Wooden lining is beautiful, natural material. It is not surprising that so many users around the world prefer it as a finishing and cladding material.
The environmental friendliness and natural beauty of wood not only decorates the room, but also creates a certain microclimate in it. And the lining covered with a dense coating (paint, varnish) allows you to create any decor.
But, the tree has a significant disadvantage, which affects performance characteristics lining - it undergoes rotting, various damages, and also tends to darken.
This article is intended for those who want to protect and at the same time keep the lining in its natural form. Consider step by step how and what is better to cover (impregnate, process, paint).
I must say that the “take a brush, paint and paint” method is good, precisely because of its simplicity. But how long will wood painted in this way last? Wouldn't it be better to choose a more thorough and correct approach?
Proper painting of wooden lining consists of 4 stages:
Stage 1 - preparing the lining for painting
For eurolining, such a stage will be superfluous, since manufacturers are guided by the European standard, which provides for mandatory primary processing of wood with protective compounds.
Those who bought a standard domestic-made lining or deal with an already painted surface must first of all carry out the initial processing of the panels.
Preparing a new lining
Preparation of new slats includes:
- sorting. It is known that the intersection of varieties up to 10% is allowed. That is, a batch of first grade lining may contain up to 10% of second grade lamellae. In order not to disturb the surface, they need to be sorted;
- drying. Purchased lamellas must be dry before installation;
- aging in temperature regime premises in which it is planned. It is natural to heat the sauna so that the boards “warm up” makes no sense. But here it is necessary to lie for 2-3 days in the room where they will be installed by the boards;
- removal of defects. The surface defects of the lining include chips, roughness, the appearance of blue, white spots, dead (falling out) knots. On part of the panels, defects can not be touched. This is due to the fact that in the process of work, a short lining will be needed. For example, for finishing under a window or above a door. However, in order to proceed with the installation on an open surface, the boards must be cleaned of defects by bleaching (for this purpose, it is recommended to use SenezhNeo or Hoarfrost). Grease stains can be removed by deresining - rubbing with a 25% acetone solution. Roughness is removed with sandpaper (sandpaper) or a metal brush.
Preparation of the operated (old) lining
Unfortunately, painting a wooden lining is not an action that can be performed once for the entire period of its operation. Painting lining is a process that needs to be repeated periodically.
In the event that it is necessary to paint previously painted, varnished surfaces, the panels must also be pre-treated.
When to paint the lining:
- peeling of the bottom layer of paint;
- loss of lamella color;
- loss of gloss of paint or varnish;
- the appearance of a significant defect, for example, the ingress of fat, oil, solvent, other dye, the manifestation of fungi on the surface of the lining;
- new style, thirst for change and fashion. For example, the existing color of the lining does not fit into the updated interior of the house and other factors.
How to clean the lining from varnish, paint and dirt
Take off old paint or varnish from lining in two ways:
- Mechanical. In this case, the existing coating is removed with a scraper, wire brush or blow dryer and a spatula. To completely remove the paint, you need to treat the boards with a solution of soda (100 g of soda for 1 liter of water). A significant disadvantage of the method is the possibility of damaging the lamellas with a scraper. Tip: this method is suitable for cleaning the lining from oil paint.
- Chemical. It involves the use of various synthetic solutions and compositions (washes, softeners), which contribute to the peeling of the paint from the base. It is worth noting that the chemical method is quite aggressive. Work with solutions in a well-ventilated area with the necessary personal protective equipment. After removing the surface layer, the lamellas should be washed with water or rubbed with white spirit.
Painted lining in the urban interior is rarely used, it is sometimes used as a sheathing for loggias or balconies. In private buildings, painted panels are used much more often, because they look very harmonious in country interiors. Varieties of such design will be discussed below.
Types of lining
Plank cladding differs in the material of manufacture, and finishing panels are also classified according to external qualities, connection options.
- From a tree. Such boards are made from coniferous or deciduous trees: aspen, beech, ash, pine and others.
- From plastic. This variety is made from PVC materials by forcing molten plastic through a forming device. Extrusion allows you to give the object the desired shape.
- From MDF. Unlike wooden type, lining in this case is not planed out of wood, but glued together from wood shavings, due to which it receives a high density. Harmful impurities are not used in the manufacture.
- From aluminium. Sheathing from this material is only suitable for external cladding. Its advantages are light weight and anti-corrosion properties. The disadvantages were weak protection from physical impact, slight thermal insulation, so it is not used in the decoration of the interior of the house.
Depending on the quality of the material, the lining is divided into:
- High class, which is indicated as "0" or "extra". Boards high class have no damage, they did not use the core of the tree in their manufacture.
- The lowest class, which is denoted by "C". In such elements, there may be 1-2 imperceptible knots, stains from painting, and other defects.
Lining profiles
The appearance of the boards and the recesses for connecting them to each other determine the profile of the lining.
The most popular are:
Painting lining
Walls covered with plain clapboard are not suitable for all styles, so painting is often required. wooden planks suitable color for the interior.
The problem of painting is especially acute for owners country house, since it is there that this method of sheathing is most often used.
Some people believe that no compounds should be applied to the inner lining, but not in all conditions it will be able to maintain its appearance without them.
With poor ventilation, the tree may turn blue, under the sun - grayish. There are methods to deal with these problems: blued boards are treated with oxygen or chlorine-containing compounds, and then coated with protective compounds.
Grayed wood is sanded to obtain original form, but without coating, the tree will soon turn gray again. Therefore, painting the boards immediately after installation will be the right decision.
Liquids for wood protection are available in the form of:
Painting rules
Coating panels with paint consists of several stages, the strict implementation of which will ensure a long service life of the painted surface.
Stage 1. Boards are checked for defects, all damaged elements are rejected. Damaged boards are useful for testing shades, determining the number of layers.
Stage 2. Panels that have been sorted are sanded to a smooth state. Better to use grinder, but sandpaper attached to the timber is also suitable. Sandpaper should be grit 240-290. Grinding is carried out in a circular motion, processed front side, groove, spike. Inner part may not be processed.
Stage 3. The coloring composition is applied with a brush or roller. A small amount of paint is distributed over the bar with short strokes, then shaded.
Stage 4. After uniform staining, the boards are left to dry.
Stage 5. When working with varnishes or paints of a dense structure, it is necessary to sand the surface again.
Stage 6. A second layer of the substance is applied and left to dry.
To preserve the wood structure, pigmented oils, azure or wax are used. First, the coloring composition is fragmentarily applied to the entire length of the board, then the strokes are shaded with a brush and left to soak for 7-10 minutes.
To bring out the wood pattern, wipe off most of the oil coating with a soft cloth. Due to this, pigment remains in the furrows, and there is almost no pigment in the convex places. In the decor, this type of painting is used for the interior surfaces of the building.
Modern paints and varnishes allow you to get the effect of a two-color lining with pronounced texture. For the first layer, take a dark shade, for the second - more saturated or white. The board is covered with the first layer, left for 10-12 minutes, and then the excess is wiped off with a lint-free cloth.
Leave to dry for a day. Then covered with oil light color, after 10 minutes, treat with a spatula, leave to dry for 24 hours.
Ideas for coloring
Painting the lining inside the house has many variations: photos of the interiors will show the variety of existing ideas. One of the novelties of decoration was the combination smooth walls and wood paneling.
The combination of boards of different thicknesses looks unusual. Thin panels are inserted between wide ones, and then the boards are painted with the same color, but with different intensities.
Waves or depressions on the wall are formed from even boards and eurolining. To accentuate the lighting zones on the walls, you can play with color: near the lamps, the sheathing is painted with light paint to highlight this area.
The lining on the massive ceilings is whitewashed, and the beams are covered with dark paint. The room looks modern, despite the usual cladding materials.
In showers and bathrooms, wood cladding also has a place to be. It is important to make high-quality ventilation of the room and treat the boards with moisture-resistant impregnation. Warm shades of wood around the perimeter and bright tiles on the floor will give the bathroom a spectacular look.
For a child's bedroom, you can make a painting on the lining. After drying, the resulting picture is varnished / oiled without color.
Painted lining when decorating rooms is suitable for admirers of natural materials in the interior. A large selection of panel painting methods will allow you to create an exclusive wall covering that will protect the lining from damage and extend its service life.
Surface finished natural wood may also need to be painted. Why this is necessary and how it is done - we will try to figure it out. So, the topic of our today's article is how to paint the lining.
Why is this needed?
Indeed, why do you need to paint wood with its beautiful textured surface?
Scenario two:
- The lining is painted with a protective varnish (often tinted) precisely in order to preserve it appearance for the longest possible time.
The lacquer stops the process of wood fermentation upon contact with atmospheric oxygen. As a result, the outer layer remains light not for a year or two, but for decades. - If the wood has already darkened, the paint will make a rather unattractive surface, if not so natural, but at least look decent.
Tip: only the thin outer layer of wood darkens. In most cases, it is enough to treat the surface of the darkened lining with a grinder and paint it tinted in dark color(to hide polishing flaws) with varnish.
Material selection
Let's start with one of the stumbling blocks in wood painting debates: do I need a primer?
The answer can be given quite unequivocally: it is not necessary. On the porous surface of wood, any paint or varnish holds perfectly without a primer. The primer will only reduce the consumption of paint and varnish material when applying the first layer.
What about the choice of the actual paint material?
Lucky
A thoughtful reading of thematic forums will bring us a whole bunch of recommendations based on personal experience.
- Drying oil. Traditional coating will be inexpensive and effective way tree protection. Oiling the lining is needed at least twice, with the complete drying of each layer.
Alas, during drying, you will have to keep the windows open. Drying oil smells, and quite strongly.
- Yacht varnish- Not the cheapest, but very durable option.
- Colorless water-soluble varnishes based on acrylate not only protect the tree from darkening, but also will not irritate you with pungent odors during the drying process.
A typical representative is the Tikkurila Panel-Yassya matte lacquer. - Polyurethane varnish it is especially durable and makes it possible to reliably protect the surface of the lining from dirt and wear where it is often touched. The main disadvantage is the cost.
Paints
It all depends on your goals.
- Alkyd enamels(PF-115 and analogues) will give a dense glossy finish.
- Acrylic-based water-based paints make the surface matte. At the same time, two thin layers of liquid paint will help preserve the texture of the wood: bumps, knots and layers in the boards will be quite clearly visible.
Coloring
- Cleaning the lining surface. Dust and dirt can be washed off with any detergent. It's a good idea to lighten and degrease the wood.
Tip: alkaline detergents can do everything listed features straightaway.
Armed with a sponge and a container of Whiteness, in a short time you will get a clean, fat-free surface, maximally clarified by the chlorine contained in the liquid.
- We grind the surface. An ordinary pumice stone will do; it is even better to arm yourself with a grinder with a couple of types of emery - large and small.
- Antiseptic primer will be the next step. It is applied with a roller or spray gun; in the first case, in the recesses and irregularities, you will have to take up the brush.
- Transparent varnishes and paints are applied in the same way - at least two thin layers. In this case, the last layer is applied along the fibers of the wood so that the stripes are not visible.
It is better to paint with a brush, since the roller will not paint over the grooves and gaps between the boards.
The best tool is a regular brush
Conclusion
Finally, one more piece of advice. It is optimal to paint and varnish the lining in the absence of direct sunlight, at a moderate temperature and constant humidity. Then the coating will be the most durable and durable. Good luck with the repair!
- protective equipment
- What varnish to choose for a new wooden lining
- Painting of the old coating
For indoor and outdoor finishing works often such wonderful material as wooden lining is used. The wood option has a number of useful qualities.

- excessive moisture, sunlight;
- fire, chemical substances;
- mechanical factors (friction, etc.);
- pollution of various kinds.
For example, if a loggia or a balcony, an attic in the country house is finished from the inside, then wood material, usually exposed to ultraviolet radiation, seasonal humidity, mold fungus, etc. In the bath, the skin experiences temperature fluctuations, exposure to moisture and other negative factors. If the entrance hall is decorated with wood, then the material may lose its appearance due to mechanical friction, pollution, etc.
protective equipment
For guard wooden surface from the effects of various physical and chemical factors are used special means, and some of these funds are applied even before the installation of the lining.
In particular, this applies to antiseptics. It is antiseptic compounds that protect wood from pests and mold. By the way, some European manufacturers sell wooden sheathing material that has already been treated with an antiseptic, as evidenced by the corresponding marking.
As for fire retardants, they increase the fire resistance of the material. But for protection from the sun, moisture, friction and chemicals, you can use varnishes and paints. It should be noted that before painting the lining inside the house, it must be treated with a primer, then with an antiseptic, and then with paints and varnishes. It is this sequence of processing that guarantees durability and aesthetic appearance. finishing material throughout the entire period of operation. In the event that a bathhouse in the country is finished with clapboard, then in addition to the antiseptic, one cannot do without a fire retardant.
How to paint the lining inside the house? Painting lining, which is finished internal walls premises, is carried out with paints and varnishes that are intended for processing wood and internal works. The advantage of lining at this stage is that the surface of this material is polished and does not require additional alignment before painting. Of course, this applies to the new lining, but in order to update the old painted surface, it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation - cleaning the surface.
Which varnish to choose
As noted earlier, before installation, the entire surface of the new lining must be treated with a primer, antiseptic and dried for at least 2 days. After that, the boards are mounted and varnished or covered with paint. Since the lining has a beautiful appearance, it is better not to radically change the color of the finishing material. You can simply varnish the wood - and it will shine, creating an atmosphere of warmth and lightness.
It should be noted that the painting of the lining inside the house is carried out using the following types of varnish:
- acrylate;
- water based;
- polyurethane.
With the help of varnishes, you can get a glossy or silky surface without shine. In addition, varnishes may contain coloring pigments. Varnishes are diluted with appropriate solvents (water, white spirit, xylene, ether, alcohol, etc.).
Alkyd varnishes and varnishes based on polyurethane are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, as they have good protective properties.
Acrylic varnishes are used for interior work. They preserve the natural color of the wood and protect from the effects of sunlight. Alkyd varnishes are moisture resistant. They make the wood resistant to chips and cracks. The main disadvantage of alkyd varnishes is a strong smell and a long drying time.
When applying polyurethane varnishes, a coating is created that is resistant to moisture, ultraviolet rays, and chemicals. A significant drawback is the high price.
Painting a new wooden lining
On what basis is it best to choose varnishes for lining? For painting lining, water-based varnishes are best suited. Such materials are environmentally friendly, odorless and dry quickly. However, water-based varnishes are best used only for interior work. Their main advantage is ease of use, harmlessness and reasonable cost.

Correctly apply the next layer of varnish should be only after the previous one has completely dried..
In addition to varnishes, for painting lining indoors, you can use the following types of paints for woodwork:
- water-based;
- pentaphthalic enamels;
- enamels on chlorosulfonated polyethylene;
- urethane-alkyd enamels.
Water-based lining paint (water-based) can create matte and semi-matte finishes. Such paints are used for interior work and are not washed off with water. However, they should not be used in rooms with high humidity. For a room with high humidity, it is better to treat the lining with organosilicate materials that create a shiny smooth surface.
As for various types of enamels, they usually contain coloring pigments, change the natural color of the wood and are suitable for repainting lining. Enamel paint for lining is resistant to water and detergents.
In addition to traditional varnishes and paints, it is also possible to color wood with natural dyes - stains, stains, and wax-based paints.
What kind of varnish or paint to choose for coloring? The choice depends on the operating conditions of the material and the requirements for the paintwork. Properly selected paint material is a guarantee of durability and aesthetic appearance of wooden sheathing.
