Any owner of a wooden house sooner or later has to think about cladding the outside of the building. Wood is a natural material that is susceptible to rotting, which means it is best hidden under reliable and durable sheathing. Which, moreover, can serve as an additional heat and sound insulator, and will also make the house look neat and elegant. Modern construction production offers many options for cladding for wooden buildings: they all have their own pros and cons. In the article we will tell you more about them and find out what material is best to cover the outside of a wooden house.
Functions of facade cladding for a wooden house
Someone might say - why bother covering a wooden house at all, let it stand as it is. However, one can argue with this statement: external cladding A wooden house has several important functions. This is especially necessary for older log houses, where external influence environment had a noticeably strong effect.
Let's list them in order.
Firstly, a wooden house is a fire hazardous structure. The presence of cladding increases the building's resistance to fire. In addition, the home’s resistance to the effects of various microorganisms, fungus, mold, and insects also increases significantly. Thanks to the cladding, the exterior of the house becomes much more presentable.
All information about facing tiles for the facade, you can read.
Review of materials for a log house
Let us give the characteristics of the most common cladding materials that are used for wooden buildings. The review contains materials that can not only cladding, but also insulate a building.
Siding
This is the most favorite exterior cladding among home owners. We got siding not so long ago, but short time managed to leave all other types of cladding far behind in popularity. Siding can turn even an old, shabby wooden house into a completely presentable structure. In order to install this product on the facade of your house, you need to install.
There are two types of siding: metal and vinyl. The metal one is inconvenient because it heats up in the sun and gets very cold in the cold. In addition, it is susceptible to corrosion and is afraid of mechanical stress: dents and scratches easily remain on it. The vinyl version is not as durable, however, it is lighter and is not susceptible to rust. In addition, plastic siding makes the building modern and gives it a certain “European” touch. Vinyl panels do not have to be painted or treated with any solutions.
The big plus of siding is that it has many options. color scheme and different widths of the slats. Such a wealth of choice allows you to decorate the house in any color, blending it harmoniously into the surrounding space.
Siding is durable, and throughout its operation its appearance does not deteriorate. In addition, this durable material is not afraid of temperature changes: it will safely withstand both frost and heat, and thanks to its special fastenings, even in the wind.
The advantage is that the top of the siding does not need to be covered with anything: it does not require any anti-corrosion or antibacterial impregnation, or a moisture-repellent composition. Siding is also good because its installation work can be carried out in any weather, except for too much heat.
You can also read information about clinker panels for facades.
Installation of the material requires preliminary installation of the sheathing.
The price of the material is quite affordable, which makes siding one of the most attractive sidings in terms of price/quality ratio.
This cladding also has a drawback: it is low resistance to mechanical damage. But if you are sure that no one will encroach on your brand new siding: scratch it and leave dents, then this option is the most attractive today.
Planken
This is also one of the types of siding that can be used for cladding wooden buildings. Planken differs from conventional siding in that it can imitate various materials and textures: marble, brick, stone, etc.
The material is not cheap, but very beautiful and extremely presentable. It requires no maintenance, is completely environmentally friendly and safe.
Block house
This is a rather expensive material, but also the most beautiful and presentable. From the outside it appears that the house was built from round logs. Therefore, if you do not want to sheathe a wooden house plastic panels, but if you want to preserve the “spirit” and originality of a wooden structure, pay attention to the cladding from a block house. This material consists of perfectly calibrated (matched by color and size) small slats of logs. A house covered with them looks like a real fairy-tale tower. Externally, the cladding looks very aesthetically pleasing. Neat logs laid in rows look wonderful and elegant.
The advantage of a block house is that it is not afraid high temperature, so they can also be used to cover a wooden bathhouse. As a result, by decorating all the buildings on the site with the same material, you can get a unified style for the entire “estate”.
The material is very durable and strong, which increases its attractiveness to the buyer. In addition, even a novice finisher, as well as a person far from construction work, can cope with a block house and cover a house with it on their own.
Corrugated sheet
This material is also called metal profile: both names can be found in stores. The material, as an option for cladding, is in steady demand among owners of wooden (and brick) houses. The advantages of corrugated sheeting are that, at a low cost, it is very durable: it can serve for 50 years without losing its performance qualities. This material is not afraid of mechanical damage, is resistant to moisture, and can be installed very quickly, in a matter of days. 
For cladding the outside of a wooden structure, corrugated sheeting marked C is required - means “wall”. In addition, it is quite possible to sheathe a house yourself with a metal profile and without hiring a hired contractor. work force: installation is simple, as it is very different.
The disadvantages of corrugated sheeting include that it is not very presentable appearance. Therefore, for the most part, dachas, temporary buildings, and utility buildings are sheathed with this material. For solid buildings, corrugated sheeting is not chosen as external cladding, since, whatever one may say, it reduces the cost of appearance.
The disadvantages include the appearance of condensation on metal sheets, which over time can lead to destruction of the casing. Thermal insulation coating This type of sheathing cannot be called either - it will not additionally protect from frost.
Lining
Everyone knows the material, which has been used in our country for quite a long time. But if previously there was only one type of lining, now you can choose from wooden and plastic varieties.
Wooden
This material is able to preserve the environmental friendliness and naturalness of a wooden home in its original form. You should know that wood lining is excellent additional heat and soundproofing. Therefore, this option will be more suitable for the northern regions. 
Notches, knots and other defects reduce the quality of the lining and, as a result, worsen the appearance of the building.
The material is usually made from coniferous trees: larch or pine, as well as oak. After the house is covered with clapboard, it must be treated with a fire-resistant solution, then painted and varnished. Then the material will last a long time and will not lose its important characteristics.
The disadvantages of this material include the need to periodically paint it and treat it with antiseptic solutions.
Plastic
If the choice fell on plastic version, then you need to know that in this case there will be no significant thermal insulation, but the plastic does not rot, is not afraid of moisture, and is durable. And plastic lining is also very easy to clean and wash: the house will always be elegant and shining.
The technology for installing a ventilated facade made of metal cassettes is described.
Stone and facade brick
There is also this option for cladding wooden buildings. In this case, the house will look brick or stone from the outside - guess that there is a wooden “filling” hidden under the cladding. to an ordinary person impossible.
Let us note right away: this is not the most popular option for decorating the facade of a wooden house., since stone and brick significantly increase the weight on the foundation, which is undesirable. However, if the foundation is strong enough, then such cladding can make the house very warm. In addition, the walls will become many times more fire-resistant.
Immediately after construction, such cladding cannot be used: it is necessary for at least a year to pass until the house “settles” completely. When performing work, it is necessary between the stone/brick and wooden wall At home, leave a gap of 5 cm.
How to choose facing materials for house facades will tell you.
Finishing work will have a long-term effect, provided that materials for walls, floors and ceilings are selected correctly. The information provided below will introduce you to the main factors affecting quality interior decoration country house with periodic and permanent residence. The article talks about all types finishing materials: plaster, paint and varnish, roll, tile and lath; as well as about the main styles of living room decoration.
Country house living room interior
Interior decoration: where to start
Most owners country houses strive to create a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere in their home. Whether the house will delight you with coziness is largely determined by the choice of method of finishing the walls. Until a few decades ago, interior decoration consisted of plastering the walls; then the walls were painted or wallpapered. Today the construction market is filled with a variety of finishing materials, and you have every opportunity to create an original design.
When comparing finishing options, it is important not to forget about the type of walls in your home, since what they are made of determines the choice of finishing material. The interior decoration of a country house is also carried out taking into account some additional factors, which include:
Seasonality factor. If you visit your dacha in the summer or on weekends, most likely the house does not have constant heating. In this case, for finishing it is worth choosing materials that can withstand high humidity and low temperatures.
Country style living room
Style factor. For different interior styles, certain materials and colors are preferred.
Time factor. If you don’t like frequent repairs, it’s better to opt for high-quality finishes in natural shades. If you love change and start renovations every few years, think about budget materials that allow you to do it quickly (plaster, drywall, wallpaper).
Preparation factor. It is necessary to carefully calculate (and not estimate) the quantity required material. This simple rule will save you from unexpected work stoppages and additional expenses (which is very unpleasant).
Order factor. Finishing internal surfaces counts finishing work. To do this, you should wait until the installation of electrical wiring and plumbing is completed.
How often are you willing to do repairs?
Choosing materials for a house with periodic residence
The interior decoration of the dacha is carried out taking into account the type of walls, seasonality and personal preferences of the owners. If the house is used periodically, the following options will be preferable:
Brick walls. It is not prohibited to use any type of finish here. A classic way to give a brick wall a dramatic look is to use wet plaster. It must be remembered that without constant heating, condensation will form on the brick surface; in this case, choose moisture-resistant cement-based plaster.
Walls made of foam concrete blocks. Foam concrete is known high level water absorption. This feature cannot be ignored, so a primer is applied to the walls in several layers deep penetration, strengthening the porous base and reducing paint consumption. The next step will be gypsum plaster, and painting with vapor-proof paint.
Installation of sheet plasterboard on foam concrete
Aerated concrete walls. For their finishing, lining, gypsum plaster, and drywall are preferred. In areas with long winters, a layer of thermal insulation will not hurt.
Frame walls . The surface is covered with OSB (multilayer oriented strand boards). This will help increase the strength of the wall and improve heat and moisture resistance. The finishing touches on the inside of the dacha are done with paint; wallpaper can be used instead.
Walls made of profiled or laminated timber. If you want to improve sound and heat insulation, suitable Wall panels, lath materials and drywall. Natural wooden walls are usually left in their original form, covered with wax or varnish, unless the design requires a different solution. You should also be aware of shrinkage wooden structure, and do not rush into finishing until this natural process is complete.
Log walls, rounded timber. They also do not require special finishing.
Log walls are magnificent in their natural form
Wall decoration in a country house with permanent residence
If the family plans to live in country house year-round, the interior design possibilities expand significantly. In this case, the finishing is chosen based on the type of construction (wall material), purpose of the room and the allocated budget. To decorate the walls of premises, you can use materials from the following groups:
Plaster materials
Plaster can perform two functions: protective and decorative. There are two types of plaster, differing in execution technology. The first is wet (monolithic) plaster, a plastic aqueous solution of several components. The second type is dry plaster, produced in the form of gypsum boards (GCP), wall and ceiling.
Application decorative plaster
There are several advantages to using wet plaster. It allows you to qualitatively level the wall surface, correcting minor defects. Thanks to coloring, you can easily get the desired shade of the coating, which (another plus) will be very durable. The disadvantage can be considered the plastering process itself - lengthy, requiring maintenance special conditions indoors until dry. Mixtures on water based are divided into two types:
Ordinary plaster. Depending on the composition, there are cement, lime and gypsum plaster. All of them are used to level the surface, after which the selected finish is applied to the prepared base. Depending on the specifics of the design, this may be wallpaper, tile, paint or another layer of plaster, this time decorative.
Decorative plaster. Finish coating, creating the effect of a natural texture on any surface - marble, velvet or leather. Acrylic varieties are popular, intended for protective and decorative treatment in rooms with a high content of water vapor.
Types of decorative plaster
Liquid wallpaper. They are a type of decorative plaster and are used for walls and ceilings in any dry rooms. The mixture contains natural fibers (cellulose, cotton or silk), dyes High Quality, additives (quartz chips, glitter).

paints and varnishes
Paint and varnish finishing materials are the most extensive and popular group for finishing the interior of a dacha; they are usually divided into the following groups:
Water based paints. Safe for humans and the environment, they are excellent for interior work; also have other undeniable advantages: they dry quickly and are odorless.
Water-dispersion paints . The composition contains synthetic polymers, which does not prevent them from being diluted to the required consistency with ordinary water. Thanks to the wide range (as with water-based paint), they are the most popular in construction.
Water based paints are ideal for wooden walls
Oil paints. Although budget, it is not the best option for finishing. The composition includes drying oil, which means Strong smell, long drying and relative fragility: over time, the paint fades, begins to crack and peel.
EnamelspaintAnd. They are rarely used for finishing walls in the countryside due to their persistent strong smell and compositional features - high toxicity and fire hazard.
Varnish. Varnish coating valued due to its spectacular appearance and sufficient wear resistance, therefore it is often used for finishing wooden surfaces. However, the varnish is toxic and a fire hazard; When varnishing walls, care should be taken to ensure good ventilation.

Tile materials
This category includes a wide range building materials. All of them, despite differences in composition, quality and operational characteristics, are widely used for finishing. An impressive list allows you to choose an option for every taste and budget; The tile group includes:
Particle boards (chipboards). They are used as the basis for wall decoration and for making subfloors. The boards have limited moisture resistance, which is why they are used mainly in dry rooms (or are additionally protected from moisture). The slabs are mounted on the sheathing or directly on the wall if it is made of timber.
OSB boards(oriented strand). Compared to chipboard they are superior in strength and moisture resistance; They are used in flooring and as a base for any type of cladding.
Plywood. Budget material with decent sound insulation and moisture resistance, which allows it to be used for cladding kitchens and bathrooms. If you're not happy with natural look plywood (although, if used correctly, it can look very stylish), finishing includes painting or wallpapering.
OSB boards in the interior of the room
Polymer tiles. A proven material known for its strength and excellent steam and water resistance; The only limitation is that the tiles cannot withstand high temperatures.
Ceramic tile . An excellent proven material, durable, waterproof, non-flammable and aesthetically pleasing. The convenience of ceramics is that it can be used to cover any surface, from plaster to chipboard and OSB boards. You just need to choose the appropriate glue.
A natural stone. Perfect option, suitable for both floor and wall finishing (usually partial). U natural stone, be it slate, granite or marble, there is a common significant drawback - they cannot be called a budget option.
Fake diamond . A worthy replacement for its natural analogue. On construction market You can choose a material of any texture and natural color. Tiles imitating stone can have different basis- cement, acrylic, gypsum or quartz.
Combined finishing using artificial stone
Roll materials
Pasting walls with roll materials, among which the most popular are wallpaper, is considered the most in an inexpensive way interior decoration. The main thing to do before gluing is to level the walls. Despite the stunning variety of colors and textures, roll materials can be divided into several types:
Paper wallpaper. They are used for gluing walls and ceilings in all rooms, except wet ones. Thin single-layer wallpaper (the most budget option) and multi-layer non-woven wallpaper are on sale. The non-woven base thickens the material and helps hide minor surface defects.

Conclusion
The choice of materials for interior decoration should be approached carefully; this affects the service life of a country house and the frequency of repairs. To achieve a high-quality result, saving a lot of time and resources, it is better to choose materials and cladding methods that provide not only a decorative, but also a heat-saving effect. The technique of combined finishing can help with this, when different materials and textures are combined in the design of one room.
Let's talk today about what is better to sheathe country house outside - consider beautiful, warm and inexpensive solutions.
Wooden houses have traditionally been common in our country, with centuries-old traditions of construction and renovation. Today they are regaining their popularity, combining desirable comfort and designer beauty. However, with all its advantages, a wooden house is not without certain disadvantages - in the form of fire resistance and susceptibility to fungus. After construction, the shrinkage of the house can be up to 6%. During this period, especially in the case of imperfect construction, it is strongly recommended to consider additional cladding.
The main goals of cladding the outside of a country house:
- Improve home fire resistance, impact resistance chemical factors and pests.
- Insulation, protection of the house from drafts.
- Improving the appearance of the building.
To achieve a similar effect, the choice is usually made in favor of refractory materials with low hygroscopicity and thermal conductivity. When insulating, polystyrene foam is common, mineral wool, among decorative materials Siding, heat-insulating plaster, wooden lining, block house and facade brick are in demand.
External insulation of the house with polystyrene foam and mineral wool
The most common materials for exterior cladding of houses are polystyrene foam and mineral wool. The undoubted advantage of working with polystyrene foam is ease of use and the most affordable price. Although there are many more disadvantages - in terms of vapor permeability it is 10 times inferior to mineral wool. Therefore, when working with polystyrene foam, you need to properly consider the ventilation system. The wood under this material may begin to rot because it does not allow air to pass through. Such savings can lead to additional expenses several years later.
Exterior wood cladding of a house
Wooden cladding includes lining, block house, imitation timber. The materials themselves differ in appearance and cost. At the same time, they are environmentally friendly, with effective absorption of street noise, providing high thermal insulation of the room and a natural design effect.
Exterior cladding of a wooden house with siding
Siding can be made from vinyl or metal. The vinyl version is less durable, but also much lighter than its metal counterpart, and more reliably resistant to corrosion. Does not require painting - the appropriate dye is introduced at the production stage.
Siding is sold in the form of panels, which are simple and easy to install and can be easily removed if necessary. Work can be carried out in any weather conditions, with the exception of too hot seasons.
Selection of finishing materials for external cladding the house is really great. Should do suitable choice taking into account your financial capabilities, house characteristics, climatic and weather conditions. If you do not have much experience in construction and repair work, we recommend consulting with a specialist in the industry.
- Decoration of a timber house
- Facade of aerated concrete building
- Foam plastic and blockhouse
- Choosing a color for a wooden house, its renovation and lighting
During the finishing works for a house made of timber or aerated concrete with your own hands, you must use only quality materials, which can even change and decorate the design of the building. Let's look at how to sheathe the outside of a wooden house, why façade lighting is needed, how to protect it, and how better material decorate the house outside.
We cover the outside of the house ourselves
Decoration of a timber house
Exterior decoration of the house with wood
Before finishing a house from timber, you should remember that due to shrinkage of the structure, significant deformations are possible. Therefore, finishing a country house made of timber or country cottage should occur somewhere 2-3 years after completion of construction. Very often, natural materials are used for cladding houses made of timber, such as wood, stone, metal or decorative plaster.
It is possible to cover the outside of the house with clapboard. The use of such material for timber buildings is due to the following advantages:
- The lining is durable and reliable, the design with its help will serve you for quite a long time
- Simple installation allows you to do the work yourself
- Use inside the house allows you to hide communications
- Good thermal and sound insulation performance
- Eco-friendly materials not only protect the façade. With the help of lining you can decorate any home
- Repairing the damaged area is not a problem
In addition to natural elements, you can also use artificial materials. Their advantage lies in the ease of cladding with your own hands, low cost, and the ability to decorate the facade and give it any color. The durability of such cladding allows you to forget for a long time about finishing the façade of a house made of timber. In particular, for this they use:
- Siding panels
- Fiber cement boards
- Thermal panels
Siding panels are the most common and popular option for inexpensive finishing of your home. Processing of such material is not required, caring for it is very simple, and even a beginner can handle installation and repair. However, having sufficient weight, the panels should only be installed on reliable foundation and a house frame made of timber. Fiber cement boards are also good option registration The ability to choose any color only makes the slabs more in demand.
Brick can be used for the facade of a house made of timber, but during work we must not forget about shrinkage. In addition, the brick has a lot of weight, for which the foundation must have special strength. Brick has the following advantages:
- Fireproof
- Easy to use
- Aesthetic appearance - the facade design will look much more attractive than gray plaster
- Brick allows you to achieve good sound and heat insulation
In order to use brick for a wooden house, you should remember the need ventilation gaps– can be installed ventilation grates at a distance of 2-3 m from each other. In order to connect a brick and a wooden wall, you need to apply metal elements. They are attached to a wooden wall on one side and cemented on the other. Brick allows you to give the facade an aesthetic appearance and decorate old building. However, due to its cost, brick is not used so often.
Facade of aerated concrete building
Exterior decoration of the house
Not just owners wooden buildings I'm interested in what to cover the outside of the house with. What is better to use for a house made of aerated concrete? Most often, aerated concrete walls are plastered, but bricks and tiles can be used.
Important! Protection of the façade outside of a house made of aerated concrete should occur after finishing the finishing work inside. This is due to the possibility of unhindered escape of the resulting vapors through the walls.
It should be remembered that ordinary plaster it is not used here, since aerated concrete walls instantly absorb moisture. It is for aerated concrete that special mixtures are made that prevent moisture absorption. After completing the plastering processes, you can decorate the facade and give it the desired color using paint. Aerated concrete is also processed using special water repellents. Porcelain stoneware slabs can significantly speed up and simplify the DIY cladding process. The slabs are large in size, and their installation occurs not only with the help of adhesive solutions, but also on the sheathing.
Also, recently, wall decoration with metal profiles has become very popular. And if previously it was used more for industrial buildings or warehouses, now you can decorate the facade of even a country house with metal profiles. The color of the material is so varied that it becomes possible to use the most extraordinary colors for the facade. In addition, the metal profile can be fixed both vertically and horizontally. Vertical finishing the panels are in no way inferior to the horizontal position.
Foam plastic and blockhouse
We cover the house with a blockhouse
Very often, when choosing cladding, the privilege is given to the design of a blockhouse. In order to decorate a country house with a blockhouse with your own hands, you need to:
- The first step is to make calculations required quantity material. Only with the correct calculations will you be able to quickly decorate the facade with panels
- The panels should stand for several days after purchase for “acclimatization”; installation immediately after purchase is not recommended
- Clean the surface of the wooden wall for subsequent cladding. In addition, treatment with drying oil and an antibacterial mixture is needed. Primer treatment is also required.
- The lathing is made using a level; you need to adhere to a step of 50 cm
- It is enough to simply finish the surface with a blockhouse. Fastening occurs with a tongue-and-groove system and self-tapping screws
- If the walls of the house are covered with a vinyl blockhouse, then a small gap is left to compensate during expansion
Blockhouse panels are universal: color and texture allow you to bring any design to life, even inside the house. Protection of a blockhouse with panels indicates the possibility of carrying out repairs with your own hands, because if scratches appear, it is enough to sand the surface and paint over it. The panels have the only drawback, which many turn into an advantage: the material requires periodic painting. At the same time, it becomes possible to change the color of the walls of the country house.
The insulation of the house, as well as its cladding, can be done using penoplex. The main thing to remember is that this material requires subsequent plastering. Penoplex finishing is high-quality protection country house, which will cost you much less than covering it with siding panels or using a fiber cement board. Before you start insulating with penoplex, you should make sure that the walls are even and if they have significant differences, then the surface will first have to be leveled. The walls are finished with dense penoplex, the thickness of which should be at least 5 cm; the plates are attached with glue and dowels. It is important to pre-prime the surface and place the foam in a checkerboard pattern. After finishing with penoplex is completed, it is necessary to begin plastering the surface. If you have not yet decided how to cover the outside of your house, then think about the usual option: foam insulation and plastering. By the way, if in plaster mortar By adding pigment, the façade can be given a different color. It seems to me that there is simply no cheaper way to decorate the walls of a house.
Choosing a color for a wooden house, its renovation and lighting
Of course, over time, dacha wooden house is losing its original appearance, and we are starting to repair the facade. But how does it happen, and what kind of wall treatment should be done to maintain the protective properties of wood?
If you don’t know what color to choose for the future facade, then you should consider overall design and roof color. Usually in northern latitudes more warm shades, and in the south, cold motifs are popular. However, the design of your facade is purely your right and therefore you can decorate it, either blue or lilac paint. Very often, homeowners use similar colors both for design inside the house and for decorating the walls outside the home. Before you start painting, you should prepare the surface. In some cases, the facade may only require treatment with special stains and impregnations. By the way, varnish treatment will give the wood its former appearance and thereby protect it from external negative influences.
Repairs should include only high-quality materials, and sometimes even those elements with which it was built country house. If we talk about wood, then everything is clear, but clay and even manure were also often used for buildings. Repair summer cottage It may well take place without the involvement of outside people, because painting the facade, insulating the walls and treating them with various impregnations, and repairing the fence can be done independently. Design is also important interior space, it must coincide with the general style of the building. And if you built a wooden house in the country, then there is no point in using high-tech design in it.
A cozy atmosphere in a country house is the key to a comfortable pastime away from the noisy city. In building favorable conditions for relaxation Not the least important role is played by the interior decoration of the walls of a country house, which can be done different ways.
At the same time, not all owners can afford to buy expensive materials in order to tidy up their dacha, which encourages them to look for more budget solutions.
Wall design options
Construction market replete with various offers, forcing the modern consumer to rack his brains over the choice of finishing material.
Some choose on the simplest and available ways, which are suitable both for finishing an old country house and new houses, o which will be discussed below.
Painting
To implement this finishing option can be used different kinds paints(see photo), among which the most common are water-based and acrylic materials.
The advantages of this finishing method:
- painting is a very simple procedure that does not require special skills and tools;
- the painted surface can be easily repainted in a different color if necessary;
- an endless selection of colors and shades;
