How to paint the lining inside the house with paint. We paint the lining in the country: types of coatings, interesting ideas, technology

An increasing number of homeowners, when choosing a finishing coating for interior walls, prefer natural material - wood. This choice is not surprising, because wood combines many useful properties: environmental friendliness, health benefits, beautiful appearance. To these qualities are added excellent operational qualities: light weight, good sound and heat insulation. The simplest and most affordable wooden finishing material is lining, a thin cladding panel with a thorn-groove connection. Painting the lining inside the house is a necessary stage in the finishing of housing, which allows you to give the interior a complete look and solve several additional tasks.

Lining in the interior: a stylish living room of a country house

On the need to process lining

Many sincerely believe that wood-paneled walls are beautiful in their natural appearance and do not need additional processing. Knowledgeable people have several valid objections to this; they indicate the need to protect sheathed walls from the following factors:

Actions of ultraviolet. If a wall covered with clapboard is regularly exposed to sunlight, over time the wood will darken and the walls in the room will begin to look different.

Color changes. If the house has an unimportant ventilation system, the air begins to stagnate. In places of high humidity, microorganisms develop and the wooden lining may turn blue.

Structure damage. In a room with excess moisture in wood, insect pests easily start up, mold settles; this causes rotting and destruction of the finishing layer.

Mechanical damage. A layer of paintwork will take on scratches and bumps and will not spoil the beauty of the walls.

From the fire. It is considered reasonable and prudent to protect wooden surfaces from the rapid spread of flames.

Unprotected lining - an easy target for destructive factors

Sometimes the owners think about changing the interior. The wall paneling is easy to update - there are dozens of coating options and hundreds of shades that allow you to make familiar rooms unrecognizable.

There is no definite answer to the question of how to paint wooden panels inside a country house. The choice is determined by the goals - whether the owners only want to protect wooden walls, refresh dull surfaces, or radically change the color. Materials suitable for lining processing can be divided into two types: protective and decorative.

Protective compounds

There are many ways to protect a wooden surface from the damaging effects of external factors. Substances that can protect the panel covering include the following substances:

flame retardants. This group of compositions is recommended for use in rooms with wooden walls or coatings. Flame retardant impregnation is not able to stop burning, but can significantly delay the spread of fire. This time will be enough to leave the premises and call firefighters, and, perhaps, to cope with the source of fire on their own.

Painted lining is protected from solar ultraviolet radiation

Flame retardants practically do not change the appearance of the wooden surface, and during operation they do not emit harmful substances.

Antiseptics. Agents with bactericidal properties are used in the fight against biothreat - they are used as a preventive measure, but they are also effective if the infection of the fungus has already begun. The inconvenience of antiseptic treatment is that it must be repeated periodically, since the compositions tend to evaporate. Recently, complex impregnations have appeared that not only cope with mold and wood-boring beetles, but also perform the functions of varnish and stain. Such “three in one” antiseptics create a film on the surface, cost more, but additionally protect the lining from moisture and give it a spectacular look.

Treatment of lining with stain

Linseed oil. It is used both for the manufacture of quick-drying varnishes and drying oils, and as an independent impregnation with valuable qualities. Oil is a natural agent that makes the lining water-repellent and makes it insensitive to microorganisms. The oil penetrates deep into the material without creating a film on the surface and allowing the wood to breathe. A surface impregnated with linseed oil shows the texture more clearly and acquires a light shade. Impregnation with linseed oil, although relatively inexpensive, will cost more than treatment with stain or varnish.

Drying oil. There are natural, synthetic and combined drying oils. Every year they are used less and less - not the most attractive set of qualities affects: over time, the surface soaked with drying oil turns yellow and becomes sticky.

Primer. Before using varnish or paint, the wooden surface is treated with a primer. Such a base protects the wood from moisture and reduces the consumption of paints and varnishes. The decorative layer is more even and attractive in appearance.

The use of a primer improves the quality of the base coat

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer home finishing and insulation services. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

Bleachers. A group of products that allow you to get rid of stains of various nature that appear on a wooden surface. Bleach is applied to the problem area, and then washed off with water.

Lucky. The varnish has not only protective, but also decorative functions, which is why it is often chosen for processing walls and ceilings from lining. One of the best options for indoor use is acrylic lacquer. Usually it is applied in two layers - the first is transparent, and the second can be tinted. Water-based varnish (aqualak) can create different effects - the walls after its application become glossy, matte or semi-matte. Aqualac creates a vapor-permeable film on the lining, often with protection from ultraviolet radiation and microorganisms.

Wax. Wax mixtures are a classic remedy with effective protection. They give the wood a semi-gloss sheen and are a good alternative to varnishes. Manufacturers offer hard wax (it is heated before use), as well as liquid and water-based (ready-to-use). The wax composition is difficult to distribute evenly, but the preliminary application of a primer greatly facilitates this process.

Waxed lining is always in fashion

Decorative (covering) products

Decorative means are those that make the color and texture of the wood finish invisible. Sometimes they are used to hide a wooden surface that has darkened from time to time. Decorative options for painting the lining inside the house are distinguished by a pleasant variety; These include the following types of paints and varnishes:

Oil paint. An old, tried and tested way to protect and freshen up a wall is to cover it with oil paint, which creates a dense moisture-proof layer. The downside is the long drying of the paint and its pungent smell. Because of this, it is recommended to perform work in the warm season, when the walls dry out and the smell disappears as quickly as possible.

Acrylic (acrylate) paint. In many ways, it's a better quality, easy-to-work material than oil-based paint. It does not lose color and gloss, creates a waterproof elastic film on the surface, which does not violate the integrity during temperature fluctuations. The paint is easy to use - it dries quickly and weathers.

Clapboard covered with acrylic paint in the interior of the living room

Having opted for painting the lining inside the house with acrylic paint, it would be right to use it to decorate the walls in the bedroom and the nursery - it is absolutely harmless. The only thing that spoils the impression of acrylic paint is its high price.

Acrylic scuba tank. An eco-friendly product that is gaining popularity is able to simultaneously decorate and protect the walls from the lining. The product has a high degree of protection against microorganisms, does not have an unpleasant odor after drying, and when applied lies flat, without marks and streaks. Painting the lining inside the house with acrylic scuba diving has its own separate plus - a wide palette of colors that allows you to create an original interior.

Alkyd varnish. This type of paint and varnish products is used mainly in rooms that need regular wet cleaning (kitchen, hallway, living room). Colored varnish is resistant to abrasion, colorless - also to water. Minus: alkyd varnishes dry for a long time and are expensive.

Decorative glaze. It is used as an independent decorative composition. Can be transparent or colored; in both cases, it favorably emphasizes the texture of wooden panels and protects them from moisture.

Opaque enamel. It is beneficial to use it if it is necessary to hide defects on the lining; the layer is dense and solid.

Painting: features and nuances

Having chosen how to paint the wooden lining inside the house, they begin the painting process. In order for the result to be of high quality and to please the owners for many years, the following preparatory work must be performed:

stock up on tools. You will need paint brushes and a tray, the selected paint and varnish material, a roller with interchangeable nozzles, a bucket, fine-grained sandpaper and protective gloves.

Clear Surface. The lining is cleaned of dust, dirt, old coating with a hard brush or pumice stone, then treated with sandpaper.

Degrease wood. Surface treatment with an alkaline detergent will improve the adhesion (adhesion) of the paint to the wood.

Carry out grinding. You can level the surface with pumice stone, sandpaper or a sanding grid. Previously, defects are sealed with putty, the resin is removed with a solvent.

Minimum set for painting wood panels

Pre-treat lining. A primer is applied, after it dries - antiseptic impregnation. The process can be accelerated if you purchase a combined composition that combines both means.

paint the walls. After waiting for the primer and antiseptic to dry, proceed to painting. Paint for lining inside the house is applied in two or three layers. The number of layers depends on the material chosen and is indicated in the instructions. It is possible to qualitatively paint wooden panels before they are mounted on the walls, but this is not always possible (a large awning or canopy is required for the procedure).

About painting the lining in different colors in the following video:

Some subtleties of the workflow will help make the painting better. When processing wooden panels, the following points are taken into account:

Reduce painting cost the use of paints and varnishes with a complex action will help. Tinted varnish or oil-wax is more expensive, but the effect of its use will be higher.

Pre-impregnation lining should be made from all sides, this will greatly enhance the protective effect.

When working with oil paint its tendency to change color (burnout) should be taken into account. So that over time the color change does not catch the eye and does not spoil the interior, it is worth choose darker, more saturated shades.

Painting is best not done on a hot day., since the coating will dry out too quickly, and lie down unevenly (spots of different saturation may remain).

To get the coverage uniform in color, mixture during operation is necessary stir occasionally.

The coating is applied along the fibers of the lining

To the color of the walls was uniform, you can add the color of the finishing material (paint) to the primer.

When choosing a paint composition take into account the total costs: not only its cost, but also the recommended number of layers, as well as paint consumption per 1 m².

The choice of color for painting lining

Walls sheathed with clapboard are the backdrop for creating the interior of a country house, so choosing the right shade is no less important than choosing the optimal paint and varnish composition. So that the choice of color for wooden panels does not violate the harmony of design, they are guided by the following rules:

For walls choose a shade that differs no more than a few tones from the color of the ceiling and floor. Contrasting transitions will harm the overall style (only if the interior is not designed in any of the avant-garde styles).

White color- a classic way to expand the space and make it lighter. It adds elegance to the interior, goes well with other shades and well hides surface defects.

Warm colors are welcome in the design of the bedroom

In design living room and kitchen on the walls, trimmed with clapboard, look best light and warm colors: cream, peach, brown.

Nursery interior allows the use bright colors(for which high-quality and safe acrylate paints are ideal). V bedroom walls, sheathed with wooden panels, are tried to be varnished with natural shades or soothing colors - purple, beige, honey. For wall decoration Cabinet suitable gray-blue or brown-green gamma.

Conclusion

Walls sheathed with clapboard are a spectacular and practical way of interior decoration of a country house. In order for the coating to turn out to be long-term, careful preliminary preparation of the wooden panels is necessary. Qualitatively processed and painted lining will emphasize the interior design and save you from too frequent repairs.

What and why is the lining painted?

The lining may need to be painted, varnished or other compounds for several reasons, which determine the choice of a particular tool:

The tree needs protection, which can be different. For example, for lining on a balcony, you need to think about enhanced protection against UV rays that cause photoaging (greying of wood). Some compounds make the lining more fire and moisture resistant, protect against pests.

Pine is often used as a material for interior decoration. If left untreated, the wood may darken over time.

It is necessary to preserve the color of the tree and make the drawing more expressive.
It is required to change the color of the lining, but at the same time preserve the structure of the wood.
The interior of the room does not involve the use of natural wood color.

For staining or other processing of lining, you can use the following tools:

protective compositions. They can be designed for different purposes. To process the lining on the balcony, especially located on the sunny side, it is better to use the composition for outdoor work. For the ceiling and walls in the room, a tool for interior work is suitable.

Important! When choosing a protective agent, carefully read the information on the package. Some compounds paint the tree in pink and green, which can only be painted over with a very dark tint or opaque paint.

Stains (compositions for toning). They give the lining a certain shade, while maintaining the wood texture. By applying a different number of layers, you can adjust the intensity of staining.

Lucky. Scuba diving is best suited for lining - water-based compositions that allow you to maintain the vapor permeability of the material and protect the surface from the absorption of contaminants. Varnishes can be glossy, matte, semi-matte, contain bactericidal additives and UV filters, they can be added with color to change the shade of wood.

Paints. They can have a very different composition, designed to completely paint wood by creating a dense film on the surface.

Wax compounds. They can be solid, liquid, water, provide excellent protection, retain a pronounced structure of the tree.

Important! In order for the wax to lay down evenly, the surface of the lining must first be primed.

Special oils. They can be transparent and pigmented, protect the wood from dirt and abrasion, and emphasize the structure of the wood. They do not create a film on the surface, like varnishes, but penetrate into the top layer of wood. Create the effect of a matte finish or silky shine.

Depending on the purpose of application, these agents can be used either alone or in combination with each other. For example, impregnation and paint can be used to protect and obtain a uniform painted surface.

Choosing a paint

If we are talking directly about painting, you will need one of the following types of lining paint:

Oil paint. Penetrates deeply, protects from external influences, suitable for painting lining on the balcony. Disadvantages: takes a long time to dry, fades over time.
Alkyd enamel. Universal paint that creates a dense, most often glossy coating that is resistant to external influences and durable. The disadvantage is a poor choice of shades.
Acrylic water-based paint. It is used more often than others, creates a matte, translucent coating. When applied in a thin layer, it allows to preserve the structure of the tree.

Choose lining color

How to paint the lining, we found out, it's time to decide on a shade of paint. Many of the shortcomings of the room can be advantageously turned in the other direction if you “play with color” a little. Need to expand your space? Choose paint in white or light beige shades. But remember that they are prone to rapid contamination. A dark tone, on the contrary, will visually reduce the size of the room.

You can not make the ceiling, walls and floor contrasting in color. In the bedroom, it is best to leave natural wood, and to decorate the office, choose a paint of restrained tones.

Painting lining involves a certain sequence of actions that must be followed.

Cleaning from dirt and dust.
Surface grinding.
Application of antiseptic and primer.
Covering the lining with paint or other selected composition.

Ideally, the lining needs to be painted up to it, painting over each plank separately, it is extremely difficult to apply paint on the ceiling or walls already upholstered with lining with high quality. Finished surface painting is allowed only when the paint is updated.

Preparing the lining for painting

If the lining is painted for the first time, the front side of the individual boards is polished to smoothness using a sanding machine or sandpaper fixed on a bar.

It is better to take a spatula made of plastic, unlike metal counterparts, it does not leave scratches on the surface.

We apply a layer of drying oil, which will perform a protective function.
At the end, a primer is applied. It will protect the lining from temperature changes (if we are talking about an unheated balcony) and fix the putty already applied, in addition, it allows you to achieve a more even distribution of paint.

We paint according to all the rules

After finishing the surface preparation, it's time to figure out how to paint the lining.

Depending on the area, both a brush and a roller can be used.
Painting the lining with paint or a pigmented agent involves applying the composition in small portions. It is possible to moisten the brush abundantly only when using transparent impregnations and primers.

It is important to mix the paint thoroughly both before and during painting, so that the color will lay down evenly.

Movements must be made along the boards, applying the composition with strokes, and then rubbing and shading until a uniform coating is obtained.
It is better to apply several thin layers than one thick one.
When working with opaque paint or varnish, after the first layer has dried, it is necessary to sand the surface again.
Do not start painting a second time when the first layer has not yet dried.

In order not to be mistaken with the final result, you can first paint a small section of the board to check what color will turn out in the end.

Structure-preserving painting

How to paint the lining to change the color, but retain a pronounced woody pattern? You can use the brushing technique, which in this case involves processing the lining in several stages:

First, a pigmented oil, wax or azure is applied to the surface.
Then, the selected varnish or paint for lining is taken in a small amount, applied along the entire length of the board and gently shaded.
After 10 minutes, most of the oil is removed with a soft, lint-free cloth.

The result of such manipulations will be a bright and expressive wood pattern, emphasized by the pigment remaining in the grooves and depressions. This method is great when using lining in different interiors: country, Provence and many others.

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

The environmental friendliness and natural beauty of 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. Consider step by step how and what is better to cover (impregnate, process, paint).

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 manufacturers are guided by the European standard, which provides for mandatory primary processing 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. That is, 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;

maintaining room temperature in which it 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 sandpaper (sandpaper) or a metal brush.

Preparation of the operated (old) 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 it is necessary to paint previously painted, varnished surfaces, 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 blow dryer and a 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 personal protective equipment. After removing the surface layer, the lamellas should be washed with water or rubbed with white spirit.

Painting the lining is a simple task. If you have complete information about all the details of the choice and paint and its application, the process will be as simple as possible.

When painting exterior wooden walls, you need to consider the type of finishing material. Clapboard, timber imitation, wood siding are one and the same material. These finishing boards differ only in thickness and profile. For all these types of cladding, the same paints are suitable, which can be applied using any acceptable technique.

If the wall is built from timber or logs, a different approach is required to the choice of paint and how it is applied. You need to know about this before deciding how and with what to paint the walls of a wooden house.

Do not be afraid that after 2-3 years you will need to renovate or repaint the facade. If you know all the rules and secrets of the staining process, the facing layer will not lose its properties even after 10 years. Many manufacturers of paints and varnishes (LKM) give a guarantee for a longer period.

Important points to know

Most homeowners who are not familiar with the nuances of choosing and applying paint complain that the very next year after painting, the facade loses its attractiveness. The finishing layer begins to peel off and crack. All these troubles can be prevented.

But even among experts, few people know that in order to get an excellent result, you need to change the very approach to staining a tree. This job requires as much attention as painting a car. To obtain a durable facing coating, you need to perform several actions:

carefully prepare the tree;
prime the surface;
apply as many coats of paint as the manufacturer recommends.

Let's consider each of these processes in as much detail as possible.

How to properly prepare wood for staining

Drying lining

Careful preparation of wood includes several stages. The first of them is high-quality drying of the finishing material. If the lining is damp, the paint will not last more than 1-2 years on it. Already next season, its peeling and fading will become noticeable. The owner may decide that the quality of the paint or the inept hands of the workers are to blame for this, but in fact the reason is the improper preparation of the wood or ignoring this important step.

The board must be dry before painting. Permissible degree of humidity 15-20%. But it is not always possible to achieve such indicators, especially for those facades that are already lined. Masters recommend using this method: build a canopy over the walls to protect them from rain, and dismantle it after 3-4 weeks. During this time, the tree will lose a sufficient amount of moisture and it will be possible to start finishing work.

There is an opinion that the process of drying wood accelerates the application of a high-quality deep penetration antiseptic to it. These include Neomid 46 Bio.

Penetrating into the pores, the composition replaces moisture and the process of its evaporation is accelerated. For these purposes, you can use any preservative with which to protect the tree during the construction of the house. On average, these compounds act for 6-7 months, after which they spontaneously decompose into biologically safe substances.

How to check the degree of humidity lining

Cut out a piece of plastic film measuring 40/40 cm.
With the help of adhesive tape, it is attached to the lining so that there are no gaps.
Leave for 24 hours.
Assess the degree of humidity of the inner side of the polyethylene film.

If the surface of the polyethylene is wet to the touch, then the lining has not dried. Such wood cannot be painted.

Lining processing

An important point in preparing for painting is grinding the boards. All materials of average quality (grade B and below) need this procedure. Often on such wood one can notice “hairy” areas, profile irregularities, height differences in the area of knots. All of the above are problem areas, without eliminating which it is impossible to obtain a high-quality painted surface.

The easiest way is to process the facing material before it is laid on the walls. In this case, you can use various tools: a milling cutter with a cutter of the appropriate profile, angle grinder with an abrasive disc, thickness gauge. However, the use of mechanical processing does not eliminate the need for manual labor. All recesses and protrusions of the profile will have to be sanded with sandpaper.

If the lining is already fixed on the facade, a nylon abrasive brush and a grinder are used to process the wood. The grinding process is not fast, but it will allow you not to think about finishing the facade for 8-10 years.

Wood priming

After the lining acquires a flat and smooth surface, the wood must be primed. Do not delay this process for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to determine in advance the type of primer and purchase its required amount. There is an important point in this matter: it is not recommended to choose the most inexpensive composition. It will not be able to provide high-quality adhesion and will not adequately protect the wood from moisture.

High-quality primer often costs more than paint. This situation is observed in different product lines of Tikurilla. A competent manufacturer knows that the most important part of painting work is priming. It is its quality that determines the durability of the paintwork.

For external work, the following types of primers are suitable:

acrylic;
based on acrylic and silicone;
based on epoxy resins.

Regardless of the chemical composition of the primer, you need to choose those products on the packaging of which it is indicated that they are intended for facade work. Another important property that you need to pay attention to is the degree of penetration of the solution deep into the wood. On the primer it should be indicated: “deep penetration”.

Valtti Pohjuste - Valtti Pohjuste

It is not recommended to use alkyd compositions for facade work. They form a thin film on the surface of materials. It simultaneously protects the lining from pests and mold, and prevents moisture from escaping from the deep layers of wood. Therefore, the best choice is water-soluble primers, which include acrylic and (or) silicone.

When priming and painting the facade, special attention is paid to the south side of the house. It is more exposed to the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, on the north side of the house, the paint fades less and cracks less often.

The choice of paint for a wooden facade

Many homeowners make one mistake: they do not read carefully, or do not read at all what is written on a can of paint. This information contains the instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer, following which, you can achieve the desired result. But before it comes down to them, you need to decide on the type of paint. After that, you can begin to familiarize yourself with the nuances of its application.

It has been noticed that oil paints lose color saturation the fastest. They crack faster than others. The reason is the composition of these coatings and their viscosity. The latter property provides high covering ability, but does not guarantee the quality of the coating. Therefore, oil compositions are rarely used for finishing facades.

The best choice for outdoor use are quick-drying water-soluble acrylate paints. You can pay attention to the products of the Tikurilla company. This manufacturer has a wide range of coatings for facade work. Excellent reviews about the paints "Ultra" and "Pica Teho".

"Pika-Teho" acrylate paint

For regions with unstable climatic conditions, characterized by temperature fluctuations and cold winters, silicone-based facade paints are suitable. These compositions successfully withstand low and high temperatures, have a high degree of moisture resistance, and at the same time remain vapor-permeable. Silicone facade paint combines the best properties of acrylate and silicate compositions, forms a durable uniform coating.

Characteristics of facade coatings

The lining can be painted with stain, tinting impregnations and oils. Wax or varnish is used as a topcoat.

Methods for painting lining

Before choosing a staining method, you need to learn about those rules for performing work, without which it will not be possible to achieve a high quality surface finish. The main point is the timing of the work. The lining is painted no earlier than 3 days after the last rain. During this time, the wood will be able to dry completely.

The air temperature must be positive. The boundaries recommended by the manufacturers of paint and varnish materials are + 5 ° С - + 20 ° С. It is also important to consider the time of day. It is best to start staining at 10-11 am. By this time, the lining will be completely dry from the morning dew.

Lining painting techniques

The easiest way is to paint the lining before mounting it on the facade. In this case, you can get a uniform layer, without smudges. The paint is applied with a brush, roller or spray gun. Since the boards are long enough, the work is done in a spacious room or on the street. In any case, you need to do a little preparation.

If you decide to work indoors, you need to provide for the possibility of high-quality ventilation. The floor, furniture and household items are covered with plastic wrap. This is especially important if you plan to use an airbrush. Do not forget about your protection. First of all, you will need cotton gloves. If the paint will be applied by spraying, put on goggles.

Painting lining with a paint brush

The process of applying paint is most simple if you use a quality paint brush. The best choice is semi-rigid bristles, with a fairly soft and even edge. The choice of tool also depends on the scope of work. Synthetic bristle brushes are more durable.

The staining technique consists of a few simple steps.

Step 1. Open the paint container and mix the composition thoroughly using any convenient device. You can use a wooden lath of sufficient length.

Step 2 Immerse the brush in the paint for 1/3 of the length of the bristles.

Step 4 Slightly squeeze the bristles on the edge of the can.

Step 5 With light strokes, paint is applied to the tree.

Step 6 Repeat the process until all the boards have been painted.

Painting lining with a roller

Choose a narrow roller, equipped with a fur coat with a pile of medium length. You will need a paint tray, which is otherwise called a “paint bath” or “construction ditch”.

Step 1. Open the container and mix the paint.

Step 2 Pour the paint into a special tray.

Step 3 Immerse the roller in the paint to ½ the height of the roller.

Step 4 The roller is rolled along the corrugated beveled part of the cuvette. Thus, the paint is evenly distributed over the fur coat and the excess is squeezed out. One set of paint should be enough to paint 1-1.5 m 2 of lining.

step 5. The paint is applied by pressing the roller against the wood with a uniform force.

Step 6 Distribute the paint so that the surface is qualitatively painted over, and there are no smudges on it.

Step 7 Repeat the process.

The lining has a rather complex profile, so the edges of the boards will have to be painted over with a brush.

Painting lining with a spray gun

An airless sprayer can be used to apply the paint. This is the most successful way to perform finishing work with an already mounted facade. The spray method allows you to paint all hard-to-reach places. But areas near window and door openings need to be finished with a paint brush.

Apparatus such as low-pressure paint sprayers can also be used to apply paint. When working with these tools, it must be taken into account that some of the drops will settle on objects located near the workplace. This is because the output of paint from the nozzle of the apparatus is fan-shaped. Therefore, not all particles fall on the surface of the facade.

Working with a spray gun is more convenient than with a brush and roller. In addition, the staining process will be much faster.

Wood is an excellent finishing material, but over time, the appearance of an unprotected lining surface deteriorates. In this article, we will consider how the lining is painted so that it retains its qualities for a long time.

Why does the lining need to be painted?

Proper wall treatment will protect the surface from the appearance of mold, damage by insects, and damage to the appearance from exposure to high humidity.
