Ceiling installation in a private log house

A wooden house has many advantages over a building with brick or block walls. And arranging the ceiling doesn’t take the most last place, since it does not happen reinforced concrete floors. Well, the design of beam-type floors has its own characteristics, which will be discussed further.

Ceiling arrangement

Attention: If desired, you can even fill the shingles and plaster the ceiling. But think about the fact that wood breathes and is a natural material, and it is impossible would be better suited for this work. There is one more nuance that should be taken into account when choosing. If under construction new house, it will shrink. And wood reacts well to movement and does not deteriorate, whereas, for example, drywall can warp.

And here are some great ideas for installing a wooden ceiling:

And this is only a small part of what can be done on the ceiling using wood.

Vapor barrier

Ceiling repair in wooden house, if it leaks, it is carried out with a vapor and waterproofing device.

For this work you can choose several materials:

• Standard vapor barrier film which prevents the formation of condensation on roofing materials and insulation;
• Film using foil, which also performs a reflective function and has increased insulating properties. The advantage of this material is that it also reflects heat and does not allow you to leave the room. This product is recommended for use in rooms with high humidity: bathrooms, steam room, sauna, swimming pool;
• A membrane film that allows you to control the entry and exit of excess moisture from the room. IN In this option, the amount of output is set using a membrane;
• Membrane film, only having variable vapor permeability for wet and dry conditions. As the humidity in such a structure increases, its throughput capacity increases.

Attention: Before installing a vapor barrier, it is necessary to determine the most critical areas. These are points of contact with warm and moist air. This is, first of all, the area of ​​the draft ceiling. Therefore, vapor barrier here should be done especially well.

This work is performed in the following sequence:

• First, the material is laid out on the surface;
• After this, the edges are wrapped and secured;

Attention: Mounting vapor barrier material to the ceiling is done on the side that allows moisture to pass through, and not vice versa.

• The joints of the material are overlapped. When focusing on structural elements, do not cut, but bend the film and only then secure it.

Thermal insulation

Cannot be made without good thermal insulation. It will protect the room from cold penetration and save heating costs. Moreover, this work can be done with your own hands, thereby saving costs.

Materials

Nowadays, there are many materials that can be used to insulate the ceiling in a wooden house:

• Mineral wool, is a thermal insulating fibrous insulation material that is made from mineral raw materials. Used for thermal insulation of ceilings;
• Cellulose insulation ecowool, which contains harmless non-volatile substances. Resists open fire, does not rot, has good performance heat and sound insulation. Used for insulating wooden ceilings;
• Styrofoam, this is probably the most used material. It is not expensive and lightweight. Easy and quick to install. It has great durability. Has good heat and sound insulation. True, it has one significant drawback: mice can infest it, so it is better not to use it for floor insulation in a private house.
• Expanded clay, this is a natural porous material that is made from clay rocks. Resistant to low temperatures, therefore it is used as insulation in places with harsh climatic conditions. It also has high sound insulation;
• Granular insulation, which consists of sawdust, glue and antiseptic. This element has high thermal insulation and average sound insulation.

Installation of thermal insulation

Thermal insulation is carried out according to the following scheme:

• A vapor barrier is laid on the ceiling surface. During installation, the elements should not be cut to size, but more than 5 cm from the final size. This is necessary in order to overlap the material to the floor beams. This can be done using a construction stapler;
• After this, the installation of thermal insulation begins. If it is slab or roll material, its width must correspond to the step ceiling beams. When the width is not enough, you have to insert the missing pieces, which is not very convenient. The most important thing is that the interblock space is tightly filled.

Attention: If you carry out insulation using mineral wool, you lay it in the joint. If foam plastic sheets are used, then you need to leave a small gap between them, which after installation is filled with polyurethane foam.

• If you lay insulation in several layers, then the next layer is laid in such a way that it overlaps the joints of the previous row;
• And the last step is to attach the top boards, which will cover the layer of thermal insulation - you can replace them with thick plywood.
• If we talk about the practicality of foam plastic and mineral wool, then preference should be given to the second material. Mineral wool does not burn and retains heat better.

It also better insulates sound and allows wooden elements to breathe. Polystyrene foam, in the event of a fire, supports combustion and at the same time emits rather acrid smoke.

Ceiling systems

The final feature in finishing the ceiling wooden house, the front surface will be created. There are many materials available at retail for this job. The prices for them are quite different - it all depends on the quality and your desire.

Videos and photos on this topic can be found on our website and select the desired design.

Wood materials

Wood is environmentally friendly pure material, which promotes air exchange and creates the desired indoor climate. Only before installation should such an element be treated with a special impregnation, which increases its fire resistance and prevents the formation of mold and rot. After this, you can process it using stain and varnish.

In this case, the following materials are used for finishing the ceiling:

• Wood siding;
• Lining (see);
• Beam;
• False ceiling;
• The ceiling is embossed.

As a rule, three types of wooden ceilings are made:

• The ceiling is sheathed, in which the beams below are sheathed with boards. A vapor barrier is placed between the attic lining and the ceiling boards. In such cases, roofing material or glassine is used as a vapor barrier. The flooring is made of boards, on which you can move freely and without fear of damaging the vapor and waterproofing;
• The ceiling is flat, which is made on floor beams or without them. In this design, the boards are placed directly on top part wall strapping. After this, a vapor barrier is laid on their surface, on top of which thermal insulation is applied. Most often, ecowool is used in this design.

Attention: This ceiling design is only used for small buildings. The width of which does not exceed 2.5 meters. For a large building, such a design is extremely dangerous and ineffective.

• Panel wooden ceiling, which can also be installed in a bathhouse. In this design, factory-made blind-type panels are used. First, support bars are nailed to which the panels are attached.
• Thermal insulation and waterproofing in this design are made with the same materials as mentioned earlier. But there is also a peculiarity of installing such a ceiling: before attaching the panels, a layer of tow is laid on the walls, and the external seams are sewn up with boards.

There are some features of such ceilings:

• The structure must be perfectly even and smooth, without any differences.
  This quality is most easily achieved using sheets of plywood and tongue and groove boards. Their fastening is carried out using hidden or visible installation.
  After this, finishing is carried out, which includes polishing the surface, coating with an antiseptic, putty and painting;
• If you have communications in the room that need to be hidden, then the fastening should be done directly to the beams. Fastening in this case is quite simple;
• If the decision is made to install a suspension system, then it is attached to the beams using special devices;

To install wooden lining, correctly calculate the material and method. When placed along the length of the room, you will visually lengthen it; when installed perpendicularly, you will reduce it.

Suspended structures

Such ceilings have long been in fashion. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. But there are some installation features in a wooden house. A variety of lamps can be built into them, including illuminated stained glass windows.

To do this, you will need to do wiring, and you should not forget that wood is flammable material. Do not twist the wire.

Make connections using special terminal blocks that will prevent short circuits at the joint. By the way, false beams, which are often used in the design of wooden and plasterboard ceilings, are hollow inside. Therefore, it is very convenient to lay wiring in them.

However suspension systems is a separate topic, which you can read about in detail on the pages of our website. The most important thing is to choose the right material for making the ceiling. And we described in detail how the installation of a ceiling in a wooden house looks in detail enough to try to do it yourself.

A person differs from a pig in that, unlike the latter, he looks not only downward, but also upward in his life. That is why the question of how to make a beautiful ceiling in a private house is relevant for any owner. Each guest will pay attention to the sloppiness overhead, and will criticize it no less than the walls not covered with wallpaper. Therefore, repairing the ceiling with your own hands or with the help of craftsmen is one of the primary tasks. A private house involves a non-standard approach to the installation of ceilings; therefore, selecting materials and finishing the surface correctly is doubly difficult.

The ceiling in a private house should be implemented differently, based on what is located above it. The difference lies in the presence or absence of warm living spaces above the ceiling. Repairs are made from materials, the types of which are determined by the following factors:

• above is a relatively warm room. It’s not a fact that we mean a full-fledged room, but if there is an attic upstairs, adapted for year-round residence, then this type of ceiling is considered internal, and the main requirement for the device is sound insulation and aesthetics;
• located above cold attic. The house does not seem to end there, however, materials for repairs should be selected taking into account the fact that it is quite cold on the other side of the ceiling, which means that good thermal insulation must be provided.

To make the repair correctly, you should take care in advance about the choice of materials for finishing - warm air traditionally rises upward, and if the ceiling design does not provide barriers, then the heat simply escapes into the atmosphere.

Attic upstairs: reliable protection

It is often assumed that there is an attic on top. As for its ceiling, it is already built according to separate rules of thermal insulation, but the presence warm room at the top allows you to avoid insulating the ceiling on the floor below. The main criterion will be only the external beauty of the repairs made.

One of the best ways do the repairs yourself - sheathe the ceiling with boards. The number of types of this material is large enough to diversify the room and make it original. Natural wood looks great in any situation, and for country house In general it will be an ideal solution.

It should be borne in mind that the construction of the ceiling is not limited to wood, which has a predominantly aesthetic function. It is recommended to first make vapor and sound insulation before filling the boards. Both can be done with your own hands - just use plastic film and mineral wool, as an alternative - a layer of sand three-quarters of the height of the beam.

To properly hem the surface with boards, you should remember the reliability of the fastening. When nailing boards to a beam, you should use at least two nails on each side, and for greater durability of the repair, it is advisable to drive each nail at an acute angle to the edge of the board.

Cold attic: insulation as the basis for finishing

When above the ceiling there is, at best, a cold attic, main feature Ceiling devices are not so much soundproofing as they are protection from the cold. To make it truly warm, a layer of thermal insulation material is laid on top, but because of this feature, if it was decided to line the ceiling with boards, they should already be fixed more securely than in the first case. You can do all this with your own hands, however, due to the increased weight of the ceiling, it is possible that it will sag under its own weight, and this factor should be taken into account. This type of repair is much more expensive, but if the cold has reached the very ceiling, then there is nowhere to go.

If the ceiling is too low

The ceiling height in a private house is sometimes amazingly low, which practically eliminates the possibility of properly hemming the covering with your own hands by stuffing boards from the bottom of the floor beams. The choice before the owner remains this: either to lower the ceiling level as much as possible, or to look for a completely different type of solution to the problem.

If there is no room to increase in height, then the main floor should be installed on top of the beams. Accordingly, there will be gaps between them, but this is not a problem. It is recommended to install additional spacers in the gaps to support the weight and that’s it. possible types insulation - from cold, noise and steam. Then, insulation materials decorated with some kind of finishing solution. The support beams will remain visible, but this will not at all spoil the appearance of the ceilings; on the contrary, they can become a kind of highlight in a private home.

Finishing the ceiling

Above, we came to the conclusion that the ceiling can be left wooden, but what we had in mind was rather a rough layer - indeed, do not change the boards every time they visually deteriorate. To avoid such a problem, it is advisable to provide an additional layer of some kind of finish, replacing which is no longer so problematic.

Often, plasterboard, lining, PVC or MDF panels are used for finishing, because their advantages, along with natural beams, are obvious:

1. If additional sheathing is not used, and the flooring is laid on top of the beams, then these materials can be laid even without special level checking - due to the beams, any unevenness will be hidden. Thanks to this, finishing such a ceiling can be easily done with your own hands.
2. Any surface imperfections, including minor scratches, chips or damage, are less noticeable, being shaded by protruding beams.

Most often, finished ceilings are hemmed with materials of light shades, which against the backdrop of contrasting beams painted in dark color, allows you to visually increase the height of the room and make it more voluminous.

This solution is so common that in some cases even in apartment buildings For a similar effect, similar beams are additionally installed.

There are other types of ceiling design in a private house, and here everyone is free to choose for themselves what they like best.

During construction it becomes topical issue about how to make a ceiling in a private house. This design should be both beautiful and warm. There are several options depending on the structure of the building.

Ceiling installation with a residential attic

During the construction of an insulated attic, the following steps are performed. If you take a trimmed part, its thickness is at least 2.5-3 cm. This is a traditional option. The main advantage is that even with large cracks between beams wooden boards do not sag, so no sheathing is needed.

At this stage, we must not forget about the following nuances:

• Securing each board requires at least a couple of nails.
• The fasteners must be driven into the spacer so that the angle to its vertical side is 45°. Thanks to this, the boards are sewn together with a nail so that later the seams do not come apart due to the drying of the product.

The ceiling in the house requires insulation of the floors. It is done as follows:

1. A layer of vapor barrier is placed between the beams. Glassine is used for this purpose. Regular one will also do polyethylene film. It is used because sound insulation materials do not penetrate into cracks and absorb moisture; they are closed using a film.
2. To ensure sound insulation, mineral wool is used. The thickness of the material for a private house is approximately 10 cm. In addition, lime and sawdust are used, mixed with sand. The height of the sound insulation layer is 75% of the beam thickness.

When residential attic for ceilings in a private house it is assumed flooring. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Lay joists and flooring. The best boards for this are approximately 3-4 cm thick. Plywood and OSB are also used. They are laid in layers. The thinner sheet should overlap the seam.
2. Then it is necessary to strengthen the place for access to the attic. For this purpose, timber with a thickness similar to that of beams is used. When the room is not in use, the attic is covered with shields to reduce heat loss.

Installation of a ceiling with a cold attic

First, the filing is done. Most easy method- use simple boards. The tongue-and-groove type is best suited.

If the building is supposed to be one-story, and there will only be a roof on top, then installation is carried out according to the following algorithm of simple actions:

1. First, fix the ceiling in the house. For this purpose, a shield is used, which is made from boards. They also use tongue-and-groove or simple edged parts with a thickness of 2.5 cm. The elements are fastened into the spacer using nails with minimal gaps. Ceilings are also made on OSB board or plywood with a thickness of at least 1.5 cm. This option is more expensive. When using heavy insulation, the structure may sag. As an alternative, in some houses the board is laid on the beams. When low ceilings This perfect option, because the height of the room will not decrease.
2. Vapor barrier. The layer should not dampen, but reduce heat loss due to radiation. Aluminum foil is used for this purpose. Another foil-type material based on polyethylene is also suitable. When a chimney is made in the ceiling, the distance between flammable substances and the stove pipe is at least 30 cm.

Insulation

The construction of the ceiling and roof involves insulating this part of the house so that the cold does not enter the room.

For this purpose, the following materials are used:

1. Mineral wool. It is non-flammable and has good thermal insulation properties, however, during use its quality deteriorates, because the driest mineral wool will begin to cake over time. When choosing ceiling insulation take into account that it contains volatile fibers that irritate organs respiratory system. Another disadvantage is that when improper insulation Over time, the material will begin to absorb moisture. It should not be compacted, because the thicker the layer, the more effective it is.
2. Basalt wool. The ceiling in the house is made with this type of mineral wool with your own hands. The difference between this material and the previous one is significant. Basalt wool It holds its shape well and hardly cakes, but it also picks up moisture.
3. Expanded clay is a variant of coarse-grained insulation. It is fireproof. Usually a layer of 15 cm is sufficient, but it is better to increase it to 30 cm. The only disadvantage of the material is its large total weight, so the structure sag.
4. Styrofoam. When constructing a ceiling in a private house, keep in mind that this is a flammable material. It complies with environmental standards, although there are disputes over the release of harmful compounds. It has excellent heat-insulating properties, since there is almost no air convection inside the layer. Polystyrene foam will not change shape even after 10 years. Therefore, such a moisture-proof and non-hygroscopic material is practical. Some don't vapor barrier layer when using polystyrene foam. However, keep in mind its high cost.

It is important to correctly position hydro, sound and vapor barriers.

The waterproofing coating is laid after the insulation. The only exception is foam.

A special fabric is used as such a layer, but ordinary thick polyethylene film is also used. The material is laid in strips with an overlap of 10 cm. The seams are sealed with tape.

Ceiling finishing

This is the final stage of arranging a private home if the attic will not be used in the future.

To finish the ceiling, whitewash or paint, plaster (structural), and various gypsum decor are used. Stretch and suspended ceilings are popular. Drywall is also used wooden lining, wallpaper. The most used types of finishes:

1. Painting. The option is the simplest. Still popular due to the ease of the process. However, not every color will work. White is considered the traditional option, but it is used in almost every home. Thanks to light colors the room seems bigger. Black, on the contrary, visually reduces the area of ​​the room. When choosing a dark shade interior decoration The walls should have soft tones. Popular now decorative paints with various effects.
2. Plaster. This method makes the ceilings elegant. Various decorations made from polystyrene and gypsum are used. The first option is much easier to install: just a special glue is enough. Parts sell white, at home it is possible to decorate them with any other shade. Another option is to use textured or smooth plaster. Often it imitates marble or panels with patterns. The implementation of such finishing requires a lot of time.
3. Tensioners and dropped ceilings. A very popular option. With the right finishing, the visual perception of the room will change. For example, if a room is too high, it can be visually reduced, and vice versa. To decorate the ceiling, a mirror and smooth surface is used. Additionally, lighting is built in.
4. Wallpaper. The finishing material is also considered very common due to its low cost. But pasting it yourself (without an assistant) is a complicated process and requires skill. Typically used for ceilings plain wallpaper with muted shades. The advantage is that when you get tired of the color, you can easily change it. However, if not used correctly, the material lags behind the surface.

From the correctness of the interfloor and attic floor depends on the durability of the entire structure and beauty finishing coating. To understand how to make a ceiling in a private house, you need to understand in detail the structure of the interfloor ceiling and consider all the structural layers. It is important to follow the sequence of laying floor beams, vapor barrier and waterproofing layer, as well as insulation. This is the only way to completely protect structures from condensation collection and damage. wooden elements and other materials rot and mold.

As a rule, the design of the ceiling in a wooden house is influenced by the purpose of the rooms located on both sides of the ceiling, as well as by the design of the ceiling itself.

The interfloor ceiling consists of the following structural layers:

• there is a subfloor on top;
• Below is a vapor barrier layer;
• thermal insulation material is laid between the floor beams;
• Waterproofing is attached to the beams from below;
• Next, a rough or finished ceiling covering is installed.

Interfloor beams rest on the wall structure. Wooden load-bearing elements Be sure to protect them from rot by treating them with antiseptics. To reduce the flammability of the material, the beams are impregnated with fire retardants. Wood products in contact with walls made of other materials are insulated with roofing felt.

Important! The design of the ceiling depends on the type of room located above (heated or not).

Ceiling with heated attic

The interfloor ceiling separating two heated rooms is distinguished by the fact that condensation that forms at the boundary of the temperature difference does not accumulate in the structure. This is the so-called dew point, where moisture most often accumulates, leading to damage to structures.

In such a ceiling, a significant layer of insulation is not laid. A little thermal insulation material is laid to protect against impact noise. Waterproofing and vapor barrier membranes are also not needed if there is no room with wet processes below or above, for example, a bathroom, kitchen or toilet.

Ceiling with an unheated attic

If the attic is unheated, then the ceiling in a private house must be well insulated. In addition, a layer of vapor and waterproofing is laid in the structure.

All layers in the design of such a floor perform significant functions:

• for ease of movement around the attic, a subfloor is made;
• the vapor barrier membrane allows condensation to evaporate from the thermal insulation material;
• insulation, which is laid between the beam structures, reliably protects the room from the cold and prevents heat loss;
• the waterproofing layer below the insulation protects the material from the penetration of water vapor that rises upward from the lower room;
• a rough or finishing ceiling allows you to level the surface.

Attention! The lack of vapor and waterproofing leads to the accumulation of moisture in the floor structures, which in the future leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of the thermal insulation material and the destruction of wooden structures.

Installation of a ceiling along beams in a wooden house

Ceiling by wooden beams is arranged in several ways:

1. A single-level plasterboard structure serves as a rough base and requires finishing.
2. Two-level plasterboard structures Suitable for rooms with a height of at least 3 meters.
3. Installing a stretch ceiling provides many benefits and can be completed in a matter of hours.
4. Traditional wooden ceilings followed by painting or whitewashing.
5. There is also an option to use each material with exposed and hidden floor beams.

Advice! IN wooden buildings frame type It is better to prefer suspended ceilings, suspended or suspended systems made of plasterboard or ceiling panels.

Materials for rough ceiling lining

If you decide to decorate the ceiling in a wooden house with your own hands, then you can use one of the following materials:

• traditional plywood;
• wooden lining;
• wood panels (MDF, fiberboard or chipboard).

The lining has a tongue-and-groove connection along the longitudinal ends. A rough coating is made from this material, which after painting or other finishing becomes a real finishing cladding. The boards are varnished, impregnated with tinting compounds or painted. It is best to use extra class boards, category A or B. Class C panels are only suitable for utility rooms or used as a rough covering.

Thanks to great variety types of plywood from this material are used to make ceilings in rooms for various purposes:

1. Covering made of laminated moisture-resistant plywood used in places with high humidity.
2. Veneered plywood It is distinguished by its beauty, therefore it is suitable for ceilings in living rooms.
3. Raw sheets Suitable for hemming ceiling surfaces in utility rooms.

Wood boards are mainly used to construct a sub-ceiling. The material is selected according to the purpose of the room. Thus, OSB can be sheathed on the ceiling in rooms with high humidity, while fiberboard and chipboard are suitable only for rooms with normal temperature and humidity levels.

Technology for installing ceiling structures on beams

Now let's talk about how to make a ceiling in a private house, we will describe the sequence of assembling the structure.

Tools and necessary materials

Before you make the ceiling in the house, prepare everything necessary materials and tools:

• hammer;
• ladder;
• screwdriver;
• stapler;
• jigsaw or saw;
• nails;
• suitable hemming material;
• construction or laser level;
• vapor barrier membrane;
• waterproofing film;
• insulation;
• wood screws;
• cranial beam with a section of 5x5 cm (needed if the option with open beams is performed);
• wooden slats for sheathing devices for sheathing.

Laying insulation

Thermal insulation material is usually placed in the spacer between the floor beams. This is how they fit only soft lungs heat insulators. But bulk insulation materials can also be used, which are laid after the installation of the rough filing.

In general, the following materials are used for ceiling insulation:

• expanded clay;
• sawdust;
• stone wool;
• Styrofoam;
• expanded polystyrene;
• mineral wool.

Advice! To save on materials when insulating the attic floor, first lay a small layer of mineral wool, then add a layer of sawdust and make another layer of mineral wool.

Laying vapor barrier film

Before making a ceiling in a wooden house, a vapor barrier layer is attached to the underside of the beam ceilings.

To do this, use one of the following materials:

• multilayer membranes;
• foil insulators;
• reinforced polyethylene films;
• polypropylene materials.

Important! To protect a rough ceiling in a wooden building from steam, two-layer insulators Penofol and Izospan B, as well as three-layer film materials Alucraft, are suitable.

Strips of material are attached to the beams with an overlap of 150 mm. Used for fixation construction stapler or nails. To avoid damaging the insulator, thick cardboard is placed at the attachment point. The joints of the vapor barrier strips are taped with tape. Vapor barrier film They are inserted onto the wall by 300 mm, and the junction points are well sealed.

Installation of a draft ceiling

If you make a ceiling with your own hands in a private house, then a rough coating is usually installed under the finishing layer. If the material allows, then this base is used as a finishing coating after additional processing.

The ceiling in a wooden house is made with your own hands in this order:

1. After installation vapor barrier membrane On top of it we attach a lathing of slats to the floor beams. This design performs several functions at once - it additionally fixes the vapor barrier, serves as support for the insulation between the beams, is the basis for fixing the rough coating and creates the necessary ventilation gap. To fasten 3x4 cm slats, we use screws or nails, which we install in increments of 500 mm.
2. After this, we stuff the selected material for the rough covering onto the sheathing. For fixing plywood or other slab materials We use self-tapping screws, which we screw in every 15 cm. The joint of the plates should be in the middle of the slats.
3. During the work, we check the horizontalness of the surface with a level.
4. If the sheathing is made of lining, then it can be fastened with clamps, screws or nails. Since the last two fasteners are driven into the groove, the risk of cracking the board increases. That is why it is much more profitable to use clamps.

Finishing options

Finishing the ceiling in a wooden house with your own hands can be done from different materials. When choosing a material, it is important to consider the purpose of the room, the resistance of the finish to moisture, its durability, practicality and ease of maintenance. If suspended wooden ceilings are made of rough material If they are sufficiently even and smooth, you can do without a topcoat. It is enough to sand the surface, paint, tint or varnish the ceiling.

If desired, the ceiling is whitewashed and plastered. Plasterboard ceilings wallpaper, veneer tiles, wooden or foam panels. The stretch fabric allows you to quickly get a beautiful and smooth ceiling, which, if necessary, can be washed and used in a room with high humidity.

Ceiling decoration in a wooden house can be done different ways. A large number of options that are not available for an apartment will look very appropriate and harmonious in a private house. And this is due to the fact that the ceilings here are often higher than in apartments, and also due to the configuration of the roofs, they can have original shapes, which allows you to develop your own unusual design.

Independent work Ceiling cladding in a wooden house requires certain knowledge and skills. The specifics of the work will depend on the type of ceiling. Thus, a false beam ceiling consists of boards hemmed between the beams, between which insulation is laid, and covered with boards or plywood on top. The continuous sloping ceiling is made of logs. This design requires preliminary production of the sheathing.

Wood finishing

The best option for a wooden house, since this material environmentally friendly, which allows you to maintain a favorable microclimate in the room. Wood cladding between the beams can be made of several types - from budget lining to noble expensive solid wood. Alternatively, you can use a combination of materials, then the ceiling will be original and unique.

Ceilings in a wooden house are also trimmed with plywood. But no less popular is finishing from lumber - beech, oak, cherry, beech, ash, maple, birch, alder. From coniferous species these are spruce, cedar, pine, larch, cedar, fir. They differ in texture, shade, pattern. When choosing lumber, it is important to consider the humidity level; no more than 16% is allowed.

Lining

Lining is a board processed in a special way with a tongue and groove to simplify installation. Eurolining, unlike conventional lining, has more high quality and lock design. The peculiarity of the lining is durability, strength, good sound insulation. Due to its naturalness, the ceiling surface always “breathes”, and attractive price such material makes it accessible to everyone.

Design options may be as follows:

• clapboard cladding in one direction is best used for small rooms; in a large room it will look boring and monotonous;
• if the lining is laid between the beams, its shade and direction of cladding can be changed, thus dividing the space into zones;

• The continuous surface of the lining ceiling can be decorated with carvings or paintings. This solution looks very elegant and resembles colorful old houses.

Plywood

Although plywood is not often used to decorate the ceiling, it can be used to create interesting design, having decorated the house effectively without extra costs. Plywood is distinguished by the number of glued layers and by such indicators as:

• grade – construction plywood of one of 5 grades is used for cladding;
• moisture resistance - this parameter is especially important during the period when the house is not heated. Coating plywood with laminate increases moisture resistance;
• type of wood - for the top layer of plywood, maple, birch, and alder are most often used, and the middle layers are most often made from coniferous trees;
• processing method – for country house Untreated plywood is quite suitable; for a cottage it is better to use plywood sanded on one side. Double-sided sanding is not necessary;
• appearance – the decorative component of plywood can be made of asbestos paper, plastic, decorated with a pattern or imitation of wood.

To cover the ceiling with plywood, you must immediately construct a sheathing of wooden beams or aluminum profile. You can fasten the plywood to the beams using self-tapping screws or nails, and then seal the joints with decorative strips or putty.

Plywood – practical and inexpensive material, which is perfect for cladding the ceiling in a private house. Using plywood you can create individual design any room or attic.

Veneered panels

Veneered panels are the same wood planks, only covered with veneer to create a decorative effect. After all, veneer copes quite successfully with imitation of any type of wood, and here it’s all a matter of your taste. The price of the panels is slightly higher than the cost of the lining, but the cladding options are much more varied.

A significant advantage of the material is ease of installation. Every owner can install veneer panels, even without the appropriate skills and experience. Simple installation is carried out by interlocking the panels. Thus, to make a ceiling, you will need a minimum of tools and time.

Wood massif

Perhaps the most prestigious type of finishing using wood is natural wood in the form practical panels. Main properties of the material:

• strength and durability;
• high quality - depends directly on the type of wood itself;
• luxurious appearance;
• lightweight and quick installation, which you can do yourself, thanks to special built-in locks.

Such panels are made from hardwood trees that meet certain characteristics.

Plaster

Finishing the ceiling of a wooden house with plaster was previously very popular. Although today it is often found in modern cottages, it is still slowly becoming a thing of the past, because the range of materials has become much wider.

The plaster is applied to a mesh of shingles, previously stuffed between the beams. The durability and strength of the coating is ensured by reliable adhesion of the mortar to the shingles and relief mesh.
