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

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

Variety	Brief description
	Signs of diseases and malformations of wood are not allowed; healthy knots can have a diameter of no more than 15 mm, the number of no more than 1 piece/m. n. Rotten bitches are prohibited. Cracks can only be at the ends.
	There may be up to 2 healthy knots Ø 20 mm per linear meter; there may be shallow cracks no more than 30 mm long on the front side. Wormholes no more than 3 pcs. the entire length of the board.
	Light knots are allowed without restrictions on number and size; dead knots are only those that do not fall out. There may be narrow cracks up to 50 mm long on the surface. Wood may have blue discoloration and other natural defects.

Due to the fact that assessing the quality of 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 characteristics of the lumber have a great influence on the cost.

Larch is used for finishing the most prestigious houses, and is often used when lining bathhouses. The most common lumber is made from softwood. The price, taking into account the type and quality of wood, ranges from 400–1600 rubles/m3.

There is no single standard for sizes; each manufacturer works according to its own specifications, which depend on the capabilities of its equipment. The main requirement when choosing is to buy materials from only one manufacturer.

Before starting installation, it is recommended to let the material stand for a while if you plan to sheathe internal surfaces walls, then let it lie unpacked in the house for several days. The block house for external walls must also be unpacked and stored in a dark place.

The house block is installed only horizontally; therefore, the sheathing is made vertical. Several types of hardware are used to fasten boards.

The house block can be attached either to the tenon or to the front surface. The second method is rarely used - it worsens significantly appearance, the imitation of real timber is of poor quality.

Installation of a wooden block house with insulation

The most common option for cladding 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 regulatory standards. Cladding is used both during new construction and when renovating old buildings. The relatively light weight of the structure does not require complex measures to increase the load-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, then 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 will visually increase. Calculate the area of ​​the walls; at the time of purchase, make a small reserve of up to 5–7%.

Important. Remember that the block house has two widths: general and useful. Useful width does not include tenon dimensions.

For lathing under the insulation, you need bars; the width should be the same as the thickness of the insulation.

It is better to insulate a wall using pressed or rolled material. mineral wool. The use of polystyrene foam is undesirable and is allowed only as a last resort when sheathing various extensions. 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 sheathing should be the same height. The house block is fixed to 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 house block, small finishing nails, approximately 2 cm long, are also used. Finishing nails differ from ordinary nails in having a small head and the presence of an anti-corrosion coating. There are options for making finishing nails from stainless alloys.

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

Step 2. Soak the lumber with antiseptics.

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

Use only high-quality paints or varnishes on wood for exterior use. Repainting buildings takes a very long time; a lot of time is spent on removing the old layer. It is much more profitable to immediately buy, albeit expensive, high-quality materials.

The block house should be processed three times. Prime the first time, paint the second time and after installation process the third time. A varnished 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, the overlap is at least 10 cm. You can fasten it with a stapler. Be sure to seal the seams with special or ordinary tape. Make sure there are no folds or sagging on the surface.

Practical advice. If you are not sure about the weather, then do not sheathe the entire house at once, but rather each wall in turn. 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 lathing directly under the house block. This means that the distance between the vertical posts should not exceed 60 cm; take this parameter into account when choosing insulation. Most manufacturers produce products in these sizes.

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

The first frame must be accurately aligned vertically. How is this done?

1. Check the position of the walls with a plumb line. Unscrupulous builders may overwhelm them a little; if such a problem is discovered, then the plane will have to be leveled by using pads under the slats. Or vice versa, in some places squeeze them into a cone.
2. At a distance of no more than 10 cm from the corners, secure the outer slats and check their horizontalness again. We recommend using a plumb line, level at high altitude at home may make noticeable errors. Stretch ropes between them at the top and bottom.
3. Make markings for the remaining slats. We have already mentioned that you need to take into account the size of the glass wool and the permissible distances for attaching the house block.
4. Fix the slats to the wall one at a time. First, place it against the wall, if necessary, reduce the thickness. Next you should proceed depending on the wall, everything is fine - fix it, if there are problems - level the slats with pads. Using this algorithm, assemble the entire sheathing under the insulation.

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

Step 5. Replace the glass wool. It must fit tightly between the sheathing slats; 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 consequence - wooden structures 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 increase the thermal conductivity significantly.

To fasten glass wool, you need to use special pressure cuffs (rondoles). They have a wide polyethylene cuff and a self-tapping screw.

There are recommendations to cover the front surface with wind protection. Although none of the real professionals can say why to do this and what positive effect it will work out in the end. The insulation is perfectly protected from wind and rain by cladding the block house. But if you want, buy wind protection and staple it to the slats.

At this point, the insulation work is completed; begin cladding the external walls of the house. Do not put off further work for too long; if rain is expected, cover the surfaces securely with plastic wrap.

Prices for different types of bars

Block house wall cladding

Step 1. Install counter battens on the first main batten. It’s not difficult to do this now, all the sheathing slats are in in the right position. We have already mentioned that 20x30 mm slats can be used for the counter-lattice.

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

Step 3. Along the bottom line, cut off the protruding ends of the sheathing.

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

Step 4. Place the first board exactly along the line and secure it with nails. They will have to be driven in on both sides of the house block. The bottom is in a groove, and the top is a tenon. Drive the nails in at an angle, work carefully, do not allow the tenon or groove to chip.

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 house block. How to deal with joints? There are two options.

1. The simplest one. 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 greater than the thickness of the boards. Subsequently, a vertical board approximately 20 mm thick and 10–15 cm wide is nailed to the joint. 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 or measure the dimensions of individual pieces of the block house. Disadvantages - it is clear that the work was not done by a real master.
2. The hard way. The joints should not be placed on the same line, but in a checkerboard pattern. The house becomes much more attractive, but you will have to work longer: all the cuts must be perfectly adjusted, each piece of the house block is individually adjusted in length.

House after installation of a block house

Now we should talk separately about the finishing of external and internal corners. There are also two methods here. Simple - the block house is fitted end-to-end, and the corners are filled with ordinary planed boards. It works quickly, no skill required. The disadvantage is that it is not very beautiful, and to put it mildly, the facade walls only vaguely resemble natural timber. The question is, why buy an expensive block house only to end up ruining the appearance of the building? We will tell you what real professional builders do.

Finishing internal corners

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 It is possible to level the horizontal position due to a slight displacement of the block house at the connection points, but this option requires special precision in the execution of 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 is within 10 cm. Cut a rectangle of the correct shape from a piece, place 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. Using a pencil, draw the profiles of the front parts of the block house on the surface. The end result should be something similar to the letter M.

Step 3. Turn the board over so the convex front side is facing down, place the template against the flat back side and copy the outline. Make sure that the sharp protrusion is located exactly in the middle of the board.

Step 4. Using an electric jigsaw, carefully cut out the outline. The front side of the block house is semicircular, making it quite difficult to hold the board motionless. You can make a special device with a recess along the radius of the board; if you don’t want to do this, then use various materials at hand to fix the position of the board.

Step 5. Place the board at the location of the upcoming joint. It will not be possible to adjust the connection the first time; you will have to do this 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 tenon, move it until it stops against the sheathed surface of the wall.

Step 7 Using a sharp pencil, draw a new, more precise outline. To do this, the pencil must be pressed along its entire length to the front part of the profile and slowly moved along the surface of the two block houses. The point of the pencil at this time should draw a line on the workpiece. Thanks to such a simple operation, it will be possible to take exact measurements to adjust the internal corner.

Step 8 Place the board on a level place again and hold it steady. Using an electric surface grinder, remove excess parts from the end of the block house. It is not difficult to operate the grinder, but it is noisy and dusty.

Using fine sandpaper, remove any hangnails from the front side. You can take the exact dimensions of the boards along the length only after adjusting the joint in the corner, do not forget about this. Practice shows that already at the 5th–6th connection, experience appears, and work goes faster. You need to remember that you need to buy materials for such cladding. famous manufacturers. The thickness, radius of the convexity and width of the boards should 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 cutting cases, not just corners.

Finishing external corners

The preliminary requirements for cladding the house are the same - ideal accuracy of the position of the rows. If for the internal corners of the plane the connection of the house block on the adjacent walls occurs along the line of symmetry of the board, then the position of the locks for the external 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 façade walls, this angle may slightly increase or decrease. There is no need to measure very precisely. There may be a gap on the back side at the junction, the main thing is that it is not on the front side. Then everything remains unchanged - remove burrs and protect the ends from rot.

The corners are joined at 45°

We recommend that this professional method of joining corners be used when finishing the interior of the house. If the use of multi-colored boards for closing simple joints is allowed outside, then designers prohibit their use during interior decoration.

Internal block house decoration is becoming more and more common when arranging a room. This finishing option will set you apart from many.
But before starting work, you should familiarize yourself with this material more closely and understand how suitable it is for you. After this, you need to choose the right type of wood and only then make a purchase.
This article will tell you which block house for interior decoration choose and how to carry out the work correctly. Before purchasing, you should watch how the interior decoration of a block house is done video and decide on a design solution.

The interior decoration of a block house has a number of its advantages, but there are also disadvantages that are also worth familiarizing yourself with before making a final decision on finishing.
So:

• The interior finishing of a block house is completely safe for human health, the material is made entirely from natural product, which will not harm your health;
• During installation, you will also provide high-quality heat and sound insulation. And this is important. Moreover, the materials for this will only complement the design;
• The installation is not that complicated, and you can easily do it yourself. To do this, you don’t need a special tool, but only a set that is available in almost any household;
• Not large number debris during work, it is much less than with other types of cladding;
• Finishing indoor unit house music is performed quite quickly and does not take much time;
• This finishing option helps create a microclimate in the room. There is ventilation under the panels, which ensures this process as correctly as possible;
• The price of the material is not that high, almost anyone can afford it;
• Cladding can be done on any surface, and you will not be particularly interested in the curvature of the walls and the previous coating.

This material also has its disadvantages, which you should know before purchasing:

• You will have to constantly monitor the finishing of the house, and this takes time;
• There are gaps between the panels that will allow dust to accumulate;
• Perhaps the most significant drawback is the usable area, which is reduced. And this cannot be avoided.

Attention: When purchasing material, you should also consider the method of use of the room.
Coniferous wood can also be used for residential premises. But you shouldn’t use them for finishing a sauna.

Paneling

After viewing photos on this topic and choosing the type of wood, you can make a purchase and start doing the work, which is done according to certain rules and requires compliance with technology. The appearance and durability of the structure will depend on this.

Surface preparation

For proper fastening, we need to properly prepare the surface:

• First you need to remove everything from the walls. After this, take a metal brush and remove all the previous coating;
• Now we look at what has peeled off from the old plaster.
  If there are deep cracks, they should also be gouged to a width of one cm. To do this, use a chisel and a hammer;
• Now we need to treat the surface with antiseptics, which are commercially available. Give preference to deep penetration liquid. To do this, use a brush or spray gun;

Attention: Be sure to apply antiseptic. Even if there is no fungus on the walls, this must be done.
If it appears after installation, problems may arise. Access to the surface will be limited.
Therefore, do this even for the sake of prevention.

• After processing, it is necessary to apply a layer of primer to the surface, which will strengthen the surface. To do this, use a brush or spray.

Installation of sheathing

This is a rather important stage of work. The entire structure is attached to the frame and the slightest deviation will immediately be reflected on the surface.
The geometric shape may also be disrupted. Therefore, take this work seriously.

Attention: Two frame materials are used for installation. This is wood and a metal corner.
If you choose the first option, then you should treat the timber with antiseptics, which are commercially available. This will significantly extend the service life of the entire structure.

So:

• First you need to make the markings correctly. After all, if the fastening is not done well, then the correctness of the geometric shape of the structure will be disrupted.
  First you need to make a strap around the perimeter of the plane and correctly outline the installation. The best way to do this is to use a hydraulic level.
  We mark the beginning of fastening the panels and then use a hydraulic level to transfer the size to another part of the wall;
• After this, we connect the marks using nylon thread. We just beat off the installation line;

Attention: When choosing the mounting height of the planks, you should also take into account the height of the insulation, which should not be deformed by the cladding.
Otherwise, it loses its properties. So provide a gap of a couple of cm. And that will be enough.

• Now we cut the slats to the required size. To do this we use a saw.
  Just remember that the fastening cannot be done tightly to the wall. It is necessary to provide a gap of one cm.
  This will help avoid troubles during the expansion of the material;
• We cut the beam and fasten it. For a wooden surface, it is enough to use self-tapping screws. For a wall made of concrete or brick, you should first make a hole using a hammer drill and make the connection using dowels;

Attention: Do not use dowels from kits. We need strong and reliable connection which they will not provide.
Buy plastic and self-tapping screws separately, which take a couple of mm more from the cross-section of the pacifier hole. This will ensure the required quality of fasteners.

• We tie the entire plane around the perimeter of the room in exactly the same way;
• Now we need to secure the cross profile or beam. To do this, you should apply a step from the calculation of the panels, but not less than 50 cm.
  It should also be noted that the connection of panels cannot be done by weight. It should be performed on a frame.
  Using this, we determine the fastening distance and draw the installation lines for the slats;
• While working, use a plumb line. With its help, the work can be done efficiently and the perpendicular to the floor can be correctly determined. We draw lines;
• To ensure correct height installation, you should use a fishing line that is stretched along the diagonals of the plane. Height adjustment is made using wooden spacers;
• We make the fastening as described above;
• After installing the sheathing, a layer of waterproofing should be applied. Various films are used for this.
  They can be fixed before applying the sheathing, but this is suitable for a plane made of wood.
  At concrete surface after attaching the frame, cut the film to size so that it overlaps the slats and then secure the material using a construction stapler;
• After installing the frame, you can install the insulation. The sheets should be laid tightly, but not deformed.

Installation of wiring

The finishing inside the block house is carried out after installing the wiring for sockets and lamps:

• First, find the connection point. Here you will need to secure the junction box.
  It must be freely accessible. This will be required during repair work;
• We fasten the box and then mark the installation of sockets. We make a cable connection there;

Attention: To make connections in the wiring, use only terminal blocks. They will provide a reliable and high-quality connection.
Do not use twists. This is not only poor quality, but also unsafe.

• We fasten the wire to the place where the socket is installed and cut it off. At the same time, do not forget to release the cable so that it is enough for free connection;
• During fastening, proceed as follows. First we attach the panel and then mark the location of the socket.
  Remove the panel and place it on flat surface. After this, we make a hole using a drill and a crown.
  Just don’t forget to match the crown to the diameter of the socket mounting.

Installation of block house panels

The material should be brought to the installation site a couple of days in advance, it should get used to the room temperature and gain the required humidity.
So:

• We begin finishing with wood by installing the first panel, which is attached only with the tenon facing up. You can start fastening from the top or bottom.
  It depends on your desire, you just need to leave five mm gaps at the top and bottom, this will ensure sufficient ventilation.

There are several options for fastening:

• Nails are the most economical, but also the least durable fastening. Over time it simply becomes loose;
• The most common option is galvanized self-tapping screws;
• There is also a special fastening for block houses, which is made in the form of brackets;
• Claimers are also used.

Attention: When fastening with nails and screws, never hammer or screw them into the surface. First, make a hole using a drill, only the diameter should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the fastening element.
After this, make a lowering in the surface. This will be needed to hide the cap. And only after that should you make a connection.

• Also, do not make a very tight connection between the panels themselves. You need to leave a couple of mm. This is also due to the expansion of the material due to temperature changes;

You will have to join the corners.
This work is done in two ways:

• In the first option, you should make a cut at an angle of 45 * and then you can do the joining without additional materials. Just keep the angle correctly;
• In the second option, you simply attach the corners to the joint and, after completely installing the panels, install the facing corner and hide this joint;
• After the panels are completely installed, the corners are lined. For this purpose, a decorative corner is used, which will hide the joint and possible fastening defects.

This is how the installation of a block house is done. You can look at the photo and get to work.
There are instructions, now all that remains is to make the final decision.

A used block house (having the shape of a rounded log) is relatively inexpensive compared to a log house and is a rather popular natural material; moreover, its use in conjunction with various insulation materials guarantees a modern and durable finish for the house.

Cladding the outside of a house with a block house contains a similar technology for insulating the facade of a bathhouse, cottage or cottage and cladding it with wooden, venyl or metal siding. Facade finishing block house is a valuable investment in protecting the house: increasing the atmospheric stability, strength, reliability of the structure, plus additional heat and sound insulation!

Why is it worth finishing a house with a block house?

Block house is an environmentally friendly product, resistant to mechanical damage and not subject to deformation due to temperature fluctuations. Treatment with special antiseptic impregnations and the application of protective paints and varnishes ensure the preservation of the texture and natural beauty of the wood. Thanks to this coating, the finish becomes moisture resistant without being subject to rotting processes for many years.

Block house facade cladding is also famous for its good thermal insulation properties: the air layers contained in the fibrous structure of the material provide minimal thermal conductivity, which is why the house is warm and cozy in winter, and pleasantly cool in summer.

Calling our specialist will help you make an accurate calculation and selection necessary materials according to the required dimensions, determine the volume of work, solve technical nuances.

Technology of facing a house, cottage, bathhouse with a block house

Facing the façade with a block house is carried out on the sheathing pre-installed on the outside after the stage preparatory work. During the preparation process, craftsmen clean and level the surfaces, create a sheathing structure, and lay an insulating layer with a vapor/wind barrier.

Installation of the counter-lattice will provide a ventilation layer between the insulation and the cladding of the block house. The tongue/groove locking configuration allows the panels to be tightly mated when facing walls, preventing moisture from entering.

Block house can be an excellent competitor to eurolining. Wooden panels are produced using the latest developments and technologies, and the use of a blockhouse for interior decoration helps to reproduce a unique atmosphere of comfort and homeliness. The smell of freshly planed wood has the most beneficial effect on the well-being of all household members.

According to its characteristics, the block house is more reminiscent of eurolining. The individual parts of the coating are joined using a tongue and groove. There are special ventilation grooves on the flat surface of the board; the outer side looks like a calibrated log.

Block house is considered a natural finishing material, and accordingly has certain quality characteristics:

• environmental friendliness - absolutely non-toxic finishing material. During manufacturing, the wood undergoes only a natural drying process, the surface is not treated chemicals, capable of harming a person;
• thermal insulation - wooden panels are an excellent insulator, capable of maintaining a comfortable temperature in the room;
• sound insulation - walls decorated with a blockhouse do not allow outside sounds from the street to penetrate into the house, creating good sound and sound insulation;
• ease of assembly - the well-thought-out design of the panels does not cause any difficulties during the installation process;
• light weight - the lightness of the entire structure allows the material to be used for interior decoration of the walls of loggias and balconies;
• visual appeal - decorators actively use the aesthetic appearance of the finishing material to create unique interiors in the popular rustic style;
• combination - a wide variety of finishing materials can be organically combined with a blockhouse.

Among the existing shortcomings are:

• fire hazard - in order to reduce the increased flammability of the material, it is necessary to treat finished surfaces with a special composition;
• possibility of deformation - careless actions during wall installation can leave serious dents and defects on the finishing material;
• poor vapor permeability - during operation, mold and mildew may form under the panels. To avoid negative consequences, it is necessary to arrange good ventilation and regularly ventilate the room.

Types of block houses for interior decoration

Before you start choosing panels for decorating walls in a residential or utility room, you should pay attention to their size, type and grade. The house block for interior decoration is smaller in size, its width is about 9 cm. The small size of the panels helps to visually expand the boundaries of the rooms. If you use larger wooden panels to decorate the walls, you can achieve the opposite effect: the room will turn out small and uncomfortable.

Separation of material by grade:

• elite material - smooth and even panels do not have any visible scratches, chips or defects. Premium class material is used for wall decoration in luxury country cottages;
• grade A - high-quality finishing material is chosen for interior decoration of residential rooms and commercial buildings;
• grade B - there are various irregularities and knots on the surface of the wooden panels. Most often, the economy option is chosen for arranging steam rooms and baths;
• grade C - a less presentable type of wood used for finishing storage rooms or outbuildings.

Block house varieties

On sale you can also find intermediate options AB or BC. Before purchasing finishing material, you should make sure that the wood was stored in conditions that meet all standards. Otherwise, the finish may crack or warp after installation.

How to choose the right one

Deciduous and coniferous trees are used to produce natural finishing materials. Pine has a large number of knots that create a unique pattern, spruce gives the finishing material an excellent texture, and cedar is able to maintain an excellent microclimate in a living space.

Before choosing one or another type of decoration, you should determine whether decoration will be carried out in residential or auxiliary premises. If you are going to decorate a block house inside the house, you can choose a variety of finishing panels.

It is not recommended to use coniferous species for the interior arrangement of a bathhouse or dressing room; it is better to give preference to wooden panels made from alder, linden or aspen.

Coniferous wood releases resin when exposed to temperature; in addition, it has a high heat capacity. The covering may become hot and cause discomfort. Linden, on the contrary, reduces the likelihood of negative impacts.

Interesting use cases

When decorating the interior of a block house, various design solutions can be used. The photo shows the most original options decoration.

Wall decoration can be:

• complete - the ceiling and all walls in the room are sewn up with a house block;
• combined - in this case, one or more walls of the room are decorated with finishing material.

Combined
Full

The block house can be organically combined with other decorative elements, for example, lining, wallpaper or textured plaster. Natural material goes well with stone or glass, as well as with forged decorative elements. The use of wooden panels for wall decoration allows decorators to bring to life the most original ideas and unusual solutions. Vivid examples of decoration can be seen in the photo.

With the help of wooden panels, decorators recreate the interior decor of a merchant's farmstead or a simple peasant house. If desired, you can create in your living space the atmosphere of a hunting lodge or the cozy design of an Alpine chalet.

Natural wall decoration environmentally friendly material held in the living room, bedroom or children's room. Examples of decorating living rooms can be seen in the photo gallery. Wooden panels are often used to decorate auxiliary buildings. These include baths and saunas. The photo selection contains options for decorating the walls of the steam room and dressing room.

Decorators choose block house panels to create beautiful landscape design. The building material is used to decorate fences, gazebos or open terraces.

Block house interior finishing technology

Installation building material indoors, carried out along the lathing; for arrangement there is no need to pre-prepare the surfaces or level the walls. The sheathing consists of a assembled set of planed wooden bars or slats; they are attached to the wall with a calculated step. To create a structure, you need a 5x5 cm block or a lath up to 7 cm wide. The bars cut to size are installed at a distance of 50-70 cm in a level or plumb line.

Installation of sheathing and laying insulation
