The irrefutable advantages of wood have made it one of the most popular finishing materials even in the era of the "construction paradise", when every craftsman can choose the material for every taste. Due to the low thermal conductivity and other positive qualities, such as ease of fastening, the ability to hide surface defects, as well as environmental safety, wooden eurolining ensured stable popularity for a long time. The lining is a thin finishing panel made of selected wood, designed for external and interior decoration premises and performing several functions, including special place allocated for cosmetic, decorative and soundproofing. Despite the fact that there are several types of lining - wooden and plastic, experienced professionals prefer the first option, in view of its significant advantages. In most cases, clapboard is sheathed on the outside of the house, as well as verandas, loggias and balconies. After finishing the walls with clapboard, which hides their irregularities and other shortcomings, they acquire an aesthetically attractive appearance. The use of wooden lining contributes to the uniform distribution of humidity and the preservation of heat in the room, which, after finishing with this material, is filled with a pleasant woody smell. An ideal option for interior decoration is pine, which nature has endowed with a pleasant golden hue that darkens with time. Despite the fact that, theoretically, lining is a durable material, like any other, proper care is needed to extend its service life. The main component of proper care is painting the lining, which will protect the material from drying out, dust and damage by insects, as well as from changes in temperature and humidity. Due to the relevance of this issue, in this article we will answer the question: “How and with what to paint the lining inside the house?”

Painting lining: the relevance of the issue

We can talk for a long time about the advantages of wood as a finishing material. It is characterized by the ability to heat and sound insulation, and the ability to visually hide the irregularities of the finished surface, and ease of installation, and, of course, durability. Thus, lining is characterized by all the advantages inherent in wood. However, wood also has its own disadvantages, such as a tendency to ignite, rot, as well as susceptibility to damage by insects and fungus. In this regard, despite the fact that lining is a durable material, over time it loses its original characteristics. To avoid this, wood finishing materials must be properly maintained, one of the stages of which is painting the wooden lining.

Important! Painting the lining is the final stage of finishing activities, however, as well as the implementation of other stages, it must be approached with due responsibility. The operational life of the lining and its ability to maintain the original performance characteristics depend on the selection of the most effective paint and varnish composition.

How to paint the lining: the choice of paint and varnish composition

The most susceptible to destruction and aging is the lining, which was used for cladding the facades of buildings. This is due to the fact that it is constantly influenced by negative environmental factors, such as microorganisms present in the environment and causing wood decay, ultraviolet radiation, as well as sudden changes in temperature and humidity, leading to mold growth. In this regard, for exterior finish experts recommend using lining made of conifers wood, which contains a resin that has antiseptic properties and prevents the development of mold and mildew. However, it also needs to be processed. special formulations to extend performance. For the processing of wooden lining, functional and decorative compositions are used. The first group includes:

• flame retardants- functional compounds used to reduce the combustibility of the material. Due to the fact that wooden lining is flammable material, flame retardant treatment is a must;

Important! According to experts, the most effective is the industrial processing of wooden lining with fire retardants, which involves the application of a protective composition under high pressure. Do-it-yourself flame retardant application is considered less effective.

• Bactericidal and antiseptic compounds, penetrating into the wood structure to a depth of several millimeters and preventing its destruction under the influence of aggressive environmental factors, such as ultraviolet radiation, precipitation, mold and rot. For processing wooden lining inside the house, compounds are used that indicate their purpose for internal works;
• Drying oil- a composition that provides reliable protection of wood from decay, as well as giving it water-repellent characteristics. However, the disadvantages of drying oil, such as bad smell and a long drying time of each layer, significantly limit its use;
• Acrylic varnishes- paint and varnish compositions that have not only functional, but also decorative characteristics. They are used for finishing lining and are applied in two stages: the first layer involves the application of a transparent varnish, and the second - a varnish with the addition of a tinting composition. Choice of water-based acrylic lacquer - perfect option for those who want to keep the original texture of the material;

• Yacht varnish forms a reliable and durable coating of wooden lining, protecting the material from moisture, mold and fungus, as well as ultraviolet radiation. In view of the presence of solvents in the composition of the varnish, it is characterized by an unpleasant, but quickly weathered odor. There are matte, semi-gloss and glossy varnishes. The disadvantage of yacht varnish is its high cost, but it is fully consistent with the quality of the composition. In this regard, painting the lining with varnish can be significantly limited;
• Synthetic varnishes- Unlike acrylic varnishes water-based, are more toxic, however, during the application process, they provide the lining with a rich shine and a smooth surface. Due to the fact that the composition of synthetic varnishes includes xylene and toluene, it can only be used for outdoor use;
• A profitable alternative to varnishes is considered wax-based formulations, providing the lining with a semi-matt sheen. However, the limiting point in its use is the complexity of application.

If the first group of funds is focused on protecting the lining from operational factors and extending its use, then the use of the second group - decorative compositions is relevant if you plan to radically change the design of the room.

Decorative compositions for painting lining:

• Oil paints, penetrating deeply into the structure of wood and effectively increasing its resistance to negative impacts environment, including moisture. However, they are characterized long time drying, as well as the gradual loss of color during operation. In addition, the peculiarities of the composition of oil paints contribute to the fact that the air permeability of wood is reduced, and therefore, they can only be used for painting. individual elements indoors;
• Acrylic paints are superior in performance to oil formulations, which guarantees greater preservation of the color and luster of the wooden lining. They are characterized by high elasticity, and therefore, they do not crack even with significant temperature changes and deformations, and painting the lining with paint can be used both for outdoor and indoor work;
• Enamels based on alkyd allows you to paint the lining in a wide range of colors both inside and outside the room. After painting a wooden lining with alkyd-based enamel, a glossy surface, which may fade over time, which leads to the need for re-staining;
• Water-based paints do not hide the texture of wood, giving it a matte surface. They are characterized by the absence of an unpleasant odor and fast time drying, however, they are inferior to varnishes in reliability. Construction market offers a wide variety of water-based paints and varnishes, among which there are facade, waterproof, washable, as well as enamels intended for interior use.

Important! For painting wooden lining in a bath or sauna, professionals recommend choosing special impregnations or varnishes that reliably protect decorative coating from moisture and dirt, as well as not emitting harmful volatile components when heated.

Lining painting technology: step by step instructions

Regardless of which paint you choose, painting a house, in which lining is the main finishing material, requires compliance with the technology for applying paint for lining. An important role in this process is given to preparatory activities.

What are the preparatory measures: we prepare the lining for painting

• First of all, it is necessary to clean the lining from the old paint. If the layer of paintwork material is strong enough, the painted lining must be cleaned with a 2% soda solution, which will help to effectively remove the layer of old paint. If fragments of paint still remain on the surface of the lining, they can not be removed, as they make it possible to give the lining a new, original texture;
• After cleaning the lining, it is necessary to polish it, for which it is recommended to use a non-specialized grinder, and traditional sandpaper or even pumice;
• After grinding, process the lining with drying oil;

Important! To improve the result of processing lining with drying oil, add 50 grams of turpentine and dry pigment to its composition, which can be used as minium or ocher;

• The final stage preparatory activities is a primer, for which primers for wood or compounds that will be used for further painting are used.

Important! Experts recommend replacing the traditional primer with a primer antiseptic, which will increase the protective characteristics of the processed wooden lining to a greater extent. Despite the fact that this preparatory stage is not mandatory, experienced specialists do not recommend neglecting it, explaining that certain types of wood in the area of ​​sawn knots have specific formations - “tar pockets”, from which resin is released from time to time, reducing protective properties of paint or antiseptic. Currently, manufacturers offer many varieties of primers: both for outdoor and indoor use, as well as specialized antifungal and anti-mold primers that significantly extend the life of paint and varnish coatings.

Lining painting technology

• Painting the lining, the video instruction for which is attached below, is a process that is not difficult and can be carried out even by a beginner. But, despite this, experts recommend following some tips, which can also be found in this article.
• The application of paint must be carried out in a thin layer, making continuous movements along wood panel. It is important that in the process of painting the lining, only the tips of the bristles of the brush pass along its surface, but not its base;
• Even if the paint or varnish does not completely cover the surface of the lining, it is not recommended to apply too thick a layer of paint and varnish composition, as several thin layers will provide a more durable coating than one thick layer;
• In order to effectively paint over the lining in hard-to-reach places, as well as in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bskirting and platbands, experts recommend using a thinner brush, the diameter of which does not exceed 5 cm;
• The following advice will avoid the appearance of marks on the surface of a freshly dyed lining. To do this, the top coat of paint must be applied from top to bottom, which will most effectively smooth the surface of the freshly painted lining.

Important! In the process of painting vertical surfaces, for which wooden lining was used, a layer of paint must be applied continuously. At the same time, it is not recommended to paint over the same place more than two or three times, as this will lead to the fact that the painted surface will not be strong enough and will acquire a sloppy appearance. In addition, after applying each layer, it is necessary to wait for it to dry, and then proceed to apply the next layer of paint.

• To improve the quality of your painting, follow the advice of our experts.
• Before painting, as well as in the process of work, it is necessary to mix the paint thoroughly, which will achieve uniformity of color and gloss;
• To make sure that the color match is correct, make a test paint, which involves applying paint to a small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe unused board;
• To avoid uneven color and gloss, experts do not recommend applying too thick a layer of paints and varnishes, replacing it with several thinner layers;
• The following fact may seem surprising to someone, but sometimes, in the course of staining the lining, zigey mittens may be required. Experts explain this by the fact that sometimes wooden lining can alternate with metal pipes and other metal elements that are rather difficult to paint, due to the fact that one side is on the ground. To facilitate the dyeing process, it is enough to turn the zigey mitten with the fur outward, put it on your hand and, dipping it in the paint, use it instead of a brush. This method significantly speeds up the process of painting and allows you to paint up to 5 meters of pipe in 1 minute;
• Experts recommend tinting the primer in the color that best matches the color of the subsequently used paintwork;
• It is not recommended to carry out paint and varnish activities in sunny weather or under the influence of direct sun rays, which can excessively speed up the drying time of the paintwork material. To avoid this, do not hold such events in hot sunny weather, as well as on rainy days. The most optimal weather for painting events is warm, cloudy and calm weather;

• Most weak point in this case are the ends of the boards through which water is absorbed at the highest rate, causing damage to the wood. This causes the most thorough approach to their processing, including the application of several layers of primer and paintwork materials;
• An interesting fact is that in the process of re-painting the facade of the building (if there are no gross structural defects on it), the same or a different shade can be used. However, it is important to observe the rule according to which it is necessary to use the same paint material which was previously used.
• Determining the types of paintwork can be done visually. For example, acrylate paint typically cracks along the grain and has a leathery surface. At the same time, it can be torn off and even rolled into a tube, which will not affect its integrity in any way. As for the antiseptic, it is characterized by a glossy surface. A surface previously painted with an antiseptic can be painted with it or with oil paints.

Some tips for choosing paints and varnishes:

• Due to the fact that during the drying process oil paints change their color somewhat, in the process of choosing the tone of the paintwork composition, give preference to a darker one;
• As for acrylic paints, they do not change their color in the process of work and do not crack;
• Water-based paints are environmentally friendly, however, more expensive materials. Having given preference to them, you will be surprised at the vastness of the choice of color palette;
• Using aqualak, pre-paint the lining with water-repellent and anti-slip compounds, and also treat the lining with an antiseptic and impregnation, which will increase the fire safety of the treated wood;
• If you or your family members are allergic, give preference to scuba diving, which is the safest material;
• If you are using lining made from valuable breeds wood and want to emphasize its texture and naturalness, give preference to transparent polyurethane varnishes;
• To paint wooden lining in the dressing room, use urethane-alkyd varnish or antiseptic paint, the service life of which exceeds a decade. They will reliably protect wood from rot, mold and fungus, as well as increase its water and dirt-repellent characteristics.
• Due to the fact that oil paints reduce the air permeability of wood, to create an optimal microclimate in the room, use a primer and acrylic scuba varnish, which will reliably protect wood from dirt and dust and emphasize its natural beauty.
• Also remember that after applying the varnish, a translucent film forms on the surface of the lining, the paint contributes to the formation of a durable film, and the impregnations are not visible at all on the surface of the wood.

How to paint the lining: the choice of color scheme

Regarding the question: "What color to paint the lining?" , then we can safely say that there is no unambiguous answer to it, and the choice colors just depends on your preferences.

But, despite this, at one stage or another in the development of design, certain trends dominate, and in this moment they are in "leadership" white color which promotes not only visual extension inner space but also improve the mood of residents.

If the house is sheathed on the outside with clapboard, then this material, left untreated, will quickly fail under the influence of external factors. Improper painting will also not increase its service life. So how to process this cladding outside the house so that it lasts a long time?

Impact of harmful factors

There was a time when only wood was used for lining. But today the choice of materials has expanded.

If the walls of the house are sheathed with wood, they will be more exposed to weather conditions than metal or plastic lining. From wooden species it is better to choose coniferous. But they won't last long without treatment. They are influenced by various factors:

1. Change of humidity, freezing of walls in winter, overheating in summer.
2. The destruction of wood fibers under the action of ultraviolet radiation.
3. Influence of microorganisms (fungi) living in the environment.
4. Mold formation due to improper installation of lining.
5. Insects, rodents, pests.

If you ignore these points, the cladding of the house will dry out or not hold its shape. To prevent this from happening, it is processed immediately after installation. If this is not possible, then you should think about how to cover the skin after cleaning.

When buying a lining, it is advisable to check it for humidity, which should not exceed 12%.

Preparing for painting

The complexity of painting depends on what surface the paint is applied to. Most often it is necessary to update the old or untreated surface. If you don't take care of proper cleaning material, there will be little sense from such processing. The surface will again become unusable.

The old lining is cleaned of the previous layers of paint, dust, dirt, treated with an antiseptic.

Steps required before painting:

1. Major repairs need to be made first. If there are damaged strips, replace. Seal cracks and joints.
2. Then clean the surface: remove dirt, dust. If the lining has been painted, remove the previous layers.
3. If the old skin is infected with mold or other fungus, the surface is cleaned. And then treated with a special antifungal solution.
4. In order for the paint to lay down more firmly, the base is degreased with white spirit, gasoline or a detergent in which alkali is present.
5. The surface is sanded with sandpaper. If the wooden planks have become rough, you can walk with medium sandpaper, followed by fine sandpaper.
6. The next step is to prime the surface.

The lining is dried before painting.

How to prime the lining before painting

To prevent damage to the tree, it is necessary to choose the right impregnation.

Primers protect the surface of the lining from excessive moisture and penetrate deep into the wood. In summer, it will not dry out, and under the influence of precipitation it will not become damp.

Also, the impregnation prevents the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, and when used transparent, emphasizes the natural beauty of the tree.

An opaque primer hides skin defects, and leaves the relief the same.

Types of coloring composition

Pros and cons of oil-based paints

After preparing the surface, the question arises of how to paint the lining outside the house. Using oil paint is the standard, proven way to paint. Their advantages:

• do not deteriorate with sudden changes in temperature and moisture;
• at proper processing the surface coating does not allow the reproduction of fungi and other microorganisms;
• the composition passes air;
• penetrating deep into the tree, the paint protects the lining from moisture. This is a major plus, as it allows you to wash the surface without fear.

Despite such a number of positive properties, the dye on oil based has two negative qualities:

1. Long drying time. It dries in 1-5 days. The surface remains sticky and collects fluff, midges or debris.
2. A change in color that appears on light and dark tones. With this factor in mind, it is better to choose neutral shades.

The choice of oil-based dye allows you to paint without the help of a specialist.

Acrylic paint for outdoor use

It is expensive, but of good quality. It contains watercolor and oil components.

Advantages of acrylic paints:

• Durability and wear resistance (does not lose its original appearance for 5-10 years).
• Drying time - 3-4 days.
• The colors are bright and saturated.
• Possibility of mixing with each other (any shade is selected).
• Non-combustible.
• The composition does not penetrate deep into the tree and allows it to breathe.
• Easy to apply.
• Density allows the use of a spray gun.
• The plastic texture of the substance prevents the appearance of cracks.
• Repels dirt.
• Ease of use.

Among the shortcomings of acrylic compositions stand out:

1. high price;
2. instability at sub-zero temperature;
3. toxicity.

Before buying paint, it is best to carefully compare prices. The foreign version will cost more than the domestic one.

Facade composition with alkyd base

This paint is based on alkyd resins and modified oils. She dries quickly.

Its main advantages are:

• resistance to low temperatures- up to 30 degrees;
• fast drying - up to 9 hours;
• bright matte or glossy colors;
• gradual wear;
• moisture protection.

Flaws:

• fast fading;
• toxicity.

Alkyd-based varnishes

Alkyd-based varnishes and paints have a similar composition, but their characteristics are different. The varnish is based on alkyd resins. But fatty acids and natural vegetable oils. They endow it with new properties:

• thorough penetration into the wood;
• resistance to temperature and humidity changes;
• protection against the appearance of fungal and other infections;
• uniform coverage of the base;
• glossiness or haze of the film;
• color retention up to 10 years.

The only drawback of such a coating is the drying time (1-2 days) and a pungent odor.

Selection of paintwork material

When choosing a coating for lining, it is worth considering the conditions environment, the type of wood and its previous foundation.

You need to pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. The composition must protect the skin from sudden changes in temperature.
2. It should not change color when exposed to the sun.
3. After application, the coating should last 5 years.

But the main thing in painting wooden sheathing is a quality work that will delight the eye of the owner and passers-by.

Wooden lining is beautiful, natural material. It is not surprising that so many users around the world prefer it as a finishing and cladding material.

Environmental friendliness and natural beauty wood not only decorates the room, but also creates a certain microclimate in it. And the lining covered with a dense coating (paint, varnish) allows you to create any decor.

But, the tree has a significant disadvantage, which affects the performance of the lining - it undergoes decay, various damages, and also tends to darken.

This article is intended for those who want to protect and at the same time keep the lining in its natural form. Let's consider step by step how and with what it is better to cover (impregnate, process, paint) a wooden lining (euro lining).

I must say that the “take a brush, paint and paint” method is good, precisely because of its simplicity. But how long will wood painted in this way last? Wouldn't it be better to choose a more thorough and correct approach?

Proper painting of wooden lining consists of 4 stages:

Stage 1 - preparing the lining for painting

For eurolining, such a stage will be superfluous, since European manufacturers are guided by a different standard, which provides for mandatory pre-treatment of wood with protective compounds.

Those who bought a standard domestic-made lining or deal with an already painted surface must first of all carry out the initial processing of the panels.

Preparing a new lining

Preparation of new slats includes:

• sorting. It is known that the intersection of varieties up to 10% is allowed. Those. a batch of first grade lining may contain up to 10% of second grade lamellas. In order not to disturb the surface, they need to be sorted;

• drying. Purchased lamellas must be dry before installation;

• aging in temperature regime premises. in which the installation of lining is planned. It is natural to heat the sauna so that the boards “warm up” makes no sense. But here it is necessary to lie for 2-3 days in the room where they will be installed by the boards;

• removal of defects. The surface defects of the lining include chips, roughness, the appearance of blue, white spots, dead (falling out) knots. On part of the panels, defects can not be touched. This is due to the fact that in the process of work, a short lining will be needed. For example, for finishing under a window or above a door. However, in order to proceed with the installation on an open surface, the boards must be cleaned of defects by bleaching (for this purpose, it is recommended to use SenezhNeo or Hoarfrost). Grease stains can be removed by deresining - rubbing with a 25% acetone solution. Roughness is removed with a sandpaper ( sandpaper) or a metal brush.

Preparation of the operated (old) lining

Painting an old wooden lining Unfortunately, painting a wooden lining is not an action that can be performed once for the entire period of its operation. Painting lining is a process that needs to be repeated periodically.

In the event that pre-painted, varnished surfaces are to be painted, the panels must also be pre-treated.

When to paint the lining:

• peeling of the bottom layer of paint;

• loss of lamella color;

• loss of gloss of paint or varnish;

• the appearance of a significant defect, for example, the ingress of fat, oil, solvent, other dye, the manifestation of fungi on the surface of the lining;

• new style, thirst for change and fashion. For example, the existing color of the lining does not fit into the updated interior of the house and other factors.

How to clean the lining from varnish, paint and dirt

There are two ways to remove old paint or varnish from the lining:

• Mechanical. In this case, the existing coating is removed with a scraper, wire brush or building hair dryer and spatula. To completely remove the paint, you need to treat the boards with a solution of soda (100 g of soda for 1 liter of water). A significant disadvantage of the method is the possibility of damaging the lamellas with a scraper. Tip: this method is suitable for cleaning the lining from oil paint.

• Chemical. It involves the use of various synthetic solutions and compositions (washes, softeners), which contribute to the peeling of the paint from the base. It is worth noting that the chemical method is quite aggressive. Work with solutions in a well-ventilated area with the necessary equipment personal protection. After removing the surface layer, the lamellas should be washed with water or rubbed with white spirit.

Tip: if you plan to subsequently cover the wood with a transparent varnish, then it is better to give preference to the mechanical method, since washes can bleach the lining unevenly.

Users note that in the event that the old coating holds firmly, it is enough to lightly sand the surface (make it dull) and apply a new layer. If, however, the damage is deep, but partial (a knot fell out, a trace from a blow, peeling of paint), the place should be sanded more carefully. If necessary, repair deep defects with putty, apply a layer of paint to this place, and then paint the entire surface finished with clapboard.

Stage 2 - priming lining

Apply the primer with a brush or sprayer.

The use of a primer before painting gives the wooden lining several undeniable advantages, namely:

• improves adhesion, i.e. "adhesion" of the future surface layer of paint / varnish with wood;

• protects the tree from swelling;

• fill the pores. This allows you to apply the finish coat more evenly;

Tip: some types of wood (such as spruce or certain types pine) are able to release resin for quite a long time (up to 10 years). To avoid this effect, the lining can be treated with a special primer that closes the pores of the wood.

• allows you to reduce the consumption of decorative varnish or paint.

Types of primers for lining

Varieties depend on the composition of the primer:

• Acrylic primers. They provide reliable protection against everything except rot and rust protection. More suitable for indoor use.

• Alkyd primers. The most diverse and adapted to a particular type of wood. Suitable for both internal and external use.

• Polystyrene primers. Suitable only for outdoor use due to high toxicity.

• Folk ways(primers made by hand):

• Primer with PVA glue. An aqueous solution of PVA glue, popular among users, instead of a primer (dilute in a proportion of 10 drops per 100 ml of water). The solution must be applied twice to avoid the appearance of unprimed areas, which will appear only after complete drying. Among the disadvantages of the method: the appearance of a whitish coating on a wooden lining (on untreated wood, whitishness is not visible, but on tinted wood it is very even), partial hiding of the wood structure.

• Primer with gelatin. Some users also recommend using edible gelatin as a primer. Method of preparation: gelatin is dissolved in cold water(1:2), then heated in a water bath until the granules are completely dissolved. Cool to thicken the mixture a little and cover the lining in 2-3 layers.

• Drying oil. A long-known tool, but giving the tree stickiness and changing its color.

Tip: the primer should not form a film on the surface of the wood.

Among modern chemicals, according to reviews, the best primers for lining: Belinka, Tikkurila, Pinotex, Lacra.

Stage 3 - wood protection

Protective equipment for wooden lining

Purpose protective compounds to protect the wood from damage. Rot, fungi, bugs, moisture, ultraviolet - all these factors do not add life to wood. And, therefore, protective equipment must always be used, regardless of whether the wooden lining will be further coated with varnish or paint (decoration).

Methods and means of wood protection:

• Antiseptics. Chemical compositions which have antifungal activity. Their purpose is to protect the lining from the biological activity of various bugs and fungi.

Advice. Treatment with an antiseptic must be carried out before assembly (installation, installation) of the lining. This is due to the fact that the grooves, ridges and back side wooden lining also needs processing.

• flame retardants. Compositions based aqueous solutions salts, which are designed to protect the tree from fire. It should be noted that decorative means should also increase the fire resistance of wood.

The specificity of protective agents lies in the fact that they penetrate deep into the wood structure, and become invisible when dried. The application of protective equipment milestone in the protection of the lining, that the manufacturers of eurolining apply them even at the stage of preparation for sale. Along with the moisture index and lining grade, protection is what distinguishes ordinary lining from eurolining.

Advice. Lining is best primed on both sides. Special attention should be given to the ends of the lamellas. This is due to the fact that the end part will not be painted over after installation.

Stage 4 - lining for lining (paint, varnish)

Coating for lining To the choice of decorative finish coat(paint / varnish) must be approached responsibly.

What is better varnish or paint for wooden lining? And if paint, then what paint is better for lining?

First you need to decide where the work will be carried out (inside / outside), what effect should be achieved, what quality of the surface to be painted, what are the requirements for timing, cost, etc.

We choose how to cover the lining - types of paint and varnish for coloring and impregnating wood

1. Paint (opaque enamel) for lining

Oil paint

Oil paint for lining Practice has shown that oil-based paint lasts a long time and reliably protects wood from moisture. It dries quickly and slowly changes color. The paint has a specific smell, which quickly disappears. It is not difficult to update such a decorative coating on the lining.

Oil paint is renewed every 5-6 years. This is necessary to make the paint shine and eliminate microcracks through which moisture can damage the lining.

Advice. After drying, the surface of the lining, painted oil paint, will become slightly lighter. Therefore, initially it is worth choosing a darker shade.

Acrylic or acrylate paint

Acrylic paint for wall paneling high speed drying. The use of this paint does not limit the time of work. The paint allows application at low temperatures.

The surface of the lining, painted with acrylate paint, will not need to be updated for a long time. The only drawback of paint is the high price.

2. Stain (impregnation or decorative azure)

Stain for lining In fact, this is the same primer, but only giving the wood of the lining a different color or shade. Using stain for lining is inexpensive, but effective method emphasize the structure of the tree.

Note. The stain is suitable for wood surfaces without defects.

3. Varnish for lining

Refers to transparent coatings, which makes it an indispensable finish when it is necessary to preserve the natural structure of the tree.

Acrylic scuba for lining

Acrylic scuba for lining Eco-friendly, quick-drying varnish. Aqualac can be diluted with water. It is used for painting wooden lining from the outside and inside.

Tip: Aqualac is suitable even if an allergic person lives in the house.

Alkyd varnish for lining

Alkyd scuba lacquer for lining Creates a film on the surface of painted panels. Lacquer takes a long time to dry.

The use of alkyd varnish is justified in rooms with high humidity (kitchen) or where there is increased wear on the lining (corridor).

The material was prepared for the site www.moydomik.net

Tip: The absolute strength, resistance to UV radiation is the coating of the lining with yacht varnish (yacht).

4. Oil-wax (or wax paints)

Oil-wax for lining Natural linseed oil-wax is a novelty in the market of coverings for wooden lining.

In the process of waxing the lining, the oil penetrates deep into the structure of the tree, and the wax gives the wood a beautiful appearance.

5. Liquid plastic

Liquid plastic for lining Completely deprives wood of its ability to micro-ventilate, but gives the wood a futuristic look. It is more often used to cover part of the lining surface, as a decorative design element.

Tips for choosing a finish for wooden lining

• color. Since the stain or paint changes the color or shade of the lining, you need to use this property. So, for example, light shades visually increase the space. The use of different colors / shades allows you to zone the room;

• compound. The prefix "bio" after the name of the varnish indicates the absence harmful substances. Such a composition can be used for interior work;

• manufacturer. Many domestic analogues of lining varnish or paint can create worthy competition for foreign goods. At the same time, the price of the product will be more humane.

How and how to paint the lining in the bath and steam room

Wax compounds Evrotex-Sauna for wall paneling in the bath Due to the significant temperature lining in the bath, it is better not to paint, but to treat it with protective compounds.

A great solution would be to use wax formulations, for example, Evrotex-Sauna. This coating is suitable for use in conditions high temperature and cyclic intensive moisturizing.

Advice. You only need to apply varnish in the sauna once. In the dressing room - you can make several layers.

How and how to paint the lining on the veranda

A veranda or terrace is most affected by atmospheric factors, so the material must be resistant. First cover with a layer of primer, and then 2-3 layers of varnish or paint.

How and how to paint the lining inside / outside the house

There are no special differences in painting the house from the outside or from the inside. The difference is only in the applied coatings. Lacquer / paint for interior use must comply with environmental requirements. For outdoor work, it is more important that the coating withstand moisture, temperature changes, and exposure to UV rays. The same type of paint can be used inside and outside the building. The difference is in the number of applied layers.

How to paint the lining correctly - a tool

To paint the lining, you can use:

• brush. Convenient in that they allow you to paint over the tree in the corners and hard-to-reach places. The paint is applied with a brush most evenly;

Advice. To apply the paint with a brush evenly and to prevent smudges, you need to dip the brush into the paint halfway.

• roller Allows for fast coloring. However, to obtain a uniform layer, you need to paint several times;

• spray. Allows you to get the job done as quickly as possible. But it increases paint consumption;

• mitten (cegeic). It is convenient to paint over (impregnate) with a glove the places where the lining joins (frames) with pipes;

• foam sponge.

The technology of staining wooden lining

• before painting or applying varnish / paint, they must be mixed well. So they will lie down more evenly;

• trial painting will allow you to understand how the painted surface will look;

• paint is best applied in several thin layers. So each layer will dry faster, and the coating will be applied more evenly;

• the next layer of paint / varnish should be applied only after the first one has completely dried;

• when painting the lining with paint, you need to leave gaps of 2-3 cm above and below the panels. This will allow the tree to breathe. And the gaps themselves can be closed with a decorative plinth;

• in order to avoid obtaining different shades of wood, it is better to paint with paint at a time, with material from one batch;

• if there is a need to interrupt work, try to make sure that the “seam”, the border of the painted and unpainted area, is not in a visible place;

Tips for Storing an Open Can of Paint.

If work is interrupted for a long time, then in order to prevent the appearance of a film on the surface of the paint, cardboard soaked in drying oil can be placed on the surface.

In the event that a film has appeared, then its particles can get on the surface to be painted. Better in this case, cover the surface with foam rubber and dip the brush through it.

• a more saturated color / shade can be obtained if the paint is applied several times (up to 4). Further increase in the number of layers will have no effect;

• do not allow paint/varnish to dry too quickly. This can lead to cracking of the painted layer. Professionals do not recommend applying paint / varnish under direct sunlight.

Having dealt with the nuances of processing, impregnation and coloring of wooden lining, you can create beautiful surface, and most importantly ensure its long-term operation.

Wooden lining - excellent finishing material. It is quite durable, beautiful, ensures the preservation of heat by the walls and a neat appearance of the facades from the outside. Modern wooden lining is made from selected wood, so you can provide a truly nice view walls outside and inside the house.

Painting is the best way to prolong the life of the lining

However, the finish is exposed to many factors, due to which its appearance may deteriorate. Painting and finishing the clapboard strips on the outside of the house is the best way to protect the material and ensure that the building looks consistently great.

Harmful factors

Lining is a natural material. outside the building top scores in terms of durability, softwood finishes show, however, it is not as durable as plastic or metal. The following negative factors affect wooden lining:

• change in humidity, which occurs both during the day and in connection with the change of season;
• negative temperature outside the house in winter and heating of the walls by the sun in summer;
• ultraviolet radiation, which gradually destroys wood fibers;
• various microorganisms, many of which are constantly present in the atmosphere;
• fungal infections affecting the tree;
• elementary mold, which can form due to improper installation and lack of ventilation;
• various pests from small insects to rodents.

Naturally, over time, the wooden lining outside the house loses moisture, dries out, and can become deformed. Therefore, it would be best if painting and finishing processing is done immediately after its installation is completed.

Types of preparatory work

The ideal option would be if you immediately paint a freshly mounted wooden lining outside the house. But in practice this is rare. There are necessarily factors of time, and sometimes sloppy previous painting. Paint flaking in tatters, overdried surfaces, areas affected by decay - all this is often present on the outside on the walls of houses where painting was done poorly or not done at all.

The old lining needs to be prepared for painting - remove paint residues, soak with an antiseptic

Therefore, before you start painting, the lining needs to be processed. The work is simple, but quite laborious. You need to carry out the following steps:

1. Cleaning. The surface is traversed with a brush, if necessary, removal of areas destroyed by decay - with a scraper. All dust and dirt is removed. If there is old paint, it is eliminated with special care. After that, the surface is washed with a soda solution of a sufficiently high concentration - about 0.3 kg of soda per 10 liters of hot water.
2. Destroyed sections are replaced by new lining strips.
3. A separate step is to indicate the fight against existing mold. To do this, there are many special tools on the market that need to process the walls outside the house.
4. For better adhesion of the paint, you can additionally degrease the surface with detergents containing alkali.
5. Grinding is in progress. Power tool owners will find the best way to take advantage of what is available. The rest can resort to the help of a simple pumice stone.
6. The primer with special compounds that prevent the growth of bacteria, fungus and mold can be skipped. However, if you want to get a really durable coating on the outside of the house, it is better to do it. Then it will be easier to paint and the coating will be of the highest quality and resistant.

After carrying out the whole complex of activities, you can paint the surfaces or cover them various formulations. Which option for processing the walls outside the house to choose - everyone decides individually.

Antiseptic impregnations

One of the most modern and functional ways of processing wooden lining outside the house are special impregnations. They have properties to stop the reproduction of bacteria, which prevents rot and the appearance of a blue tint to wood. Additionally, impregnations have the following properties:

1. The nature of the effect of the composition on wood is not superficial, but volumetric. Impregnations penetrate deep into the lining by several millimeters.
2. Many compounds guarantee UV protection, which has the most positive effect on the appearance of the lining.
3. Protection against penetration or excessive loss of moisture is provided, the finish on the outside of the building does not dry out and does not become damp when in large numbers precipitation.

Antiseptic treatment is required

Depending on the type of impregnation chosen, several tasks can be solved. For example:

1. It is worth painting with transparent or translucent compositions when you want to preserve the original structure and pattern of wood. Can manifest natural color or change it towards another, more interesting variety tree. In this way, the natural beauty of the material is better preserved and an artistic effect is achieved.
2. Opaque coatings, in turn, will completely hide the imperfections of the surface, preserving its relief. it great way paint in such a way as to better hide obvious destroyed areas, replaced areas of lining of a different texture, mask any knots and imperfections.
3. Impregnations with antiseptic and tinting properties are incredibly effective, but quite expensive. In addition, painting with such products will require more composition due to its absorption into the surface.

Oil based paints

The classic proven method of processing the walls outside the house. Oil paints have the following advantages:

• are absorbed into the surface, guaranteeing protection against moisture penetration;
• resistant to temperature, humidity changes.

Painting of this type also has some disadvantages, which are often not considered significant, rather belonging to the category of the natural state of things.

1. The compositions dry out for a very long time - from 8 hours to several days. Therefore, sticking midges and dust pollution are possible. In addition, there is a risk of precipitation and changes in the surface of the paint due to exposure to water.
2. Over time, the surface of the paint becomes matte, a change in color occurs. This is especially noticeable for the extreme segments - dark and light. color shades.

However, in general, oil-based paints are very functional. They are cheap, do not require special application methods, retain their characteristics for quite a long time, and almost everyone can paint using standard methods.

Acrylate based paints

More modern type paint though expensive, but provides some useful features. For example, due to vapor permeability, acrylate paints and varnishes are preferable for “fresh” lining, which is better to lose and absorb moisture. Acrylic paints are distinguished by the following features:

• retain a rich color for a long time;
• resistant to atmospheric factors;
• vapor permeable;
• the coating is elastic, so there is less chance of cracking from heat or frost.

Acrylic compositions comply with modern environmental standards, therefore they are suitable both for work outside the house and for painting any surfaces inside the premises.

Alkyd-based varnishes

Although alkyd varnishes have very good user characteristics, they are rarely used. This is due to the need to have experience with them to get a really beautiful and neat surface. If the required skills are present, alkyd compounds will provide:

• flat and neat surface;
• excellent level of protection against moisture;
• high strength;
• color stability over the years.

The service life of a well-made coating can reach 10 years. But after that, the varnish begins to quickly collapse, and the process of removing it for re-painting is quite time-consuming.

Simple Methods

The simplest and most common methods of painting lining outside the house include stain treatment. With its help, you can achieve not only protection from various adverse factors, but also create various artistic effects.

In addition, today you can find a stain of any color, so the method can be compared with the use of colored translucent impregnations. This method is one of the simplest and cheapest, but it main disadvantage- durability of the coating. Appearance walls outside the house is best updated once a year or two.

As you can see, high-quality painting of the exterior of the house is affordable and quite easy to implement with due diligence and care. Modern compositions can provide various properties protection, and the market will offer a lot of color shades. So if you want a great looking house, just make it that way.

Even a non-professional can handle the installation!

For exterior decoration, it is better to use pine lining. Pine is distinguished by its strength and reliability, beautiful and textured pattern. It is resistant to dampness and moisture, well tolerates the effects of precipitation and sunlight.

However, any wood is subject to rotting and darkening over time. External factors adversely affect the condition of the material and shorten the service life. To avoid problems, experts recommend painting wood paneling special protective equipment. Let's figure out how to process the lining outside the house.

Which tool to choose

Means	Advantages	Flaws
Covering (opaque) antiseptics	insect protection, high humidity and ultraviolet	An opaque finish that hides the texture and color of natural wood
Glazing (transparent) antiseptics	The transparent composition preserves the color and emphasizes the texture of the wood, protects against precipitation, rot and mold	Can not be applied to the old coating, therefore, requires mandatory grinding
Oil paints	Penetrates deep into the wood, keeps the material from moisture and dirt	They dry for a long time (about 2 weeks) and eventually lose color
Acrylic or acrylic paints and varnishes	The safest and most environmentally friendly composition, provides tight elastic cover and allows the tree to “breathe”, protects against precipitation and cracking, mold and fungus	High price
Alkyd varnishes	Durable solid composition gives a smooth and neat surface, protects against moisture and retains color for a long time	Too dense composition does not allow the wood to “breathe”, which eventually causes drying and decay.
Yacht varnish	Effectively protects wood from moisture and precipitation, is not subject to temperature changes and prevents yellowing of wood, does not fade	Gives off an unpleasant odor
	Affordable and easy to use, protects wood from mold, fungus and pests, does not disturb the pattern of wood and makes the color more saturated	Requires sanding after painting, needs subsequent varnishing

How to process facade lining

Before painting the lining, you need to perform preparatory work. Remove dirt and dust from the surface, remove platbands and other decorative elements. Seal the seams, cracks and joints of building materials with sealant.

• If you are applying new paint or varnish to an old coating, the old coating is first removed with sandpaper or a sander. First, cover the surface with a primer and drying oil. And then sand the lining so that there is no old paint left;
• Dry the lining. Remember that only dry wood can be painted!;
• Before and during painting, mix the composition thoroughly so that the color and gloss are uniform;
• The lining should be painted at least once every 4-5 years. In this case, the air temperature should not be lower than 15 degrees;
• You can paint the facade with a roller; for hard-to-reach places, use a brush;
• Apply the composition with long uniform masks in two or three layers. Before applying a new layer, let the previous one dry so that the surface is even and uniform;
