Finishing work of any structure is carried out using modern facing materials. There are materials that have become very popular at the moment. This is a bruce. Only it has several types and different mounting methods.
Varieties of timber for home decoration
If previously there was only one type of material such as timber, now it can be:
- natural;
- as an imitation.
Both materials have practically the same technical and quality characteristics.
How are they different?
So, the first version of the material is full-fledged logs, which are fixed on the basis of a certain frame both inside and outside the building. The second type is considered more practical and not so expensive. It has a flat surface on one side and a convex surface on the other.
Advantages of timber in finishing
Firstly, the material has an attractive appearance. Secondly, fastening the beam to the wall is quite simple and fast. It all depends on the type of construction that is the basis for these works.
To the main properties of any kind of timbercan be attributed to:
- sustainable;
- practicality;
- durability;
- reliability;
- strength.
Material sizes vary.
Material imperfections
It is impossible to say that the beam has any significant drawbacks. They are inherent in any wooden material. Insects often start up in the structure, which destroy it. There is also no resistance to fire and moisture. Although all this can be corrected with special means applied to the surface of the material.
On what surfaces can a real timber be attached?
Mounting a wooden beam is possible on the following surfaces:
- wooden;
- brick;
- stone;
- monolithic.
It is structures made of such materials that can withstand significant loads. In principle, the installation technology of this finishing agent is similar. But if the beam is fastened to the beam, then there are some recommendations for the work.
What can imitation timber be mounted on?
There are no restrictions in such works. This is due to the fact that the material does not have a large mass. Yes, and one of its sides is flat. It is for this reason that the imitation of timber can be fastened even on plasterboard walls. For this, there are certain technologies for performing work.
How to mount a finishing beam to a wooden wall?
The most difficult is the fastening of timber to timber. The work process consists of several stages. There are also different technologies. So you canmount material:
- on frame;
- using special bolts.
Let's look at each of them.
Mounting the beam on the frame
This option is considered the most time-consuming and at the same time high-quality method by which the beam is fastened to the beam. The surface of the wall does not need to be leveled beforehand, since the crate will hide all defects anyway.
To perform the installation you will need:
- wooden bars and boards, planks;
- wood screws;
- dowels;
- screwdriver;
- perforator;
- building level;
- jigsaw or saw.
During the finishing process, you can carry out insulation and insulation of the house.
To carry out such work, you need:
- sheet insulation materials;
- stationery knife;
- mounting foam.
Styrofoam or polyurethane foam is used as the first remedy. And mounting foam is easily replaced with sealant or a similar substance.
So, a crate of wooden planks is being built on the surface of the wall. The width of its cells should not exceed 50 cm. Subsequently, this will make it possible to securely fix the material on its surface.
If the building is insulated, then cut sheets of insulating material are inserted into these cells according to the parameters of the pits. The gaps that are formed during the work between the frame and the insulation are treated with sealant or mounting foam. Last resort to work withbe careful as it tends to swell after being applied to the surface.
Since the beam "breathes", it is necessary to provide it with an air cushion. To do this, over the crate, in the cells of which sheets of insulating material are mounted, a second crate of the same size is attached. Only after that it is possible to fasten the timber to the timber using self-tapping screws and bolts with long legs.
Installation of material without frame
This method is simple. But at the same time, it is worth considering that it will not be possible to carry out the insulation of the building during the work. So, the surface, especially wood, is pre-treated with special agents and primers. Then the process of screwing the strips of timber is carried out using dowels and self-tapping screws.
This method of mounting the material is effectively used with imitation of timber.
If the material is fixed outside the house, then inside it is necessary to carry out insulation work. Similarly, with another installation method.
