The lining can last for more than a dozen years, but natural wood darkens over time and becomes unattractive. Painting the lining, impregnation with protective agents will preserve a beautiful facade or interior decoration. The treatment will increase the fire resistance, resistance to dampness, and prevent the development of microorganisms.

Description of the lining and the need for its processing
The finishing material is intended for cladding exterior walls of the house and interior surfaces... Lamellas are obtained by sawing, planing wood, so the lining retains the properties and characteristics of natural wood. Products are distinguished by geometric shape and wood type.
The need for painting dictated by the following factors:
- loss of color the old finishing layer, its darkening partially or over the entire surface;
- previously painted material dims, stop shining;
- appear on the plane grease stains, mold.
They paint the lining if it is decided to change the interior, but the color of the natural wood does not fit into the new style. Apply opaque and glaze compositions.
The choice of means for painting lining
The clapboard on the facade will collapse most of all, since negative factors act on the finishing. To extend the service life, various protection is used, and decorative paints and varnishes increase the attractiveness of the structure.
Compositions are used:
- preservative (protective) drugs;
- decorative means;
- paints for indoor use.
Fire retardants are designed to reduce the flammability of wood, such an impregnation is mandatory. Bactericides and antiseptics they penetrate deeply and make natural material unattractive for bugs and fungi.
Protective compounds
Protect the material from the action of ultraviolet rays, dampness, rot, mold... They are applied to the surface of the cladding, regardless of the further decorative coating.
Use varieties of protective equipment:
- varnishes;
- wax;
- oils;
- liquid plastic;
- combination drugs.
Lucky subdivided into acrylic, synthetic, yacht varnish are distinguished separately. They are produced with shine, matte, transparent and with the addition of a shade. Yacht varnish forms a durable protective coating while maintaining the grain pattern. Synthetic varnishes are more toxic, with an unpleasant odor, but their effectiveness and low cost are the reason for their popularity.
An alternative is considered wax, oil or wax-oil paintsmade from natural ingredients such as beeswax and linseed oil. The compositions are expensive, therefore they are used in critical places. Liquid plastic used as separate areas, because.it belongs more to the decorative category, while completely depriving the tree of the ability to breathe.
Decorative paints
Properties of oil formulations:
- form a vapor-tight film;
- dry for a long time (24 - 48 hours);
- after 2 - 3 years they lose their color intensity.
Alkyd-based enamels and paints take for work inside and outside the cottage, summer kitchen, bathhouse, garage. Produced in a wide range of colors, often with a glossy effect on the surface. The film gradually fades under the influence of insolation.
Oily are distinguished by viscosity, color, drying time, transparency. There are natural and composite compounds that are used for painting and decorative impregnation for further varnishing.
Interior paints
Use varieties:
- acrylic paints retain their color for a long time, elastic, not subject to cracking;
- water-based - the most budgetary option, but the paint is mixed with a pigment and various colors are obtained;
- latex - expensive products, form a film resistant to chemical irritants, water-resistant with a constant color;
- stains - impregnate the lining before varnishing.
Features of painting
Select materials according to design requirements. The light color of the lining increases the volume of the room, and the dark one makes it smaller.
You should not buy inexpensive paints from an unknown manufacturer. According to the results, you will have to apply several layers instead of one or two high-quality composition, so savings will not work.
What you need to know before starting work
Before applying paint mix thoroughly until smooth... Storage in a store or warehouse leads to thickening, precipitation, so this stage is not overlooked. Do test color to determine the color after drying - many films come out lighter or darker than expected.
Color subtleties:
- the composition is applied in thin layers so as not to create drips;
- the next layer is done after the previous one has dried;
- for painting the surface within one wall or ceiling, paint material is taken from one batch of release.
If it is necessary to interrupt the work, the border of the future docking is left so that it is not in a visible area.
Tools and materials
It will take tool:
- a bath for diluting paint, dipping a roller with a wringing platform;
- handle for attaching a roller or brush (at high altitude);
- stepladder or scaffold;
- mittens, respirator, foam sponges.
You will need lining paint, solvent, primer. Take the necessary impregnation-antiseptics, fire retardants for protective treatment.
Preparing the lining for painting
Preparation includes three stages: drying, machining and priming. Drying required for high-quality adhesion of the paint to the surface. On a wet lining, the composition will last 1 - 2 years, then it will begin to flake off. Indoors, doors and windows are opened to create fresh air.
For cleaning old paint, varnish is applied methods:
- Mechanical. Take a scraper, metal-toothed brushes, a spatula, and a hair dryer. The method is effective, but there is a risk of surface damage.
- Chemical. The surface is lubricated with synthetic washes, artificial solutions. Apply a soda solution (100 g of soda per liter of water). Aggressive components often have an unpleasant odor and can be hazardous to health.
For primers take funds that are combined with new paint. They are applied with a brush.
Painting methods and techniques
Brushing technique performed with a special brush. She removes the top layer on the lining of soft wood. It turns out an uneven surface, which is sanded, covered with a stain to reveal the texture. The surface is varnished.
Patination - the use of two colors, which are close in tone in the palette. The first dark layer is applied oily, waiting for drying. The second is applied thinly, also dried. Part of the upper light paint on the bumps is removed with emery so that the grain pattern becomes distinguishable.
Paraffin treatment get the effect of aging or wear. Paraffin is applied unevenly to the plane, it hardens. After that, the surface is painted in places with and without paraffin. After drying, the paraffin is removed with a spatula.
With and without texture preservation
Some species have a picturesque wood pattern in the place of the cut, so they try to emphasize and develop such a texture before applying varnish.
Use paints and varnishes:
- Stains give wood darkening, but penetrate unevenly into the fibers, therefore they show a pattern. The film does not form on the lining, the material of the wall layer allows steam to pass through and breathes.
- Water based dyes, diluted with alcohol, oil. These drugs are sold in powder form and diluted before use. The tool penetrates deep into the wood, gives the selected shade, reveals texture. It persists well, does not lose intensity over time.
To obtain a pronounced pattern, weakly pigmented compositions are used, and vice versa.
Brush painting
Rules for applying paint with a brush:
- for large surfaces, take a brush 5 - 6 cm wide, for seams and hard-to-reach recesses - 1.5 - 2 cm;
- on the surface, the composition is shaded in the transverse direction;
- the finishing layer is applied with a top-down movement;
- the paint is applied with the tips of the brush, without pressing hard, without bending the bristles at an angle.
Painting with a spray gun
There are some features of working with a spray gun:
- spray evenly, trying not to cover the places several times;
- the device is adjusted so that the jet does not create streaks on the walls or drops on the ceiling;
- use an airless spray unit.
Before work, all border areas are covered with a film, fixed with tape. When using any type of paint, wear a respirator, goggles and protective clothing.
Roller painting
The roller needs a tray in which it is rolled out in order to evenly paint the fur coat, remove excess paint.
When used simultaneously with a brush first rolled with a roller, then the remaining areas are treated with a brush. If you do the opposite, the work will slow down and there will be an overuse of material.
Tips for choosing colors and designs
The colors can be mixed in the interior, but it is better to use no more than three colors, so as not to make a variegated coating (the exception is the children's room).
Rules for applying colors:
- in the living room leave natural wood using pigmented varnishes of a honey or golden hue;
- kitchen painted with warm colors, for example, calm peach, pink, orange, beige and yellow;
- study kept in green, deep blue, steel color.
The bedroom soothing pastel colors, beige, gray-pink, faded green are suitable.
