The final stage of construction timber house is its finishing. Despite large number advantages, wood as a material for building houses has a number of significant disadvantages. First of all, this is the impact of harmful insects, in addition, there is a tendency to the formation of fungal mold and rotting of the material. But as you know, there are currently many in various ways, allowing you to protect your home from such negative factors. The main thing is correct and high quality finish timber house.
Finishing materials for walls in a timber house
Surely you know that before you start finishing the walls of a log house, you should wait until it settles. This will take at least a year and a half, and the process will be completed no earlier than five years later. But finishing a house made of timber can be done for more early stage. For 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 your house from negative impacts external environment. Houses made of timber have a fairly beautiful appearance and can easily do without exterior finishing walls But this will require careful impregnation with special protective compounds. There are two types of covering for a log house:
- tonic, which is designed to create a certain shade;
- protective, ensuring the smoothness of the wall.

Timber house: the most popular types of finishing
If you decide that your house requires mandatory finishing of the walls before final settlement, you should decide on the choice of finishing material.
- Plaster. Most current option is plaster. This material has the lowest price, and maximum term its service reaches 25 years. Most often, plaster is used as a preliminary layer for paint or to level walls. All plastering work is done by hand.
- Siding. Often the walls in a log house are decorated using siding. This building material, like the previous one, has a low price. If the base is, for example, plastic, then it does not rot and does not require periodic painting. This wall decoration is much easier to install than many other options. To process siding you will need a minimum number of simple tools. There are several types of siding: vinyl, metal, wood, timber and cement.
- Wall finishing with facing bricks. This finishing option 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.
- Artificial stone. Unlike natural stone, artificial – more lightweight material. You should not count on the low price of this type of finishing in the house. In addition, this process is considered quite labor-intensive. 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. The construction market has wide range this material, which allows you to find the texture you have in mind and choose any color shade, suitable specifically for your home.
- Lining as finishing for a log house. Lining is no less in demand. Externally it is regular boards with tongue-and-groove connections. In addition, to decorate your home with your own hands, you can use decorative look lining, very similar to timber. This material is called block house.
After your house has settled thoroughly, absolutely any material can be used to decorate it.

Stages of work
Exterior finishing of a timber house.
Exterior decoration wooden house needed to provide more reliable protection from external influences.
The façade of a building must perform many very important functions. These include reliable thermal insulation, sound insulation, good air exchange, as well as fire resistance. Besides, correct finishing at home, protects the log house from dampness, therefore, eliminates the appearance of fungal mold on it.
- Caulking the walls of a timber house. First of all, you need to calculate the amount required material for home decoration. To prevent gaps from appearing between the crowns, in addition to other work, you will need caulk. When building houses, it is necessary to caulk the walls at least twice. After this, the same procedure is carried out with outside 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 special insulation no more than 1 cm thick. When assembling window and doorways thickness insulation material in log houses it is necessary to increase it to 4 cm. It is better to caulk timber in houses from the bottom up.
- The process of preparing walls in a house. For finishing with artificial stone, ceramics, as well as for painting, the walls in the house must be carefully sanded. If you decide to use siding as a finishing material, you will need to install sheathing on the log houses. The next step is to treat the log houses with a layer of special impregnation, which will provide protection from fungal mold, temperature changes associated with the change of seasons, and from attacks by harmful insects.
- Insulation and cladding of a timber house. In order to insulate a wooden house, you should use mineral wool. This material is laid between the outer wall and the 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 film). In order to provide windproofing, a polyethylene film is nailed over the mineral wool.
Only after completing all of the above points can you begin decorative cladding. Keep in mind that the walls must be painted within four days of sanding. The choice of paints is large, including a wide range of universal look product. But best option– paint designed for working with wood.
The next stage after the construction and installation of communication systems in the building is the interior decoration of the house made of timber. This task is not the easiest, but the right approach You can make your work easier and avoid common beginner mistakes. The main thing is to determine the sequence installation work, choose the appropriate material and correctly lay it around the entire perimeter of the room.
Front of work inside a timber house
Interior decoration timber house begins with drawing up a working plan and a diagram for installing finishing materials in the room. Depending on various factors and the features of the house itself, the sequence of actions, the method of laying the cladding, the methods of fastening may change, but there are a number general rules which should be followed.
First of all, installation work begins with the floors. Most of the communication systems, insulation, sound insulation and similar installations take place in this place. During work, you also need to provide comfortable and convenient conditions. Having made the floor, the owners will be able to work comfortably throughout the entire room without worrying about where to put their foot so as not to twist it.
You can make a temporary covering if you have not yet installed insulation. In such a case, it is important that floor beam did not wobble or bend. You can secure it with nails in several places so that later it is convenient to dismantle the boards.
You should not attach the baseboard around the perimeter of the room if you have not yet finished laying the floors. Before the main installation work, interior doors are installed on the mills.
After wooden floor will be laid, it will be possible to treat the timber with special antiseptics, fire-resistant impregnations, and seal the joints and cracks. After the floor, the wall cladding is laid. Before attaching to the sheathing, you need to carefully measure all the dimensions of the parts so that it doesn’t work out. large cracks between the joints. At the final stage, the ceiling is installed.
If you have never done such work yourself before and want everything done quickly, then it is better to immediately turn to professionals. Of course, this is not a cheap service, but you can be sure that everything will be done correctly, in accordance with all technical standards.
If you want to do everything yourself, prepare necessary tool and corresponding quantity building material according to your room area. You need to choose the future design of the room in advance and think through all the interior details.

From the video you will learn how to properly decorate the inside of a house.
Finishing features
The interior finishing of a timber house is made using the same materials as in other buildings. The work requires a careful approach from the owners if they want to do everything themselves.
There are some features that you need to know about in advance.
The most important factor is that after building a wooden house, you must wait certain time for shrinkage to take place. The initial shrinkage of profiled timber can take place in a month. For wooden structures shrinkage is very important factor, since for stone or brick buildings the coefficient is not so critical for further finishing works from the inside.
The degree of shrinkage depends on the climate in your region, humidity level, average temperature during the season, type of wood, its thickness and many other parameters. Depending on this, the time for the process can vary significantly - from 2 months to 3 years.
Secondary shrinkage is not critical, since this will have a slight effect on the height of the floor - up to 1% of the total height.
Selection of materials
You can use quite a lot for interior decoration various materials, which differ from each other not only in cost, but also in ease of installation, appearance, thermal conductivity and other parameters.
Most often for interior decoration and cladding of a wooden house, lining is used, wall panels. This material is relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and lightweight. In addition, in specialized stores you can choose the shape, relief and even color scheme.
Natural wood is much more expensive, but correct processing and care will last longer.
Floor construction
For styling wooden covering It is necessary to make preparations and markings for the floor. Before starting installation work, you need to make sure that the subfloor is level and that heat and waterproofing do not interfere with the future flooring. All unnecessary elements are removed or hidden under wooden joists to avoid damage when attaching wooden boards.
Thermal insulation is very important stage at work. Until the installation of this element is completed, it is not advisable to secure the boards.
Laminate, parquet or planed tongue-and-groove lumber is usually used to finish the floor. Select material according to color scheme, which will harmonize well with the walls and ceiling. When purchasing, pay attention to the marking (degree of thermal conductivity), which may indicate the special purpose of the boards for heated floors.
Wall decoration
If you decide to use natural wood boards for wall decoration, then you can use a special beam cutting machine to obtain blanks. Trim inner part At home, you can not only use timber, but also choose another material that will harmonize with the floor and other elements in the room. For work, wood wall panels, lining, plaster, drywall and even paint are often used.
Typically, wall decoration is done using a special wooden sheathing, to which the facing elements will be attached. This is a special supporting frame mounted on the wall. Drywall, lining or other materials are screwed to it. Calculate the power of fastenings based on the weight of the finish.
Once you've finished laying the floor and walls, you can cut the baseboard to an angle and measure it before fixing it. It is important to do this after the walls are already ready. Otherwise extra thickness the walls will need to be cut from the blanks.
Ceiling finishing
It is advisable to stylize the ceiling as a beam, rather than attach it to its natural size. Nowadays it is very popular to decorate the ceiling with beams made of wood, polyurethane or polystyrene, especially if the home is decorated in Provence, country and loft styles. There are also natural beam floors, and not their imitation, which can be successfully used when finishing a house made of timber with your own hands. If these stylistic options are not suitable for you, and you want to hide the floor supports, but the house has not given final shrinkage, it is better to give preference to tension or plasterboard construction, which do not interfere with the shrinkage process and are not deformed during this period.
In the bathroom or kitchen, air humidity is high, and the wood of the floors needs additional protection. In the best possible way film will cope with this task suspended ceilings from PVC.
The selection of texture and color is determined by the overall design style of this room. The choice of films for ceilings is huge and allows you to harmoniously fit them into almost any interior.
Video "Appearance"
In the video you will see what the interior decoration looks like.
The interior decoration of a house made of timber is a continuation construction work for the assembly of structures, which must be completed by this stage. This is a very responsible process, because it is the mission of giving the living space comfort and coziness in accordance with the given design. In our article you will find useful information on this topic and find out where to start the upcoming renovation.
Front of work inside a timber house
Finishing the floor, walls and ceiling in a log house made of glued or profiled timber is done by hand in several stages:
- laying communication highways ( electrical cable, pipeline, heating system, sewerage, air conditioning);
- wood impregnation antiseptics for protection against fire, insects, mold and fungi;
- installation of heat and waterproofing material;
- preparing walls, floors and ceilings for application finishing;
- installation interior doors;
- finishing of floors, walls and ceilings.
Without specific skills and necessary knowledge When renovating premises, it is better to seek help from professionals, especially when it comes to communications. If you are confident in your abilities and do not want to overpay, you can safely do the work yourself. It is advisable to decide on the design and think through every detail of the interior before starting. This measure will help you have an idea of the future result and calculate required quantity material intended for these purposes.
Features of interior decoration
The finishing of a timber house is carried out with the same materials as in houses made of brick or any other building material, but despite this, there are a number of features that need to be taken into account in the process of finishing walls and other objects:
- the inevitability of primary shrinkage of houses made of profiled timber, which is more significant than in other buildings. IN in this case you may need at least two, and
- a maximum of six years of waiting before finishing can begin;
- secondary shrinkage, not exceeding 1% of the floor height, is therefore practically not noticeable.
In the first case, the culprit is the shrinkage of the timber and a decrease in its volume, during which the gaps between the logs narrow due to the constant load. When the shrinkage of a house made of profiled timber is completed, you can detect a decrease in floor height by 2 - 3 cm (in houses made of laminated timber this figure can be 1-2 cm, check with the manufacturer). Such deformation negatively affects the finish, as a result of which the plaster becomes covered with cracks and the tiles fall off the walls. To avoid a long wait, it is better to build the frame of a wooden house from laminated veneer lumber, and then the shrinkage will last no more than 12 months. Secondary shrinkage is caused by changes temperature indicators and wood moisture, but it does not affect decorative facing materials.
Selection of materials for interior finishing of a log house
Choice stylistic direction and decor depends on the personal preferences of the home owners or on the design development of specialists who approve the project with the home owners, we will introduce you to step by step process finishing and the most popular materials used for these purposes.
Floor construction
Before laying the flooring, you need to raise the level of the subfloor with a heat and waterproofing layer, which is covered with boards. This simple and uncomplicated design perfectly retains heat and absorbs outside noise. The most commonly chosen floor finishes are:
- Planed sheet piling lumber. This is an environmentally friendly board that is not afraid of moisture, and its structure allows the floor to “breathe”. It is durable, long-lasting and easy to maintain. Available for sale wide choice its colors and textures. Over time, the tongue and groove board can be puttied and sanded, which allows you to update the appearance flooring. This material is not suitable for those who plan to install underfloor heating, since here all the heat will be spent on heating the tongue and groove.
- Laminate or parquet board. In this case, there are no obstacles to installing a “warm floor”. When choosing a coating with high thermal conductivity, look for the corresponding marking on its packaging. Experts advise laying a wood floor from the inside of a wooden house.
After installation finishing material skirting boards are installed that will hide the technological opening with insulation between the wall and the floor. Before nailing the baseboard, the exposed insulation must be cut off, if any. To prevent the appearance of a sound bridge, the baseboard must be fixed either to the floor or to the wall. Otherwise, you may encounter extraneous noise, especially if you haven’t done it.
Wall decoration
We remind you once again that everything wooden elements in a house made of timber, both the outside and the inside must be treated with an antiseptic, and this rule applies primarily to walls. Now let's move on to the selection of materials that can serve as:
- Treated wood, from which the structure is erected. Indeed, if the surface of the walls has no defects, it can be left in its original form. The main thing that is required of you is to ensure that the timber is impregnated with a tinting agent to obtain the desired shade.
- Dye. Coloring besides decorative effect protects the wood structure from harmful microorganisms. We advise you to purchase paint and varnish products with a low content of harmful components (their list is in free access on the Internet).
- Plaster. Can be applied to surfaces 12 months after completion of construction. Here special attention applies to waterproofing wooden materials.
- Lining or block house. They are installed if the owners for some reason are not satisfied with the condition of the walls, because these materials are essentially imitation boards and logs, and if you have an excellent surface of profiled or laminated timber, there is no point in resorting to their help. The lining can be installed after the box has shrinked, having previously provided a frame for securing the boards. Read more about.
- Wood Wall Panels. Produced without glue from natural raw materials, they have excellent thermal insulation properties, are easy to install and cope with sound absorption. The top of the panels can be covered with vinyl or textile wallpaper;
- LGC. Putty is applied to the drywall, and then wallpaper is glued or water-based paint. In damp rooms, install moisture-resistant material. Environmentally friendly sheets are fixed to a frame made of wooden planks or metal profile. Thanks to this design, the timber does not come into contact with the drywall, which eliminates the appearance of cracks on it. In the resulting gap, you can hide wires and pipes, as well as lay insulation, which will only benefit the interior decoration of a house made of timber. Read more about.
Ceiling finishing
Nowadays it is very popular to decorate the ceiling with beams made of wood, polyurethane or polystyrene, especially if the home is decorated in Provence, country and loft styles. There are also natural beam floors, and not their imitation, which can be successfully used when finishing a house made of timber with your own hands. If these stylistic options do not suit you, and you want to hide the floor supports, and the house has not undergone final shrinkage, it is better to give preference to a tension or plasterboard structure that does not interfere with the shrinkage process and does not deform during this period.
Please note that during the shrinkage period, the force in ceiling beams is redistributed, so the plaster can be applied with your own hands only after it is finished, otherwise the finish will fall off.
We have provided you with the most popular finishing options and introduced you to suitable materials, so now you know exactly how to decorate the interior of a house made of laminated veneer lumber or profiled timber.
Having completed the construction of a house made of timber, you should not think that all the complex work finished. On the contrary, the most interesting things await you ahead! To create comfortable atmosphere you will need interior decoration of the house, which requires more detailed attention. And below you will learn how to do the interior decoration of a house made of timber with your own hands, watch training videos and photos, which will allow you to become more familiar with the process.
If you have never encountered such work before, then be prepared for the fact that this is a whole range of activities, which includes:
- laying communications (water supply, heating, electricity, sewerage);
- impregnation wooden walls fire-resistant compounds and antiseptics;
- waterproofing and thermal insulation of floors, walls and ceilings (if necessary);
- subfloor installation;
- installation of partitions and other structures;
- preparation of ceilings, walls, floors decorative cladding(leveling, installation of a frame for fixing the sheathing material);
- finishing of walls, ceilings, floors;
- installation of interior doors, lighting fixtures, switches.
It should be noted that interior decoration of a house made of timber with your own hands is a very important task. For this reason, before taking on it, draw up a design project where all the nuances will be spelled out. For example, the location of the electrical network, heating pipes, sewerage, etc.
It is necessary to clearly define all the points discussed above: from rough materials to decorative coatings - their type, quantity, color, cost, texture, etc.
Another important point that is worth knowing is that wooden buildings shrink. This process should be divided into two main stages:
- Primary shrinkage - usually continues during the first two years as a result of wood drying. During this period, the gaps between the beams decrease under the weight of the roof, cracks may form inside and outside the room different sizes. Moreover, the walls and ceiling may shrink by two to three centimeters. As a result, experts do not recommend using rigid structures (for example, plastic panels, drywall) when finishing ceilings and walls until shrinkage is completely completed.
- Secondary – associated with fluctuations in temperature and humidity of wood. Usually it is insignificant and most likely will not affect the internal facing coatings. What kind of interior decoration can a house made of timber look like in the first years after completion of construction? In this case, you should do the following:
- plastering load-bearing structures and cover them with paints and varnishes that protect the wood from rotting and mold;
- make a two-layer subfloor;
- use stretch fabric or leave the ceiling the same.
In any case, we will consider the most popular methods of decorating the floor, ceiling and walls - both for houses that have already shrunk and for those that are in the process of shrinking.
Finish and rough floor
Installation of subfloor
First of all, a subfloor in a home is made from timber. We recommend choosing a double floor structure - it will better conserve heat indoors.
What is a double subfloor? Special logs are made, and insulation with a waterproofing layer (for example, mineral wool) is laid between them. Next, all this is covered with boards, and then comes the finishing floor covering. This is the most economical, simple and effective option in terms of sound insulation and heat conservation.
As a finishing floor covering in timber houses Typically, the following materials are used:
- Planed tongue and groove board, which has a lot of advantages, of which I would like to highlight the following:
- environmentally friendly material, resistant to moisture and “breathes” (thanks to special impregnations and natural properties);
- durability and strength are another advantage of tongue and groove boards (this floor is easy and convenient to care for);
- modern variations in tinting and surface treatment allow them to harmoniously fit into almost any interior;
- If necessary, the floor covering can be updated by simply sanding the boards or scraping.
- If in role additional heating infrared or water system“warm floor”, then you can forget about floorboard. This is because most of the heat is spent on heating the sheet pile. In this case, for laying the finished floor it is usually used parquet board or laminate.
Do-it-yourself interior decoration of the walls of a timber house: video, photo
As noted above, the interior decoration of walls in such a house involves their careful preparation (insulation, puttying, vapor and moisture insulation), as well as subsequent cladding finishing coat/material.
Before finishing the walls, answer yourself the following question: “For what purposes is the built house being used?”
If it was built to hold summer holidays and weekends, you can save on insulation. Otherwise, it will be impossible to live here in winter.
Well, if on the contrary, then it is necessary to insulate the walls. If we talk about fine coating walls, then in this case a huge number of interesting solutions. But when the house is shrinking (the first two years after completion of construction), limit yourself to varnishes, paints or simple stain.
This treatment is, first of all, notable for the fact that the natural texture of the wood is preserved. The tree itself has original patterns drawn by nature itself. What's the point of hiding all this beauty? This technique is especially effective if the walls of the house are built from valuable timber.
Attention! When choosing a good paint coating We recommend giving preference to those that contain less harmful substances. Modern paint comes in semi-gloss, matte and gloss, which is also important to consider when purchasing.
In this case, if shrinkage has already occurred, the interior decoration of a house made of timber can be done with sheet materials. The most popular of them:
- plasterboard - actively used for interior works. And this is not surprising, since it allows the creation of a wide variety of architectural creations. Moreover, it has a small specific gravity, easy to process and environmentally friendly material. Its price is very reasonable, despite many useful qualities. The instructions for its installation suggest mounting it on a wooden or metal frame, which is being built on wall structures. This system is convenient because the gypsum board and the timber will not touch - this will preserve the skin and load-bearing walls from the formation of cracks. Behind such material you can hide plumbing, electrical wiring and other communications (not to mention the insulating layer).
- Isotex wall panels. As a rule, they are made from wood without glue, so they are hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. Their advantages include sound-absorbing properties, good thermal insulation characteristics And easy installation. In the role outer covering linen fabrics appear or vinyl wallpaper. IN construction stores You will definitely see a wide selection of such products, which are made in different textures and colors.
- Interior wall decoration with imitation timber - lining, siding, MDF panels, block house. Many people like Russian log huts, but they are quite expensive. For this reason, it is necessary to build from more budget material– glued or profiled timber with a rectangular cross-section.
With the help of interior decoration with imitation timber, you can give your home the missing nobility without a significant investment of time, money and effort. The application with this cladding is very difficult to distinguish from natural logs.
Among the main advantages it is worth highlighting:
- Wide range of applications - such panels can be used for both interior decoration of bathhouses and external cladding buildings. Unique properties The material makes it possible to achieve high resistance to temperature changes, moisture, ultraviolet radiation and other harmful influences.
- Environmental friendliness - a favorable microclimate is always maintained in the house. Well, if you use larch or pine panels, the air in the house will become healing.
- Simplified installation - the groove fastening system facilitates cladding and also makes decorative coating durable and monolithic.
As you may have guessed, the interior decoration of a house made of timber can be original and varied and harmoniously combine with the chosen style of decoration of the room.
If you are planning a renovation, don’t forget about the ceiling.
In this case, you need to start from whether the shrinkage occurs during finishing work or not. If not, you can implement any ideas using a variety of materials.
- Make a suspended ceiling that will cover the ceiling hole and will not be afraid of shrinkage of the house.
- Leave the ceiling as is. It’s good if the interior matches your approach. An unlined ceiling goes well with styles such as Provence or country.
Conclusion
Any interior decoration is a complex undertaking that solves several important problems. For this reason, it must be treated especially responsibly. Only in this case will the desired comfort, coziness and warmth reign in the house.
Immediately after completing the construction of a wooden house, you should temporarily forget about the interior decoration of the premises, since the building will begin to shrink for some time, this can negatively affect the finishing materials if they are used for their intended purpose before a certain time. Finishing in the interior space of a timber house should be carried out based on the characteristics of this type of construction. The interior decoration of a wooden house can be done using the same materials that are used in normal conditions. brick house. However, wood has some features that should be taken into account when finishing.
A mandatory step after building a house made of timber is its interior decoration.
There is an opinion that the shrinkage of a building is completed 2 years after the completion of construction, but this is not entirely true - shrinkage can continue for 6 years. This process entails a reduction in the height of the walls, which can reach 3 cm. If plaster was used during finishing, it may become covered with cracks, moreover, individual elements layers may come off. If you want to finish internal space houses as soon as possible after completion of construction, laminated timber should be preferred as a material, it guarantees completion of shrinkage processes a year after the start of operation of the new house.
Features of finishing the walls of a wooden house inside
In order to increase protective properties wood, it must be treated with an antiseptic.
Wood is a good finishing material; for this reason, the surface of the walls in rooms can be left unfinished if they are free of obvious flaws. However, the wood must be treated with the appropriate composition, which will help give the wall surface the necessary shade. Some owners do not adhere to this design of the premises of a log house. Regardless of which method of wall finishing you prefer, their surface will need to be coated with an antipyretic and antiseptic. If these requirements are neglected, the wood will soon become unusable.
If the finishing process is supposed to be carried out in a house that was built more than 6 years ago, any materials can be used for the work, and for new buildings it is not recommended to use finishing materials that do not tolerate deformation processes, among them, for example, tiles.
Finishing wooden houses The inside is also produced using paint, which can decorate surfaces and additionally protect them from external influences.
Surfaces in the house can simply be plastered. In this case, special attention should be paid to waterproofing. Plastering walls is not recommended in a newly built house; such processes can be carried out no earlier than a year after completion of construction.
If the walls in a log house have an unpresentable appearance, their surface can be faced with a block house or clapboard. Such materials can decorate rooms with the natural beauty of wood. This method finishing is also recommended to be used exclusively after shrinkage of the building. Initially, it is necessary to equip the frame system, on which the finishing panels will then be installed. This approach will somewhat reduce usable area premises.
The inside of a log house can be decorated in a very traditional way - with wallpaper. This type of coverage requires flat surface what can be achieved by installing plasterboard sheets. This option can be considered one of the most common and universal among the others. After installing the drywall sheets, their surface must be leveled using putty. The base of the gypsum board can be covered with paint instead of wallpaper. Drywall shows its versatility in the fact that it is even possible to lay tiles on it.
If indoor conditions are characterized by high humidity levels, plasterboard can also be used to decorate such rooms, but you should choose a moisture-resistant type of this material; its sheets can be distinguished by their greenish tint.
A log house has many important advantages over traditional buildings. Among them is the ease of installation of communications. Wires and pipes can be routed in the space between the main wall and the sheets of drywall.
If a house made of timber is finished with plasterboard, then this material can be used in tandem with insulation.
Features of finishing the ceiling of a wooden house
Finishing the house in the ceiling area can also be done using plasterboard. It is permissible to use seamless tiles, suspended ceilings or plastic panels.
Wooden beams on the ceiling emphasize its naturalness.
Drywall will provide the house with a ceiling that has multi-level design. This type of coating can be combined with wooden beams, which will emphasize the naturalness of the building. For ceiling cladding, you can use products based on chipboard, fiberboard or plastic; in the latter version, the finishing material can be polystyrene tiles.
If you want to save money, then the log house in the ceiling area can be equipped with plastic panels. Such products are quite easy to install, and choosing a specific shade from the huge palette presented in stores is quite simple. The advantage of this finish is that it is easy to maintain. The panels will fit perfectly into the kitchen or bathroom. If you need a more durable finish, you should choose upholstery sheets of plasterboard over PVC panels.
The ceiling surface can also be sheathed with wood if you are a fan of all things natural. Lining can serve as such a finish. When attaching it, you should use the same technology that is used when installing this material on walls. If a house based on timber needs to be given more high degree heat and sound insulation, then before installing the finishing material on the frame you need to install slab insulation, the size of each sheet of which must be equal to the distance between the sheathing elements or more by a few millimeters.
For finishing work in wooden house may be needed following tools and materials:
- antipyretic;
- antiseptic;
- putty;
- drywall;
- wallpaper;
- wood for sheathing;
- lining;
- wallpaper glue;
- capacity;
- brush;
- roller
Features of floor arrangement
A wooden house can be equipped with almost any floor covering, it can be laminate, ceramic tiles or, for example, parquet. If a water heating system is used, it is not recommended to combine it with parquet or solid boards, which do not tolerate temperature changes and have low thermal conductivity. The most common option for a private house is a foundation on logs. The main thing to do when arranging the floor in this case is to eliminate vibration and provide good insulation. For wooden houses it is most recommended as a flooring solid board, made on the basis of natural wood. Parquet boards, laminate and cork covering, the latter of which is modern, natural, environmentally friendly pure material, capable of providing the floor with additional insulating characteristics.
When finishing a wooden house, it has many advantages compared to buildings of a traditional type, due to the fact that walls, floors and ceilings do not need to be insulated as carefully as in the case of brick houses. Since wooden houses are much warmer.
