When frame house completely assembled, sheathed on the outside and equipped with all necessary communications, all that remains is to complete the interior finishing of the building in order to obtain the finished look of the house. But at this stage, developers are often lost and don’t know how to cover the inside of a frame house. After all, the diversity of modern building materials often drives the master into a stupor. In our material we will understand what types of material are suitable for rough cladding frame house from the inside, what materials are used for finishing and what are the general principles of execution finishing works.
Requirements for interior finishing
Before deciding on the material for the cladding interior spaces frame house, let us understand that both rough and finishing finishing of rooms is carried out only after the final wiring of electrical communications and water supply. Otherwise, all work will be nullified. By rough finishing of a frame house we mean covering the frame of the walls with a material suitable for the subsequent unhindered application of decorative cladding. Finishing is the final decorative design walls in accordance with the chosen interior design of the cottage. And in order for the work to proceed without a hitch, you should adhere to the basic rules:
- Covering the walls with rough material is done from the back room of the house, moving towards the exit. In this case, installation is carried out from the ceiling, along the walls and then to the floor. Finishing is carried out in the same order in order to be able to close the already decorated room and prevent construction dust onto the surface of finished walls and ceilings.
- It is better to cover window blocks and other parts of the premises not involved in finishing with a protective film.
- Before carrying out work it is necessary to calculate exact quantity wall material to avoid downtime later. In addition, it is recommended to buy materials with a 10% reserve in case of cutting, etc. There is a principle here - the more complex the wall cladding is (complexity of the configuration), the more you can increase the percentage of the reserve.
Materials for rough cladding
To initially prepare the walls of a frame house for finishing, it is necessary to sheathe the frame of the walls with even panels. They will become the subsequent springboard for the manifestation of the creative potential of the owners. Most often, plasterboard, OSB or lining boards are used for these purposes.
Drywall is a slab made from a gypsum mixture with the addition of fibers. The result is a durable panel with a small thickness of 1-1.5 cm. Such panels are very convenient to use, although they have a relatively large weight for each slab. Drywall is very easy to work with. The material can be cut without problems and does not crumble. And if necessary, you can even bend the panels, creating sloping corners or wall turns in the house. There are three types of drywall:
- Moisture resistant (GKLV). Designed for covering rooms with high humidity such as the bath or kitchen. If you neglect this purpose of the panels and use ordinary plasterboard slabs, the finishing of such rooms will fade over time.
- Fireproof (GKLO). Designed for cladding fireplace portals and other objects in the house exposed to direct fire.
- Standard drywall. Designed for wall cladding living rooms frame house.
- Acoustic drywall. Acts as a sound insulator in the house. Can also be used as a rough finish for room walls.
- Gypsum fiber sheet. This panel is characterized by increased wear resistance and strength. Wall finishing with plasterboard is the most commonly used.
OSB boards
Or oriented strand board. This panel is made from wood chips and fibers glued into a board using resins and adhesives. The result is a strong and impact-resistant material that can withstand high mechanical and load-bearing loads. OSB boards are classified as follows:
- OSB-1. The panels are suitable for use in standard humidity conditions or in furniture production.
- OSB-2. Such slabs are used as a basis for finishing indoors under standard humidity conditions.
- OSB-3. The panels are suitable for use in rooms with increased level humidity.
- OSB-4. A material suitable for external cladding of premises as a base for subsequent façade finishing.
- There is also varnished OSB board, laminated and tongue-and-groove. The latter has special grooves and ridges for easier assembly of the skin into a single structure.
Important: OSB-3 and OSB-4 boards can also be used as a base for the floor. Their strength can withstand significant mechanical loads.
When installing OSB boards, it is necessary to take into account the following points and subtleties of the work:
- It is necessary to fasten OSB panels to the frame only using spiral nails, the length of which is 5 cm;
- The spacing of nails along the frame should be 15 cm;
- Between the OSB panels and against the wall, it is necessary to leave technical gaps of 1-2 cm for the linear expansion of the slabs under the influence of temperature changes;
- If the slabs are mounted on the floor, then they should be laid perpendicular to the joists;
- On the walls, panels after installation can be additionally treated with fine-grained emery and varnished in several layers;
- If the panels were installed with paint or plaster, they must first be primed.
Lining
This type of wood cladding can be used simultaneously as both rough and finishing cladding for the interior walls of a frame house. If the owners want to decorate the interior of the house in a colorful natural style, then it is appropriate to use lining, which can simply be placed on the mounted frame on top of the insulation. That is, when covering the frame, we immediately get a clean finish of the premises.
Lining is a thin, long wooden panel that has a groove and a tongue for easier assembly of the covering into a single sheet. As a rule, lining is made from coniferous wood such as spruce, pine, larch. More expensive types of lining can be made from cedar, teak and more valuable wood species. The final finishing of this type of cladding involves coating the wood with varnish.
The advantages of such cladding of the walls of a frame house are as follows:
- There is no need to perform wet work in the house;
- The finished cladding is breathable, which ensures optimal air exchange in the house;
- The colorful and attractive material creates a cozy atmosphere in the premises;
- With proper care, wood can last for 30 years or more.
Important: for beautiful cladding of the premises of a frame house, it is better to use “Extra” or “A” class lining. Such lamellas are free of visible wood defects. If, however, only auxiliary premises, such as a balcony or vestibule, are intended to be clad with clapboard, then you can save money and purchase class “B” or even “AB” clapboard. Here, resin pockets, traces of knots, etc. are allowed on the lamellas.
Finishing materials
If you are selecting finishing cladding material, then everything is as simple as possible. In accordance with the intended design, the coatings presented below can be applied to smooth walls made of plasterboard or OSB boards.
Wallpaper
The most familiar finishing material. And if used to be wallpaper While only paper rolls of material were called, today the market is filled with their variety for every taste and color. So, wallpapers are:
- Standard paper. Environmentally friendly material that allows walls to breathe. At the same time, he is afraid of water, mechanical influences and sunlight.
- Vinyl coverings. Wallpaper is characterized by increased resistance to moisture and mechanical stress. With modern production technologies, vinyl wallpapers also provide breathing space to the walls in the house.
- Acrylic wallpaper. They are resistant to moisture and mechanics, but are not recommended for covering a child’s room or bedroom.
- Non-woven fabrics. Due to their foamed structure, such coatings are often used instead of plaster for painting.
- Fiberglass coatings. They are also used for painting and are characterized by increased durability.
Plastering walls
An acceptable option for finishing the interior of a frame house. Especially when you consider that decorative paint can be repeatedly applied to the plaster, which will allow you to change the interior of the rooms.
The only disadvantage of plastering walls is the lengthy process of “wet” finishing work. That is, the final decoration of the premises can take 1-2 months, provided such finishing is done in all rooms of the cottage.
Ceramic tiles
This material is ideal for the kitchen, bathroom and area adjacent to the fireplace. In addition, tiles (porcelain stoneware) can be successfully laid on the floor. The strength of the material is beyond doubt. A wide range of colors and design solutions allow you to implement the most bold ideas. The tiles are mounted both on a plasterboard base with special glue, and on OSB panels.
Plastic lining
Another finishing option for “wet” rooms. This cladding looks good in the kitchen and bathroom. The material is easy to install and maintain. And with a wide variety of panel colors, you can create a bright or unusual design indoors.
PVC lining is attached in the same way as wooden one. Moreover, such cladding will act as additional thermal insulation of the walls due to its cellular structure.
Important: if you do not know how to sheathe the interior of a house correctly with the chosen material, then it is better to invite professionals to do the work. Specialists use the material wisely, ensuring the durability of the interior decoration of the frame house.
When carrying out interior decoration of a frame house, it is worth considering several important points: correct sequence stages, preparatory work, features of materials and rules for their installation.
After the walls and roof have been erected, it is time to decorate the interior of the frame house. In order not to make mistakes in the process of repair and finishing work, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with their features in the field frame construction.
Stages of interior finishing
To ensure high comfort of living in a house, it is necessary to pay attention to each of the three stages of interior decoration of a frame house.
Aligning Posts and Beams
To make subsequent finishing stages easier, you need to prepare the premises. Assuming high-quality construction, all racks and beams in the room must be level. You can check this using a building level.
If the floor is laid poorly, it is leveled using wooden wedges driven into the places where the beams are attached.
Insulation and sound insulation
The process of insulating the floor of a frame house
Recently, these two concepts are increasingly used as one whole, since modern materials have both noise and thermal insulation properties. Popular are mineral wool, polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, foam rubber, expanded clay (for flooring).
If your house is located on open area, it is recommended to lay a layer of wind protection before laying the insulation - this way you will ensure more high temperature in the house in winter.
Usually they start from the floor. A subfloor is laid on horizontal beams, the surface of which, in turn, is covered with the selected material. Another layer of floor is laid on top, usually these are boards with an aesthetic appearance with special impregnation or treatment (if you do not plan to finish the floor), or ordinary boards.
The walls and ceilings are insulated in the same way; insulation sheets are laid between the beams and then covered with rough finishing material.
To insulate the ceiling, you can purchase polystyrene foam; its weight is much lighter, so for ease of fastening you can use a hot glue gun.
In a bathroom, toilet, boiler room, bathhouse or sauna, it is imperative to install a vapor barrier.
Rough finish
How to properly fix drywall
For rough interior finishing frame houses Drywall boards are most often used for wallpaper, plaster, tiles or painting. It's economical quality material, which will create a perfectly flat surface for finishing.
At this stage, you need to cover the walls and ceiling with plasterboard slabs, as well as erect the planned plasterboard structures (partitions, niches, arches).
It is recommended to fasten sheets of drywall according to the pitch of the frame: each sheet should begin on the frame and end on it. The sheets are attached to self-tapping screws using a screwdriver at a distance of 20-30cm from each other. You need to leave a gap of 2-3 centimeters to the floor (then it will be covered with a plinth).
Before moving on to the next stage, the joints must be puttied in 2 layers (after each layer has dried, it must be leveled with sandpaper), and the walls must be plastered.
In rooms with high humidity, you need to use a special one for rough finishing of walls and ceilings. moisture resistant drywall.
There is another option for rough finishing of a frame house - OSB boards. Their characteristics are similar to drywall, but have a more environmentally friendly composition. However, they are quite heavy, so you should not choose this option if you do not have the skills to work with it.
Finishing
The final stage of finishing involves laying finishing materials, either gluing wallpaper, laying tiles or painting the walls. Let's take a closer look at the types of possible materials for the interior finishing of a frame house.
Types of wall materials
Wallpaper has been the most popular finishing material for several decades. They are inexpensive, and even an untrained person can glue them on - the main thing is to follow the instructions.
Wallpaper
Types of wallpaper and their characteristics:
- Paper is the most economical type of wallpaper, ideal for budget or temporary repairs. Their main drawback is instability to moisture and drafts.
- It is recommended to glue photo wallpapers into rooms without windows or small rooms to create the illusion of a larger space or give the interior a more original look. The characteristics are similar to paper counterparts.
- Vinyl wallpaper more durable and strong than paper ones, but their price is higher.
- Acrylic wallpaper is suitable for rooms with high humidity.
- Non-woven wallpaper creates perfect surface for final painting of walls.
- Fiberglass wallpaper is the most fireproof type, which is ideal for finishing a frame house, both finishing and for painting.
When purchasing wallpaper, pay attention to the type of glue that is most suitable for it. For different types Wallpaper requires certain types of glue.
Ceramic tiles
Finishing in a bathroom, toilet, kitchen or swimming pool requires finishing material high strength and moisture resistance. The perfect combination These characteristics are represented by ceramic tiles. This material has low price, but at the same time, the variety of shades and textures will allow you to bring even the most daring design ideas to life.
Tiles can be used to decorate both walls and floors. It easily attaches to any plastered surfaces, including drywall.
Lining
A popular option for interior decoration of a frame house is. Due to the high heat and sound insulation characteristics of this material, it is excellent for cladding the walls of a frame house. In addition, walls decorated with natural wooden paneling look very cozy and aesthetically pleasing, especially if the house is countryside.
There are more budget option– plastic lining. It is very easy to install, and it will serve for many years. Plastic lining You can finish the walls and ceiling in the bathroom if tile seems too expensive an option. It should be borne in mind that such a finish will look simple and without frills.
Liquid wallpaper
One of the recently invented finishing technologies, which has already won many fans, is liquid wallpaper. They are good for their decorative component and ability to hide minor flaws and unevenness of the wall. However, their application method is difficult and time-consuming.
Decorative plaster
If you want to create an original designer wall covering in your frame house, consider the finishing option decorative plaster. Thanks to various textured rollers and ease of application, decorative plaster is perfect for creative people who do not have special repair skills. In addition, an important advantage of this material is its low price.
To make the interior more original, you can combine several types of finishes, for example, painting and decorative plaster, or wallpaper and wall panels
The main thing is to know when to stop: additional decorative material is best used for zoning individual objects: the head of a bed, a TV, etc.
Types of floor materials
If you want to combine rough and fine finishing of the floor, while saving time and money, you can cover the floor with tongue and groove boards. This natural material will serve you for a long time and correct processing will have an aesthetic appearance.
tongue and groove board
The best option would be a board made of larch: it has higher moisture resistance than a board made of spruce or pine, but at the same time, unlike oak or ash boards, it is not as attractive to beetles.
The tongue and groove board is laid on a screed or joists.
After purchasing tongue and groove boards, bring them into your home and leave them there for 2 weeks. This way you will ensure ideal moisture content of the material, and the new floor will not change in size after installation.
Parquet
One of the most environmentally friendly, high-quality and durable materials, especially if it is natural. However, it is expensive, but at the same time it is very susceptible to high humidity.
Laminate
The material is average in almost all respects. It’s difficult to call it environmentally friendly, and it’s not resistant to moisture, so it’s better to choose some other option for a child’s room. At the same time, laminate lasts quite a long time if handled with care, is inexpensive and easy to install. It is perfect for the floor in the living room or hallway.
Laminate flooring is laid on a special substrate, which gives the floor elasticity and reduces the likelihood of damage.
Tile
Ceramic or cork tiles are most often used for interior decoration of a house.
Ceramic tiles separately suitable for decorating the floor in the bathroom, kitchen, as well as the island front door. This is the most wear-resistant material, and one of the easiest to care for.
Ceramic tiles are the most best choice in the event that you are making a “warm floor”.
This material has high heat transfer, but does not deform from constant exposure to heat, like laminate or parquet.
Cork tiles are a fashionable trend for connoisseurs of all things natural. It is quite expensive, but its main advantage is environmental friendliness.
Even a chronic allergy sufferer can live comfortably in rooms with cork floors. Its main disadvantage is its vulnerability to heels.
Linoleum
The most budget option flooring, widely used in finishing houses in the USSR. Its main advantages are good heat transfer and moisture resistance, but other characteristics are inferior to competitors: it is susceptible to chemical exposure and is easily damaged.
Carpeting
If you want to be able to walk barefoot comfortably in your room, then feel free to buy carpeting. It is inexpensive and very easy to lay. Carpeting has the highest heat transfer and good moisture resistance, but at the same time it is not very practical: any stains will be visible on light shades, and it is also very easy to damage the surface.
Whatever materials you choose for interior decoration, you must carefully read the instructions for them. If you are going to decorate the house yourself, be sure to study step by step instructions finishing online to avoid mistakes.
Prefabricated houses, created using frame technology, are increasingly being installed in our country for permanent residence.
Not only allows you to save time on the construction of a structure, but allows you to produce a building with good performance characteristics. In addition to high strength and excellent thermal insulation of the walls, a frame house can be finished both outside and inside with various materials, which opens up space for creativity and transforming the walls of such a structure at your discretion.
The article will discuss how the finishing of a frame house is carried out.
Exterior decoration
External surfaces are exposed to moisture, freezing temperatures and heat during the summer months. To protect the facade from negative influences, as well as to give the structure a more aesthetic appearance, the exterior of the frame house is finished with special materials.
Many types of finishing materials can significantly increase the strength of the structure, which allows the base to withstand high wind loads.
So, let's look at the options for exterior finishing of a frame house.
Plywood comes to the rescue
The plywood is attached to the main wall using self-tapping screws, then painted with any weather-resistant paint. The advantage of this method is the high speed of work, good appearance and increased mechanical strength of the structure.
The cost of exterior finishing with plywood, calculated per 1 m2, does not exceed 350 rubles.
Using bricks
Brick is a traditional finishing material for houses various designs, including it can be used for cladding frame houses. The use of the material is more expensive in all respects, but the heat saving coefficient is achieved at its maximum.
The use of brick for exterior decoration allows you to save a lot on heating and air conditioning of your living space.
The aesthetic qualities of this finishing material are also difficult to overestimate, and thanks to its high mechanical strength, the highest level of protection is achieved frame structure from exposure to unfavorable natural factors.
Wooden block house
The use of a block house for finishing a frame house is the most promising direction when carrying out this type of work. The use of high-quality lumber will not only bring the outer surface into proper shape, but also significantly strengthen the walls of the frame structure.
Can be attached directly to the outside of the walls. But if additional insulation of the structure is necessary, then in this case a sheathing is made into which insulation is installed, followed by sheathing with lumber.
Siding panels
Insulating and finishing a frame house with siding is one of the simplest methods.
Thanks to the huge range of these facing materials, you can choose a color scheme that is in maximum harmony with other elements of the house and the surrounding landscape.
Thermal panels
On modern market can be purchased decorative elements, which are easily installed on the outside of a frame building, perfectly protect the walls from the penetration of cold and have a presentable appearance.
Thermal panels can imitate various types of masonry or building cladding with lumber. The material of these building materials can also vary.
Most often on sale you can find thermal panels made of polystyrene foam and. Such products are lightweight, easy to install, but perform only a decorative function and are used to reduce thermal conductivity.
Thermal panels have a significant drawback: it will not be possible to increase the mechanical strength of a building using this material.
Plastering
Is a rather labor-intensive way to improve appearance frame house. The difficulty of installing this coating lies in the need to have sufficient high level skill to apply plaster in an even layer.
Significantly complicates and increases the cost of the coating application process, mandatory preliminary preparation surfaces. Which consists of applying sealant at the junctions of the walls and installing a special reinforcing mesh over the entire outer surface of the walls.
Coloring
How to sheathe a frame house from the outside if there is no need for additional insulation and changing the geometry from the outside. In this case, external work can be limited to painting only.
For this purpose, special coloring compositions for OSB are used, which can withstand well negative impact environment. In addition to painting, the outer surface can be treated with special compounds containing powders made from crushed stone.
Any of the listed external cladding options can be successfully implemented in practice. Which method to choose depends on personal preferences and financial capabilities.
Interior decoration of a frame house
After the construction of the building, they begin to restore order inside. Interior work can be divided into the following finishing stages:
- rough;
- finishing
Rough finishing is necessary only if the building has just been built and repairs have not yet been carried out. This category of work includes:
- pouring out floor screed;
- wall insulation;
- installation of windows and doors.
Finishing or fine finishing is the application decorative materials on the walls, floor and ceiling.
Rough work begins with wall cladding. Popular materials for performing this work are drywall and OSB.
Drywall
By installing this finishing material on a metal profile or wooden sheathing, you can achieve high productivity and a good final result.
Thanks to the sufficient gap between the wall of the house and the sheet of drywall, it is possible to completely hide the electrical wiring in this cavity, as well as lay a layer of insulation if necessary.
Look interesting video about installing drywall in a frame house:
It has a small mass, so the material can be successfully used for finishing the ceiling. They look especially impressive multi-level ceilings made from gypsum board sheets.
OSB
Compared to drywall, it has more weight, so it is used for reliable fastening. special screws. They are not installed on the ceiling, but can be successfully used for the floor.
OSB is laid on the floor in such a way that the logs are located perpendicular to the length of the slab.
Cladding with clapboard
The lining is installed on a metal or wooden frame, which is securely fixed to the main surface of the house. Then the material is attached to the sheathing using self-tapping screws.
In addition to natural lumber, artificial products can be used, which
their appearance imitates natural timber. Installation is simplified due to a special latch installed at the edges.
Tile
In rare cases, the interior decoration of a frame house can be done using tiles.
Unlike installing sheet products, installing tiles requires the use of an adhesive composition. Installation work should be carried out using a level to ensure level masonry.
Finishing
After the surface of the walls and ceiling is leveled with materials such as:
- drywall;
- plywood;
Work will definitely be required to improve the appearance of the surface decoratively. Inside the house, finishing can be done using.
Wallpaper
Simple and popular material. Inexpensive are paper wallpaper, which are easily glued to a previously prepared surface.
In addition to paper, the following can be used for interior decoration of a frame house:
- vinyl;
- textile;
- non-woven;
Coloring
The surface inside the house can be painted with various dyes. Depending on the type of product used for cladding, the most suitable suitable look paints.
To ensure reliable attachment of the paint and varnish substance to the surface, the base must be primed with a properly selected primer.
Decorative plaster
This type of finishing work can be done on drywall and after covering the walls with OSB boards.
To obtain high-quality coverage, you need to follow technology. Plastering plasterboard is done with extreme caution. When applying the plaster layer, its thickness should not exceed 10 mm.
Conclusion
Finishing of the facade and interior of a frame house can be done using various materials. After selection suitable option, the work can be entrusted to professional builders or done with your own hands.
No matter how warm, cozy and comfortable your home is, it won’t look good without quality finishing on the outside. Modern finishing frame house can be made of a variety of materials, both natural and synthetic. Each type of exterior finish has its own pros and cons, features of fastening to the wall, and differences in prices. There are some that you can easily do yourself, while others are best left to a specialist.
What is this for?
Non-ventilated structures lack such an important component as an air gap. They attach directly to the wall, making installation much easier. At the same time, the panels also protect the walls well from temperature changes in winter, and in summer they reflect sun rays, maintaining a comfortable room temperature.
Suspended structures can be used not only for cladding new buildings, but also old ones. The principles of attaching screens to the wall do not cause damage or deformation. This is especially true for ventilated facade panels.
Before installation work To extend the life of the walls of your home, you do not need to carry out additional processing or dismantle the old cladding.
Wet cladding of a wooden building
Can wet cladding of a frame house be done with additional insulation? To do this, go to the outside OSB boards it is necessary to glue the foam boards. Here you need to be careful and choose polystyrene foam specifically for exterior decoration. This material is called façade, and is marked with the letter F, for example: PSBS-25f. Do not buy extruded foam, which store consultants like to recommend. It is more expensive, but is completely unsuitable for exterior decoration of frame houses. The fact is that it does not allow steam to pass through at all, which means that the walls will not be ventilated and condensation in the form of water droplets will accumulate on them. And frame walls are already much more airtight than those made of brick or blocks.
EPS can only be used when insulating the base, as it is harder and does not absorb moisture. For better fastening there is a primer for it (it is too smooth by itself), it is necessary to scratch the slabs sanding paper or scratch it with something sharp.
Let's place the foam on the glue, joint to joint. Using polystyrene foam you can create decorative elements on the facade of a building. They are ideally located near windows or around the front door.
A layer of special glue 4-6 mm thick is applied to sheets of foam plastic (you can take the thinnest one - for example, 40 mm, since frames, as a rule, already have mineral wool insulation). A fiberglass mesh is embedded in the glue, acting as the so-called base reinforcing layer. It is coated on top with a special quartz primer, which includes a fine sand filler.
Only after all this work has been completed can a layer of decorative plaster be applied, which differ in both color scheme, and in composition.
Types of plaster for exterior finishing:
- acrylic
- silicone
- silicate
- mineral
- with various fillers
Important: Please note special attention on the quality of the reinforcing mesh. The adhesives release alkali, which can dissolve the reinforcing layer, causing the entire finish to become unusable.
Facade brick for cladding
Facade bricks can also be of various types. It differs in its composition, color, and additional inclusions. The most common types of bricks for exterior decoration are:
- silicate
- hyper-pressed
- ceramic
Sand-lime brick has the most reasonable cost, and ceramic brick creates the most stylish and neat appearance of the building thanks to its surface. It can be smooth, glazed, or even matte. Hyperpressed brick contains fine limestone and shell rock, which reduces the percentage of moisture absorption. Facade bricks are also divided into:
- hollow
- full-bodied
In the hollow facade brick holes are created to provide an air gap. Therefore, such brick retains heat better.
External brick cladding can be done various types styling Do not finish when low temperatures, since the solution may freeze.
Number calculation required material For exterior finishing of frame houses, carry out this in advance, since different batches of bricks may have slight differences in shades, which will be noticeable after finishing the cladding. After exterior finishing, you can achieve a more even shade of the masonry if you treat the wall with a solution of 10% perchloric acid.
Siding and PVC panels - cheap and tasteful
Siding is panels for the outer cladding of frame buildings made of polyvinyl chloride, the thickness of which is about 1.0 -1.3 mm. This is the cheapest and easiest way of exterior finishing. frame walls, which you can do yourself. Thanks to its synsetic structure, siding is not subject to destruction, and allows you to forget about protecting your home for a long time. The sheathing does not deform, does not rot, and fungi and bacteria do not like the material. The appearance of the house takes on neat European features, and the use structural elements and different shades makes the house special.
A frame house protected by siding is not subject to corrosion. The lining material and all cladding can withstand sudden temperature changes from minus 40 to plus 60.
This is the best way to finish a frame building with a light foundation. The lightness of the finishing material does not put a lot of stress on the walls and base.
This type of siding has become especially popular: façade panels PVC under the stone. PVC is a synthetic material that provides an excellent basis for imitation natural stone, granite, brick, marble. At the same time, this type of finish is easy to clean and can be used to protect the base.
Panels with siding can be mounted on a frame, which provides an additional air gap. Additional ventilation helps remove excess moisture from the wall and retains heat. In addition, you can additionally use insulation.
Thermal panel cladding with clinker tiles
You can cover the walls with stone on the outside using thermal panels. The material is created on the basis of polyurethane, and performs not only protective and decorative functions, but also insulation.
The panels are fixed in a seamless manner, which improves the finishing properties. Clinker tiles, which create a beautiful appearance for a frame building, strengthen the walls, improving its shockproof properties. The tiles are not subject to abrasion, destruction and deformation by fungus, mold and bacteria. It is easy to clean.
The installation process occurs in several stages:
- Verification of building geometry. All walls should be smooth and the corners should be 90 degrees. If there is a deviation, it is necessary to use additional lathing for the frame house.
- We begin work by securing the base profile. Fastening in progress aluminum profile horizontally along the base of the frame structure.
- The next stage is corner thermal panels. We attach the panel to the base of the profile.
- We fix the panels using dowels or self-tapping screws. We put together all the panels using the puzzle method.
- Using polyurethane foam, we seal the panels, eliminating the gaps between them.
- We treat the seams with frost-resistant grout.
The biggest disadvantage of this method of framing frames is the price.
Facade tiles for brick, stone and other natural materials
By using wall cladding in this way, you can protect the walls, change the design of the house, and give the old house a new look. fresh look. On wooden walls The tiles are secured using lathing, otherwise moisture can penetrate from the tiles to the wall. The tiles must fit together tightly enough to prevent moisture penetration. Fixation occurs using adhesive solutions.
Due to its composition, tiles for external decoration have the following qualities:
- Variety of colors and shapes.
- Various reliefs and textures, shine and dullness.
- Inexpensive and easy installation.
- An excellent choice for residential premises.
- The weight of the tiles is quite light, so no additional strengthening of the foundation is required.
- Can be used for wooden frame buildings, as it does not weigh them down.
- Protects the wall from condensation and moisture penetration into the frame wall.
- Eco-friendly and harmless.
- Easily repairable.
- May look like trim from elite varieties stone, granite and marble, while the price is much cheaper.
Such tiles consist of concrete, sand, plastic and coloring pigment.
Block house: modern type of cladding
Give your home a natural and natural look wooden house It will help to use it in finishing a block house. It is a rounded log (or beam) with a flat surface inside. The flat surface is attached to the wall, as a result of which the frame house takes on the appearance of a house made of timber. Even inexpensive panel houses look like luxury housing.
In addition to its excellent appearance, the blockhouse has the following features:
- It perfectly protects the walls of the house from external influences environment, including from rain, snow, frost or scorching rays of the sun.
- Durable and not subject to destruction, thanks to modern high-quality impregnations.
- The exterior finishing of a frame house with a block house can be carried out with simultaneous insulation and soundproofing of the building.
- Quick and easy fixation can be done with your own hands.
- It is easy to replace one or more finishing elements and make repairs.
- It combines well with plastic, brick, and decorative plaster, giving a unique appearance to a frame house.
One of the promising areas in construction is frame technology prefabricated houses. More and more people in Russia and neighboring countries have become interested in frame housing construction and are implementing house projects using this technology.
And this is not surprising. There is a lot of reliable information and professional construction companies that you can turn to for help. And the main thing is that such a housing construction system saves money and time.
Many generations abroad have already appreciated it, proven not just for decades, but for centuries.
The history of frame construction of low-rise buildings begins in Canada. The settlers needed to quickly build housing and settle into the new territory. Then many countries also began to build frame houses, including the Scandinavian countries, Germany, and the USA.
This technology has a number of advantages:
- lightweight design simplifies the construction of the foundation and prevents soil subsidence;
- as already mentioned, it saves time and costs on building a house;
- smooth wall surfaces facilitate internal and exterior finishing walls, no additional leveling of vertical surfaces is required.
Today we will talk about the internal and exterior decoration frame houses.
How to decorate the facades of a frame house?
The main element of such a house is a wooden or metal frame system filled with insulation. The options for finishing a frame house are so varied, it all depends on your taste and capabilities.
All wooden elements treated with antifungal and fire retardant compounds.
The walls of a frame house look like this:
Many people wonder: is double-sided wall cladding necessary? OSB boards. This, of course, leads to an increase in the cost of the structure, but will provide the house with rigidity and solidity. You can safely hang furniture and other equipment on the walls.
Technology frame house construction will not require additional time for shrinking the house and drying building materials, so you can almost immediately begin finishing the walls, both external and internal.
There are several options for finishing facades. Like any facade, it can be plastered and painted, the walls can be lined with siding, clapboard, or a block house (imitation of a wooden house) can be used.
There are two ways to plaster the facades of a frame house:
- plastering is carried out using sheets of façade foam plastic, previously fixed to the façade using glue and clamping dowels;
- or plastered directly on OSB sheets, having previously treated the joints with frost-resistant sealant, pasted the walls with fiberglass mesh and primed them. But this method is not durable; it is more suitable as a temporary option.
Facing with siding - a budget option, while the facades look finished and neat. A variety of colors and imitation of various textures gives ample opportunities make the house attractive by combining it with the color of the roof and window frames.
First, along the perimeter of the facades, lathing is made of 50x25 mm bars or metal profiles in increments of 50 cm, to which panels or siding strips are subsequently attached with self-tapping screws. Decorative profile corners are installed at the corners of the house.
As facing material can be applied facade board , this is what residents of Scandinavian countries do, preferring more natural and environmentally friendly materials. In addition, wood provides additional thermal protection.
To fasten the board you will need the same frame of bars. In addition, for durability, the board must be treated with an antifungal compound, primed and painted in two layers.
There are several types of façade board fastening:
- horizontal or vertical;
- tongue-and-groove connection:
- butt or overlap fastening.
Composite boards meet increased requirements: they will last longer than conventional boards and do not require additional treatment with varnishes and mastics.
Variety wood finishing facades is block house , while the house looks as if it was built from timber.
Facade cladding of a frame house can be done clinker tiles or artificial stone, which will give the house not only an attractive appearance, but also protect the walls from precipitation and damage. Before cladding, an insulating material - foam plastic - is attached to the surfaces and covered with a reinforcing mesh, and then the tiles are glued to a flexible adhesive.
Brick cladding of facades - not the best cheap option, because the frame construction system itself is primarily attractive due to its low cost compared to other types of construction. However, there are adherents of this finish. Nevertheless, such cladding increases the reliability of facades and gives the house a respectable appearance.
A ventilated gap must be left between the walls and the brickwork. Such cladding will require a foundation with a high bearing capacity, on which the brickwork will rest.
Interior decoration of frame house walls
The most common material for lining the walls of a frame system inside a house remains plasterboard. It's better to apply moisture resistant sheets. For greater rigidity and solidity, two layers of plasterboard are used.
Using gypsum plasterboard you can perform almost any finishing: plaster and paint, or wallpaper, having previously covered the joints between the sheets of drywall with masking tape, putty and primed the surfaces. You can also lay ceramic tiles on the walls and floor.
The same boards, lining and block houses are suitable for cladding, it all depends on your preferences and the chosen style.
Some prefer to finish directly on OSB sheets, but the walls will need to be primed in several layers, since the sheets absorb liquid like a sponge. As a rough finish and for partitions, you can also use plywood, magnesite boards, and chipboard.
Pay special attention to the so-called “wet” areas. Before attaching moisture-resistant drywall to the surfaces of walls and ceilings, it is necessary to carefully treat all joints on the walls with sealant and completely treat the floor surface and bottom part walls around the perimeter to a height of 150-200 mm. Next, the surfaces are finished with the selected facing material.
Instead of plasterboard, the walls of the boiler room can be covered with fire-resistant cement-bonded particle boards (CSP).
Any construction and repair leads to certain costs. Therefore, before starting work, carefully study the prices for construction market your region, weigh all the pros and cons, make at least a rough estimate, and the decision will come by itself.
