate that is favorable for the health of the wood.
The wooden structure must, first of all, be protected from moisture. Increased moisture creates conditions for the formation of fungal formations, mold. Rotting processes can turn a tree into dust in a short time. The moisture level of the walls after shrinkage is 10-12%, the development of fungal colonies occurs when its level reaches 22%. The walls swell from slanting rains, fogs, during the snowmelt period, the tree, like a pump, draws in moisture and transfers it to interventional heaters. Saturation with vapor occurs from within the house.
Wall protection - ventilation, vapor barrier. The use of diffusion membranes, with many micro-holes, windproof, repelling drops of moisture and vapor barrier films that do not allow water vapor to pass through are essential for proper wall cladding.
Important! Do not use polyethylene, wrapping the structure tightly, not allowing the wood to breathe. The use of ordinary spunbond, megaisol and other vapor barrier membranes is preferable, by the way, they are not much more expensive.
It is mandatory to install ventilation gaps for any type of finish, which contribute to the release of moisture, free air circulation.
For arranging the frame on which it is mounted finishing material, you should use a wooden beam with a section of 4x5, 5x5. To create the recommended ventilation gap of 4-5 cm, you should use a counter rail from the same beam. The ventilated facade assumes the presence of openings closed with gratings that provide free air flow.
Important! Usage metal profile not recommended. The metal freezes, and when thawed, condensate is released, filling the interior with moisture.
Linen or jute are preferred as insulation. Mats made of these materials are not cheap, but their use is fully justified. Mineral wool will sag over time, artificial polymer materials, not breathable, not very healthy, while natural insulation lasts a long time, protects reliably.
What properties should the materials have?
There are many materials for cladding a house. But you need those that have important characteristics for this purpose:
- low thermal conductivity;
- high fire resistance;
- biological stability;
- inertness to chemical environments;
- breathability.
Add to this the ease of installation and low cost. The aesthetic merits of materials are of no small importance.
For facing a log house, the construction market today offers various options, it is worth considering only a few of them. This:
- block house;
- corrugated board;
- siding;
- brick;
- thermal panels.
These materials have undoubted advantages, have disadvantages. Everyone has different cost And operating parameters. Each type of finish can be used for a log house, in terms of preserving the walls, protecting them.
The advantages of a block house start with the attractive appearance. This is especially valuable for those who would like to preserve the appearance of a wooden structure. Block house according to the manufacturing method happens:
- wooden;
- metallic;
- vinyl.
The first one is made from natural wood, by processing “a square in a circle”, the outer semicircles of logs are cut down, impregnated with special compounds, packed, excluding any deformation. The disadvantages include the weight of the finish, which creates a serious load on the foundation and load-bearing walls, which should be taken into account when finishing old houses, as a rule, without foundations.
Metal block - the house imitates wood, it can be steel or aluminum. A clear advantage of the material is durability, wear resistance, inertness to sunlight, biochemical aggression. Modern manufacturers offer a variety of colors, sophistication of textures, the buyer is given a decent choice.
Vinyl block - house is made of PVC, its advantages are durability, light weight, resistance to temperature extremes. The disadvantages include the fragility of the material, especially in severe frosts. Aesthetic data are acceptable.
Installation of the block house is carried out on wooden frame, installed on a wall previously prepared and sheathed with a membrane film.
Important! The beam used for the frame requires additional treatment with antiseptics and fire retardants. Residual moisture content of the timber should not exceed 12%. If the weight of one stick is noticeable, you need to dry it.
The pitch of the crate is 50-60cm, the counter crate is made from a beam of the same section or 30x40mm, installed on a layer of wind protection. Installation of block-house panels starts from the bottom up. The installation must be horizontal. The lower part of the building (at least 30 cm from the ground) is sheathed with stone or plinth panels.
The block-house is equipped with convenient locking joints, you can fasten the panels to the crate with clamps, self-tapping screws, galvanized nails.
The main advantage of corrugated board is its price. As well as all the materials considered in the article, it is easy to install, and therefore popular with those who do everything with their own hands. In addition, corrugated board is durable, has good performance characteristics, Not big weight, not particularly increasing the load on the load-bearing walls and foundation.
Manufacturers offer plain sheets or with a pattern that imitates wood. Sheets are produced with a thickness of 0.8 mm to 1 mm, the height of the corrugation ranges from 8 mm to 35 mm, the width of the sheet also varies from 1076x1035 to 1200x1150 mm.
What is corrugated steel, it is a corrugated steel sheet with an external coating, there are two types of office:
- zinc;
- polymeric.
A fairly common coating is galvanized. It is applied during the sheet rolling process by hot application. The use of such a profiled sheet is unlikely to decorate the house, dull colors, dull gray are not even suitable for a fence, in addition, over time the material becomes vulnerable to corrosion, the only advantage is low cost.
Advice! It is better to use a polymer-coated profiled sheet, its cost is not much different from galvanized sheets, and the benefits are much higher.
The combined coating of zinc with aluminum eliminates these disadvantages. The professional sheet acquires quite worthy specifications, resistance to biochemical attack, abrasion, anti-corrosion properties. Polymer coatings with similar chemical and technical characteristics also look attractive. Polymers are applied over galvanization. Plastoizol with a layer of 175 microns protects against ultraviolet radiation, polyester adds shine to surfaces, pural significantly improves the strength of the sheet and its appearance.
Sheathe the surface of the walls with a profiled sheet according to the principle of a ventilated facade. If necessary, lay a layer of insulation, mandatory vapor barrier and wind protection. You can mount it on a frame made of wooden beams or a metal profile.
Profile pitch 60cm. First install brackets with self-leveling function on self-tapping screws. Installation is carried out in one vertical direction. U-shaped vertical profiles are placed on the brackets. Then they fix the insulation, vapor barrier. Then the professional sheet is mounted. Fasten with self-tapping screws with caps and washers.
Important! There must be a compensation gap between the cap and the profiled sheet, which is necessary for the expansion of the material under the influence of heat. At the joints, extensions are installed to hide them.
Mounting on a beam is similar, only instead of U-shaped profiles, bars placed on the edge are installed.
In principle, a large plinth is not needed, but its presence is important in terms of the aesthetic perfection of the facade.
siding
belongs to the most popular species facade design. The material is relatively inexpensive, has all the necessary technical and operational advantages. Suffice it to say that such a finish serves up to 50 years. Houses sheathed with siding look attractive, neat.
First, the obligatory preparation of the walls is carried out, unnecessary details are removed, lanterns, ebbs, window sills are removed, nails are removed. Cracks and cracks are filled with sealants. The timber is treated with antiseptics, impregnations with protective properties that prolong the life of wood.
Advice! Better to use silicone sealants, when hardened, they isolate cracks from moisture, fasten them, enhancing the cohesion of the tree.
For the frame, it is preferable to use a beam 40x40, 40x50mm, treated with an antiseptic against decay and microorganisms. During installation, you need to monitor the evenness of the lines so that the surface of the siding is perfect, use a level.
The insulation is placed between the racks of the crate, a vapor barrier membrane film is mounted on top. Then a crate is installed to obtain a ventilated facade. The beam for her may be smaller sizes 30x40mm.
Installation of siding begins with the launch pad. All subsequent strips are installed with a gap for thermal expansion. corners equip special elements, also separate parts will be needed to frame window and doorways. Manufacturers believe that for the installation of siding, there are enough locking joints that all strips are equipped with, however, practice shows that additional fixation with self-tapping screws will not hurt.
The choice of siding is great. Plastic siding is distinguished by excellent properties, hygroscopicity, inertness to biochemical effects, durability. Its price is quite affordable for the average income. The disadvantage is fragility, especially in cold weather, average resistance to burning. metal siding differs in the increased wear resistance, does not burn out on the sun unlike plastic. Durability and the ability to maintain its original appearance are its special advantages. Disadvantages - more high price, great weight. wood siding is not in high demand. Such protection requires constant care, treatment with antiseptics, it is not reasonable to protect a tree with a tree. JL for finishing the basement, there is a special siding - basement.
brick finish
Brick sheathing is the erection of a barrier of considerable weight. Such cladding should be planned at the design stage. In addition, a well-equipped ventilation system is required to free the timber from excess moisture. It is advisable to use brick cladding only if the house is laid out of a bar with a section of 150x150, saving on wall material, you will have to spend money on additional insulation so that exploitation does not ruin the family budget.
The foundation must be wide so that the sole area can withstand the general loads. ventilation gap at least 50 mm wide to the width of the insulation layer. You will need ventilation holes equipped with gratings in the second row of masonry every 10 meters.
Fasten the brick to the timber wall with the help of ties - metal elements, one of which is walled up in a masonry seam, and the second is hammered into a bar. There are 5 ties per 1 m long brick, in height the ties are mounted on every 5th row.
Important! Brick cladding is done only after complete shrinkage.
The house after sheathing looks presentable, solid. Its performance is improved.
Facing a house from a bar with thermal panels
New technologies are gradually entering our lives. Sheathing with thermal panels not only improves the characteristics of the house at times, it radically changes the appearance of the building, turning it into a fabulous tower.
The material replaces brick, stone, does not require insulation, the multilayer porous structure reliably protects the walls from moisture, frost, and other environmental influences. Vapor barrier and wind protection are not required, everything is provided in the structure of the panels. To install thermal panels and forget about the problems of the facade for many years, paying, however, decent money for the material is a reasonable solution.
Installation can be done wet way(thermal panels are glued to the wall surface), a crate can be installed. Fastening is carried out by tightly joining the panels to each other, fixing with self-tapping screws.
The choice of material for sheathing a house from siding is diverse. What is best for you - decide!
Having finished with the construction of a house from a bar, it is too early to relax. The final stage is the finishing work inside the premises to give the house cozy atmosphere. You can see the options for interior decoration of a house from a bar in the photos below.
Interior finishing works
The work on finishing a log house inside includes several stages, which include:
- conducting communications (electricity, pipelines for water, heating and sewerage);
- wood treatment with impregnating antiseptics and fire resistance compounds;
- heat and waterproofing of the house;
- preparatory work for finishing walls, ceilings and floors;
- installation interior doors;
- final work on wall, ceiling and floor cladding.
Without work experience and sufficient knowledge of repairs, it is advisable to hire workers for a quality job done, which will have to spend more money than planned. This is especially true for communications.
Example of interior decoration wooden house
Before proceeding with the finishing work of the premises inside, it is necessary to draw up a thoughtful design to the smallest detail. This will help you visually see what you need to strive for and calculate the required amount of materials and their cost.
Features of interior finishing work in timber houses
Interior decoration at home is to use the same materials that are used in other houses. But wooden houses have two important features that must be considered before proceeding with the finishing work:
- the primary shrinkage of houses made of timber is significantly higher than that of others. Before it is completed, it may take two to six years after construction is completed;
- secondary shrinkage. It is not particularly noticeable (less than 1% of the floor height).
The primary shrinkage is affected by the drying of the timber and its slight decrease in volume. There is a decrease in the gaps between the bars, which is constantly affected by effective load. As a result, after the end of shrinkage, there is a decrease by 2-3 cm in floor height. Significant deformation can adversely affect finishing works ah (the appearance of cracks of various sizes in the plaster, tiles falling off in places).
Glued laminated timber in a section
Glued laminated timber will help resolve the issue over time. In this case, the shrinkage of the house will stop one year after the completion of construction.
Secondary shrinkage is affected by fluctuations in temperature and moisture content of the wood. It should not adversely affect the facing coatings.
Materials for finishing a house from a bar inside
There are several options for interior decoration of a house made of glued or profiled timber for the first time after construction.
Floor installation
Before bed flooring, it is necessary to raise the subfloor with the insulation and waterproofing layer laid in it and covered with boards. This floor design is quite simple, retains heat well and protects against noise.
Materials for clean flooring are:
- Planed sheet pile board. She is pure ecological material which is breathable and has excellent moisture resistance. The board is strong, durable and easy to maintain. It has many options for processing and toning. It is well updated with scraping or regular grinding. Such a floor covering is not suitable for underfloor heating, because. most of heat will be spent on heating the sheet pile itself.
- Parquet board or laminate. The material is suitable for the "warm floor" system. When choosing a coating that has good thermal conductivity, it is necessary to pay attention to the one that is indicated by the appropriate marking.
IN wooden house it is better to make a wooden floor
wall decoration
Before finishing the walls in a house from a bar inside, you need to treat them with an antiseptic.
Processed wood. Wood in itself can be a wonderful finishing material. In case the surface internal walls does not have any flaws, then they can be left like that, without finishing anything. It is only necessary to impregnate the tree special composition to get the desired shade.
Wall painting will not only preserve the natural wood structure, but will also be an additional protection for the tree. It is necessary to choose for internal walls such paint coatings, which have the lowest amount of harmful substances.
Plaster. It is necessary to finish the walls with it only after a year after the construction of the house. Here it is important to pay special attention to the waterproofing of wooden surfaces.
Block house or lining. When outwardly the walls do not look very attractive, but you want to preserve the special pattern that the wooden surface has, such materials are used. This finish is applicable only after shrinkage of the house. A frame is created for installation, which will slightly reduce the area of \u200b\u200bthe room.
Wall panels. They are made from wood without adding glue. The material is eco-friendly and hypoallergenic. They have good thermal insulation characteristics, easy installation and excellent sound absorption. The panels on top are covered with vinyl wallpaper or linen fabric.
Drywall. On this type of finish, after applying putty, wallpaper is glued, painted and tiles are laid. For rooms with high humidity, it is necessary to choose drywall that is resistant to moisture. Its leaves have a greenish tint.
The material is environmentally friendly and lightweight. It is mounted on a metal or wooden frame. This design prevents contact between the timber and drywall, which keeps the load-bearing walls and sheathing from cracking. Behind it, you can carry out electrical wiring, plumbing and other communications, which will be conveniently hidden. If necessary, it is convenient to lay an insulating layer.
You can leave the wooden walls just wooden
Ceiling finish
Often, during the finishing of a log house, the beams on the ceiling are not closed inside, but serve as an element of the interior. An untiled ceiling will harmoniously fit into different styles(Provence, country). Until 5-6 years have passed to complete the shrinkage of the house, drywall or stretch ceiling. It will perfectly cover the ceiling well without preventing shrinkage of the house.
During the shrinkage of the house, a redistribution occurs in the beams on the ceiling of efforts. Only after its completion it will be possible to finish the ceiling in the usual ways, such as plaster.
It is necessary to responsibly treat the interior decoration of the premises, which consists of a number of activities. Do not forget about the significant shrinkage of the house and the sensitivity of the tree to moisture.
Video with an example of finishing the interior of a log house
It is important to start finishing work correctly, otherwise all violations and deviations from technologies will be revealed later. Correcting such mistakes is often more expensive than doing all the work in a new way. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the video, perhaps you need a similar finish option.
The final stage in the construction of a log house is its finishing. Despite a large number of advantages, wood as a material for building houses has a number of significant disadvantages. First of all, this is the effect of harmful insects, in addition, the tendency to form fungal mold and rotting of the material. But as you know, there are many various ways to protect the house from such negative factors. The main thing is the correct and high-quality finishing of a timber house.
Finishing materials for walls in a log house
Surely you know that before you start decorating the walls of a log house, you should wait for it to settle. It will take at least a year and a half, the final process will be completed no earlier than in five years. But finishing a house from a bar can be done at an earlier stage. To do this, you will need special finishing materials.
You can get by with a less radical and expensive method in order to protect the walls of the house from negative impacts external environment. Houses made of timber have a rather beautiful appearance and may well do without exterior finish walls. But this will require careful and impregnation with special protective compounds. There are two types of floor coverings:
- tonic, which is designed to create a certain shade;
- protective, ensuring the smoothness of the wall.

Log house: the most popular types of finishes
If you decide that your house requires mandatory wall finishing before the final subsidence, you should decide on the choice of finishing material.
- Plaster. Most actual option is plaster. This material has the lowest price, and its maximum service life reaches 25 years. Most often, plaster is used as a preliminary layer for paint or for leveling walls. All plaster work is done by hand.
- Siding. Often, wall decoration in a log house is carried out using siding. This construction material just like the previous one, it has a low price. If the base, for example, is plastic, then it does not rot and does not require periodic painting. This wall decoration is mounted much easier than many other options. To process siding, a minimum number of the most simple tools. There are several types of siding: vinyl, metal, wood, wood and cement.
- Wall decoration with facing bricks. This type of finish has a very beautiful appearance. Facing bricks can be of various color shades. In addition, this material can be smooth, corrugated, with all kinds of patterns, etc. Due to a special modifying additive facing brick has high strength, guarantees a long service life, ideally withstands temperature changes, conducts and withstands heat perfectly.
- Fake diamond. Unlike natural stone, artificial stone is a lighter material. Do not count on the low price of this type of decoration in the house. In addition, this process is considered quite laborious. Before finishing artificial stone the wall must be treated with a special adhesive composition. Keep in mind that the cost of such a composition is also very high. Construction market It has a wide range of of this material, which allows you to find the texture you have planned and choose any color shade that is suitable for your home.
- Lining as a finish for a log house. Lining is in no less great demand. Outwardly, these are ordinary boards with tongue-and-groove joints. In addition, for finishing in the house with your own hands, you can apply decorative look lining, very similar to a bar. Such material is called a block house.
After your house has settled thoroughly, absolutely any material can be used to decorate it.

Stages of work
Finishing the house from a bar outside.
The exterior finish of a wooden house is needed to provide more reliable protection from external influences.
The facade of the building must perform many very important functions. Among them - reliable thermal insulation, sound insulation, good air exchange, as well as fire resistance. Besides, correct finish at home protects the log house from dampness, therefore, it excludes the appearance of fungal mold on it.
- Caulking of the walls of a timber house. First of all, you need to calculate the number required material for home decoration. In order to prevent gaps between the crowns, in addition to other work, you will need a caulk. When building in houses, it is required to caulk the walls at least twice. After that, the same procedure is carried out with outer side Houses. After waiting for the final shrinkage, you should repeat the caulking of the walls again. When assembling a log house, each crown is covered with a special insulation no more than 1 cm thick. When assembling window and door openings, the thickness insulation material in log cabins it is required to increase up to 4 cm. It is better to caulk timber in houses from the bottom up.
- The process of preparing the walls in the house. For finishing with artificial stone, ceramics, as well as for painting the walls in the house, it is necessary to carefully sand. If you decide to use siding as a finishing material, you will need to install a crate on the log cabins. The next step is to treat the log cabins with a layer of special impregnation, which will provide protection from fungal mold, temperature changes associated with the change of seasons, and from the attack of harmful insects.
- Warming and sheathing of a log house. In order to insulate a wooden house, you should use mineral wool. Lay this material between outer wall and frame. First of all, it is necessary to install a vapor barrier, after which the wall is covered with aluminum foil (can be replaced with roofing felt or plastic wrap). In order to provide wind insulation, a polyethylene film is nailed over the mineral wool with nails.
Only after completing all of the above points, you can proceed to the sheathing of a decorative nature. Keep in mind that the walls must be painted within four days of sanding. The choice of colors is great, including a wide range offering a versatile product look. But the best option is paint designed to work with wood.
Having completed the timber house, you should not think that all the work is over. On the contrary, the most interesting is just ahead! To create a cozy atmosphere, the interior decoration of a house made of timber is necessary, which requires more detailed attention.
And how to properly conduct it, read this article.
Interior work in a wooden house - an integrated approach
If you have not yet come across the term "interior decoration of log houses", then it is worth explaining that this is a whole set of cases, which includes:
- Laying of communications (heating, water supply, sewerage, electricity);
- Impregnation of wooden walls with antiseptics and fire-resistant compounds; (see also article)
- Thermal insulation and waterproofing of walls, floor, ceiling (if necessary);
- Installation of partitions and other structures;
- Preparing walls, ceilings, floors decorative trim(levelling, installation of a frame for fixing sheathing material, etc.);
- Finishing cladding of walls, ceilings, floors;
- Installation of interior doors, switches, lighting fixtures.
Advice!
If you have never done any of the above works before, then it is better to entrust it to qualified specialists.
Well let it go more Money than originally planned.
But so you can be sure that everything is done efficiently and reliably.
This is especially true for communications.
It is quite possible to cope with the rest of the tasks on your own.
The interior decoration of a house made of profiled timber is a responsible matter. Therefore, before proceeding with it, it would be good to draw up a design project in which all the nuances will be clearly spelled out. In particular, the location of heating pipes, electricity, sewerage and much more.
That is, you need to clearly consider all the previously given points: from draft materials to decorative coatings - their type, required quantity, cost, color, texture, etc.
Another important point, which should be known - everyone wooden buildings shrinkage exists.
This process can be roughly divided into two stages:
- Primary shrinkage - in most cases continues during the first 2 years due to the drying of the wood. Due to the fact that at this time there is a decrease in the gaps between the bars under the weight of the roof, cracks of various sizes may appear outside and inside the room. In addition, the ceiling and walls may shrink by 2-3 centimeters.
In view of this, experts do not recommend using rigid structures (for example, drywall, plastic panels) when decorating walls and ceilings until the shrinkage of the house is completed. - Secondary - associated with fluctuations in humidity and temperature of wood. As a rule, it is insignificant and is unlikely to somehow negatively affect the internal facing coatings.
Then, what can be the interior decoration of a house made of glued laminated timber or profiled timber in the first years after construction is completed?
The best thing to do here is:
- plaster bearing structures and cover them with special paints and varnishes that protect the tree from mold and decay;
- Mount a two-layer subfloor;
- Leave the ceiling as it is or use a stretch fabric.

Draft and finishing floor
First of all, the draft floor rises from the timber in the dwelling. We advise staying on a double floor structure- it will best keep the heat inside the room.
How is it, double subfloor? That is, special logs are constructed, between which a heater with a waterproofing layer (for example, mineral wool) is laid. Then the whole thing is covered with boards, followed by a fine floor covering. Perhaps this is the simplest, most economical and effective option in terms of saving heat and sound insulation.
But as a finishing floor covering in timber houses it is very popular to use such materials:
- Planed sheet piling.
It has many advantages, of which I would like to highlight the following in particular:
- it is a 100% environmentally friendly material, which, thanks to natural data and special impregnations, "breathes" and has excellent resistance to moisture;
- strength and durability - another advantage of the sheet pile board (besides, it is very convenient and easy to care for such a floor);
- modern variations in the processing and tinting of the surface of the boards make it possible to harmoniously fit them into almost any interior;
- if necessary, the flooring can always be updated by scraping or regular sanding of the boards.
- But if water or infrared system"warm floor", then about floorboard you can forget. The fact is that a decent part of the heat will be spent on heating the sheet pile.
In this case, a laminate or parquet board is most often used for laying the finishing floor.
Important!
When choosing parquet/laminate for underfloor heating, pay attention to the presence of the appropriate marking, which should indicate that the coating has good heat conductivity.
Wall cladding options
As mentioned above, the interior decoration of the walls of a house from a bar implies their preparation (puttying, insulation, moisture and vapor barrier, etc. work) and further cladding with a finishing material / coating.
Advice!
Before finishing wall structures, answer yourself the question: “for what purposes will the built house be used?”.
If it was built to spend only weekends and summer holidays in it, then you can safely save on warming.
After all, in winter period no one will live here.
But if on the contrary, (that is, this is the main dwelling), then it is simply necessary to insulate the walls.
As for the finishing coating of the walls, there are many interesting solutions. True, when the house is shrinking (recall - the first 2 years after construction is completed), it is better to limit yourself to paints, varnishes or a simple stain.
This treatment is remarkable in that the natural grain of the wood is preserved. After all, the tree itself has unique patterns that are drawn by the most talented artist - nature. Why hide this beauty? This technique is especially effective if the walls of the house are built from a bar of valuable species.
Attention!
When choosing paint and varnish coatings, give preference to those that contain as few substances harmful to health as possible.
By the way!
Modern paint is matte, semi-gloss and glossy - also consider this when buying it.
In the event that shrinkage is no longer threatened, the interior decoration of a wooden house from a bar can be made with sheet materials.
Let's look at the most fashionable of them:
- Wall panels Isotex. They are usually made from wood without the addition of glue, therefore they have excellent environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity. The advantages here also include good thermal insulation characteristics, sound-absorbing properties and easy installation.
As outer coating panels are vinyl wallpaper or linen fabrics. In specialized stores you will certainly find a rich assortment of these products, made in various color scheme and invoice.
- Drywall - actively used everywhere for internal works. And this is not surprising, because any architectural creations (in particular arches) can be created from it! In addition, it has a small specific gravity, easy to process and is an environmentally friendly material. Oh yes, the price for it is very, very pleasant, despite the mass of useful qualities.
Installation instructions drywall sheets involves attaching them to a metal or wooden frame, which is pre-constructed on wall structures. Such a system is convenient in that the beam and drywall will not come into contact with each other - this will save both the load-bearing walls and the sheathing from cracking.
Behind sheet material, in the frame you can conveniently hide electrical wiring, plumbing, and other communications (not to mention the insulation layer).
- Interior wall decoration with imitation timber - siding, lining, block house, MDF panels. Many of our compatriots like real Russian log huts, but, alas, this is very expensive pleasure. Therefore, it is necessary to build from cheaper material - profiled or glued timber, which has rectangular section. (see article for more details)
Interior finishing imitation of timber allows you to give log house that missing nobility, and without spending a lot of money, time and effort. A room with such a lining is difficult to distinguish from natural logs.

- A wide range of applications - such panels can also be used for interior decoration of a bath from a bar with your own hands or for external cladding of buildings. And this is thanks to unique properties material: resistance to moisture, temperature extremes, ultraviolet and other harmful effects.
- Simplified installation - a convenient groove fastening system not only facilitates the cladding process, but also makes decorative coating monolithic and durable.
As you can see, the interior decoration of houses made of glued laminated timber can be very diverse and original, to match the chosen style of interior design.
Once we started the repair - let's not forget about the ceiling
Here, again, it is necessary to proceed from whether shrinkage occurs at the time of finishing work or not. If there is no shrinkage, you can implement any ideas with any existing materials.
And in a newly completed house, it is more rational to choose one of the two solutions below:
- Leave the ceiling in open form. It's great if the interior of the room will correspond to this approach. An unlined ceiling can harmoniously fit in and emphasize country style or Provence, for example.
- Make a stretch ceiling that perfectly closes the ceiling hole and does not interfere with the shrinkage of the house.
Conclusion
Any interior decoration (not only timber structures) is a complex event that simultaneously solves several problems. important tasks. Therefore, it must be taken with all seriousness. Only then will the desired coziness, comfort and warmth reign in the house!
And in the posted video in this article there is visual information on the topic we have touched upon.
The next stage of work after building a house from a bar will be finishing its walls from the inside. This is relatively easy to do if you have done everything yourself before. If you encounter difficulties at any stage at any time, you can find the necessary information or transfer part of the wall processing functions to professional repairmen.
If you still plan to work on your own, you need to remember about the shrinkage of the walls. It is most often possible to carry out internal repairs in houses made of timber only after 5-6 years from the moment the building is fully ready. After all, shrinkage wooden structures occurs constantly, which means that the height of the structure gradually decreases over the years.
The procedure for carrying out work during the interior decoration of houses from a bar
Of course, depending on the materials chosen and the repair plan, the scheme of work may change, but there are a few general rules:
- in many cases it is most convenient to start with laying the floor, where internal communications can easily be hidden; flooring can be both temporary and permanent, but always well insulated;
- then they process the profiled or glued beam: sealing the walls from cracks, treating with antiseptics, if necessary - puttying, grinding and polishing the wooden parts of the house from the inside;
- on final stage taken for the ceiling, which must also be well insulated.
Experience shows that, having minimal knowledge in construction, but working carefully and accurately, it is possible to carry out quality repair walls of a wooden house made of solid or glued beams.
Varieties of interior decoration
The interior decoration of a log house should fit into the overall style of the building. Ideally, if you use wooden wagon boards inside as well, or process directly profiled or glued beams decorative materials. In the latter case, when professional styling logs you will get an excellent result that will delight you and make a good impression on your guests.
If you want to sheathe the walls and make repairs cheaper, take a closer look at modern and inexpensive building materials: drywall, plastic panels or plaster. They look no less advantageous, creating their own unique cozy style which will please many. It often happens that the walls of wooden houses are trimmed from the inside into an apartment, and the latter, on the contrary, are decorated with an imitation of timber.
Decorative timber processing
The only requirement before performing such repair work- high-quality heat and waterproofing of a house from a bar. After all, later on you won’t be able to change anything and you will have to completely change the design style or redo everything in a new way. In any case, do not forget that wooden logs need to be sanded to give them the most attractive appearance.
If you decide to sheathe a log house in this way, you can start repairs almost immediately after the construction of the building. No need to wait for shrinkage, because it practically does not affect the final result.
Depending on the method of laying wooden logs (in a paw or in a bowl), you should choose the appropriate option for interior decoration: varnishing or painting. Each of them will preserve the natural structure of the timber and allow it to "breathe".
Where to hide communications and how to decorate the ceiling
Please note that hiding communications when decorative processing walls in the described way will have to be under the floor or in the corners of the rooms. To give the open elements an aesthetic look, use boarding, and then paint or varnish them, depending on the main method of arranging the walls of the house.
Also remember that in this case the ceiling will look better if you arrange it natural wood, for example, wagon board.
The main advantage of the described method in the processing of natural logs is the preservation of the natural, natural internal structure of the room after painting or varnishing. In addition, this is a significant savings in time, effort and money.
The only thing you have to put up with is the need to periodically (every 3-5 years) repeat the repair again, because due to shrinkage and shrinkage, the wooden walls are slightly curved. But, you must admit that varnishing or painting is a fairly quick process that is easy to handle in a few days.
The use of the wagon board
This material is not only relatively affordable and reliable, but also versatile: they finish both the walls and the ceiling with the floor. Please note that you will need to make a crate so that the wagon board lays flat. In addition, most of the internal communications can easily be hidden in the resulting space, and insulation can also be placed here.
There are three types of lining on sale:
- "Regular" - the most affordable, but also the least quality;
- universal - more expensive, but reliability and durability are an order of magnitude higher than in the first case;
- Block House - maximum quality and the best technical specifications; one side of it imitates a wooden frame.
- lumber imitation is a finishing material that is used for cladding, including lumber houses, to preserve natural look buildings after wall insulation. In addition, if over time the wooden walls have lost their original appearance and require restoration work, then finishing them with imitation timber will return the room to its original appearance in a less costly and time-consuming way.
Remember that each of the described varieties of lining before painting or varnishing needs to be treated with antiseptic agents in order to preserve their best properties for the longest possible time.
The advantages of the wagon board include the perfect combination with natural wooden beam, giving the room a more aesthetic appearance, ease of hiding communications, reliable wall insulation and ease of installation. The “fly in the ointment” is a high tendency to ignite, the need for additional processing and a significant amount for the purchase of materials for the crate, antiseptics, etc.
Interior decoration of a log house with plasterboard
If you decide to take a closer look at modern building materials for repairs, drywall is one of the best options. When using it, you can arrange the floor parquet board or its imitation, and the ceiling, for example, with hinged plastic panels.
The main advantage of drywall is its versatility, the ability to assemble structures of any shape and size. In addition, it is easy to work with it, almost any owner of a house made of timber can handle it, even without building experience. Plus, it is relatively inexpensive and still allows you to hide the communication wiring.
There is only one minus - the need for additional processing: putty, wallpaper, etc. But after that you get almost perfect flat surface!
Plastic panels and plaster
The process of laying plastic panels is similar to working with drywall and wagon board, but the choice of color shades of the material (which will no longer require any processing) is very wide. Also here you will need a crate that helps to easily hide house communications.
Plastering is probably the easiest way to decorate the walls of a log house. At the same time, they turn out to be even and can be painted in a color that you like and suits the interior.
Whichever of the described methods of internal repair of a house made of profiled or glued laminated timber you choose, you need to remember general style and building design. Of course, natural wooden decorated logs look presentable, but these are quite high costs. If you want to save money, choose one of the many modern materials which are easy to find in most hardware stores.
