How to sheathe a wooden house with clapboard from the inside? How to sheathe a house with clapboard outside? The frame house is lined with clapboard.

23.06.2020

Sheathing with clapboard surfaces is carried out in several interrelated stages, each of which requires a special approach. Careful implementation of all technological procedures is a guarantee that it will be possible to obtain a reliable coating that is distinguished by excellent properties and environmental friendliness. The material is ideal for any kind of work.

Lining - is a board (of different thicknesses), which is made from various breeds tree. The material got its name from the original place of use. Namely, train cars, internal surfaces which were sheathed with small wooden slats, which created an excellent microclimate. Currently, the wood product is returning to its former popularity, which decreased slightly when plastic and MDF options began to appear.

The modern construction market offers a large assortment lining types

It must be borne in mind that do-it-yourself wall cladding with clapboard requires a balanced approach. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the product at the stage of its acquisition. Pay attention to the following points:

Proper storage of purchased goods. Packages must be stored in a horizontal position on a support.
Humidity level warehouse should be within the normal range.
It is not allowed to find products in open space, under the rays of sunlight.

You should also pay attention to the expiration date on the label.

All information about the storage and shelf life of the lining should be indicated on the packaging of the material.

Such a precaution is necessary in order to mitigate possible risks. The fact is that work with lining is carried out only after they are completely convinced that the material meets all standards.

On a note! The product should be purchased with the necessary margin, which is equal to ten percent. To get the exact number of elements, preliminary calculations are carried out, and a scheme is drawn up. It is important to consider that the size of the width of each fragment is measured by the internal depth. That is, it is necessary to subtract the depth of the groove (10-12 mm).

It is necessary to buy material with a margin of 10%

Material handling

After buying the right amount of products and fasteners, the question immediately arises: how to properly sheathe the walls with clapboard? But this is not a top priority. You need to know that the material needs pre-treatment, because in production, no actions are performed other than manufacturing. Therefore, the following manipulations are performed:

Coniferous woods need complete degreasing. All resin stains are removed. The boards are well washed with acetone (25% solution is required). Further, they are carefully wiped with rags previously moistened with water. After all the steps - the products are dried.
To obtain the same shade of the surface, each fragment is processed with a pre-prepared mixture. It consists of hydrogen peroxide and acid (oxalic). The solution is prepared based on the type of wood.
All damages, even minor ones, are repaired with putty. It is better to choose a mixture of wood. You can buy it at the store or make your own.
If you want to change the shade, then use stain or other special impregnations that preserve the texture of the wood.

Processing lining allows you to extend its service life and change the color of the material

Of course, you can find products that will be pre-finished, but their cost will be essentially yours.

On a note! You can't skip preprocessing. This will be a gross violation of the technology for lining surfaces with clapboard.

There are two main options for lining the surface with clapboard: glue and frame. The first requires a perfectly flat plane. Therefore, a method that involves the construction of a crate is preferable. In addition, it allows you to create additional space for warming the room.

The construction of the frame provides additional opportunities for warming the room

To attach the lining to the wall you will need:

Tool. In this case, it is necessary to prepare: a drill with various nozzles, a level (plumb), a hammer, pliers, electric jigsaw or hand saw.
Rails for the frame. For this purpose, a solid wooden beam with a cross section of 30 * 60 mm is excellent. Substrates are prepared immediately. They are used to level the racks.
On a note! If the surface has a significant slope, then setting the wooden beam will be a rather complicated procedure. In this case, a metal profile is used.
Fasteners: self-tapping screws, dowels, carnations, kleimers; if required, then additional elements for the frame (suspensions).

You should be aware that before sheathing with clapboard, even if the frame method is used, preliminary surface preparation is required. The procedure is simple, it consists in the fact that the old decorative layer is removed, and all defects are well smeared. Additionally, priming is carried out.

Creating a crate

The crate is carefully attached to the wall. The order of placement of the rails is determined by the chosen scheme for laying the lining.

The beam is treated with refractory impregnation and mold protection. wood paneling assumes that the wall will be dry.
The slats should be perpendicular to the decorative boards.
A single distance is established between the rails, the step of which is 40-50 cm.
Be sure to leave a gap between the ceiling and the floor. This is especially important for wooden houses which are subject to constant shrinkage.
The evenness of the installation of the frame for cladding with wooden clapboard is carefully checked. For this, apply building level and plumb lines.
If an empty space is formed between the wall and the rail, then it is filled with prepared dies.

The empty space between the rail and the wall is filled with wooden dies

On a note! The crate makes it possible to finish the walls with an additional layer of insulation. It is fixed directly between the racks.

Choosing a Fixation Option

Immediately determined with the method of fixation. After all, clapboard lining can be done in different ways:

Mounting the lining on the kleimers allows you to make the fasteners invisible

The necessary fasteners are selected based on the specific situation. Currently, kleimers are becoming more and more popular.

Attachment of decorative material

Fastening the lining begins with the fact that the material is brought into the room and left for two days. This time is necessary for the product to fully acclimatize. If you carry out the installation immediately, then there is a high probability that the warping of the elements will begin - the structure will be deformed. Work is carried out only at a positive temperature and humidity, which is not less than 60%.

Previously, the lining is brought into the room and left for two days

The general technique is:

Often the installation of boards is carried out in a horizontal manner. Therefore, the first element is installed at the bottom so that the spike looks up.
Fixing starts from the corner, which is away from the main entrance to the room.
The first board is well checked for level, the horizontal and vertical planes are taken into account. If even small deviations are allowed, they will become very noticeable when the top panel is attached.
The first fragment is fixed. Once again, the possibility of deviations is checked.
Next, the following elements are installed, which are first grooved, and then fixed.

But how to sheathe a wall with clapboard vertically? The procedure is the same as before:

Elements are located from the far corner. The first fragment is exposed and fixed.
The following elements are inserted into the groove and fixed. It is important to check that the joint is fully connected. To do this, lightly tap the rail along the edge.
For this method, a wider rail is used. It creates a beautiful surface with fewer joints.

With experience, the walls can be finished in one day (even with the frame). When installation is complete, attach decorative elements: corners and plinths. The surface is well impregnated with stain and varnished.

House decoration outside

Finishing the house with clapboard outside

Sheathing the house with clapboard outside - almost completely repeats interior work. The procedure is divided into three stages: marking, installation of the crate and cladding. But there are some nuances:

Two racks must be installed at each corner of the house.
Window and door openings are framed with a profile (beam).
For work, a high-quality board is used, which does not have falling knots.
Fixation is carried out through.
Elements are fastened with a groove down. This prevents the accumulation of precipitation.

If you understand the basic rules and study the chosen fixing method well, then the work is done quite quickly. The result will be a surface that will bring comfort and warmth to the interior. natural wood and will delight with its beauty for many years.

Who doesn't want to live in a pretty and cozy home? Many owners of private houses use lining for wall decoration. Such material has a number of positive characteristics: inexpensive, durable, beautiful material. Also lining can be used in various climatic regions. And the main advantage of lining is that you can do the work on sheathing a house with your own hands, having only necessary set tool and after reading our article, where you will receive the necessary theoretical knowledge.

How to choose a lining?

Preparatory work

As with any other construction work before you start lining the house with clapboard, you need to prepare the base. If you are sewing wooden house, then make sure that there are no weak spots on it - affected by mold or rot. Otherwise, take action by treating the walls with a special antiseptic.

Regardless of the material of the walls, thoroughly clean them from dust and dirt. All cracks must be carefully caulked and covered over - even tiny cracks can cause serious heat loss in winter. And removing the lining to eliminate the gaps is a huge amount of unnecessary work.

The wall should be perfectly flat and as smooth as possible.

Let's take care of the insulation

AT residential areas are always humid. And moisture will inevitably, even through the smallest pores, partially seep into the street. And a layer is usually placed under the lining thermal insulation material. If it gets wet, then its properties will drop sharply, and it itself can quickly become unusable.

So it is essential to ensure good ventilation and protect the thermal insulation layer from moisture. It is best to use roofing material for this - a durable and durable material. But it's not cheap, and big weight can cause some trouble during installation. So, you can also use thick construction polyethylene - less reliable, but cheaper and easier to install material.

Wooden bars are installed directly on the wall. The optimal distance between them is 1 meter, and the cross section of the bars is 2 × 2-3 × 3 centimeters. This will provide a gap between the wall and the heat-insulating material sufficient for ventilation. The selected material is attached to the bars. Make sure that there is also a gap at the bottom and top for ventilation. After that, we can assume that the vapor barrier has been successfully laid.

Working on the frame

The next important step is the frame. It is necessary for comfortable and easy installation of thermal insulation. When installing, it is best to use boards 3-4 centimeters thick and at least 10 centimeters wide. Boards are fixed vertically. The distance between them should correspond to the width of the insulation sheets, and ideally be 1-2 centimeters less. This will provide the most reliable fixation, and at the same time will not exert too much compression, which could lead to a significant deterioration in the thermal insulation qualities of the material.

The boards must be carefully leveled with a level - even small irregularities will be especially noticeable after clapboard lining. In addition, it is very important to choose quality boards. Never use high humidity material. When it dries, it can be seriously deformed, which will lead to the destruction of the lining or, at least, to the deterioration of the appearance of the house.

Laying thermal insulation

High-quality thermal insulation is especially important in our harsh climate. Any material can be used here, but most people prefer mineral wool- cheap, easy to install and durable option.

Laying starts from the bottom. Inserted between two boards, cotton wool sheets are securely fixed and do not need additional fastening. The next layer is laid directly on top of the previous one. Here it is very important to ensure that there are no gaps between the sheets - even a gap of half a centimeter can cause serious heat loss, especially on windy days.

Don't forget waterproofing

In order to reliably protect thermal insulation, which in most cases is afraid of moisture, from snow, rain, fog and simply high humidity, you need to take care of reliable waterproofing. It is best to use a special waterproofing film - it allows the materials to "breathe", but at the same time reliably protects it from moisture.

Installation does not take much time - the film is laid on top of the heat-insulating material and fixed on the boards with staples or nails. To ensure maximum reliability, it is advisable to make a small overlap (5-10 centimeters), and glue the joint with wide adhesive tape. Moreover, Lay the film with the smooth side inward, and the rough side outward.– many non-professionals do not know this.

Let's start upholstery

All preparatory work completed, and now the most important stage begins - lining the walls with clapboard.

It is advisable to prepare the lining in advance - adjust the material, and if necessary, cut it into pieces of a suitable length. The first board is mounted horizontally at the very bottom, with the groove up. Use a level to lay it perfectly even. It should be fixed directly on the frame. To do this, you can use both ordinary screws and kleimers. The second option is more troublesome, but if necessary, to carry out dismantling (to replace thermal insulation or for other reasons), the lining will definitely not be damaged.

Lining today is one of the most popular finishing materials for country houses. Therefore, home craftsmen often ask me about certain nuances of its installation. To help those who are engaged in finishing suburban housing or are just planning it, in this article I decided to talk in detail about how to properly finish the clapboard inside the house with my own hands.

The choice of lining

First of all, consider which lining is better for interior decoration at home, since the question of choice is the first thing you will have to face before finishing the room.

The main parameters that distinguish this finishing material are as follows:

type of wood;
quality;
profile.

As for the type of wood, the following types of lining are most often used for interior decoration:

from cedar - this lining is durable due to its high density and abundance of resin in the structure. In addition, it has a number of other advantages:
- has a calming effect on the nervous system;
- has an antiseptic property, which also favorably affects the health of those living in the house;
- has an attractive appearance;
- mosquitoes are afraid of the smell of cedar.

The disadvantages of this material include only the high cost, so not everyone can afford to use cedar lining;

from linden - has an attractive uniform color and pleasant. Often, such lining is used for cladding baths, since it practically does not contain resin.
The disadvantages include a porous loose structure and susceptibility to decay, so the linden must be treated with protective impregnations;

from pine - is the most popular due to its low cost, attractive appearance (it has a beautiful, pronounced pattern) and resistance to decay. The disadvantages include the ability to release resin. Moreover, this phenomenon can be observed for some time even after thorough drying of the board;

from larch - it will be distinguished by high strength, comparable to oak products. In addition, larch has one more important quality- resistance to moisture. This wood practically does not rot, so it is often used for exterior decoration.
Of the shortcomings, only high cost can be distinguished;

oak - this material belongs to the elite class, which is associated with the highest performance and attractive appearance. If you want to finish the house once and for all life, then oak lining is what you need. True, its cost, as it is not difficult to guess, is the highest.

Another an important factor choice is the quality of the lining. According to this parameter, it is divided into several varieties:

I must say that there is still a third grade, however, it is not suitable for home decoration, so we will not consider it.

When choosing a material, pay attention to the lining profile, which can imitate timber, logs or even siding. True, the choice depends solely on the interior design that you want to end up with and personal preferences.

Below are the prices for some types of lining:

Based on the above information, everyone can decide for himself which lining to choose for interior decoration.

Finishing technology

The interior decoration of the house with clapboard includes several stages:

Let's start with this work in order.

Stage 1: preparation of materials

To finish finishing country house lining inside, in addition to the lining itself, you will need the following materials:

wooden slats about 2 mm thick;
kleimers - special fasteners for lining.

If you also plan to insulate the walls from the inside, then you should prepare:

insulation;
vapor barrier film;
bars for assembling the frame.

Insulation of the house from the inside, for a number of reasons, should be considered as a last resort if it is not possible to perform insulation from the outside or if the external insulation is not effective enough.

Before purchasing all the materials, you need to calculate the quadrature of the surfaces that you are going to sheathe with clapboard. To calculate the materials, you can use the online calculator.

Stage 2: preparing the walls

If the walls of the house are brick, block or concrete, then before finishing them, it is necessary to perform the following preparatory steps:

first remove all elements that may interfere with further work- these are shelves, hanging cabinets, a decorative element, etc .;
if there are areas with peeling plaster on the surface, tiles or others finishing material, they need to be removed.

If you are preparing a wooden house for lining with clapboard, the work is done a little differently:

after dismantling the hinged elements, it is necessary to process wooden walls antiseptic composition. The agent should be applied according to the instructions on the package;
if there are gaps between the crowns, they must be insulated using tow, twine, polyurethane cords or other insulation.

Here, in fact, are all the nuances of preparing the walls.

Stage 3: installation of the frame

In order to qualitatively mine the lining inside the house, you need to properly install it. It is necessary to approach its arrangement especially responsibly if the house is to be insulated. In this case, the work is done like this:

First of all, you need to make a ventilation gap. To do this, you need to attach rails to the walls. You need to arrange them horizontally in the form of belts with a step of about 50 cm;

then a vapor barrier film must be attached to the crate. At the same time, it is very important to place it tightly, moreover, the canvases should overlap each other by 10 cm. The joints can be glued with adhesive tape;
now you need to fix the frame racks. To fix them, you can use metal corners.
During the installation process, the most important thing is to position the racks vertically and in the same plane. To do this, first install the extreme bars from the corners at the same distance from the wall. Then between them you need to pull the threads and set the intermediate racks along them.
The distance between the bars should be a centimeter or two less than the width of the mats;

then in the space between the racks you need to lay a heater;
then a vapor barrier film is attached to the frame according to the scheme described above;
at the end of the work, it is necessary to make a counter-lattice of laths with a thickness of about 2 cm. Keep in mind that the counter-lattice should be located perpendicular to the position of the lining.

In order for the ventilation gap to work, it is necessary to make air ducts in the wall below and under the visor, i.e. small holes. They can be filled with mineral wool and closed with a mesh.

If the walls are not insulated from the inside, it is enough just to fix the slats perpendicular to the lining. Keep in mind that the slats must also be in the same plane, otherwise the walls will turn out to be uneven.

As for the ceiling, the principle of mounting the frame is the same - wooden slats are attached to the slabs or floor beams, which are leveled. True, in some cases the ceiling in a wooden house is intentionally made with open beams. In this case, the slats are installed in the space between the beams.

Stage 4: lining installation

The instructions for mounting the lining on the walls are quite simple. As an example, consider the process of mounting the lining in a vertical position, since most often it is installed in this way:

first of all, the boards must be cut according to the height of the room;

now you can start sheathing the frame, starting from the corner. Place the board in a vertical position on the level, and attach it to the crate with self-tapping screws, screwing them from the side of the spike. Pre-drill the holes to prevent the board from cracking.
From the side of the groove, the lining is attached to the frame with the help of special fasteners. They provide concealed installation. Kleimers are attached to the frame with small nails or self-tapping screws;

In the photo - the docking of the lining between each other

the second board must be docked with the first in the lock, and then fixed in the same way from the side of the groove with clamps. According to this principle, the entire wall is sheathed;
the last board must be cut in width from the side of the groove, and attached to the frame with self-tapping screws. The latter should be placed closer to the corner;

after sheathing all the walls, decorative wooden corners are attached to the corners. You can fix them with carnations with bitten off hats;
then you need to perform slopes. To do this, fasten the slats along the perimeter of the openings, and attach the lining to them according to the standard scheme.
You can learn more about the installation of slopes from other articles on our portal dedicated to this topic;

at the end of the work, install wooden corners around the perimeter of the openings.

Now, according to the same scheme, lining of the ceilings with clapboard is performed. The joints of the ceiling with the walls can be hidden both with wooden corners and with special wooden ceiling plinths.

In the same way, the house is finished with clapboard from the outside. As a rule, the facades of wooden houses are finished in this way.

Upon completion of the work, the lining should be treated with a protective impregnation or varnished. This will make the surface even more attractive, and will also protect the material from all sorts of negative influences.

Here, in fact, is all the information on how to finish the inside of the house with a wooden clapboard.

Conclusion

Sheathing the house with clapboard from the inside is carried out simply and quickly. The most important thing is to properly prepare the surface and ensure flat surface frame. As for fastening the lining, this procedure is easiest to perform using clamps.

One of the best options exterior finish is the sheathing of the house with clapboard outside. Thanks to this material, your home will begin new life, in a new guise. Although it differs from, but nevertheless, such a finish will allow not only to give the building a beautiful appearance but will also improve sound and thermal insulation. But for the correct work, you need to know how to choose the right lining, and how the outer lining of the lining is performed.

Types of lining

First you need to study the varieties of this material. First of all, there are two types:

. Helps create quality coating, which will last for many years, because it does not corrode. It should also be noted that high level moisture resistance and low attention requirements, i.e. no need for additional care.
Wooden. It has a rather beautiful appearance. There are also good soundproofing qualities and low level thermal conductivity.

Considering wooden samples in more detail, two subspecies can be distinguished, these are ordinary and eurolining. This division is caused by a large abundance of imports of the material, subject to its significant difference in quality and types of wood used in production.

It should also be noted that the material foreign production differs in higher quality, and some kind of geometric solution.

How to choose lining

Speaking about the choice of material for clapboard lining, you should pay attention to some factors that determine the quality of the product:

First of all, if you choose wooden lining is the humidity. This indicator should not exceed 15%, if it is higher, then under the influence environment after some time, the process of shrinkage will occur, this in turn will big influence on the appearance (slits will form, deformation will occur and the exterior finish will be damaged).
The next factor is the integrity of the material. In no case should you accept products with defects or any damage.
Also, for wooden products, it is necessary to pay attention to knots, their number should be minimal.

Exterior cladding of the house

The clapboard lining process itself is divided into seven main stages, each of which is quite important, so the following can be distinguished:

preparation of materials;
vapor barrier device;
preparation and installation of the frame;
heat and waterproofing of the surface;
installation of an additional frame;
sheathing material.

Each of the points must be treated as responsibly as possible, any neglect can adversely affect the final result. But let's go directly to work and consider each of the stages separately.

Preparation of materials

The first thing to start with is the preparation of materials for the work. Here is the minimum list of materials that will be needed:

Vapor barrier. For its arrangement, foil, polyethylene or roofing material can be used.
Wooden slats and boards. Needed for arranging the frame and fastening insulating materials.
Mineral wool boards are most often used as thermal insulation.
Waterproof film.
And lining for lining.

The calculation of the amount of each of the materials is carried out individually, depending on the surface area of the finishing of which will be carried out.

Vapor barrier device

Going directly to the process, the vapor barrier device begins. As already mentioned, foil, polyethylene or roofing felt can serve as it.

The main tasks for which it is equipped include facade ventilation.

The device is carried out as follows:

Wooden slats are provided, which are vertically fixed.
The vapor barrier is directly attached to them.
After fixing, ventilation holes are equipped at the top and bottom of the coating.

Frame installation

The next step is the frame device. It is made by hand from boards. Lumber is used with a thickness of 4-5 centimeters and a width of 10 cm.

The boards are fastened vertically with their side to the wall with anchors. The distance between them depends on the size of the insulation, and should be less than 2-3 centimeters.

Thermal and waterproofing device

The next step is the installation of insulating materials.

The first is fastening. For its arrangement, mineral wool slabs 5 centimeters thick are used. The insulation is laid in 2 layers so that there are no gaps between them. In this case, each layer must be equipped taking into account the displacement of the joints, i.e. each slab of the second layer should lie centered on the joint of the first. Additional mount usually not required, since the material is sufficiently elastic and is able to hold itself between the frame boards.

After that, the waterproofing material is fixed. A special film is used as it, it does not have the ability to hold back steam, but it does not allow moisture to pass through. Its fastening is carried out using construction stapler. At the same time, each segment of the film is overlapped with the previous one by at least 5 centimeters and is additionally glued with adhesive tape.

Important! By its structure, the film is double-sided, while one of the sides is smooth, the second is rough. For the most rational use, it is necessary to lay the smooth part to the insulation, while the rough part will be turned to the lining.

The device of the frame of the second level

After arranging the surface insulation, it is necessary to install an additional frame.

To create it, wooden slats 3-4 centimeters thick are nailed over the original base and, accordingly, onto the waterproofing.

This solution ensures good ventilation, and also prevents the appearance of moisture. Also, at the bottom of the structure, it is necessary to provide a metal mesh, in order to avoid the penetration of various kinds of insects and rodents under the skin.

Exterior lining

The time has come for the most significant and time-consuming stage of work in the implementation, and this is directly lining the house with clapboard from the outside. It is carried out as follows:

The preparation of the material is carried out, cutting the boards to the desired size.
The cladding process itself begins from the bottom, the first board is laid with the groove up. In the absence of the need for alignment, the material is fixed on the frame.
Next, the next board is laid, and it is driven into the groove with a hammer, after which an additional one is also carried out.
Further consolidation is carried out in the same way.
When the fixing is completed, it is necessary to paint the surface, or cover it with a special solution.

This kind of impregnation will give the surface a more aesthetic appearance, and make it resistant to external influences.

Important! In the case of painting, the surface must first be sanded.

For some types of paint, for example, oil, it is necessary to pre-treat the surface, this is done by applying drying oil, preferably in 2 layers, while it will be necessary to wait for complete drying, and then continue to work.

Conclusion:

By itself, the process of lining the house with clapboard from the outside is quite laborious, and requires considerable effort. But despite this, the result cannot but rejoice. After watching the video on how the sheathing work is carried out, you will understand that everything is quite simple.

In today's construction markets, a wide variety of materials for the exterior of the house, but lining has been in the greatest demand lately. This is due to the fact that this material is the most affordable and easy to install. Thanks to the lining, you can give any home a modern aesthetic look and protect it from the effects of the external environment. But in order for the dwelling to please with its comfort and warmth, you need to know how to sheathe the house with clapboard from the outside.

The main advantages of this finishing material:

long service life;
with high-quality processing, resistance to decay increases;
ease and simplicity in processing;
increases heat and sound insulation of the building.

Types and features of lining

Lining is divided into classes that reflect the quality of the product. Therefore, the higher the class, the better the product is processed, the less availability knots. But in general, the class determines the quality of the wood itself, since the board processing process is the same - sawing, drying.

When lining with a clapboard on the outside, it must be taken into account that each material made of wood becomes smaller in size during drying. There is a possibility that the boards after finishing will lose their adhesion to each other and a gap will form. To avoid such misunderstandings, the boards must be kiln dried.

All cladding material is divided into:

simple lining;
eurolining.

All the difference lies only in the processing of the material. Euro lining has its advantages, such as:

smooth surface;
excellent geometry;
little presence of natural moisture;
the grooves in the joint are much deeper.

Eurolining is very easy and quick to update by treating the surface of the boards decorative wax. Due to these properties, it is considered one of the economical sheathing materials, in addition, more durable.

How to fix lining panels for exterior decoration?

A more aesthetic option is the sheathing of the house, when each of the boards is attached to the formwork using special nails or self-tapping screws. Fastening is done through a comb. As soon as the board is attached, a groove of the next board is put on its crest and the entire lining is mounted according to this principle.

There is one disadvantage of fastening boards with nails and screws. Since the tree has the ability to dry out, fastener caps can stick out after shrinkage. But such a problem can be avoided by using special clamps for fastening. They are put on the comb and attached to the crate. Such fastening has its own advantage - the boards remain undamaged by nails, which means that the service life is extended.

Marking and installation of the frame. Before sheathing the house, the walls are marked and the frame is installed. It is also possible that the lining can be sewn directly directly to the walls, but their surface is rarely even, which is why a frame is needed.

The outer walls are sheathed with clapboard in a horizontal position, and the bars must be installed vertically.

The bars for the frame are nailed to the wall, maintaining a gap of 0.5-1.5 m in relation to each other. The optimal distance is 1 m. If the distance is too large, then during shrinkage the grooves may not match, the boards will pop out and deformation will occur. During sheathing, the plane, which is formed from the bars, must be located on the same level. To do this, they are installed using a level and, if necessary, pieces of slats are placed under them so that the future wall is even.

Sheathing the frame with lining boards

Sheathing with clapboard is made from the bottom up, starting from any corners. The first board is nailed from below, after setting it in level and so that the spike looks up. The 2nd board is put on with a groove on the spike of the bottom board. During the installation of the 2nd board, it is necessary to press the wedges along both edges and the center as tightly as possible to the bottom board. The 2nd plank is attached using a pre-selected method. As mentioned above, you can use self-tapping screws, nails or kleimers. After fastening, the pegs are pulled out and the 3rd board is mounted in the same way.

When clapboard lining is performed, the spike must be placed up. This must be observed so that atmospheric precipitation does not fall into the grooves of the sheathing material and the process of decay does not occur.

When door and window openings are sheathed, a crate is arranged around them.

If the size of the sheathed facade does not allow the use of full-length boards, then they can be fixed in a joint, which is then decorated with a rail. Installation of lining can be done in a herringbone pattern or in a checkerboard pattern.

To provide additional thermal insulation, after installing the frame, insulation material can be laid between the bars. But this must be thought out in advance, since the interval between the bars should be equal to the size of the insulation. If insulation will be laid, it is necessary to make a device ventilation ducts and vapor barrier.

Sheathing clapboard can be made and plastic material. Plastic panels for finishing outside, they are mounted similarly to wooden material.
