How profitable is painting the lining in white: we study the technology

Types and features of lining

Now lining is often used for interior work. But the decoration of the space is done with different types of material. They are:

1. Quarter lining. Each element is equipped with projections on the sides, which allows them to be overlapped.
2. Simple. It is characterized by the presence of fastenings "thorn-groove".
3. With tongue and groove. The material is intended for mounting on walls and ceilings. It looks like a regular grooved board, only in smaller sizes. The material is intended primarily for office space.
4. Euro lining. It resembles an edged board. On each side, the fragments are well processed. For connection, the “thorn-groove” system is used. In the production of such lining, conifers are used. This material does not grow fungus or mold, since there is a sample on the back of it, which provides an air outlet.
5. "American". This lining is characterized by an irregular rectangular shape. In the widest part of the fragment, there is a groove, thanks to which the effect of overlapping parts can be achieved.
6. "Finca". All elements are oval.
7. Block house. With its help, from the inside of the room, you can create an imitation of a rounded log. For fixing the lining, a crate is required. The material improves heat and sound insulation of rooms.

You can use the lining in the bath, sauna, living rooms, in the country. But if you are already tired of the natural color, then you can choose different paint options for decorating the surface. There are also substances that help protect the tree, increase its service life.

How is staining done

How to paint the lining so that the effect is long and impressive? For such an event, you will need a set of tools:

• A set of brushes and a roller. If possible, then a spray gun.
• Tray. To make it easier to pick up paint.
• Protective and decorative compounds.
• Sandpaper, stiff brush.
• It is better to provide for a stable stepladder and glasses to protect your eyes.

Using a spray gun allows you to faster paint the lining

Coloring consists of several stages. It is much more difficult when the work is carried out on the old surface. Then it becomes necessary to remove the old decorative layer and clean the surface well.

Stage one - preparation

The purchased products are checked for possible damage and deformation. It often happens that materials are purchased that belong to a lower class. They require a long preparation - processing is carried out with sandpaper, the cracks are covered with putty on wood. If dark spots are found on the surface, whitening is performed.

If the material has defects in the form of cracks, then they are eliminated with a putty.

Stage two - priming

It is necessary to cover the front side of the lining with primers. This will reduce the consumption of other solutions, increase adhesion, and also prevent the elements from being deformed.

At the same time, special attention is paid to knots, they are literally soaked in order to exclude the possibility of falling out if drying occurs

The primer improves adhesion when painting the lining

Stage three - impregnation

Now they apply protective impregnations. These are fire retardants and antiseptics. The impregnation is carried out over the entire surface. It must not be allowed that there are unpainted places

It is important to take into account that such products should not have extraneous (sharp) odors and change the color of the tree.

When applying a protective impregnation, care must be taken that no untreated areas are left

Stage four - staining

How to paint the lining inside the house? This procedure begins only after the material dries well from previous manipulations. The process is as follows:

1. The paint is prepared in advance. The solution must be well placed, because at the bottom there may be a sediment, which includes the main components.
2. A small portion of the composition is poured into a tray if a roller is used. For a brush, it is better to provide a container that is easy to carry. The use of a spray gun makes the work of higher quality, and the paint is poured into a special container.
3. It should be borne in mind that movements are performed along the fibers of the material. You can not linger in one place, the coating should be uniform.
4. Several coats are applied, this will provide an excellent decorative effect.

To obtain a good decorative effect, the paint should be applied in several layers.

Yet, how to cover the lining? This question is quite complex, the answer to it depends on many factors that are calculated on a purely individual basis. But it must be borne in mind that if the composition is used over large areas, then it must necessarily ensure the "breathing" of the material.

Preparation for painting

Before covering the lining with varnish or acrylic, it should be cleaned of dirt and degreased with an alkali-based solution, and then sanded with a flat pumice stone or a grinding wheel. This will require tools:

• a sponge and brush to remove dirt from the surface;
• roller, brush or spray for applying repair and brightening agents.

This operation leads to the loss of all the protective characteristics of the wood. To restore them, treatment with a disinfecting composition is necessary. It will not only be able to protect the wood, but also improve the quality of the varnish coating.

How to paint the lining correctly

Applying regular oil paint to renew the surface gives it an artificial shine and hides the natural grain of the wood. In addition, such coverage is short-lived and will soon require modernization. When using acrylic lacquer for wood-based panels:

• the original pattern is retained;
• the attractiveness of the appearance is ensured;
• a stable protection against moisture and weather changes is created;
• the service life of the cladding is extended (up to 8-10 years).

Depending on the degree of darkening, you can use the concentration of the solution in ready-made form or dilute it with water in a 1: 1 ratio. To avoid a difference in the tone of the coating, it is necessary to apply a test smear in an inconspicuous place. After that, the paint colors are selected.

The recovery procedure consists in the step-by-step execution of operations:

• surface cleaning;
• drying wood;
• antiseptic treatment;
• testing and shade selection;
• application of acrylic paint.

The final finishing with clapboard is quite often used in the repair of balconies and summer cottages. In order for the cladding to retain its beautiful natural appearance for a long time, you need to follow the rules for the operation of wood material and know how to lighten it. The correct bleaching method must be chosen to properly restore darkened panels. For this purpose, it is advisable to consult with specialists or read the instructions.

How to paint the lining inside: technology

Any type of paint can be used to paint the lining in "dry" rooms inside the house. Here you simply decide on the requirements for the decorative appearance of the surface. If the lining is dry, it is possible not to impregnate it with protective compounds, or choose paint / varnish / wax with appropriate additives. it can only be painted on one side, leaving the back unprocessed.

Paint each lining board separately

If the lining will be used in damp or unheated rooms, on the balcony, you must first soak it well with protective compounds from all sides, you can do it twice. Only after the impregnation has dried can it be painted, varnished, in general, given decorative properties. Another point: when installing the lining on a wall or ceiling, it has to be cut into pieces. Places of cuts in damp rooms must also be coated with the composition. It is not necessary to wait until it dries, but it is necessary to process it.

There is one very important nuance that many amateur decorators overlook. If you want to get a professional-level lining color, you need to process each board separately: sand, paint, dry, and only then collect the surface from the already painted lining. That is, to mount already fully processed boards on the wall or ceiling. Only with this approach, from any point, the surface of the lining will have the same color.

It is difficult to paint well the entire surface of the wall, upholstered with clapboard

If you paint an already assembled surface, unpainted places remain in the grooves and recesses, it is difficult to grind large areas. It is definitely not possible to get a perfectly flat surface. The quality of the finish in this version is not above average. It is permissible to paint the finished surface if you are updating the painting. This must be done at different intervals - it depends on the operating conditions and properties of paintwork materials.

Correctly, the painting technology is as follows.

• The lining is checked and sorted. All crumpled, bent or cracked boards are rejected. On them you can test the color, select the color, the number of layers, work out the technique and the sequence of painting.
• Sorted boards are sanded to full smoothness. It is most effective to work with a grinder, but you can also work with a bar with sandpaper fixed to the surface. Sandpaper grain - 250-280. When grinding in a circular motion, the face, spike and groove pass. The back of the lining can be left untreated.
  It is more convenient to work with a grinder
• Apply the composition with a roller or brush. Each type of coverage has its own points and features - they are spelled out on the bank or in the accompanying instructions. In general, the rules are simple: they take a little paint, apply in single strokes along the lining along the entire length. Then thoroughly grind, shade until a uniform color is obtained.
• Having achieved a uniform color, they are left to dry.
• After drying, grind again if necessary. This step is often necessary when working with opaque paints and varnishes. The first layer of paintwork material raises the pile of the wood, which makes it rough in places. This pile is removed by repeated grinding.
• The second layer of paintwork material is applied. Dries.

There can be many layers: it depends on the hiding power of the paint and on what effect you want to get. But in any case, the rule remains one: there should be little composition on the brush. The exception is impregnation or primer. They are applied with a well-dampened brush, but only those without pigment. When applying pigmented protective compounds, the rules for paints apply - the minimum required amount of the composition is well shaded.

Sometimes, even with careful rubbing of the paint, stains are clearly visible. This is not a bad paint, but the properties of wood: somewhere the pores absorb better, somewhere worse. In order to achieve an even color in this case, the surface is first primed. You can use any wood primer or colorless matte varnish (water-based). After drying, the surface is sanded (aha, again) and then the required number of layers of paint is applied. Only in this case, after the first layer of paintwork materials, grinding is rarely required, and if necessary, then in some places, more often - on a thorn or groove.

How to evenly apply glaze, oil or wax, see the video.

If you need furniture quality painting, there are even more layers: first, a stain is applied, then two layers of primer. After drying, it is sanded until the surface is completely dull, first with grain 280, then 320, after removing the dust, a finishing layer is applied - varnish. An example of such work in the video.

Secrets of decorative wood staining: techniques and tricks

City dwellers want to preserve the natural color of wood to the maximum. For those for whom wood in the house is a boring everyday life - paint the lining inside the premises in some unusual color. Modern paintwork materials allow you to achieve different effects. For example, textured or brushed lining, but in two colors. This technique is often used in loft-style interiors.

Brushed lining in two colors is an excellent choice for decorating walls

The trick is to apply two layers of different colors. The first layer is some kind of dark color, the second - a lighter or brighter one. Having played with colors and the order of their application, you can create your own version. Watch the video - how to get a lining brushed in two colors.

Coloring in two colors may not be the same. You can make grooves of a darker color, and the face (front part) only slightly tinted or do everything exactly the opposite. You will get a striped wall of lining - the effect of a rack wall.

How to properly prepare wood?

Before applying the paint and varnish composition to the wood, it must be prepared.

Drying the panel

On damp wood canvases, the maximum service life of paints and varnishes rarely exceeds 2 years, and more often it is even less than 1 year. Therefore, the lamellas must be kept outdoors or indoors, the humidity of which is more than 15% for up to 30-40 days. It is advisable to avoid direct sunlight, which will lead to uneven drying.

Deep penetration antiseptics significantly speed up drying.

You can check the humidity level like this:

1. cut a square 0.4x0.4 m from polyethylene;
2. after wrapping the panel, secure it tightly with tape;
3. keep in this state for a day in room conditions;
4. measure the moisture content of the polyethylene from the inside.

Oilcloth wet to the touch indicates insufficient drying of the panels.

Lamella processing

If the materials are of category B, then they must be sanded. To do this, use a power tool or ordinary sandpaper for wood. In this case, the last stage should be carried out with a finishing fine-grained sandpaper. This is done to level the surface of the lining in the area of ​​knots, various inclusions, drops.

Advice
The wood can be processed after fixing it to the wall with a grinder or an abrasive nylon brush.

Primer application

The essence of processing with this composition is the creation of a dense layer on the surface of the wood, which binds dust, eliminates small specks after grinding, and reduces the porosity of the material. Adhesion increases, and paints, varnishes get stronger adhesion.

An additional advantage will be the fact that after such a surface treatment, paint consumption is significantly reduced. Therefore, you can purchase more expensive and high-quality formulations.

The following types of wood primers are used:

• based on epoxy resin;
• based on silicone and acrylic;
• acrylic.

You only need to choose a special composition for interior decoration, for this you need to make sure that the packaging has the appropriate markings.

Materials for interior painting

When choosing the necessary tool, it is necessary to take into account that the surface must be treated with anti-rotting compounds before painting. With this in mind, you should stock up on materials:

1. Coarse sandpaper to clean the surface of dirt and foreign matter.This is especially necessary for the lining of the lower grades, the technical conditions for which provide for the presence of resin pockets - if they are not cleaned, the color will not be of high quality.
2. A set of painting tools. In addition to the traditional flat brush, you also need a wool roller, a bucket, a spray gun / spray gun. For tall rooms, a stepladder may also be required.
3. Safety glasses and a gauze bandage - if it is impossible to work in a well-ventilated area.
4. For priming and antiseptic treatment, it is better to have a separate set of painting accessories, since it is not known in advance how dissimilar coatings will interact with each other.

Chemical cleaning

The easiest and most reliable way to clean up contamination is to use liquid chemical compositions. They are evenly applied to the base to be treated according to the instructions, and after a while they are washed off along with the dirt. In their composition, highly concentrated preparations contain alkaline components that contribute to the rapid removal of soot from surfaces without damaging the wood structure.

To quickly clean walls and floors, you can use a telescopic mop.

Chemical sponges impregnated with deep penetration substances are no less effective in the fight against soot. They help to quickly and safely remove the smallest particles of soot and soot that have penetrated the wood structure.

The principle of working with sponges is quite simple: hold the sponge with one hand and clean the surface from top to bottom.

Finally, it is recommended to wash the cleaned surface with clean water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. This is done as follows: the floor is covered with foil or oilcloth to protect the surface from further contamination.

Next, clean water is poured into the container, into which a detergent composition is added, for example, for washing dishes, or any other means on a degreasing basis. The soot is washed off with smooth movements using a soft sponge.

Some helpful tips

If we are talking about painting the lining inside the house, then it would be useful to read some useful tips that will surely help in the course of the work.

In order to ensure an even distribution of color on the surface of the lining, it is necessary to thoroughly mix the paint before work. This can be done with a metal rod or wooden stick. The main thing is that the material is clean.

In order to be sure that the paint is selected correctly, before starting work, it is worth making a preliminary touch on the surface. Only after that you can start the main volume of work.

It is most convenient to apply paint to the lining with a brush, this will help paint the surface more evenly.

It is best to paint the lining not with a spray gun or roller, but with an ordinary brush. At the same time, it is worth applying paint to the surface evenly.

The primer should be the same color as the paintwork. It can be made as such by adding a bit of paint to it before priming.

If the room is too hot, then painting is not recommended. In this case, the paint will dry too quickly. This should not be allowed. It will not adhere very well to the wood surface. When it comes to painting, it is better to create optimal conditions for this process. The room temperature should be between 20 and 25 ° C.

Carefully you need to approach the processing of the ends of the lining. To do this, it is necessary to apply a primer on them in several layers, and also apply a paint and varnish coating in several layers.

In the event that a lot of paint remains at the edges of the can, it must be collected with a scraper. If not, then you can use an ordinary sheet of iron folded in half.

The paint must be applied with a brush in several layers. The layers should be thin.It is best if there are three layers on the surface. In this case, the lining is well impregnated with paints and varnishes.

Types of materials for painting

How to paint the lining? It can be difficult to answer this question. The fact is that there are many formulations that differ in their characteristics. Their correct use can transform a room or, conversely, spoil the entire appearance.

Protective compounds

These solutions act as protectors, but can provide a certain decorative effect.

Fire retardants

It is necessary to cover with such a composition products that are located in places where fire can occur. Of course, it is better to impregnate all wood materials used in finishing work.

Antiseptics

Substances that eliminate the threat of the appearance of various types of bacteria that contribute to decay and destruction. This solution is great when you want to leave the material unchanged. The composition will protect the product for a long time, so that it will not need additional coloring.

Lucky

In fact, varnishes are already closer to paint formulations, but they have a good protective function. Painting the lining inside the house can be done with different materials:

Acrylic lacquer. Great for all indoor environments. It can be transparent and translucent. If necessary, the substances can be tinted.

Synthetic materials

This option requires caution. At dachas, they cover the premises that are at the entrance to the house.

It is quite easy to work with varnish compositions, you just need to take into account that in order to achieve a better result, you need to apply them in several layers.

The varnish allows you to protect the lining from decay, damage and destruction

Decorative options

Lining paint is the best way to transform a surface that has been in use for a long time. That is, if, over time, the product began to darken, cracks appeared in places. In this case, it is best to apply paint. As a result, you can completely update the interior of the house in the country and implement ideas that will help this.

Painting the lining is one of the best options for protection, which also serves as a decorative function.

How to cover the lining? It should be borne in mind that different types of material can be used for work.

Oil paint

It is considered one of the most popular substances. This option has been used for many decades. This is because the solution has excellent characteristics. They consist in the fact that the composition penetrates deep enough into the upper layers of the wood, ensuring its long-term preservation. The coating retains its properties for 7-10 years.

Some disadvantages cannot be ruled out:

• The material has a rich chemical odor that takes a very long time to disappear.
• The first point leads to the fact that it limits the dyeing time. That is, it is not possible to work in the winter, because thorough ventilation is required, which can defrost the entire country house.
• The protective property of the paint conceals another drawback - the material firmly clogs the pores of the tree, it stops breathing. This means that the microclimate that is especially valuable when using lining will be spoiled.

Therefore, for internal work, this composition is used extremely rarely.

Acrylate paint

It should be noted right away that this type is very similar to acrylic compositions, but has a lower price and the necessary characteristics.

This coloring option has the following properties:

There is no unpleasant odor that needs long airing.
The coating is much more elastic, which increases the service life. It resists the aggressive external environment more successfully.

This is very important, because many country houses remain without heating for the winter.
The surface remains breathable, which allows it to maintain exactly the atmosphere that is inherent in wood structures.
The work is done much faster and easier.

Acrylate paint creates a flexible, breathable finish

Of course, this material costs a little more than oil paint, but the result exceeds all expectations.

The choice of paint for coloring

In most cases, we are talking about the painting of internal surfaces, according to this, the type of paint is also selected - acrylic, water-based or oil (whitewash).

The advantage of acrylic paints is their environmental friendliness and relatively low cost. Oil paints dry faster, but at the same time emit a specific odor that is not always acceptable to others. Water-based paint, with all its non-toxicity, is still inferior to the other two types in terms of the durability of the coating. Therefore, the use of a certain type of paint is determined by the specific conditions of its use.

Recently, aqualaks have been actively used to paint the lining, which were previously used mainly for painting ceilings. The advantage of scuba diving is that, along with the formation of the surface color, they also form a dirt-repellent layer. Therefore, caring for white panels, which it was decided to paint with an aqualak, will be much less laborious. The disadvantage of scuba diving is their high cost.
