For example, only environmentally friendly materials are used for repairs. clean materials, which will not harm the health and life of customers. All work carried out is agreed upon with the client, and he can independently monitor the progress of all operations performed.

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 laminated or profiled timber is done by hand in several stages:

1. laying communication lines (electrical cable, pipeline, heating system, sewerage, air conditioning);
2. impregnation of wood with antiseptic agents to protect against fire, insects, mold and fungi;
3. installation of heat and waterproofing material;
4. preparing walls, floors and ceilings for application finishing;
5. installation of interior doors;
6. finishing of floors, walls and ceilings.

Without certain skills and the necessary knowledge for renovating premises, it is better to turn to professionals for help, especially if we're talking about about 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 amount material intended for these purposes.

Features of interior decoration

Finishing timber house 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 shrinkage of the timber and the reduction in its volume are to blame, during which the gaps between the logs narrow due to constant effective 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's better to have a box wooden house build from laminated veneer lumber, and then the shrinkage will last no more than 12 months. Secondary shrinkage is provoked by temperature changes and wood humidity, but it does not affect decorative facing materials.

Selection of materials for interior finishing of a log house

The choice of 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, but 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:

1. 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 choose its colors and textures. Over time, the tongue and groove board can be puttied and sanded, which allows you to update 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.
2. 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 laying the 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 (a list of them is freely available 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. They are produced without glue from natural raw materials, have excellent thermal insulation properties, are easy to install and absorb sound. 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 onto 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 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.

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 inner space houses made of glued or profiled timber.

For example, finishing with materials such as stone, granite or porcelain stoneware

Natural or fake diamond– an excellent and very effective material for home decoration. In addition to giving houses an aesthetic appearance and properties, the stone has great strength, it does not allow moisture to pass through, and does not react to temperature changes. If you decide to use stone for your exterior, this would be a great choice. Your home will be reliably protected from adverse impacts weather conditions and will serve you for many years.

The entire house can be covered with stone, or only partially. In any case, this finish goes well with wood. There is also usually a wide variety of options on sale. decorative stone. Therefore, you can easily let your imagination run wild and try yourself as a designer.

Another finishing material that looks like stone is porcelain stoneware. He also looks very elegant and noble. Porcelain stoneware perfectly withstands temperature changes and mechanical stress, and is not afraid high humidity and other natural influences. In addition, it perfectly repels dust and dirt.

The finishing is done with the most popular material – brick. Brickwork will always look beautiful and aesthetically pleasing and will suit any style of home. Well, about the beautiful ones performance characteristics This material is known to everyone. It is reliable, retains heat well and is durable. Brick, along with the insulation used, will further increase the thermal conductivity of your home. However, to achieve maximum effect, both from the point of view of thermal conductivity and aesthetics, brick finishing should be carried out by a qualified craftsman with experience. And it is also not recommended to purchase material options for this, the prices of which are low.

Finishing a house made of timber using siding in Moscow

Finishing timber houses using siding - pricing policy of this material low and easy to install. However, in the end it will look nice and neat. Siding protects the building well from the influences of nature - precipitation. There is also a huge variety on the market various options this material. Therefore, you can safely fantasize about what your turnkey cottage should look like. Let's look at the types of siding and prices.

1. Metal siding. Typically this type is used when cladding timber structures. industrial purposes than in the residential sector. The metal is strong and flexible at the same time, and also has long term services. However, the finish has disadvantages. Metal is a very heavy material, its price itself is high, and in the event of mechanical impact, dents will remain on it. In addition, steel is susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, it will need to be additionally processed with special means.
2. Vinyl siding. If you look from the outside, this finish will resemble ordinary boards. The only difference is that vinyl does not deteriorate over time. The price of this material for timber is very cheap, it is lightweight, and it is also easy to install. It is easy to wash and does not require any additional care. You can find a wide range of similar products on the market. Vinyl siding is not affected sun rays, retains its color for a long time, it is not attacked by fungi and bacteria. To remove dust, siding can be simply wiped periodically with water and detergent.
3. Cement siding. This is a very durable material, and it is also fireproof. However, cement is not popular among the population. And the reason for this is a decent amount of raw materials, which affects the ease of installation and transportation. Also, the weight of the entire house increases significantly, not to mention the foundation. And to order, cement is not the most affordable price.
4. Wood siding. It is extremely rare that finishing is used for outside. Typically wood is used inside a building. Prices for material for cladding timber are high. And its main disadvantage is its ability to absorb moisture, which negatively affects the service life of such siding.

Home finishing work using panels that imitate logs

It may seem strange that a house built from timber needs to be covered with a material that imitates it. This is true, for example, for old houses made of timber, the logs of which are no longer pleasing to the eye with their attractiveness. Wood tends to darken, absorb dirt, and become damaged. It is not always financially possible to build a new cottage on the site of an old one. The cost of finishing the outside with imitation material will be much cheaper.

But wooden panels are used only when you plan to completely repeat the contour of your building, preserving its naturalness and original appearance, and at the same time insulate it. The panels completely copy the profile of beams or profile beams. Moreover, this siding is so realistic that it is almost impossible to detect the imitation with the naked eye.

Before finishing begins, the walls are covered with specialized solutions to protect against mold, bacteria, moisture, fire and various pests.

Fachwerk - finishing a house in this style

A very original and effective choice. This medieval style is very popular in Europe. And in our country, many consumers prefer finishing in this style. Materials for affordable price Finishes include slabs of chips and cement, as well as OSB panels. To complete the finishing in the half-timbered style, you need to make the following elements:

• Frame of vertical and horizontal partitions
• Wooden braces
• The gaps are filled with various finishing material, for example, brick, stone or something else
• The wall is decoratively divided into geometric figures. Parts for this can be crossbars, braces, etc.

How to finish the inside of a wooden house?

The interior decoration of timber houses also has a wide variety of materials. Unlike the exterior decoration of a house made of timber, in this case more attention is paid not to the strength characteristics of the material, but to its decorative properties. Those. the finishing should match the future furniture and other decorative elements, and fit well into the overall style and interior of the house. You can not limit yourself to one material, but use several; it’s enough just to maintain harmony and aesthetics.

Application of decorative stone

Very good option, ordering a house made of timber, where the walls are relatively smooth. Therefore, it will not be possible to lay them out with stones special labor. In addition, the stone has many advantages:

The walls can be painted the color that you like and that suits your interior. In addition to its aesthetic function, paint can protect wood from the effects of fungi and bacteria. Before the painting process, the walls must be leveled, covering all the depressions and cracks. After this, the surface of the timber is primed so that the paint adheres better to the timber.

It is advisable to choose environmentally friendly paint. When dry, it should not release unpleasant odor. Moreover, you should pay attention to the fact that in the end the wall may have glossy surface or matte. What exactly is your choice, what you like best or what best suits the style of the room.

If you don’t want to change anything at all, but want to preserve the naturalness of natural wood, then you can emphasize it even more with the help of colorless varnish and stain.

Finishing a house made of timber, using siding or plastic and wooden lining

If your cottage is already quite old, but you still gravitate towards natural wood, then, as an option, you can use lining for finishing. However, lining is not the final finish, and this must be kept in mind. Wood is usually subject to rot, and besides, all kinds of insects and mold love it. After finishing a house made of timber with clapboards, it must be treated with specialized compounds for protection, as well as varnish.

Yes, perhaps finishing houses made of timber with clapboard is not the easiest task. However, in the end you will get a natural look natural wood, which will always delight you and your guests, and at an attractive price. Your old building will get a second life. If desired, you can successfully execute wooden clapboard and stone. It is difficult to imagine a better and more natural combination.

Therefore, this option for such a finishing price will be optimally suited for bathrooms or kitchens. In addition, the plastic is lightweight and very easy to install. Also, and very importantly, the ease of installation means that you can handle it on your own. There is no need for any special knowledge or skills. This way you can save a decent amount of money. And the prices for plastic siding are much lower than those ordered from competitors.

Decorating walls in a house using plasterboard

This material is the most popular among consumers on given time. With its help, walls are quickly leveled to perfect condition, its price is low. In addition, all sorts of things are made from plasterboard decorative elements, for example, arches, roundings, partitions, etc. There is room for the designer's imagination to run wild here. However, drywall has one unpleasant drawback - it hides part of the room. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it in small rooms.

Drywall itself is not the final finishing material. It is usually covered with wallpaper, painted or other facing material.

Interior decoration of a house made of timber (interior decoration of a timber house)

Houses made of timber are most often finished with clapboard, imitation timber or other natural materials. The peculiarities of the interior decoration of a house made of timber include that when using dry profiled timber, the inner side of the walls can not be covered with clapboard, but simply sanded and painted. Less commonly, a house made of profiled timber is finished with plasterboard, tiles, etc. This is partly due to the fact that the walls look beautiful and natural without finishing. It is also worth noting that the interior decoration of a house made of timber usually begins after the house has settled.

Interior decoration of a frame house

Manufactured houses frame technology, do not shrink. That is, if a frame house set is made of dry wood, then it will not change its size and shape at all. And to any finishing works You can start immediately after installing the roof.

If the frame of the house is made of lumber of natural moisture, then as the wood dries, the gaps in the joints may increase. In this case facade works and interior finishing of a frame house are available after natural shrinkage of the frame. (3-6 months)

Interior decoration of a house from SIP panels

Houses made from SIP panels are the same frame houses only in them as wall material a SIP panel (structural insulating panel) is used, consisting of a layer of insulation, covered on both sides with OSB sheets. As is the case with frame houses You can begin interior finishing of a house from SIP panels immediately after completion of construction work; no time for shrinkage is required.

Interior decoration of a log house

Most the best option for a log house there will be sanding and coating of walls special compounds and caulk with decorative rope. Simply put, preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of wood. But in some cases, plating is performed log house plasterboard, MDF, finishing tiles in bathrooms and other similar materials.

Finishing nuances

It is possible to begin finishing the inside of a wooden house only after painstakingly studying the topic: methods, technologies. The materials used for wall cladding are those that allow air to pass through and create good microcirculation.

If you use sealed materials, the walls of the house simply stop breathing. These rules fully apply to the insulation process and external treatment. If the structure does not allow air to pass through, then the greenhouse effect is inevitable. You can solve the problem using forced ventilation, which means that significant investments will be required, loss of time, and the need to control the quality of ventilation.

When carrying out interior decoration of a wooden house, you need to use lightweight materials that will not increase the load on the foundation.

Start of the process

Finishing is possible after the end of the active stage of shrinkage. This rule applies to a new, newly built house. If you have to process old design, then you can start immediately. It is important to consider the following:

• If the base of the house is a log and ordinary timber, then ideally the finishing starts no earlier than a year.
• If the base of the house is dry profiled or laminated timber, you can start in 1-2 months.

It is necessary to take into account climatic features, average temperature, humidity indicators. Finishing the interior of walls made of logs and ordinary timber allowed upon completion of caulking.

The work involves two stages:

• First, the caulking process is carried out several weeks after the walls are assembled.
• The second part begins at least 6 months later - after shrinkage.

To caulk walls, you need a material with heat-insulating and sealing properties. Tow and jute meet all the criteria for high quality. They are widespread due to their affordable cost, unpretentiousness, and durability. It also happens in practice that some people use moss as a material for caulking because... there were no more modern substitutes.

Work is carried out from the outside and inside at the same time, you need to start from the bottom. As soon as the crown is ready on one side, it is worth moving to the other side - this will help avoid distortion.

When the work is completed, the object will rise a few centimeters, but soon the inter-crown filler will become more dense and the original height will return. Drafts will practically not make themselves felt due to the tight fit of the timber or log; this will significantly increase the thermal insulation performance.

Caulking wooden walls - special kind activities, implying its own technologies and nuances, you can find out more about this in the article. As soon as the second caulking is completed, you need to measure the height of the walls from time to time. If the data has not changed within a couple of months, it means that the shrinkage has ended and finishing can begin.

Preparation for finishing

It is not always advisable to veneer walls from the inside. If the inter-crown insulation is invisible, and the design is neat and tidy, then the sheathing can be abandoned and replaced with cheaper, practical paints and varnishes. However, if the caulking seams are unattractive, there are surface defects, and the texture is uneven, then only finishing will correct the situation.

It is very important to protect wood from mold and mildew, regardless of the characteristics of the materials used. Manufacturers offer effective, safe, inexpensive antiseptics especially for such purposes. Additionally, you can take fire retardants, which, as the name suggests, make the texture non-flammable.

Types of finishes

Decorating a house with your own hands is not one, but several options:

• Drywall.
• Wall panels.
• Lining of different shapes.

Regardless of the specifics of the materials, it is required to install the frame on the surface. Wood has proven itself ideal. Yes, some technologies involve abandoning the frame, but the base must be perfectly flat, without chips or protrusions. Sheathing on the frame is advisable because:

• It will allow you to hide the wiring.
• Provides clearance for wall drying and air circulation.
• You don't have to make the base level.
• It is convenient to install thermal insulation materials.

It also has its own characteristics. So, there is a chance that rodents and insects will appear in the gap and additional measures will have to be taken to get rid of it. Wood paneling at home implies the presence of a small gap near the ceiling, this reduces the occurrence of shrinkage and deformation. Optimal width is 2-4 cm, this space can be easily hidden by installing a decorative plinth.

Sheathing using lining

Interior decoration of a house with wood is a great variety. Lining guarantees an abundance of shapes, widths, and special textures depending on the type of wood. You can divide the lining based on the transverse profile into the following types:

• American.
• Landhouse.
• Blockhouse.
• Standard.
• Softline, etc.

The fastenings are also different:

• Using clamps.
• Using screws and nails at an angle.
• Nails into the face. This method is not very common because it is considered not very attractive from an aesthetic point of view.

Self-tapping screws with nails and clamps are not simple; it is necessary to fasten them and prevent deformation of the lining on the front side.

Self-tapping screws or nails are often replaced with special ones construction staplers with staples. This allows the use of staples with a narrow part on the “back” side and with long legs. The fastening materials are based on special metal compounds, steel with anti-corrosion treatment.

Wood is used as the basis for the lining, which means shrinkage is also relevant. If kiln drying was carried out, the material will highest quality. However, to purchase lining that has passed chamber drying, is not so simple, which is why many homeowners who are decorating choose more available options. The following nuances need to be taken into account:

• When securing initially, you need to remember that the cladding will have to be dismantled, so it’s worth deciding on suitable tools: screws or nails.
• If you follow aesthetic considerations, you can dismantle the lining and then nail it again.
• It is possible to leave the surfaces in natural form- as it is.
• If natural drying has taken place, then gaps will appear between the finishing elements.

Features of wall panels

Wall panels - a wide variety design solutions, the ability to implement projects of any complexity. Perhaps this is one of the favorite options of designers, since it does not limit imagination. If we talk about finishing a wooden house using wall panels, then you need to correctly determine the type:

• Leather.
• Plastic.
• Glass.
• Bamboo.
• Wood.

Each option has its own specifics, for example, if you choose glass, you should be especially careful and take precautions. In addition, the glass is massive, which means it has an impact on load-bearing structure. If the wall fencing is miniature and thin, then it is better to abandon this option.

Features of drywall

Drywall is used very actively, it is inexpensive, lightweight, and beautiful. Nuances:

• Is not different great strength, resistance to mechanical stress. Ideally, it should be sheathed only 2 years after the construction of the object. Plus, the operating mode should be normal, with the heating on.
• When installing sheathing after 1-2 years from the date of construction, you need to install drywall on a floating frame. This significantly reduces the risk of movement of the trim and base relative to each other.

In problem areas, cracks should not open, which is achieved by gluing with a reinforcing mesh. It is inexpensive, its base is polymers, and with its help, seams, joints, and corners are reinforced.

If possible, it is better to use slats and bars made of wood. If taken metallic profile, then waterproofing measures are carried out: general rule states that if materials with excellent properties come into contact with each other, waterproofing is necessary.

Old wooden buildings

If you work with old wooden houses, then you need to objectively assess the condition of the object, in particular the walls, and ensure additional protection, identify suspicious areas, and further investigate them. A chisel, knife, and screwdriver will come in handy. The following are considered problem areas:

• The density of which is different.
• The texture of which is different.
• The area is darker or lighter than the rest.

Sometimes you have to deal with the fact that wood fibers crumble and become thinner. In such cases, it is better to consult a specialist to determine the extent of the damage. If no serious defects have been identified, then it is enough to treat the base with an antiseptic.

Information for customers

Types of profiled timber

Profile A- This is a classic type of profile, it has a wide groove, a compensation cut at the top and bottom (it saves the timber from cracks). The timber fits tightly to each other, and in order to prevent the house from shrinking, the crowns are fastened with wooden dowels. The joints of the beams in the corners of the house are made according to the dovetail principle, which ensures that there are no through gaps in the house.

Profile B- This type of profile, which is often called Finnish or Scandinavian, is the most popular in the construction of houses made of timber. It has a double lock (which ensures the tightest fit of the crowns among themselves), a special cut at the top and bottom (it saves the timber from cracking). Better thermal insulation jute helps (a special seal that is placed between the crowns). Also, the crowns of the house are fastened with wooden dowels (so that the timber does not move when it dries out). The beams in the corners of the house are dovetailed (so that there are no through gaps in the house). A house made of timber of this profile is very durable, warm and usually lasts for many years without repair.

Profile B- If you are choosing between a profiled beam and a log, this profile is an excellent option, as it has all the advantages of option A, plus it imitates a log on the outside. Jute is placed between the beams (the most best insulation, many times better than moss and tow). And the crowns are additionally fastened with dowels (these are wooden sticks for attaching the timber to each other). This fastening ensures even shrinkage of the house.
