How to mount eurolining on walls. Installation of lining: instructions for installing wooden panels and caring for them (80 photos). Preparation for the installation of lining

Lining today is one of the most popular materials for home decoration, and it will be useful to learn how to mount eurolining on your own without outside help. It should be noted that this process is quite time-consuming, but, despite this, everything can be organized by hand.

Preparatory work

In order to avoid problems during the installation process, you must know a few rules, the implementation of which is mandatory:

• it is necessary to properly store the lining. It should be in a package, in a room without strong temperature changes, so that Sun rays did not directly fall on the material, and most importantly, the room where the lining will be stored should be dry;
• two days before the start of work, you must get the material out of the package;
• before proceeding to repair work, it is necessary to remove all dust and dirt from the material. This can be done with a dry cloth;
• do not forget to treat the lining with an antiseptic and leave for a while - so that it dries;
• do-it-yourself installation of eurolining can be done at temperatures not lower than + 5 ° C, while the humidity should not exceed 55%;
• in the event that you cover the lining with any decorative coatings, the best option will commit this work before you start installation, then the material will be painted evenly.

Advice! Do not use varnish for painting eurolining, which is intended for use in baths. Choose formulations for outdoor or internal works- depending on the use of panels.

We calculate the material

In order to correctly calculate the required amount of material for wall and ceiling sheathing, you will need to take into account the dimensions of the surface that you will be sheathing and the width of the board. It should also be taken into account that the spike of the longitudinal type in the process of attaching the board to the wall or ceiling will go into the groove of the previous board, which means that its width will decrease by 10-12 millimeters.

Example:

1. Sheathed surface 2.5x4 m.
2. The width of the board is 96 millimeters.
3. We take into account the insertion of the spike into the groove, we get: 96-10 = 86mm.
4. Further calculation is carried out according to the formula: 4000/47 \u003d 47 boards of 2.5 meters each.
5. We fix the lining on the wall.

In order to create stylish interior in the room, you must strictly follow the rules for attaching eurolining. If you do not deviate from the instructions, in the end you will receive Beautiful design, and lining will serve you for a long time.

You must understand that you can attach the material directly to the wall only in the case of perfectly flat surfaces (unfortunately, walls and ceilings are very rarely perfectly flat), moreover, they must be made of wood.

On walls made of brick and reinforced concrete, it is strictly forbidden to mount eurolining, therefore, in order for your walls or ceiling to be created beautiful design from eurolining, you need to install a crate of wooden beams.

We install the crate

The crate is wooden slats, most often their thickness is about 30 mm. They are attached to the ceiling, floor or wall, thereby forming the so-called frame for the further installation of the lining. The installation of the crate should be perpendicular to the fastening of the lining. To make it clearer, let us explain: if the lining is mounted vertically, then the battens of the crate should be located horizontally, and vice versa.

Reiki are fastened from each other at a distance of 60-80 mm, this is if you make a frame on the wall. If you install the crate on the ceiling or floor, then this distance will be 40 mm.

Tip: Do not forget, during the installation of the crate, you must use a level or plumb line to make the whole structure even.

Some do not understand why such a design as a crate is needed. After all, installing it takes a lot of time. In fact, it is necessary for several reasons.

If you want your interior to be perfect, even and proportional, then installing a crate is a mandatory step in creating a composition from. The second reason is the presence of ventilation of the boards, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the air in the room.

Do not forget! Ideal slats for creating a frame - 35x55 mm. They should not have any defects and they should be even.

How to fix the lining

There are several ways to fasten the lining, which we will now present to you. The design should be smooth and beautiful.

Fasten with screws:

• To begin with, you must drill a small hole in the lining to secure the self-tapping screw, and this must be done from the side of the spike;
• when we make the installation of lining. Self-tapping screws are screwed into the holes we made. Do not forget to cover their hats with a dowel;
• If the dowels protrude, after all the work they are cut off. Don't forget to sand the surface afterwards.

Staple fastening:

• In this way, the material is usually attached to the ceiling from the floor.
• Fastening is carried out using a stapler, which drives the staples at an angle of 45 ° into the spike, thereby making it possible to install subsequent boards without interference.

Fasten with nails:

• This method is not much different from the previous one.
• The difference between them is that in this method, instead of brackets, they use .
• In order to keep the nail heads from sticking out and not being visible, you will need a tool like a puncher, because the protruding hats will not give you the opportunity to continue with the installation of the next board.

Fasten with dowels:

• The considered method involves mounting from below, and nothing else.
• We fix the first board from below with self-tapping screws, and from below. Do not forget to twist the hats with a dowel.
• After the work done, we proceed to the installation of the next panel. In the upper part of the previous board, directly into the spike, we screw the self-tapping screw, and so that its head is flush with the spike itself (with its surface).
• On top of the attached board, the next one is superimposed, which, in turn, closes the fastening of the previous one. That is why the method is called secret fastening. It should be noted that the use of both staples and self-tapping screws is appropriate here.
• After the installation process is over, you can start cutting the protruding dowels. If you do the whole process correctly, you will end up with a flat and smooth surface.

Any of these methods will give you positive result, but only if you do everything correctly and consistently.

So, the instructions for fastening eurolining:

• Let's start by taking one panel - we will set it strictly vertically. In order for everything to turn out clearly, it is necessary to use a level, and during the entire process, this is the only way you will ensure that the entire structure you are building will be even.
• Do not forget that you will need to fasten the first board precisely from the corner (from which side it does not matter, you want it on the right, but you want it on the left).
• The boards that you will expose next should be attached to the side of the previous board with a spike. We fix the board in any way you choose. If you have any questions, please see our

It's hard to find a more common finishing material than lining, which people fell in love with largely because of its versatility and low price. Meanwhile, it has another noticeable plus, which is impossible to pass by - this is the ease of fastening. Almost every person, armed necessary tools and materials, can independently attach it to the wall. However, in order to be sure of the result, especially if you are doing it for the first time, it would be useful to learn about the main intricacies of this simple operation. Our today's step-by-step instruction is devoted to how to properly fix the lining to the wall.

Characteristics of the material. All the pros and cons

Materials of natural origin have always been held in high esteem by people. Even when the questions environmental safety still few people cared. Mostly modern lining It is made from tree species that grow almost everywhere:

• aspen;
• cedar;
• Linden;
• coniferous species.

Also recently, plastic lining has gained particular popularity. It imitates wood, but is cheaper. Someone looks at such a "surrogate" with a fair amount of disdain, but as sales of finishing materials show, they are a small minority.




Let's take a look at its main trump cards:

1. simple processing;
2. long-term preservation of operational properties;
3. disguise of engineering communications;
4. high soundproofing performance;
5. visual appeal.

What can be said about the shortcomings? Every material has them, and lining in this sense cannot be an exception.

1. susceptibility to moisture and temperature changes;
2. the possibility of drying and cracking under the influence of specific temperature conditions;
3. the potential for the appearance of fungus (how to get rid of fungus on the walls);
4. combustibility:
5. Availability harmful substances(for plastic lining)

Do not rush to get upset: almost all of these pluses are easy to fix if you take care of them in time preventive treatment antiseptics and water repellents. Only after that you can confidently attach the lining to any wall surface, knowing that nothing bad will happen to it over time.


There is another option for using a metal lining:

• steel;
• aluminum.

Such material will definitely not rot or deform, and will not emit substances hazardous to life. However, it tends to heat up, so you should avoid placing it in places exposed to the sun, as well as near sources of light and water pipes(read about how to hide pipes without mounting them into the wall).

A few tips for right choice material will definitely not be superfluous. Moreover, there are a lot of options on the market, and it will not be easy for a beginner to figure out which material is better to attach to the wall.

1. try to choose boards with a maximum width - it is easier to carry out subsequent installation of the material;
2. in the case of vertical fixation of the lining, ensure that its length matches the height of the room;
3. the optimal choice of wood species for a bath is deciduous for a steam room and coniferous for a shower or dressing room;
4. the main criterion for the purchase is the dryness of the material, if you notice even slight moisture, refrain from buying, as installation will be impossible.

Preparatory moment. Markup and counting

It is present in every type of installation work.

• make all the necessary measurements in the room;
• calculate the required amount of finishing material;
• decide how many consumables you need to buy for the frame structure;
• equip your working area, getting rid of all that is superfluous, if there is some kind of overall furniture nearby, then it is better to cover it with a film to avoid contamination.

Preparation of tools and materials

There is even a novice here who has never taken on any home installation, it's hard to be surprised. All the same classic set of tools:

• perforator;
• screwdriver;
• level;
• cord plumb;
• meter;
• pencil.

And here is necessary materials:

• bars for crates;
• dowels;
• self-tapping screws;
• nails;
• kleimers.

And, in fact, the lining itself. Nothing would be possible without her!

Frame installation

The main thing to face at this stage is the choice of location. battens.

• horizontally;
• vertically.

To do this, proceed from how you will attach the material to the wall:

• if the lining is located vertically, then the crate must be fixed in a horizontal position;
• if the lining is placed horizontally, then, accordingly, the frame must be fixed vertically.

Everything else - according to the scheme:

1. prepare wooden blocks with a thickness of 1 centimeter and drill holes in them with a minimum step of 50 centimeters, they should be about 1.5 mm smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screws;
2. attach the bars to the wall and mark points through the holes for subsequent drilling;
3. drill holes in the wall according to the marks made and insert the prepared dowels;
4. fix the bars to the dowels, controlling the accuracy of fixing with a level, you can also make a plywood gasket under the rail for convenient operation or buy leveling wedges in the store and install the battens in this way with minimal effort.

Installation of lining

We have already noted above that lining boards can be mounted on the wall both horizontally and vertically. Each option has its own nuances, due to the specifics of use in a particular room.

Vertical arrangement

• visually increases the height of the room;
• pushes its upper and lower boundaries;
• recommended for use in bath rooms, as it promotes optimal air circulation.

Fixation method: finishing nails, kleimers, decorative screws.



Installation nuances:

1. fixing should start from the corner;
2. after the board is leveled, it is nailed, and the hat is bitten off with a side cutter, if kleimers are used, then they are nailed to the frame, and the second part into the groove of the board;
3. when fixing the lining on the wall, check every 5-10 boards whether evenness is observed, a corded plumb line is ideal for this;
4. the last lining is adjusted to the desired size with a hacksaw.

Horizontal arrangement

• increases the width of the room;
• suitable for high rooms;
• emphasizes the visual volume of the room.

Fixation method: finishing nails, kleimers, self-tapping screws.




Installation nuances:

1. fixation should begin from the ceiling and gradually go down;
2. every ten boards check the evenness of the fit;
3. the last board is cut to the desired size with a hacksaw;
4. all fragments are knocked close to each other with a hammer;
5. the joint between the wall and the floor can be closed with a beautiful plinth.

Informative video dedicated to the features of lining installation:

Of course, after carefully studying the proposed step by step instructions, you are unlikely to become a pro, but for your first "acquaintance" with the material, definitely prepare. Here's a couple more for you good advice, which will help to avoid common mistakes among beginners when attaching popular material to the wall:

1. the lining bought in the store should be unpacked and laid face down on any flat surface - it is advisable to let it stand for a couple of days and only then proceed with the installation;
2. the minimum allowable room temperature for direct installation is 5 degrees Celsius, if lower, any operations with the material should be postponed until "better times";
3. after the lining is already fixed on the crate, it is recommended to varnish it - this way you can achieve different type textures on the surface: glossy, matte, with the effect of wet asphalt, stone, etc.;
4. do not attach hardwood lining to the wall if we are talking about about outdoor work - only conifers are used for this purpose;
5. if you plan to use the lining in the bathroom, toilet, balcony or kitchen, then it is best to use Alternative option made of plastic or aluminum - will last much longer;
6. but for the bedroom, hall, hallway classic wooden lining- perfect option;
7. do not use plastic elements in the steam room - high temperature provokes the release of chemicals that can adversely affect the health of you, your guests and loved ones.

Conclusion

Of course, knowing how to properly fix the lining to the wall can come in handy more than once in your life. Especially if you get own house- and you will systematically equip all these countless square meters under yourself. There is absolutely nothing complicated about this - mounting a lining on a wall is one of the simplest finishing operations, and visible difficulties are nothing more than fleeting moments that easily go away with the accumulation of your experience.

Eurolining has gained great popularity due to its technical characteristics. Compared with conventional lining, eurolining has a higher cost, but, despite this drawback, this finishing building material is in great demand among owners. However, many are interested in the question of how the eurolining is fastened. Before familiarizing yourself with self-assembly finishing material, you first need to study the features of raw materials.

Peculiarities

Eurolining is a lining made of wood. The production technology is responsible European standards quality.

Home hallmark eurolining from identical finishing building materials is the presence of grooves on the sides of the building material. These channels have a dual purpose. During the period of operation, the material is provided best ventilation. This is especially important for rooms where the conditional air humidity prevails, which varies significantly (baths, saunas, hallways). And also the presence of grooves facilitates the installation of a hidden electrical wiring and other communications.

Thanks to the installation of eurolining indoors, you can create coziness and comfort.

The advantages of such a finishing building material include:

• highly stable product parameters;
• antiseptic special coating of products;
• polished surface of the material;
• simplified installation of products on various surfaces;
• it is possible to color products in any shade;
• easy cutting of materials to any required size.

The disadvantages of building materials include some qualities of wood:

• the tree lends itself well to burning;
• without special processing there is a risk of mold and fungus;
• expensive building material.

Eurolining can be treated with specialized varnishes, paints, oils, decorative plaster mixture or cover with wallpaper. But the latter option is not very often used, because the natural color of the products creates a favorable atmosphere in any room.

Thanks to the advantages of finishing building materials, it becomes possible to accurately determine the amount the right material for installation. But also eurolining can be used for both external and internal work.

Mounting methods

Euro lining can be fixed in various ways.

Let us consider in more detail the popular mounting methods.

• Self-tapping screws. In this case, the fastening of the material is carried out from the side where the spike is located. The size of the fixing elements should vary from 1 to 1.5 cm. After the screws are screwed in, they must be covered with a dowel. At the end of the finish, all protruding elements are cut off, and the surface is carefully polished. To work with self-tapping screws, you need a drill. The disadvantage of using self-tapping screws is the risk of splitting products under the drill.
• Concealed fastening with brackets. The original lining product is installed to the right corner, cutting along required size. Then it is fixed with specialized staples (kleimer). They securely fasten the finishing building material to the crate. The disadvantages of using staples are high price products and the fact that a certain skill and experience is required to work with these tools.
• Nails. This method of fastening is identical to the method of fixing the lining by means of clamps. But in this situation, thin galvanized nails are used. Nail heads should be driven as deep as possible into the finishing product, otherwise such protruding parts will prevent the fastening of subsequent lining elements.

Do-it-yourself installation

Even an inexperienced master can install eurolining, the main thing is that all the rules and patterns for laying finishing building materials are observed. Before proceeding with the laying process, it is necessary to stock up on all the necessary tools that will be needed in the work, as well as explore the options for laying finishing building materials.

Sheathing walls or ceilings can be done in various ways.

• Horizontally. This method of sheathing involves the installation of eurolining from the top of the wall. The final euro lining is cut to the required size. If a hole appears between the floor and the wall, it is covered with a decorative plinth.
• Perpendicular. This variation of the installation does not allow a large amount of moisture to accumulate inside the structure.
• Diagonally. In this case, the fixing of products begins from the corner of the wall, the subsequent strips are cut along the right size by means of an electric jigsaw.
• Mixed masonry type. For such masonry, a certain skill and experience will be required; it will be quite difficult for a beginner to perform a combined type of laying. Despite the laboriousness of the work, the final result of the installation will please you with an unusual pattern.

Before mounting the structure, you should stock up on fastening special elements. Basically, 30 staples (kleimers) are used per 1 m2 of eurolining, but craftsmen recommend purchasing parts with a margin. Fasteners must be High Quality. It is forbidden to use mechanisms containing damage and irregularities. The thickness should be no more than 1 mm. When buying these mechanisms, you need to make sure that the kleimers are covered with a special anti-corrosion coating.

Lining with eurolining can be done both on walls and on pre-prepared wooden or metal crates. The metal frame is much more expensive wooden slats, but this design is a reliable basis for the facing material.

wooden structures under influence high temperatures and high humidity in the future can be deformed, which will lead to further dismantling of the entire structure.

Basically, walls made of brick or concrete are sheathed without crates. In this case, between the finishing building material and the base of the surface, thermal insulation material. And also, in order to simplify the installation of the facing material, an OSB plate can be fixed to the walls. On this basis, the products will serve long time. OSB plate in this case will serve as a thermal insulating material.

First of all, before installing the facing product, it must be treated with an antiseptic. To prevent deformation of products from high humidity, experts recommend keeping the finishing product in the room where the installation will be carried out, this is necessary in order for the lining to acclimatize. When laying adjacent products, small gaps must be made, where the spike should be located at the top. Such an installation will not allow a large amount of condensate to accumulate. But it also needs to work vapor barrier material, which is mounted on top of the insulation.

Eurolining fasteners can be carried out on uneven surface through the installation of the crate.

Despite the complexity of installation, this installation has its advantages. In this case, the boards are able to breathe.

Wall cladding with eurolining is performed not only in the house, it is often used to decorate balconies and loggias.

• If you decide to install wooden crate, That this building material pre-impregnated protective coating to extend the life of the structure. It is possible to assemble the system only after the complete drying of the impregnation. The rails are mounted at a distance of 80 cm from each other from top to bottom. Before sheathing the walls, it is necessary to check the installation of the crate using a level. The installation of the crate depends on the type of lining fixation chosen. At horizontal mounting slats are nailed into vertical position or vice versa.
• If necessary, insulate the room on top of the crate laid thermal insulation material (mineral wool, expanded polystyrene). For rooms where high humidity, you should not only insulate the walls, but also make waterproofing. For these purposes, you can use polyethylene film, which must be nailed to the crate using a construction stapler. On concrete surface insulating building material is glued with an adhesive. It is important that the film is overlapped (10 cm), and the joints are glued with adhesive tape, thus creating best waterproofing in room.

• The first board is installed with extreme evenness in the right corner. The evenness of the location is checked using the building level. This condition is important to fulfill, because the first product is the leading one, the further arrangement of all elements will depend on its position. Next, the strap is fixed in any way.
• Next, the next product is inserted with a groove into the previous board, after which it is nailed along the board. Now you need to check the evenness of the vertical arrangement through the level. If the slightest irregularity occurs, the board must be reinstalled. The laying angle should be 90 degrees.
• The final board is cut according to the required parameter. To decorate the corner, a special material (wooden corner) is used, through which all inaccuracies and flaws are hidden. Regardless of the chosen method of fastening the finishing material, the last lining is fixed with nails that have small cap parameters.
• Ceiling lining produced by a similar method. Only upon completion of the work, the junction of the walls and the ceiling surface is closed with a special decorating baguette to give aesthetic appearance the whole structure.

Before proceeding with lining the walls with eurolining, you should familiarize yourself with some rules that will further help in the installation of this type of product.

The final result depends entirely on the correct actions.

• When calculating the required amount of building material, you need to use correct parameters products. If the actual width of the eurolining is taken into account, then in the end result the difference will be about 5%. Such an error depends on the existing grooves, which are partially installed in the previous finishing building material, as a result of which the working surface is reduced.
• For the room small size eurolining on the ceiling is mounted in such a way that it is located along the window structure, and in this case, you need to use the combined installation method.
• At horizontal installation eurolining should pay attention to the placement of spikes, they should be located in the upper part. And also it is necessary to constantly check by means of the building level the correctness of the laying of products. The end result should be perfect. even corners and impeccable facade surface.
• Finishing building material after laying can be painted in any shade. But before this procedure, the products should be treated with a primer.
• When installing eurolining in areas where sockets and switches are located, they must first be de-energized.
• When installing the crate, do not make large openings between the rails, in this case facing material may bend.
• Installation of eurolining must be carried out at a temperature of at least 5 degrees and at an air humidity of not more than 60%.

Recently, eurolining has established itself as an excellent finishing material. Its technical characteristics fully satisfy the requirements of any room. In fact, this is a lining made of wood, made according to European standards. Changes in technology have resulted in the material becoming more resistant to moisture than its predecessor, with increased service life and ease of installation.

clapboard- an environmentally friendly option that allows you to hide the unevenness of the walls, ennoble the surface and visually increase the space, which is especially important for balconies and loggias. In order for the finish to serve as long as possible, it must be done correctly, without neglecting the tips for fastening and installation.

Preparation of lining and frame

The material purchased for cladding needs to be processed. To do this, the boards are covered with protective agents that prevent rotting, the development of microorganisms and mold. Often, a processing tool is offered with a set of material depending on its class. After finishing the processing, the boards are dried and brought into the room where the finishing will be carried out. The last step is to adapt the material, in order to avoid shrinkage. Then install crate.

The latter serves as a frame for fastening eurolining. The crate is performed from wood slats, guiding them in accordance with the chosen option for laying the lining. Vertical installation requires horizontal slats and vice versa.

Using screws or self-tapping screws, the boards are tightly attached to the wall in half a meter increments. When installing each board, you should measure the structure with a level. To increase the service life of the cladding, a gap is left between the wrong side of the material and the wall, which serves either for ventilation or for a layer of insulation. Warming is most often carried out with mineral wool. The gap is regulated by the thickness of the board used for the crate. Installed design should be treated the same. protective agent, as lining - this stage can be avoided by using instead of wooden slats metal profiles . They are also fastened with self-tapping screws in a similar way.

For reference!

For ceiling finishes using lining use the same wireframe method. The requirements for the ceiling are the strength of the roof so that there are no erosions and cracks on the surface. The presence of such will lead to rotting even a protected board. The laying technology is similar to laying on the wall, with the only difference that the joint of the wall and ceiling must be closed with a baguette upon completion of work, giving them a finished look.

Mounting types

Before proceeding with the finishing work, you should choose the way in which the lining will be attached to the crate. There are several options, each of which involves the use of different situations. The material looks like a plank, with a groove on one side, and a spike on the other, which is inserted into the groove of the next plank. Fastening methods are divided into secret and external. When choosing any of the proposed methods, the main task- work carefully and not damage the board, as there is a high probability of opening a gap or splitting the part.

Fastening with self-tapping screws. Self-tapping screws are often used for horizontal laying of wood. Sheathing begins from the bottom or top of the wall, guided by the fact that the starting one should be the most Smooth surface. To fix it, you need to have a drill - they make holes in the boards on the side of the spike. The diameter is determined by the diameter of the screw. The hole depth is about 9 mm. This value was chosen based on the further fast tightening of the self-tapping screw using a screwdriver.

Fastening is carried out according to the following scheme. The board is applied to the place where it is necessary to fix it, the correct position is checked by the level. Then holes are drilled through the spike into the crate and screwed along the two edges. The rest - the central self-tapping screws - are screwed in after the extreme ones only by half, ensuring an even fit of the board. After all the screws are screwed to the stop. This mounting method ensures even laying, simplifying assembly.

For reference!

The disadvantages of self-tapping screws is the likelihood of splitting the board under the drill. Using this method on the balcony and loggia is not advisable, since horizontal position masonry visually lowers the ceiling, which is not beneficial for a limited space.

Bracket fastening. This option is more time consuming, requiring skills in handling a construction stapler and staples. Installation of lining in the case of using brackets starts exclusively from above. The process is as follows. The board is applied to the crate, measuring the position with a level. Having adjusted the lining according to the level, staples are driven into the spike at an angle of 45 degrees from the wall. If you use the stapler correctly, the staples go into the wood as much as possible, without causing difficulties in attaching the next board.

The disadvantages of the method include the presence of a construction stapler and the skill of work - such a tool is not available in every home. A definite plus - the mount is hidden, the output is clean wood flooring without a single foreign object.

Fastening with nails. To implement the method, galvanized nails are used. The installation algorithm does not differ from the previous one. The only caveat is that the use of a nail fastening requires the presence of a finisher that will completely drown the nail head. Working without a doboynik it is difficult to drive next board groove on a nailed spike.

The advantage of this method lies in the most hidden fastening, which allows you to create a beautiful wooden surface. In some cases, the nails are not driven into the spike, but over the board in a hot order. This option is only suitable for utility rooms, is external and less aesthetic.

Dowel fastening. Using a dowel, the lining starts exclusively from the floor. This wooden details cylindrical shape, often used to hide various technical details of decoration. In the present case, the screws are closed with a dowel, fixing the first, lower plank from the floor. The starting lining should be installed with the spike up. The spike is fastened with brackets or self-tapping screws so that the visible fastening is closed by the groove of the next board. The last, upper board is also fixed and closed with a dowel. At the end of the work, the dowel can be cut or sanded.

For reference!

The disadvantage of finishing is the need to process the dowel after facing, which is not required by other methods. The advantage is to obtain a surface without metal inclusions, as well as ease of use - experts consider the bottom finish to be the most practical.

Fastening with clamps. This method is only suitable for eurolining with a small thickness, since the kleimer does not withstand a large load. In fact, this is an improved, galvanized steel bracket.

Installation starts from the ceiling. The first board is nailed with screws, closed with a dowel. Kleimers should be on the wrong side of the spike - to fix the board in the desired position, they are screwed to the wall. Then the new plank is driven with a groove to the first one and the process is repeated again, nailing or screwing the kleimers.

The advantage of such fastening can be traced only for material with low weight and thickness. In this case, you can save on buying a large number of nails and screws. For durable high-end lining, this option is not used.

The choice of fastening directly depends on what type of material is chosen for the work and what surface is lined. If the crate is made of wood, it is preferable to use nails. The metal crate holds the boards better with self-tapping screws. The most common are secret methods - dowel, nails and staples. However, the latter requires a specific tool, therefore it is used in self finishing less often.

On the video, you can take a closer look at how and with what you need to fix the eurolining.

Eurolining is a fairly popular finishing material in Russia. By their own technical specifications it is perfect for any living space. This material is a lining made of wood, which is produced according to European standards. Eurolining is more resistant to moisture and at the same time easy to install. We also note that this material is environmentally friendly and allows you to hide irregularities on the walls without the use of putty and other materials. In addition, lining makes the room visually larger. But how to properly fix eurolining to the wall and to the ceiling? Let's take a look at our today's article.

Material preparation

Before attaching eurolining, you need to prepare the material. Although it is more resistant to moisture, it is still recommended to protect the coating additionally. For this, it is processed by special means which prevent rot and mold growth. After this treatment, the boards must be dried and brought into the room where the finishing will be performed. What is it for? The lining is brought in to adapt the material. This will prevent shrinkage. Also, before fixing the eurolining in the bath, for example, you need to decide on the type of lumber. It is divided into several groups:

• Premium. It has an exceptionally flat surface.
• A. It is possible to have up to two knots on each running meter.
• B. A pair of resin pockets and knots is allowed.
• C. This is a low quality material with numerous through holes.

crate

Next is the crate. It will serve as a frame for fastening the lining. This crate is made of wooden slats. They are sent in accordance with the chosen material laying option. When laying horizontally, a vertical arrangement of the rails is required and vice versa.

Using self-tapping screws or screws, you need to firmly fix the boards to the wall. It is necessary to withstand a step of half a meter. When installing each board, you should measure the structure with a building level. Experts recommend leaving a gap for ventilation between the wrong side of the lining and the wall. This will extend the service life. Some maintain this gap for insulation. As the latter, mineral wool is usually used. The gap can be adjusted by the thickness of the board, which is used for the frame. Also, the crate itself must be treated with a protective antifungal agent. But this operation is not performed if steel profiles are used instead of rails. They are installed in the same way, on self-tapping screws.

As for the method of finishing the ceiling, most often experts use wireframe method. Ceilings are subject to special requirements. The roof must be strong, without cracks and gaps. Otherwise, the wood will rot. How to fix eurolining to the ceiling? The laying technology of this material practically does not differ from the walls, except that the joint between the latter and the ceiling is closed with a baguette. So we will give the design an aesthetic and complete look.

Mount types

Before attaching the eurolining to the wall in the bathhouse or in another room, you need to choose the way the material will be mounted to the crate. The lining itself looks like a plank. There is a groove on one side and a spike on the other. The latter is inserted into the groove of the next board. There are several mounting methods:

But whatever method is used, it is worth working carefully so as not to damage the board. It is brittle and may break during installation. It is impossible to allow a split of the lining.

Mounting with self-tapping screws

Typically, this technique is used for horizontal laying. Sheathing starts at the top or bottom of the wall. But it is important that the starting surface is as flat as possible. For fasteners, a drill is used, with which a hole is made in the board on the side of the spike. The drill should have the same diameter as the screw. As for the depth, it is enough to make a hole of 9 millimeters.

Installation is carried out according to the following scheme:

• The board is applied to the place where it needs to be fixed.
• The correct position of the element is checked by the building level.
• Using a drill, holes are drilled through the spike into the crate.
• Self-tapping screws are screwed along two edges.
• The remaining (central) fasteners are only half screwed in. So we will ensure an even fit of the lining. Further, all the screws are screwed in until they stop.

This is a simplified assembly method in which you can get a quality result.

Nuances

But there are also some disadvantages of the method. First of all, you need to know how to work with self-tapping screws. With careless handling, they can easily split the eurolining. Also, a similar mounting method is not used in the loggia, since the horizontal arrangement of the boards visually reduces the height of an already small room.

Staples

This method is more complex and requires experience with a tool such as a construction stapler. How to properly fix eurolining in this case? Here you need to start working from the top. So the lining is applied to the crate and its position is measured with a building level. Adjust the board over it. Staples are driven into the spike at an angle of 45 degrees. If you use the stapler correctly, there will be no difficulties in fixing the boards. The bracket will go into the tree as much as possible.

Among the disadvantages of this method, it should be noted the need for a special tool (in this case, this is a stapler, which is not available to everyone and is quite expensive). But in the end we get secret fastening. Externally, the coating will appear clean, without foreign objects.

Nails

How to fix eurolining to the wall with this method? To do this, use galvanized nails. The installation method is practically the same as described above. However, the use of nails requires a finisher. It allows you to completely drown the hat. Without this tool, it will be difficult to drive the next board with a groove onto the nailed spike.

What are the advantages of this method? Here you get the most hidden fastening. As a result, we get a beautiful woody surface. Sometimes the nails are installed not in the spike, but on the board itself. But this method is not recommended for living rooms. This can only be done in the back rooms and other utility rooms.

We apply dowel

How to fix eurolining with a dowel? You need to start the installation only from the floor. Shkant is wooden product cylindrical shape. It is used to hide the technical details of the finish. Today, with a dowel, you can close the screws that fix the bottom plank from the floor. In this case, the starting eurolining is mounted with a spike up. It is fastened with screws or brackets so that the visible fasteners are closed by the groove of the next lining. As for the topmost board, it is also fixed and closed with a dowel. The latter, at the end of the work, is cut off or polished.

Among the disadvantages of this method, it should be noted the need for processing the dowel after facing. This does not need to be done using other methods. Among the advantages - a flat surface without metal inclusions. Also, experts say that this method is the most practical among others.

We use clamps

This method is used for thin eurolining, since the kleimers do not withstand heavy loads. They are an improved steel bracket.

How is the installation in this case? Installation must start from the ceiling. The first lining is fastened with self-tapping screws. Again, it is important not to split the part when twisting with a screwdriver. Next, the board is closed with a dowel. The kleimers are located on reverse side spike. For in the right direction, it is screwed to the wall. Then the new one is driven with a groove to the first board and this process is repeated, screwing the kleimer.

What is the advantage of this method? Experts note that using this method, you can save on the purchase of screws and nails. But you need to understand that this method is relevant only for lining with a small thickness and low weight. For high-strength models, this method is not suitable.

Summing up

So, we figured out how to fix eurolining. As you can see, there are several ways and each is unique in its own way. However, the most popular among all is the method of fastening with brackets.

How to fix eurolining in the absence of a special tool? You can use galvanized nails. This is especially true if a secret method is needed. When using a metal crate, experts advise fixing the boards with self-tapping screws.
