Block house is one of the most popular finishing materials. The product on the front side has a convex shape that imitates a log. This lumber is considered to be one of the types of lining, since they have the same installation method - the "thorn-groove" technology.

It is used in both external and internal decoration. The facade, finished with a blockhouse, looks like a house made of logs.

Characteristic

If we compare the block house with other boards for sheathing, then due to the arcuate profile, it has a large width. In terms of other parameters, it is similar to clapboard and imitation timber:

After manufacturing, it is thoroughly dried in a drying chamber, then it is processed.

Block house in construction

In general, there are two types of block house - wide and narrow.

1. Wide - for exterior decoration - houses, cottages, baths. The house will look like it was built from a log.

2. Narrow - used in interior decoration. This is the decoration of such premises as country houses, cafes in a certain style. Also, this lumber is used for finishing saunas, gazebos and verandas.

It is interesting that the blockhouse can be painted in any color, to create an interesting, unusual interior. It is also possible to tint varnish.

Block house: price per m 2

Depending on your construction and finishing tasks, we may buy block house different sizes in any quantities.

The price of a product depends on its size. The larger the size, the greater the thickness of the lumber. And the greater the thickness, the higher the cost.

But there are other characteristics that affect the price - the type of wood, grade. Cheaper from pine and spruce, and if you want high quality, it will be more expensive - then you need to choose from larch or cedar.

Sold by square meters or cubes. In our company, the price of a block house is below the average on the market, as we work without intermediaries.

Material Features

Let's take a closer look at what the price depends on. Of course, from the type of wood that is used in the production of this material. The quality of processing and the quality of the finished material also affect the cost, in another way we call it a category. We sell several categories of blockhouses that meet recognized European standards.

1. Category A - we allow the presence of knots, resin pockets (no more than 2), as well as through cracks - all this for every 1.5 meters,
2. Category AB - knots (light, darkened), cracks, cores are possible, but there should be no rot and through cracks - comparison on more than 50% of the material,
3. Category C - in this option, we allow the presence of knots (the so-called live or dead), wane (this is part of the side surface of the log from which the lumber was made), it is possible to change the color of the board, as well as other points.

You can buy a block house from us inexpensively of any category.

Benefits of a block house

• Versatile finishing material.
  Can be used for both exterior and interior decoration. Also suitable for finishing concrete bases, wooden, brick.
• Lightweight, easy-to-use material, which provides ease of installation and is suitable for finishing surfaces of rooms.
  It differs from other lumber for finishing in that it is very convenient to work with it in reality. The thorn-groove system makes installation easy, and the lightness of the material makes it possible to carry out work quickly and efficiently. In addition, under the blockhouse it is possible to lay any materials for thermal insulation.
• Durability in use.
  The service life of the product is affected by the humidity index. According to our standards, it does not exceed 10-12%. What gives such an indicator? The product will not crack, dry out under the influence of high and low temperatures, as well as their sudden changes. Withstands quite strong mechanical loads. The processing of the material makes it possible to be sure of the reliability of protection against insects and other environmental factors.
• In addition to a beautiful, unusual interior, you get the aroma of wood in your home.
  Environmentally friendly, does not give any fumes and odors. On the contrary, the aroma of wood is natural. Deformations are excluded.
• The only lumber that repeats the surface of the log.
  The high demand for a blockhouse is not accidental, it is a worthy and high-quality lumber. At the same time, it is economical in comparison with a solid log, but it repeats its appearance very naturally. Fasteners are not visible, so the surface looks very natural.
• Coniferous resin gives good natural waterproofing.

Block house is one of the many types of lumber used for sheathing exterior and interior walls. In appearance, it imitates a natural log, the connection is made in a tongue/groove.

Depending on the quality of the wood, it is divided into several varieties.

Due to the fact that the assessment of the quality of a block house largely depends on subjective factors, manufacturers often offer mixed varieties in one batch. In such cases, lumber is designated AB or BC. A block house is made from several types of wood, the features of lumber have a great impact on the cost.

Larch is used to finish the most prestigious houses, often used when lining baths. The most common are softwood sawn timber. The price, taking into account the type and quality of wood, ranges from 400–1600 rubles/m3.

There is no single size standard, each manufacturer works according to its own specifications, which depend on the capabilities of its equipment. The main requirement during the selection is to buy materials from only one manufacturer.

Before starting the installation, it is recommended to hold the material a little, if you plan to sheathe the inner surfaces of the walls, then let it lie unpacked in the house for several days. The block house for exterior walls also needs to be unpacked and folded in a dark place.

The block house is installed only horizontally, in connection with this, the crate is made vertical. For fixing boards, several types of hardware are used.

You can fix the block house both in the spike and in the front surface. The second method is rarely used - the appearance deteriorates significantly, the imitation of a real timber is of poor quality.

Installation of a wooden block house with insulation

The most common cladding option for the facade walls of a building. It allows not only to significantly improve the appearance of the building, but also to increase its heat saving performance to the regulatory standards. Sheathing is used both during new construction and in the repair of old buildings. The relatively low weight of the structure does not require complex measures to increase the bearing characteristics of the foundation, the technology can be used on all types of walls: brick, foam concrete, wood, etc.

Step 1. Purchase materials. If you have a large house, it is recommended to buy a wide block house, it looks great on it. Accordingly, for small buildings, buy narrow lumber, due to this, the dimensions visually increase. Calculate the area of ​​​​the walls, during the purchase, make a small margin of up to 5-7%.

Important. Remember that the block house has two widths: common and usable. Usable width does not include tenon dimensions.

For the crate under the insulation, bars are needed, the width should be the same as the thickness of the insulation.

It is better to insulate the wall with pressed or rolled mineral wool. The use of foam plastic is undesirable and is allowed only as a last resort during the sheathing of various outbuildings. The thickness of the insulation is at least 10 cm, otherwise its effectiveness will be insufficient.

Prices for mineral wool

The slats of the main crate should also be of the same height. The block house is fixed on a counter-lattice, slats with dimensions of 20 × 30 mm are suitable for it. For example, consider a house with wooden walls, we will fasten the elements with self-tapping screws or nails of the appropriate length. To fix the block house, small finishing studs about 2 cm long are also used. Finishing studs differ from ordinary ones in a small cap and the presence of an anti-corrosion coating. There are options for making finishing nails from stainless alloys.

Mineral wool must be protected from evaporation of the building (if the walls are wooden), for this, vapor barrier non-woven materials are used.

Step 2 Soak lumber with antiseptics.

If you want to additionally paint the boards, then it is better to do this even before the start of wall upholstery. Sometimes the corners and slopes of the house are sheathed with boards of a darker color - before starting work, they should also be painted.

Use only high-quality paints or wood varnishes for outdoor use. It takes a very long time to repaint buildings, it takes a lot of time to remove the old layer. It is much more profitable to immediately buy, albeit expensive, but high-quality materials.

The block house should be processed three times. Prime the first time, paint the second time and finish the third time after installation. The lacquered block house looks very nice, it is better to use these materials.

Step 3 Cover the wall with vapor barrier. The material is sold in rolls. Start fixing it from the bottom up, overlapping at least 10 cm. You can fix it with a stapler. Be sure to seal the seams with special or ordinary tape. Make sure that there are no wrinkles or sags on the surface.

Practical advice. If you are not sure about the weather, then do not sheathe the whole house at once, but in turn each wall. This will reduce the risk of surfaces getting wet during sheathing.

Step 4 Install the frame under the insulation. There are some nuances here. The fact is that in the future, a counter-lattice will be fixed to this main crate directly under the block house. This means that the distance between the vertical posts should not exceed 60 cm, consider this parameter when choosing a heater. Most manufacturers produce products with such dimensions.

Pay close attention to the frame around window and door openings. In these places, you will have to fix the extra slats under the insulation with the expectation that they will come in handy during the creation of the counter-lattice.

The first frame must be precisely aligned vertically. How it's done?

1. Check the position of the walls with a plumb line. Unscrupulous builders can overwhelm them a little, if such a problem is found, then the plane will have to be leveled due to the lining under the rails. Or vice versa, in some places, squeeze them into a cone.
2. At a distance of no more than 10 cm from the corners, fix the extreme rails, once again check their horizontal position. We recommend using a plumb line, the level at a high height of the house can make noticeable errors. Pull the ropes between them at the top and bottom.
3. Make a markup for the rest of the rails. We have already mentioned that you need to take into account the dimensions of the glass wool and the allowable distances for fastening the block house.
4. Fix the slats to the wall one by one. First, put it against the wall, if necessary - reduce the thickness. Next, you should proceed depending on the wall, everything is fine - fix it, there are problems - align the slats with linings. According to this algorithm, collect the entire crate under the insulation.

The frame is easier to install on metal corners, special slots allow you to accurately install the elements vertically.

Step 5 Replace glass wool. It should fit snugly between the laths of the crate, gaps are strictly not allowed. And not only due to the fact that the heat saving indicator will decrease. Where there is no glass wool, condensation will constantly accumulate. As a result, wooden structures are wet, even the most effective impregnations will not be able to protect them from damage for a long time. In addition, moisture will get on the glass wool and significantly increase the thermal conductivity.

For fastening glass wool, you need to use special booster cuffs (rondos). They have a wide polyethylene cuff and a self-tapping screw.

You can find recommendations to cover the front surface with a windscreen. Although none of the true professionals can say why this is done and what a positive effect will result in the end. From wind and rain, the insulation perfectly protects the sheathing with a block house. But if you wish, buy a windscreen and fasten it with a stapler to the rails.

This completes the insulation work, start sheathing the outer walls of the house. Do not postpone further work for a long time, if rains are planned, then securely cover the surfaces with plastic wrap.

Block house wall cladding

Step 1. On the first main batten, install the slats of the counter batten. It is now easy to do this, all the laths of the crate are in the right position. We have already mentioned that slats 20x30 mm can be used for the counter-lattice.

Step 2 Beat off the line of the first row. This is a very important point, the mistakes made are difficult to correct. Especially if you will do the corners in a professional way. We will talk about the methods of finishing internal and external corners a little lower. The line can be made with a laser level. If not, then use ordinary water. It is much easier to work with it, in addition, the possibility of error is completely eliminated.

Step 3 Cut off the protruding ends of the crate along the bottom line.

Important. When you seal the lower and upper parts of the cladding, be sure to leave air for natural ventilation of the structure.

Step 4 Place the first board exactly along the line and secure it with studs. They will have to be driven in from both sides of the block house. At the bottom into the groove, and at the top into the spike. Carnations drive in at an angle, work carefully, do not allow the spike or groove to be chipped.

Step 5 After the first row is done, continue laying in the same way. Often the length of the wall exceeds the length of the block house. How to deal with joints? There are two options.

1. Simplest. Place the joints on the same vertical line. At the ends of the board, nails can be driven into the front surface, their length should be 2 cm longer than the thickness of the boards. Later, a vertical board about 20 mm thick and 10–15 cm wide is nailed to the junction. It can be varnished or painted in a dark color. All corners of the building, platbands and slopes are finished with the same boards. Advantages: work is simplified and accelerated. There is no need to precisely adjust each joint, measure the dimensions of individual pieces of the block house. Disadvantages - it is clear that the work was done by a fake master.
2. Difficult way. Joints should not be placed on the same line, but in a checkerboard pattern. The house becomes much more attractive, but it will also take longer to work: all sections must be perfectly fitted, each piece of the block house is individually adjusted in length.

House after block house installation

Now we should talk separately about the decoration of external and internal corners. There are also two methods here. Simple - the block house is fitted end-to-end, and the corners are clogged with ordinary planed boards. Works quickly, no skill required. The disadvantage is that it is not very beautiful, and to put it mildly, the facade walls only remotely resemble natural timber. The question is, why buy an expensive block house in order to eventually spoil the appearance of the building? We will tell you how real professional builders do it.

Interior corner finishing

We immediately warn you that you will have to lose a lot of time, but the result will please you.

Step 1. Install the boards on one wall of the inner corner along the entire height. Constantly monitor their position. If in simple ways horizontal alignment is allowed due to a slight displacement of the block house at the junctions, then this option requires special accuracy in all work.

Step 2 Make a template. It is made from pieces of thin plywood, fiberboard or thick cardboard. The length of the template should be equal to the width of the block house, the width of the template should be within 10 cm. Cut a rectangle of the correct shape from a piece, put it at the end of two boards so that the line of symmetry of the template is located exactly at the junction of the boards. With a pencil on the surface, draw the profiles of the front parts of the block house. The end result should look something like the letter M.

Step 3 Turn the board over with the convex face down, place the template on the flat back side and copy the outline. Make sure that the sharp ledge is located exactly in the middle of the board.

Step 4 Carefully cut out the outline with an electric jigsaw. The front side of the block house is semicircular, it is quite difficult to keep the board stationary. You can make a special fixture with a recess along the radius of the board, if you don’t want to do this, then use various improvised materials to fix the position of the board.

Step 5 Attach the board to the place of the upcoming joint. It will not be possible to adjust the connection the first time, you will have to do it in two stages. If you cut the profile for the template correctly, then the gaps in the connection will not exceed 3–4 mm, but they should also be eliminated.

Step 6 Insert the prepared workpiece and spike, slide it all the way into the sheathed wall surface.

Step 7 With a sharpened pencil, draw a new, more precise outline. To do this, the pencil must be pressed along the entire length to the front of the profile and slowly lead it along the surface of two block houses. The tip of the pencil at this time should draw a line on the workpiece. Due to such a simple operation, it will be possible to take accurate measurements to fit the inner corner.

Step 8 Again, lay the board on a flat place, hold it steady. Using an electric surface grinder, remove excess parts from the end of the block house. Working with a grinder is easy, but noisy and dusty.

Remove the burrs from the front side with a fine sandpaper. You can take the exact dimensions of the boards along the length only after fitting the connection in the corner, do not forget about it. Practice shows that already at the 5th or 6th connection, experience appears, work goes faster. It must be remembered that for such sheathing, you should buy materials from well-known manufacturers. The thickness, radius of the bulge and the width of the boards must be the same. Unfortunately, not all woodworking companies can meet high quality requirements.

That's all, we assure you that the connection will be perfect. Of course, it will take much more time.

Important. Be sure to re-impregnate the ends of the fitted boards with antiseptics. This applies to all cuts, not just corners.

Finishing of external corners

The prerequisites for sheathing the house are the same - the perfect accuracy of the position of the rows. If for the inner corners of the plane the connection of the block house on the adjacent walls occurs along the line of symmetry of the board, then the position of the locks for the outer ones should be at the same level.

The connection is made by sawing the ends at an angle of 45°. Depending on the parameters of the facade walls, this angle may slightly increase or decrease. There is no need to measure very precisely. There may be a gap on the back at the junction, the main thing is that it should not be on the front. Further, everything is unchanged - remove the burrs and protect the ends from rot.

Corners docked at 45°

We recommend this professional method of joining in the corners to be used when decorating the interior of the house. If outside it is allowed to use multi-colored boards to close simple joints, then designers prohibit their use during interior decoration.

Block house is a cheap analogue of rounded logs, which is in no way inferior in quality and visual appeal to the original. The block house perfectly imitates the shape of a log, which gives the house a luxurious appearance, and refinement to the interior.
Block house

The material is a board, one side of which repeats the rounded shape of the log, and the other is flat. Imitation of a log looks so realistic that it is difficult to distinguish a wall from a block house from a log one.
At the same time, the block house is an environmentally friendly and safe material that keeps heat in the room for a long time, protects from noise and moisture. The block house is easy to install, process and paint.
Block house advantages:
Low cost and availability of raw materials;
Environmental friendliness - wood is harmless and does not emit toxic substances;
Aesthetic appeal of the facade and interior;
Ease of installation;
Strength, durability and wear resistance;
Ease of processing and painting;
Heat and sound insulation;
The material is suitable for cladding stone, brick, wood, block and other walls.
Advantages of a block house
How to choose a block house for exterior decoration
For outdoor decoration, choose a pine block house. Pine is an affordable raw material that is distinguished by strength and resistance to moisture. Such wood will not rot and will not crumble over time. To finish the facade, take wide boards - at least 150 mm.
The surface of the wood should be smooth and even with a minimum number of knots. This will provide a pleasant and aesthetic appearance of the facade. These include grade A block house. In addition, this category is easier to install.
Buy a block house from the manufacturer. This guarantees the quality of the product, because specialists carefully control each stage of production. At the same time, you will save a lot of money, because intermediaries wind up prices at times.
The company "Drev-Market" offers to buy a block house made of pine. We independently produce finishing materials and use condensation drying in the production.
Using a block house
Drying lumber is an important stage in the manufacture, on which the life of the lumber depends. Condensation technologies, unlike others, remove excess moisture from the surface of each type of wood evenly.
This method will preserve the natural properties of the material and extend the service life. In addition, it will significantly reduce the amount of marriage, which improves the quality and appearance of the block house.
How to fix the block house from the outside
Before installation, it is necessary to prepare the walls and material. After the purchase, the block house is left indoors for 1-2 days so that the wood “gets used”. The installation begins with the laying of a vapor barrier, after which they put the crate, insulation, wind protection and the second layer of the crate (counter-crate).
There are several ways to mount a block house. Self-tapping screws and nails are used for fixing. The most optimal option is considered in which the self-tapping screw is screwed into the base of the spike and, when installing the next board, it is completely masked with a groove.
Please note that the location of the board is of great importance - the board is placed with the spike up. This will eliminate the accumulation of moisture and dust in the groove, which will keep the material longer.
How to care for a blockhouse
Wood requires special care. With proper processing, it will last 6-7 decades. So don't skip this step. Use protective coatings, which include varnishes, paints, flame retardants and antiseptics.
First, a primer is applied to the surface, then a colorless varnish or paint. When the coating is dry, sand the surface with a grinder or sandpaper.
After sanding, apply 2-3 layers of varnish or paint of the desired color. At the same time, do not forget to renew the coating once every 6-7 years. It is better to use the same paints and varnishes so as not to remove old layers of paint.
Such protection will exclude the appearance of mold and rot, insects and scratches. The house will retain an attractive appearance for a long time!

If all the necessary points are taken into account in this process, then the result will meet all your expectations.

We install the block house

The installation of a block house is always carried out according to, regardless of the surface on which the installation is carried out, be it wood, brick or any other material.

To do this, it is necessary to attach bars with a thickness of 30 to 40 mm to the wall. It is also necessary to observe the interval between them about fifty to sixty centimeters.

Then they should be aligned in height. One of the huge advantages of this design inside the structure is the block-house sheathing, in which there is no need to later level the wall before the finishing process.

When interior decoration of a room with a block house, thermal insulation is not necessarily necessary, which usually occurs when finishing facades. In a special order, such a procedure is not required for wooden and brick structures. Such a question about the insulation of the room before you begin to install the crate. If you still decide that you need insulation, then the thickness of the bars, respectively, should be increased. And one interesting fact is that sound insulation will be improved, since there will be free air space between the wall and the casing.

The standard way to install a block house inside the building itself is horizontal execution along a vertical grid. But sometimes another method is used - vertical mounting of the board. Often this method is used in rooms with a higher humidity coefficient: baths and saunas. This fact is a prevention for the destruction of wood, which can be the cause of the accumulation of water in the grooves of the board itself.

If we turn to the example of gluing wallpaper with an overlap, then it is here that we can draw an analogue with the installation process. The installation of the spikes of the first board and the rest must be directed to the light source, which will make the joint of the boards not so noticeable. But this method can be regarded as an exception, not a consequence. The main way is still setting, with the position of the spike on top, horizontally, and on the bottom of the board - a groove.

One of the important references will be for you that in order for the material to acquire the humidity of the environment, it is necessary to hold the block house without packaging before the installation process itself in a closed room for several days.

You can start the installation itself not only from above, but also from below. Fastening with a nail or self-tapping screw at an angle into a spike is one of the most common methods. To begin with, for easier and more convenient work, installation in the best way should start from the bottom. It would also be appropriate to mention another way - the use of kleimers. And kleimers are special brackets for fastening. If in this way we fix the block house, then its cost increases accordingly, but the installation itself inside the room remains reliable, durable and of high quality.
