Siberian cedar lining

Peculiarities

Cedar received high marks from experts due to its many benefits. The main feature of the variety is its unique healing properties and pleasant aroma. Due to the structure of the wood, cedar has excellent resistance to decay, which many other varieties are deprived of.

The color of the natural material is varied. From a pale, neutral shade to a dark and pronounced color with a reddish-yellow tint. The annual rings are noticeable, but not striking, which makes the wood more elegant and neat compared to pine and other coniferous species.

Cedar lining is considered a premium material. Products from the Canadian variety are especially appreciated due to their unique qualities and high technical characteristics. Cedar upholstery board is the best choice for connoisseurs of durable, practical and noble materials. The service life of the panels is 100 years.

Sauna from Siberian cedar, pros and cons

Cedar is a coniferous tree that is endowed with healing properties that perfectly affect human health. Living quarters, balconies, steam rooms are finished with its wood. Sauna from Siberian cedar - pros and cons, we will consider in this article.

I've heard a lot of controversy about how cedar lining behaves in a sauna. Usually, those who opposed it turned out to be either the sellers of Canadian cedar or who read the reviews of the first on the forums, people who had nothing to do with cedar wood.

Those who at least once worked with cedar, or entered a house or sauna decorated with clapboard, always speak enthusiastically about the wealth of our homeland - Siberian cedar.

Why is this material good and what properties distinguish it from larch and pine?

The advantages of cedar cladding are varied:

• the texture of cedar is inferior to larch, but it looks beautiful, has a calm, relaxing difference between hard and soft layers;
• the release of useful essential oils, especially clearly felt when heated;
• excellent resistance to high temperatures, the panels retain the natural colors of the wood for a long time, and over time they slightly disappear into a brownish color;
• not a high resin content, the lining does not burn the skin, like a cedar shelf, i.e. in terms of density, cedar wood does not differ from linden;
• does not crack due to the short fibers contained in the wood, does not even have end cracks;
• cedar panels retain their geometry well, which is an important factor for a steam room, they do not lead to high temperatures, do not bend.

Sauna from Siberian cedar quickly relieves fatigue, improves the well-being of people with diseases of the lungs and cardiovascular system. The peculiarity of cedar is the presence of short fibers in its wood, due to which it is easily bent, processed and polished. Also, the material does not rot over time.

Some of our customers, having mounted a cedar health cabinet in their home, open the door ajar, cooling the sauna, enjoying the aroma throughout the house.

Over the years of work we have not heard a single complaint that resin has flowed or some other troubles have happened, but a lot of people come to buy boards on the recommendation of relatives, friends and neighbors.

What are the factors against using Siberian cedar for a sauna? Having studied this issue for a long time, the specialists of our company came to the conclusion that such lumber ideal for decorating a steam room and there are no negative aspects with its use.

On the contrary, the Siberian cedar wins, in comparison with the Canadian, a more affordable price, while not inferior to it in quality and, most importantly, aroma!

No flaws at all? - you ask.

Well, if you do not consider the disadvantage of a live knot on the face of the board, then there really are no shortcomings

The knot is really alive, tightly adhered to the wood and at the same time having SUCH HIGH concentration of gum, aromatic resin (not to be confused with ordinary resin like pine or spruce) that not even a single parasite and not a single mold takes root on this wood, and this, admit it is very important in a wet steam room

But the cedar lining without knots practically does not differ from the Angara pine EXTRA in smell. Concentration of aroma in knots. minus or plus - it's up to you. For me personally, what emphasizes the natural origin of the material not vice, but beauty.

Profile types

The lining of wood can be classified by the type of coniferous wood, by the type of wood and by the type of profile.

Let's highlight the most popular coniferous materials in the production of lumber.

These include lining made of Canadian cedar, as well as Siberian and mountainous Altai.

Classification by type of wood is made according to the number of knots and natural defects present on the cedar panels. There are several grades or classes of lining: the highest quality "extra", middle class A and B, lower quality board of grade C.

The most common types of profiles are eurolining, softline and calm.

Euro lining has the deepest groove and the largest spike, as well as special grooves for ventilation on the back of the board.

The lining of the "softline" profile, respectively, has a spike and a groove less deep, but the board itself is somewhat wider, which creates a smoother and less dazzling surface when finishing with such a profile.

The lining "calm" is characterized by the absence of a shelf that continues the spike from the back of the board. The clapboard trim of such a profile is distinguished by an inconspicuous connection of panels and looks like a homogeneous surface without seams.

Varieties of finishing processing

Cedar lining is processed in several ways.

Varnishes and paints. The wood is covered with protective paints and varnishes. Processing will help to emphasize the natural beauty of the wood and preserve the cladding for a long time.

Maslovosk. With the help of this composition, you can save not only the charming color of the wood, but also the amazing aroma.

Brushing. The technique is used when it is necessary to give the tree a more solid and elegant look due to artificial aging. After processing, the brushed lining retains all performance characteristics.

Varieties of varieties

In the field of lining production, two types of wood are used. Each species has its own specific characteristics and individual characteristics.

Canadian cedar

This large tree grows in Canada. And he also considers North America and the regions of the United States of America to be the homeland of the variety. From time immemorial it was used for buildings, as well as for the manufacture of boats, dishes and other household paraphernalia. The texture of the wood is particularly tender and soft, despite its high strength. The color of the material of one variety can vary significantly and vary from light tones to thick chocolate colors.

Premium class cladding is made from Canadian cedar. The North American variety combines excellent technical characteristics, medicinal qualities, excellent aroma and attractive appearance. Canadian cedar lining is used not only for decorating baths and saunas, but also for expensive yachts.

The height of an adult tree can reach 60 meters with a diameter of 4-5 meters. Canadian cedar is a long-liver. The oldest representative is about 1200 years old.

Siberian (Altai) cedar

The main asset of the endless Altai forests is the Siberian cedar. But also this variety bears the name - Siberian cedar pine. In the production of finishing materials, trees over 400 years old are used. The trunk diameter should be 3 meters. Wood is used to create expressive and stylish noble interiors.

Sheathing from this grade is actively used for both external and internal work. The walls, decorated with Altai cedar clapboard, have a flat surface. A feature of this grade is its excellent soundproofing qualities - almost 100% noise reflection effect.

Wood lends itself easily to various processing methods. The work uses both a manual technique and special power tools.

Applications

Today, cedar is actively used in various construction areas, but the product is especially widespread in the interior decoration of saunas, infrared cabins and baths. In these areas, the cultivar can reveal and demonstrate its medicinal qualities and pleasant scent. Cedar warms up in a short time and keeps the room warm for a long time.

Wood has a high level of thermal insulation, so you can significantly save on heating. The special aroma creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere in the steam room. Cedar contains essential oils, the aroma of which has a positive effect on the general condition of the body and relieves stress.

Now cedar has begun to be actively used for interior (interior) and exterior decoration of premises (facades). The expressive color and texture add a touch of naturalness and naturalness to the design and ennoble the overall composition.

The cedar finishing material has three grades.

Extra. This is a top grade lining.The material should not have even the smallest defects (cracks, knots, grooves, etc.). Before being sent to stores, the finishing is processed using a special technique to reduce the level of scrap.

Euro lining. The product received this name due to the fact that it was manufactured in accordance with the quality standards approved in Europe. Distinctive features of the lining are the deep placement of the grooves, the presence of ventilation channels, as well as the correct geometry. Smooth design is achieved by an enlarged spike and ridge. This type of finish is the most popular among consumers due to the favorable combination of cost and quality.

What fool is sheathing a steam room with cedar?

On our site users quite rarely leave comments, but the more diligently we answer the few that we do have. We are not in the habit of deleting even the most inconvenient questions - only spam is subject to strict moderation.

But last month we received a comment on the bath, lined with cedar from the inside, with the following content - we even made a screenshot:

Ivan, we want to seriously talk to you about what kind of fool is sheathing the steam room with cedar.

We are, frankly, puzzled by your question. And what, in fact, is wrong? Sheathing of a steam room with cedar, construction of cedar baths is a rather popular and demanded service. Most of the customers who order it from us came from a recommendation. This means that Vasya came to visit Seryozha, saw a cedar lining in the bathhouse, was freaked out by the beauty and smell, and asked: “Well, Seryog, is it a good thing? Satisfied? Was it expensive? "

Since Vasya came to us, it means, I think, Seryoga is satisfied with everything.

What problems can arise in a cedar steam room?

There are widespread myths about cedar wood among those who like to whine and take a nap. Let's take a closer look at them.

Myth # 1: Cedar lining turns black when heated.

We have little idea of ​​the temperature to which the bath needs to be heated so that the casing turns black. Are you sure you are not burning yet? Like any other wood without special processing, cedar loses its original shade during the operation of the bath - it becomes golden-reddish. This is a standard oxidation process. The tree does not look worse from this, rather it acquires nobility:

If the cedar has turned black, we have a question - was there a cedar?

Myth # 2: Canadian cedar is more expensive than Altai or Siberian cedar because it is better.

Already shakes from such statements. This lovely red Canadian cedar is generally in the Cypress family and is a giant thuja! And what we call the Altai (Siberian) cedar is nothing more than a pine of the Siberian cedar of the Pine family. By the way, there are only three types of real cedars in nature: Lebanese (Cedrus libani), Himalayan (Cedrus deodara) and Atlas (Cedrus atlantica), and they all belong to the Pine family!

In general, Canadian cedar is more expensive simply because we have forgotten how to use Wikipedia.

Myth # 3: Does the cedar cry or not?

He cries from the inability to study the issue comprehensively. The release of resin from the board / lining / timber depends on the production method: sawing, drying, processing, sorting. It may or may not tar.

However, none of our clients consider the release of resin to be a disadvantage of cedar. Rather, it is an advantage - it has a unique smell, it really cannot be confused with anything. You can't think of a better tree for a bath.

And once again we will admire the beauty of the steam room, sheathed with cedar clapboard:

And if you are still in doubt, here is a real review:
