Plastic is cheap and has good properties, but nothing can replace a man proven by the centuries old tree . The smooth and beautiful surface made by such a lining keeps the heat well, protects from noise and has a cozy appearance. But we must not forget that natural materials are still more susceptible to dampness, fungi and external influences than an artificially created metal or plastic. If you want the lining to last a long time and not lose its appearance over the years, you need to carry out some simple measures to protect the outer layer of wood.
How to cover the lining inside the house?
The tree is afraid most of all excessive moisture, mold , fungi, ultraviolet, harmful insects. At the moment, the following groups of protective equipment can be distinguished:
- Compositions with protective functions only.
- Compositions that combine protective and decorative functions.
The first substances include various primers, without which at the moment there is no self-respecting woodworker. After complete drying, they change the structure of the material, but are not completely visible on the surface. The second category belongs to paints and varnishes, which have the properties to completely change the appearance of the lining.
The better the paint lining?
The list of those compositions with which you can cover your lining is quite large. Approach to choice should be very thoughtful, because this will completely depend on the interior of your house. Let's list the most popular paints presented on the market today:
- Stain . They are produced on a water basis, based on alcohol, solvents, wax. The stain is supplied in a liquid concentrated form, powdery, or ready for use. This substance does not form a film on the tree, as usually happens with paint, but penetrates inside. We can see the texture of the material. Treated wood after impregnation with stain can change its original color. It seems that we are dealing with a completely different breed of wood. Those compounds that are prepared with alcohol and solvents have strong protective properties.
- Decorative enamel . The structure of the tree beneath it is completely invisible. Apply it only to a dry lining and always in several layers. If we compare enamel with varnishes, then on a large surface its use leads to a somewhat higher consumption of the material.
- Alkyd varnish . It is a special resin dissolved in white spirit. You put it on a tree, and the solvent begins to evaporate, after which the resin will polymerize. Apply such a varnish in several layers with an interval of not less than one day. Reduces this period of special additives, hardeners.
- Acrylic awnings . Choosing which varnish to cover the lining, people often pay attention to the environmental friendliness of the material. Acrylic compounds quickly dry and do not smell. For the floor, this varnish is not very good, it is not a wear-resistant material, but for walls or ceiling it is not bad at all. In addition, this varnish can be tinted using it as a substitute for conventional decorative glaze.
- Acrylate paint . At a cost it is higher than water-dispersed compounds, but it has the best technical qualities. The material is applied with an ordinary roller, completely spreading over the surface. Painted with such a paint lining has wear-resistant properties, and will not require repair for many years.
- Decorative glaze . It can, how to emphasize the structure of the tree, and with the help of tinting, give it a special color. Usually glaze consists of two components, which are mixed before work. The surface after treatment acquires not only gloss, but also increased strength.
Incorrect processing of the tree can lead to the fact that lining in the first few years of operation can completely burn out in the sun, will become unpresentable. It will be cheaper to change it than to bring it back to normal again. At the moment, the best protection for wood is painting the lining inside the house. Lacquer or various coloring compositions literally conserve the original appearance of your lining, saving it for later years.
