Decorating the walls of wood: the typical errors and their consequences

To repair the house, a lot of experience is not required if there is money and Internet access, but there are many pitfalls, which I want to tell you. If you are thinking to make the most natural repair of the room clapboard sheathing, it will not be enough to choose one of the highest quality woods and proprietary impregnation.

Finishing the second floor of a private house started quickly, builders have recommended to friends, referring to their experience and knowledge of the breadth of its business.

TIP: hiring of workers, find out the details about what and how they are going to do. On the Internet there are a large number of sources - video and article, which you can check whether all is done correctly.

Unfortunately, I trusted builders and did not get into the details of that in a few weeks climbed to the problem, many of the consequences will be very difficult to get rid of (see. a photo).

The history of repairs.

It was necessary to repair the 4 rooms. Two workers were trimmed clapboard cabinet, putting a vertical way. After the purchase of wood, builders immediately began to nail her to the wall, to cope with two rooms for three days. I was very sympathetic to the natural wood color, pale beige, and in consultation with builders, I purchased several buckets transparent impregnating that one day they have successfully dealt on the walls.

Two bedrooms also trimmed immediately after the purchase of lining, but in a horizontal fashion. This method takes more time. On the walls of bedrooms, it was decided to put the enamel on wood - pinkish cream color and sky-blue. Both bedrooms are painted in two days only with enamel, which had to impose in two layers, one add a third - coating on the walls looked packed unevenly, huge gaps and spots blackouts. Fortunately, after drying enamel is evenly distributed, but were unpleasantly visible knots in certain lights they give the impression of some spots that you can see in the photo.

About wood processing facilities.

• Impregnation. I draw your attention, the tool has a pungent smell of paint and drying, in my opinion, longer than ordinary paints. Therefore, drying time, and this is at least 4-5 days, it is better to move out of the house. One bank means cost about 500 rubles, a volume of 2.5 liters. On average room takes about 5 liters (wall and ceiling).
• Enamel on wood dries a few hours, completely dry in 24 hours. Characteristic odor virtually none. Price depends on the color of the jar of 3 liters - from 700 to 1200 rubles. If you paint the walls and ceiling of a middle of the room, in 2 layers, it will take about 9-12 liters.

operating errors.

And now tell you about the builders of the doorposts, surprises with which I faced a few weeks later, after repairs. The causes of each problem had appeared to search the Internet and consult with experts. It turned out that even if the workers were very experienced professionals, specifically with the wood trim they had had affairs. Basic errors which in any case can not perform:

• Molded should lie down for a while, posohnut. wood moisture level should have a certain figure, which is measured with the help of specialists of specific instruments. This value varies, the tree should not be too wet or dry.
• Due to the fact that the tree was immediately allowed to use, not allowing him to lie down and a bit dry, in many places there were such resin spots:

• Battens impregnated cover completely from all sides before mounting it on the wall. In my case, first working wood raw nailed to the wall and then covered it with impregnation, with the front side, which is blunder, which could lead to the fact that the battens simply "lead" - it will bend smoothly with the letter "s" and It cracks. In my case, it looks like this -

• Before enameling tree, it was necessary to apply the impregnation and give it to dry.
• On the impregnation can not save, but do not abuse it. The first study, which was supposed to be a natural wood color, uneven began to darken, the example photo -

• Also, in the darkening lining affects the sunlight - after application, it is desirable to hang dark cloth box, do not miss the sunlight.
• Places felled knots begin to darken significantly over time, and "squeezed", forming small holes, which looks not very nice photo -

Spending a large amount of funds for such an expensive resource, like a tree, badly battered their nerves process of procurement of materials, could only expect quality repair outcome. Workers can advise you, in one way or another, understanding in their field, but check and be immersed in the flow of repairs needed, just so you can avoid common mistakes.
