Subtleties of mounting eurolining

Lining gained great popularity due to its technical characteristics. If we compare it with ordinary lining, then eurolining has a higher cost, but, despite this shortcoming, this finishing building material is in great demand among the owners. However, many are interested in the question of how eurolining is carried out. Before getting acquainted with the independent installation of finishing material, it is first necessary to study the characteristics of the raw materials.

Lining is a wall paneling made of wood. Production technology meets European quality standards.

The main distinctive characteristic of eurolining from identical finishing building materials is the presence of grooves on the sides of the building material. Such channels have a dual purpose. During the period of exploitation the material is provided with the best ventilation.This is especially important for rooms where the conditional humidity of the air prevails, which varies over a wide range (baths, saunas, hallways). As well as the presence of grooves facilitates the installation of hidden electrical wiring and other communications.

The advantages of such finishing building materials include:

• highly stable product parameters;
• antiseptic special coating products;
• ground surface of the material;
• simplified installation of products on various surfaces;
• there is the possibility of dyeing products in any shade;
• easy cutting of materials for any desired size.

The disadvantages of building materials include some qualities of wood:

• the tree gives in well to burning;
• without special treatment, there is a risk of mold and mildew;
• expensive building material.

Euro lining can be treated with specialized varnishes, paints, oils, decorative plaster mixture or glue up with wallpaper. But the latter option is not very often used, because the natural color of products creates a favorable atmosphere in any room.

Due to the advantages of finishing building materials, it is possible to determine with accuracy the amount of the necessary material for installation. But also Euro-lining can be used for both external and internal work.

The fixing of eurolining can be performed in various ways.

Let us consider demanded mounting methods in more detail.

• Screws. In this case, the material is fastened from the side where the spike is located. The size of the locking elements should vary from 1 to 1.5 cm. After twisting the screws, they need to be covered by means of a dowel. At the end of the finish, all protruding elements are cut off, and the surface is carefully ground. To work with screws will need a drill. The disadvantage of using screws is the risk of splitting products under the drill.
• The hidden fixture by means of brackets. The initial product lining set to the right corner, cutting to the required size. Further, it is fixed by means of specialized brackets (kleimer). They securely fix the finishing building materials to the crate.The disadvantages of using staples are the high cost of production and the fact that it is necessary to have a certain skill and experience to work with these tools.
• Nails This method of fastening is identical with the method of fixing the lining by means of cleats. But in this situation, using thin galvanized nails. Heads of nails should be driven as deeply as possible into the finishing product; otherwise, such protruding parts will prevent the fixing of subsequent elements of the wall paneling.

Even an inexperienced master can install eurolining, the main thing is that all the rules and regularities for laying finishing building materials are followed. Before embarking on the styling process, it is necessary to stock up with all the necessary tools that will be needed in the work, as well as explore the installation options for finishing building materials.

Sheath walls or ceiling can be a variety of ways.

• Horizontally. This cladding method involves the installation of eurolining from the top of the wall. The final lining is trimmed to the desired size. When a hole appears between the floor and the wall, it is covered with a decorative plinth.
• Perpendicular. Such a variation of the installation does not allow a large amount of moisture to accumulate inside the structure.
• Diagonally. In this case, begin fixing products from the corner of the wall, the subsequent strips are cut to the desired size by jigsaw.
• Mixed type of masonry. For this laying will require a certain skill and experience, a beginner to perform a combined type of installation will be quite difficult. Despite the complexity of the work, the final result of the installation will please you with an unusual pattern.

Before mounting the structure, stock up with special fixing elements. Basically, 30 brackets (cleats) are used for 1 m2 of eurolining, but the masters recommend purchasing parts with a margin. The fasteners must be of high quality. It is forbidden to use mechanisms containing damage and irregularities. Thickness should be no more than 1 mm.When buying these mechanisms, you need to make sure that the clamps are covered with anti-corrosion special coating.

Facing by eurolining can be carried out both on walls, and on previously prepared wooden or metal crates. The metal frame is much more expensive than wooden slats, but this design is a reliable basis for cladding material.

Basically, walls made of brick or concrete are sheathed without crates. In this case, between the finishing building material and the base surface is installed insulating material. And also, in order to simplify the installation of the facing material, the OSB plate can be fixed to the walls. On this basis, the products will serve for a long time. OSB stove in this case will serve as a thermal insulating material.

First of all, before installing the cladding, it must be treated with an antiseptic. To prevent deformation of products from high humidity,Experts recommend to maintain the finishing product in the room where the installation will be carried out, it is necessary so that the wall panel will acclimatize. When laying adjacent products, small gaps should be made where the spike should be located at the top. Such installation will not allow to accumulate a large amount of condensate. But also for the work will require a vapor barrier material that is mounted on top of the insulation.

Despite the complexity of installation, this installation has its advantages. In this case, the boards are able to breathe.

Wall cladding with eurolining is performed not only in the house, it is often used to finish balconies and loggias.

• If you decide to install a wooden crate, then this building material is pre-impregnated with a protective coating to extend the life of the structure. It is possible to assemble the system only after complete drying of the impregnation. Reiki are mounted at a distance of 80 cm from each other in the direction from top to bottom. Before wall cladding, it is necessary to check the installation of the batten using a level.The installation of the batten depends on the type of lining fixing chosen. With horizontal installation of products, the rails are nailed upright or vice versa.
• If necessary, insulate the room on top of the crate is placed insulating material (mineral wool, polystyrene foam). For those rooms where prevailing high humidity, you should not only warm the walls, but also make waterproofing. For these purposes, you can use plastic wrap, which must be nailed to the crate with a construction stapler. Insulating building material is glued to the concrete surface with an adhesive. It is important that the film was laid overlap (10 cm), and the joints are taped, thus creating the best waterproofing in the room.

• The first board is installed with the utmost uniformity in the right corner. The alignment is checked using the building level. It is important to fulfill this condition, because the first product is the leading one, the further arrangement of all elements will depend on its position. Following is the fastening of the strap in any way.
• Next, the next product is inserted with a groove into the previous board, and then nailed along the board. Now it is necessary to check the evenness of the vertical position through the level. If any irregularities occur, the board must be reinstalled. The laying angle should be 90 degrees.
• The finishing board is cut according to the required parameter. For decorating a corner, a special material (wooden corner) is used, through which all inaccuracies and flaws are hidden. Regardless of the chosen method of fastening the finishing material, the last lining is fixed by means of nails, which have small parameters of the cap.
• The ceiling lining produced by a similar method. Only upon completion of the work, the joint of the walls and the ceiling surface is covered with a special decorating baguette in order to give an aesthetic look to the whole structure.

Before embarking on wall lining with eurolining, you should familiarize yourself with some rules that will further help in the installation of this type of product.

The final result depends entirely on the correct actions.

• Performing the calculations of the required amount of building material, you need to use the correct parameters of the products. If the real width of eurolining is taken into account, then in the end result the difference will be about 5%. Such an error depends on the available grooves, which are installed partly in the previous finishing building material, as a result of which the working surface decreases.
• For a small room, eurolining on the ceiling is mounted so that it is located along the window construction, and in this case, you need to use the combined method of installation.
• When installing horizontal eurolining, attention should be paid to the placement of the studs, they should be located in the upper part. And also it is necessary to constantly check through the construction level the correctness of the laying of products. The result should be perfectly flat corners and immaculate facade surface.
• Finishing material after laying can be painted in any shade. But before this procedure should be treated products with a primer.
• When installing eurolining in areas where sockets and switches are located, they must first be de-energized.
• When installing the batten, do not make large openings between the slats; in this case, the facing material may bend.
• Installation of eurolining should be performed at a temperature not lower than 5 degrees and at a humidity of not more than 60%.

There are many options for decorating rooms with wooden clapboard. The main thing is to apply a sufficient amount of building material, without weighing down the structure and not creating discomfort in the room.

Thanks to the lining of the walls with eurolining in the bedroom creates coziness and comfort. You can focus only on one of the walls, giving originality to the whole style. The natural color of finishing materials is an excellent background for paintings and galleries. If you decide to carry out the eurolining, then opt for warm and soothing colors. In this room will look great beige, light blue, turquoise, pink hues.

If the living room is of small dimensions, salvation is the use of light matte or glossy eurolining for wall and ceiling cladding. This combination allows you to visually expand the space.As a decor, you can use the multi-colored lights located under the ceiling. To create an unusual image, you can paint the wall paneling with a special compound that gives the surface an aging effect. If there is a fireplace in the room, then thanks to this decor a calm and soulful atmosphere will prevail. For the guest room, you can use the most extraordinary colors, it all depends on your tastes and preferences.
