If all the necessary points are taken into account in this process, then the result will meet all your expectations.

We install the block house

Metal crate

The installation of a block house is always carried out according to, regardless of the surface on which the installation is carried out, be it wood, brick or any other material.

To do this, it is necessary to attach bars with a thickness of 30 to 40 mm to the wall. It is also necessary to observe the interval between them about fifty to sixty centimeters.

Then they should be aligned in height. One of the huge advantages of this design inside the structure is the sheathing with a block house, in which there is no need to later level the wall before the finishing process.

Wooden crate for a block house

When interior decoration of a room with a block house, thermal insulation is not necessarily necessary, which usually occurs when finishing facades. In a special order, such a procedure is not required for wooden and brick structures. Such a question about the insulation of the room before you begin to install the crate. If you still decide that you need insulation, then the thickness of the bars, respectively, should be increased. And one interesting fact- sound insulation will be improved, since there will be free air space between the wall and the sheathing.

Installation of a block house with insulation

The standard way to install a block house inside the building itself is horizontal execution along a vertical grid. But sometimes another method is used - vertical mounting of the board. Often this method is used in rooms with a higher humidity coefficient: baths and saunas. This fact is a prevention for the destruction of wood, which can be the cause of the accumulation of water in the grooves of the board itself.

If we turn to the example of gluing wallpaper with an overlap, then it is here that we can draw an analogue with the installation process. The installation of the spikes of the first board and the rest must be directed to the light source, which will make the joint of the boards not so noticeable. But this method can be regarded as an exception, not a consequence. The main way is still setting, with the position of the spike on top, horizontally, and on the bottom of the board - a groove.

Hidden fastening of the block house

One of the important references will be for you that in order for the material to acquire the humidity of the environment, it is necessary to hold the block house without packaging before the installation process itself in a closed room for several days.

You can start the installation itself not only from above, but also from below. Fastening with a nail or self-tapping screw at an angle into a spike is one of the most common methods. To start, for easier and more convenient installation work in the best possible way must start from the bottom. It would also be appropriate to mention another way - the use of kleimers. And kleimers are special brackets for fastening. If in this way we fix the block house, then its cost increases accordingly, but the installation itself inside the room remains reliable, durable and of high quality.

Eco-friendly houses natural materials have become very popular in recent decades. One of the most common are traditional wooden buildings. Such structures are suitable both as a summer country house or capital cottage for year-round use, and for small office buildings.

And enthusiasts say that it is worth using a practical block house.

Why wooden houses often need cladding

Houses made of any wooden building material have long been a priority among citizens. The leaders of sales in this segment are profiled or glued beams, logs. Such materials are already dried, equipped with saw cuts, connecting elements, and prepared to the maximum for the construction of reliable walls.

Proponents of naturalism prefer to use a traditional log, which involves a long period of shrinkage of the structure - with this method flaws in the blanks will always be in sight. In this case, sheathing the house with a block house is recommended no earlier than a year or two after the completion of construction.

The walls of self-built houses often have visible defects or need additional insulation, since the climate in most regions of the country is very unstable. It would be quite a reasonable step to clad a wooden structure on the outside, which does not reduce the usable space of the premises and gives the building a special charm. Exterior wall cladding required frame houses- this method will create a cozy atmosphere inside the building and ennoble its appearance from the outside.

A separate category is capital old buildings, which lose their external attractiveness and become less comfortable. Additional presentable wall protection will extend the life of the house: it will protect against precipitation, mechanical damage. The insulation is laid outside and combined with a hydro-barrier, and the surface of the old tree is cleaned of paint, varnishes, covered with antiseptic compounds. Diligent owners can do all the work with their own hands.

Block house: advantages, species diversity and selection rules

Block house is considered the most successful and presentable type of wall paneling. Its environmental friendliness is undeniable. Most often, softwood is used as the starting material for panels. Many consumers are attracted by the ability of lamellas for many years to release phytoncides that inhibit the development of bacteria.

Strength, excellent insulating properties in combination with the maintenance of natural air exchange - arguments that can be decisive when choosing facing material. Also important is the ease of installation of the structure - any craftsman can do it with his own hands - and the absence of "wet" work.

Professionals note that the pine block house is indispensable for the external cladding of the walls of a residential building, but for saunas and baths, dense hardwood panels will be a rational choice. In order to choose the best variety and not be disappointed in the material, you need to decide on the price category before the start of purchases:

• Class A - an elite block house of excellent quality without the slightest error. It remains the most expensive and very presentable.
• Class B - implies the presence of minor knots - up to 3 cm - on the front side, which, with a skillful arrangement, can even decorate the facade. And on the back side, small chips are acceptable.
• Class B - the number of knots and their configuration is not regulated.

The grade of material for the walls is selected depending on the purpose of the building and the aesthetic preferences of each. If you plan to build a house with your own hands, then with self-selection lamellas should carefully examine each segment and put aside specimens with cracks, moldy deposits.

Masters draw the attention of beginners to special nuances: the closer the lines of annual rings are to each other, the stronger and denser the wood. The implementation of sheathing with a blockhouse of the building from the outside involves a wider modification of the board - about 150 mm.

Sheathing the house with a block house is made on a prepared frame, which is easy to build with your own hands from slats or ordinary boards. A similar crate is located along the walls in increments of 500-700 mm. And the resulting gap is great for laying insulating materials. The layer thickness is calculated depending on the region. For example: in winter, the thermometer shows from -8 to -12 o, which means that a five-centimeter thickness of the material is enough.

If you plan to use mineral wool, then the step is selected in proportion to the existing plates. And in front of the block house panels there is a layer of wind protection. Any type of waterproofing will extend the life of the base material.

To do the work with your own hands, you will need a screwdriver, which can be replaced with a conventional drill. A square, saw or grinder with a set of disks will also come in handy.

When constructing the frame, plumb lines and levels are used - the rails must be installed strictly vertically. Only in this case, the lining will have the correct geometric shapes. If samples of class B or C are available, then before work, you need to scrupulously inspect them and plan the location of the panels. Defects should be masked with a special putty. Any block house is treated with impregnations.

It is important to correctly cut the material, carefully measuring all the parameters of the walls with your own hands, taking into account the presence of door and window openings.

For sheathing the outer walls of a wooden structure, the block house is laid horizontally. The spikes should be located on top: in this way they will protect the grooves from rainwater. Sealed connection - "thorn-groove" ensures the tightness of the structure.

Experienced craftsmen prefer to build corners by perfectly washing down the lamellas at an angle of 45 degrees. And for those who do such work for the first time with their own hands, it is worth using a decorative outer corner. To ennoble the joints near the window or door, you need to purchase cashiers.

For fastening to the frame of a wide block, clamps and self-tapping screws are used: holes are carefully drilled in the panels, which are then masked with the help of selected putty or closed with special plugs.

The finishing stage is the application of varnish or paint to the block house. Renewal of the coating must be done every 5-7 years.

Block house came to us from Europe. With beautiful appearance and good technical specifications gained popularity. Building material is made of wood or materials that copy natural wood species.

Consider the design features of the facade, finished with a block house, and describe the sequence of cladding the house with wood panels.

Siding "block house": design features

Block house - popular construction material used in exterior and interior decoration of the walls of the house. The surface, which is sheathed with a block house, resembles a wall finished natural wood. The elements are made of wood or galvanized steel coated with a polymer film, the shape of the elements is double or single "logs".

Sheathing boards have a convex front wall and a flat back. On the ribs there are spikes and grooves for joining the elements.

Before proceeding with the arrangement of a house from a block house, it is necessary to understand the design of a ventilated facade of this type. The design includes the required elements:

1. Insulation - protects the insulation from moisture vapor. The vapor barrier layer allows steam to pass towards the wall, preventing it from penetrating to the insulation.
2. Sheathing - creates a cavity between the wall of the house and the block house, serves as the basis for fastening the rails. The frame is made from wooden beam section 100*40 mm or 50*40 mm (depending on the type thermal insulation material). This structural element acts as a frame for fastening the block house.
3. Thermal insulation layer - foam plastic, mineral wool, etc. The thickness of the insulation must be at least 10 cm.
4. The wind barrier is mounted on the crate beam and additionally protects the insulation from moisture contained in the air.
5. The counter grille provides space between the windscreen and the block house. The counter-lattice is made of beams of a small section - 20 * 40 mm. If you neglect this element of the facade structure, then the wooden lamellas of the block house will quickly rot.
6. The outer skin is a block house.

Advantages and disadvantages of different types of block house

The main criterion for classifying a block house is the material of manufacture. For finishing works more often use wood, metal and vinyl panels.

In production wooden block Hausa use coniferous and deciduous species of wood (cedar, pine, Siberian larch and spruce). These types of wood are resistant to decay and will last a long time.

Wooden lamellas are made using the following technology:

1. Logs are sawn using the "square in a circle" method. The result is four blanks.
2. The blanks are placed in the drying chamber.
3. Drying takes about 2 weeks. If you dry the wood in a natural way, then it will take about 6 months.

Block house made of wood has a number of advantages:

• strength - the surface of the panels withstands high mechanical / physical impacts without losing the original appearance;
• a damaged finishing element can be restored - sanded or replaced;
• the material is light weight;
• ease of installation;
• environmentally friendly material;
• walls sheathed with a wooden block house “breathe” - a favorable microclimate of the room is created;
• block house additionally insulates the house;
• high decorativeness and attractiveness of a wooden facade.

Block house made of wood needs regular cleaning and varnishing - these activities increase the moisture resistance of the material and extend the life of the sheathing

Facade decoration is often performed with metal sheets of a block house, which have some features:

• building material is made of steel with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm;
• the steel body of the element is coated with zinc;
• from the inside, the metal plate is treated with a primer and paint, and a pattern imitating natural wood is applied to the front side of the house block;
• the main advantages of a metal facade are durability and high strength; block house of this type withstands temperature fluctuations, is resistant to moisture and does not change its characteristics under the influence of adverse climatic conditions;
• metal block house has different forms- in one or two logs.

The composition of the vinyl panels includes protective reinforcing components and additional plasticizers. Vinyl block house has many advantages wooden panels, but it is stronger, cheaper and available in a wide range of colors.

How to choose a material for finishing a house with a block house

Choosing a block house is not an easy task. Boards differ among themselves not only in the material of manufacture, but also in other parameters. When buying lamellas, it is advisable to be guided by the following expert advice:

1. For facade work, boards with a width of at least 15 cm should be used, it is desirable that all lamellas have the same dimensions.
2. It is better to choose long boards - this will reduce the number of joints. The standard length of the lamella is 6 m.
3. External siding is performed with a block house made of coniferous wood. The ideal option is larch.
4. Boards from the northern regions are denser - this property improves the other characteristics of the material. The density of wood can be checked by annual rings. The closer they are to each other, the denser the material.
5. Not worth buying wooden planks if they have defects: cracks, rotten knots, mildew or bluish spots.
6. Pitching should be small sizes: width - about 8 mm, depth - 3 mm.
7. Permissible moisture level of wooden boards - 20%. This value must be displayed on the building material certificate.
8. The packaging of the block house must be complete, without damage.

Rules for the installation of lamellas "block house"

Sheathing a house with a block house with your own hands must be carried out in compliance with a number of rules:

1. Installation is carried out along the rails, and not directly to the wall.
2. The block house is preferably fixed with clasps or metal staples. For fastening thick boards of a block house, it is better to use self-tapping screws with an anti-corrosion coating.
3. Before starting the installation, it is advisable to hold the wooden boards indoors for several days. This will reduce the moisture content of the material.
4. During fastening, the panels are arranged so that the groove is at the bottom, and the spike is at the top. This method reduces the risk of dust/dirt accumulating in the groove and increases the life of the skin.
5. A gap must be left between the floor/ceiling surface and the sheathing for natural ventilation.
6. There should also be a small gap between the boards. This measure will prevent deformation of the material in case of moisture ingress and temperature changes.

Finishing the facade of the house with a block house: a phased progress of work

Consider how to properly sheathe a house with a block house. We will consider the installation process using the example of wooden panels.

Tools and materials

In addition to the block house itself, other materials will be needed for work:

Important! As a heater, it is better not to use foam. This heat insulator does not combine well with wood, as it has low vapor permeability and supports combustion.

Required tools:

• level;
• brush;
• hammer;
• sandpaper or grinder;
• saw;
• electric drill;
• screwdriver

Preparatory activities

Before you start decorating a wooden house with a block house, you need to carry out preparatory measures.

Sheathing of the house with a block house

The installation of boards starts from the bottom corner, the fastening of the panels is horizontal. Fixing a block house with climbers:

1. Attach the clamps to the crate with self-tapping screws.
2. Insert the first panel into the tabs of the fasteners. Board location - groove down.
3. Put the groove of the next panel on the spike located below the installed element of the crate.
4. The cladding work continues until the entire wall is sheathed with block house panels.

If the clamps are replaced with self-tapping screws, then before mounting the boards, it is necessary to prepare recesses for fasteners. Fixation occurs in steps of - 40 cm. Self-tapping screws are screwed in at an angle of 45 °.

In order for the finish to have an aesthetic appearance, the screws must be masked. For this, the remains of wooden panels, ready-made plugs or wooden “paste” are suitable.

“Boats” are suitable for decorating the inner corners, special plinths or planed timber 5 * 5 cm are superimposed on the outer corners. Experts recommend fixing the timber before starting the sheathing - this will fix the panels of the block house to the timber and make the finish as attractive as possible.

Door and window openings are framed. The main function of the platbands is to hide cracks and protect against the penetration of cold air, precipitation and debris.

You can choose decorative platbands with interesting carved patterns and unusual ornaments. The shape of the platbands can be flat, rounded or curly. The choice depends on the style and overall facade of the house.

Finishing a block house inside the house

Installation of a block house inside the house practically does not differ from the outer skin, but it has some nuances:

• for work use boards of small width;
• external and internal corners are fixed at the end of the installation of the block house.

Important! It is better not to use wooden panels of the block house for decoration internal walls wet rooms. Otherwise, the material must be covered with a layer of varnish

Processing and maintenance of block house panels

To ensure long-term operation of finishing, wooden houses block house must be treated with protective coatings: stain, antiseptic, varnish, paint and mastic.

Processing sequence:

1. Prime the surface of the block house.
2. Apply a layer of varnish or colorless paint.
3. Every 5-7 years the protective coating must be renewed. It is desirable to re-apply the same varnish or paint, otherwise the previous layer will have to be removed with a grinder.

Important! To avoid the appearance of white stripes during the shrinkage of wooden panels, the spike of the block house must be treated with varnish before installation.

House sheathing block house: video

Block house is one of the most popular finishing materials. The product on the front side has a convex shape that imitates a log. This lumber is considered to be one of the types of lining, since they have the same installation method - the "thorn-groove" technology.

It is used in both external and internal decoration. The facade, finished with a blockhouse, looks like a house made of logs.

Characteristic

If we compare the block house with other boards for sheathing, then due to the arcuate profile, it has a large width. In terms of other parameters, it is similar to clapboard and imitation timber:

Parameter	Characteristic
Material (raw material breed)	Spruce, pine, larch
Thickness	22 - 42 mm
Length	2 - 6 m
Width	90 - 195 mm
Compound	tenon groove
Humidity	10-12%

After manufacturing, it is thoroughly dried in a drying chamber, then it is processed.

Block house in construction

In general, there are two types of block house - wide and narrow.

1. Wide - for exterior decoration - houses, cottages, baths. The house will look like it was built from a log.

2. Narrow - used in interior decoration. This is the decoration of such premises as country houses, cafe in a certain style. Also, this lumber is used for finishing saunas, gazebos and verandas.

It is interesting that the blockhouse can be painted in any color, to create an interesting, unusual interior. It is also possible to tint varnish.

Block house: price per m 2

Depending on your construction and finishing tasks, we may buy block house different sizes in any quantities.

The price of a product depends on its size. The larger the size, the greater the thickness of the lumber. And the greater the thickness, the higher the cost.

But there are other characteristics that affect the price - the type of wood, grade. Cheaper from pine and spruce, and if you want High Quality, then it will be more expensive - then you need to choose from larch or cedar.

for sale square meters or cubes. In our company, the price of a block house is below the average on the market, as we work without intermediaries.

Material Features

Let's take a closer look at what the price depends on. Of course, from the type of wood that is used in the production of this material. The quality of processing and the quality of the finished material also affect the cost, in another way we call it a category. We sell several categories of blockhouses that meet recognized European standards.

1. Category A - we allow the presence of knots, resin pockets (no more than 2), as well as through cracks - all this for every 1.5 meters,
2. Category AB - knots (light, dark), cracks, cores are possible, but there should be no rot and through cracks - comparison on more than 50% of the material,
3. Category C - in this option, we allow the presence of knots (the so-called live or dead), wane (this is part of the side surface of the log from which the lumber was made), it is possible to change the color of the board, as well as other points.

You can buy a block house from us inexpensively of any category.

Benefits of a block house

• Versatile finishing material.
  Can be used for both external and interior decoration. Also suitable for finishing concrete foundations, wooden, brick.
• Lightweight, easy-to-use material, which provides ease of installation and is suitable for finishing surfaces of rooms.
  It differs from other lumber for finishing in that it is very convenient to work with it in reality. The thorn-groove system makes installation easy, and the lightness of the material makes it possible to carry out work quickly and efficiently. In addition, under the blockhouse it is possible to lay any materials for thermal insulation.
• Durability in use.
  The service life of the product is affected by the humidity index. According to our standards, it does not exceed 10-12%. What gives such an indicator? The product will not crack, dry out under the influence of high and low temperatures, as well as their sharp drops. Withstands quite strong mechanical loads. The processing of the material makes it possible to be sure of the reliability of protection against insects and other environmental factors.
• In addition to the beautiful unusual interior you get the scent of wood in your home.
  Environmentally friendly, does not give any fumes and odors. On the contrary, the aroma of wood is natural. Deformations are excluded.
• The only lumber that repeats the surface of the log.
  The high demand for a blockhouse is not accidental, it is a worthy and high-quality lumber. At the same time, it is economical in comparison with a solid log, but it repeats its appearance very naturally. Fasteners are not visible, so the surface looks very natural.
• Coniferous resin gives good natural waterproofing.

Block house is one of the many types of lumber used for sheathing exterior and interior walls. In appearance, it imitates a natural log, the connection is made in a tongue/groove.

Depending on the quality of the wood, it is divided into several varieties.

Variety	Short description
	Signs of diseases and malformations of wood are not allowed, healthy knots can have a diameter of not more than 15 mm, the number is not more than 1 piece / m. n. Rotten knots are prohibited. Cracks can only be at the ends.
	On running meter there may be up to 2 healthy knots Ø 20 mm, on the front side there may be shallow cracks no longer than 30 mm. Wormholes no more than 3 pcs. for the entire length of the board.
	Light knots are allowed without restrictions on the number and size, dead knots are only not falling out. On the surface there may be narrow cracks up to 50 mm long. Wood may have blue spots and other natural malformations.

Due to the fact that the assessment of the quality of a block house largely depends on subjective factors, manufacturers often offer mixed varieties in one batch. In such cases, lumber is designated AB or BC. A block house is made from several types of wood, the features of lumber have a great impact on the cost.

Larch is used to finish the most prestigious houses, often used when lining baths. The most common are softwood sawn timber. The price, taking into account the type and quality of wood, ranges from 400–1600 rubles/m3.

There is no single size standard, each manufacturer works according to its own specifications, which depend on the capabilities of its equipment. The main requirement during the selection is to buy materials from only one manufacturer.

Before starting the installation, it is recommended to hold the material a little, if you plan to sheathe the inner surfaces of the walls, then let it lie unpacked in the house for several days. The block house for exterior walls also needs to be unpacked and folded in a dark place.

The block house is installed only horizontally, in connection with this, the crate is made vertical. For fixing boards, several types of hardware are used.

You can fix the block house both in the spike and in the front surface. The second method is rarely used - the appearance deteriorates significantly, the imitation of a real timber is of poor quality.

Installation of a wooden block house with insulation

The most common cladding option for the facade walls of a building. It allows not only to significantly improve the appearance of the building, but also to increase its heat saving performance to the regulatory standards. Sheathing is used both during new construction and in the repair of old buildings. The relatively low weight of the structure does not require complex measures to increase the bearing characteristics of the foundation; the technology can be used on all types of walls: brick, foam concrete, wood, etc.

Step 1. Purchase materials. If you have big house, then it is recommended to buy a wide block house, it looks great on it. Accordingly, for small buildings, buy narrow lumber, due to this, the dimensions visually increase. Calculate the area of ​​​​the walls, during the purchase, make a small margin of up to 5-7%.

Important. Remember that the block house has two widths: common and usable. Usable width does not include tenon dimensions.

For the crate under the insulation, bars are needed, the width should be the same as the thickness of the insulation.

It is better to insulate the wall with pressed or rolled mineral wool. The use of foam plastic is undesirable and is allowed only as a last resort during the sheathing of various outbuildings. The thickness of the insulation is at least 10 cm, otherwise its effectiveness will be insufficient.

Prices for mineral wool

The slats of the main crate should also be of the same height. The block house is fixed on a counter-lattice, slats with dimensions of 20 × 30 mm are suitable for it. For example, consider a house with wooden walls, we will fasten the elements with self-tapping screws or nails of the appropriate length. To fix the block house, small finishing studs about 2 cm long are also used. Finishing studs differ from ordinary ones in a small cap and the presence of an anti-corrosion coating. There are options for making finishing nails from stainless alloys.

Mineral wool must be protected from evaporation of the building (if the walls are wooden), for this, vapor barrier non-woven materials are used.

Step 2 Soak lumber with antiseptics.

If you want to additionally paint the boards, then it is better to do this even before the start of wall upholstery. Sometimes the corners and slopes of the house are sheathed with boards of a darker color - before starting work, they should also be painted.

Use only high-quality paints or wood varnishes for outdoor use. It takes a very long time to repaint buildings, it takes a lot of time to remove the old layer. It is much more profitable to immediately buy, albeit expensive, but high-quality materials.

The block house should be processed three times. Prime the first time, paint the second time and finish the third time after installation. The lacquered block house looks very nice, it is better to use these materials.

Step 3 Cover the wall with vapor barrier. The material is sold in rolls. Start fixing it from the bottom up, overlapping at least 10 cm. You can fix it with a stapler. Be sure to seal the seams with special or ordinary tape. Make sure that there are no wrinkles or sags on the surface.

Practical advice. If you are not sure about the weather, then do not sheathe the whole house at once, but in turn each wall. This will reduce the risk of surfaces getting wet during sheathing.

Step 4 Install the frame under the insulation. There are some nuances here. The fact is that in the future, a counter-lattice will be fixed to this main crate directly under the block house. This means that the distance between the vertical posts should not exceed 60 cm, consider this parameter when choosing a heater. Most manufacturers produce products with such dimensions.

Pay great attention to the frame near the window and doorways. In these places, you will have to fix the extra slats under the insulation with the expectation that they will come in handy during the creation of the counter-lattice.

The first frame must be precisely aligned vertically. How it's done?

1. Check the position of the walls with a plumb line. Unscrupulous builders can overwhelm them a little, if such a problem is found, then the plane will have to be leveled due to the lining under the rails. Or vice versa, in some places, squeeze them into a cone.
2. At a distance of no more than 10 cm from the corners, fix the extreme rails, once again check their horizontal position. We recommend using a plumb line, the level at a high height of the house can make noticeable errors. Pull the ropes between them at the top and bottom.
3. Make a markup for the rest of the rails. We have already mentioned that you need to take into account the dimensions of the glass wool and allowable distances fixing the block house.
4. Fix the slats to the wall one by one. First, put it against the wall, if necessary - reduce the thickness. Next, you should proceed depending on the wall, everything is fine - fix it, there are problems - align the slats with linings. According to this algorithm, collect the entire crate under the insulation.

The frame is easier to install on metal corners, special slots allow you to accurately install the elements vertically.

Step 5 Replace glass wool. It should fit snugly between the laths of the crate, gaps are strictly not allowed. And not only due to the fact that the heat saving indicator will decrease. Where there is no glass wool, condensation will constantly accumulate. Consequently - wooden structures wet, even the most effective impregnations can't long time protect them from damage. In addition, moisture will get on the glass wool and significantly increase the thermal conductivity.

For fastening glass wool, you need to use special booster cuffs (rondos). They have a wide polyethylene cuff and a self-tapping screw.

You can find recommendations to cover the front surface with a windscreen. Although none of the true professionals can say why this is done and what a positive effect will result in the end. From wind and rain, the insulation perfectly protects the sheathing with a block house. But if you wish, buy a windscreen and fasten it with a stapler to the rails.

This completes the insulation work, start sheathing the outer walls of the house. Do not postpone further work for a long time, if rains are planned, then securely cover the surfaces with plastic wrap.

Prices for different types of bars

Block house wall cladding

Step 1. On the first main batten, install the slats of the counter batten. It is now easy to do this, all the laths of the crate are in the right position. We have already mentioned that slats 20x30 mm can be used for the counter-lattice.

Step 2 Beat off the line of the first row. This is very important point made mistakes are difficult to correct. Especially if you will do the corners in a professional way. We will talk about the methods of finishing internal and external corners a little lower. The line can be made with a laser level. If not, then use ordinary water. It is much easier to work with it, in addition, the possibility of error is completely eliminated.

Step 3 Cut off the protruding ends of the crate along the bottom line.

Important. When you seal the lower and upper parts of the cladding, be sure to leave air for natural ventilation of the structure.

Step 4 Place the first board exactly along the line and secure it with studs. They will have to be driven in from both sides of the block house. At the bottom into the groove, and at the top into the spike. Carnations drive in at an angle, work carefully, do not allow the spike or groove to be chipped.

Step 5 After the first row is done, continue laying in the same way. Often the length of the wall exceeds the length of the block house. How to deal with joints? There are two options.

1. Simplest. Place the joints on the same vertical line. At the ends of the board, nails can be driven into the front surface, their length should be 2 cm longer than the thickness of the boards. Later, a vertical board about 20 mm thick and 10–15 cm wide is nailed to the junction. It can be varnished or painted in dark color. All corners of the building, platbands and slopes are finished with the same boards. Advantages: work is simplified and accelerated. There is no need to precisely adjust each joint, measure the dimensions of individual pieces of the block house. Disadvantages - it is clear that the work was done by a fake master.
2. Difficult way. Joints should not be placed on the same line, but in a checkerboard pattern. The house becomes much more attractive, but it will also take longer to work: all sections must be perfectly fitted, each piece of the block house is individually adjusted in length.

House after block house installation

Now we should talk separately about the decoration of external and internal corners. There are also two methods here. Simple - the block house is fitted end-to-end, and the corners are clogged with ordinary planed boards. Works quickly, no skill required. The disadvantage is that it is not very beautiful, and to put it mildly, the facade walls only remotely resemble natural timber. The question is, why buy an expensive block house in order to eventually spoil the appearance of the building? We will tell you how real professional builders do it.

Interior corner finishing

We immediately warn you that you will have to lose a lot of time, but the result will please you.

Step 1. Install the boards on one wall of the inner corner along the entire height. Constantly monitor their position. If in simple ways horizontal alignment is allowed due to a slight displacement of the block house at the junctions, then this option requires special accuracy in all work.

Step 2 Make a template. It is made from pieces of thin plywood, fiberboard or thick cardboard. The length of the template should be equal to the width of the block house, the width of the template should be within 10 cm. Cut a rectangle of the correct shape from a piece, put it at the end of two boards so that the line of symmetry of the template is located exactly at the junction of the boards. With a pencil on the surface, draw the profiles of the front parts of the block house. The end result should look something like the letter M.

Step 3 Turn the board over with the convex face down, place the template against a flat reverse side and copy the outline. Make sure that the sharp ledge is located exactly in the middle of the board.

Step 4 Electric jigsaw carefully cut out the outline. The front side of the block house is semicircular, it is quite difficult to keep the board stationary. You can make a special fixture with a recess along the radius of the board, if you don’t want to do this, then use various improvised materials to fix the position of the board.

Step 5 Attach the board to the place of the upcoming joint. It will not be possible to adjust the connection the first time, you will have to do it in two stages. If you cut the profile for the template correctly, then the gaps in the connection will not exceed 3–4 mm, but they should also be eliminated.

Step 6 Insert the prepared workpiece and spike, slide it all the way into the sheathed wall surface.

Step 7 With a sharpened pencil, draw a new, more precise outline. To do this, the pencil must be pressed along the entire length to the front of the profile and slowly lead it along the surface of two block houses. The tip of the pencil at this time should draw a line on the workpiece. Through such a simple operation, it will be possible to remove exact dimensions to fit inside corner.

Step 8 Again, lay the board on a flat place, hold it steady. Using an electric surface grinder, remove excess parts from the end of the block house. Working with a grinder is easy, but noisy and dusty.

Remove the burrs from the front side with a fine sandpaper. You can take the exact dimensions of the boards along the length only after fitting the connection in the corner, do not forget about it. Practice shows that already at the 5th or 6th connection, experience appears, work goes faster. It must be remembered that materials should be purchased for such sheathing. well-known manufacturers. The thickness, radius of the bulge and the width of the boards must be the same. Unfortunately, not all woodworking companies can meet high quality requirements.

That's all, we assure you that the connection will be perfect. Of course, it will take much more time.

Important. Be sure to re-impregnate the ends of the fitted boards with antiseptics. This applies to all cuts, not just corners.

Finishing of external corners

The prerequisites for sheathing the house are the same - the perfect accuracy of the position of the rows. If for the inner corners of the plane the connection of the block house on the adjacent walls occurs along the line of symmetry of the board, then the position of the locks for the outer ones should be at the same level.

The connection is made by sawing the ends at an angle of 45°. Depending on the parameters of the facade walls, this angle may slightly increase or decrease. There is no need to measure very accurately. There may be a gap on the back at the junction, the main thing is that it should not be on the front. Further, everything is unchanged - remove the burrs and protect the ends from rot.

Corners docked at 45°

We recommend this professional method of joining in the corners to be used when decorating the interior of the house. If outside it is allowed to use multi-colored boards to close simple joints, then designers prohibit their use during interior decoration.
