Parpet Features
Let's start with azov. A parquet board is a three-layer plate with a length of 1 to 2 m, a width of 180-200 mm, a thickness of 14-22 mm. Its top layer is performed from valuable rocks, and the following two are of cheaper coniferous rocks. When producing on the surface, the slats apply a protective layer. It may be varnish, oil-wax composition or a mixture of oils that increase the wear resistance of the material and facilitate care. Parquet boards have a locking system of the connection. When assembling, the spike of one board is inserted into the dads other and snatch.
Wooden boards are hygroscopic. With high humidity, they are inclined to increase the geometric dimensions, which will cause stringing planks. With low humidity due to sinking wood dimensions decrease and the gap between the wall and the parquet may appear. Due to the multilayer design, the parquet board, these phenomena are not as noticeable as products from the wood array.
Optimal conditions for this material: indoor air temperature - 18-22 ° C; Relative humidity - 40-60%. These conditions are supported using humidifiers in winter during the heating season, and air conditioners with humidity reduction function - in summer.
Why it is worth using parquet on the wall
Wall decoration by parquet is popular due to simple installation and natural patterns. As the upper decorative layer, traditional wood products are used for our latitude: oak, ash, birch, nut, and exotic from different regions of the world: Sapel, Zebrano, Tiger Tree, Merbau. Because of the small thickness (0.6-6 mm), the cost remains available, unlike the coating of the array.
An even more interesting coating becomes due to wood processing methods: sealed, toning, thermal exposure, brushing and creating microphood with two or four sides. These small sections around the perimeter of the plank give a feeling of volume and at the same time hide the effect of seasonal moisture oscillations.
Decorative techniques
Long and narrow elements are placed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, it is possible to separate the entire wall or separate fragments. If you want to get a decor without end junctions, look for Big Size boards with a length of 2,200 mm and more. With diagonal styling to reduce the amount of waste, preferably a small length strip. However, regardless of the laying scheme, when ordering a material, it is necessary to add 5% to the actual cladding area for possible trimming.What wood to choose for walls
On the wall of the board do not need the same reliable protection against abrasion, as on the floor. Therefore, products with a top layer from any breeds of wood are suitable, including medium and low solidness: cherry, pear, alder, birch, which are not too practical on the floors. The compositions for treating the surface of the tree (varnish, oil, butter-wax) are also considered in terms of design. In some interiors, for example, in the kitchen, preferably a skirt with spectacular and bright glossy varnish, and in a bedroom or living room - with colorless butter, which creates the impression of natural raw wood.
Producers of flooring from wood began to produce special series of boards and decorative panels for walls and ceilings, including a complex surface relief or 3D effect. In their combination with other wooden interior elements (floors, stairs), the harmony of material, forms and colors are most fully manifested.
How to mount parquet on the wall
Parquet plaques for laying parquet on the wall need to be ordered when all wet processes (arrangement of scrolls, bulk sex, plastering and shtclothing of walls and ceilings) are completed, leveling layers are sucked, and heating and ventilation system are well established. To laying the coating, it is proceed only when the moisture content at the base will decrease to 2-3% (more accurate data indicates the manufacturer in the instructions for a particular material). Otherwise, the bar will absorb evaporating moisture, increase in size, bending, and in the worst case, it is possible to clean the upper layer lamellas.
Remember that there are the same rules here as when mounting a parquet board on the floor. Before starting work, sealed packages with material are kept in room conditions for at least 48 hours for acclimatization. Do not hurry, especially if the boards have made with a frost in a warm house. They immediately formed condensate. The tree absorbs it, and if you start laying right away, after some time there will be gaps between the planks. At the joints with the floor and the ceiling, there are minor (1 cm) deformation gaps.
The role of stacking, for example, the Parquet "Christmas tree" creates the most uniform load on the wall.
Installation of ceiling and wall panels on plasterboard trim
To watch the wall more harmoniously, it is advisable to open a few packages, decompose the elements on the floor, picking them in color and texture. After all, the tree is natural material, and it is impossible to meet the planks with the same pattern and color. Mounted parquet boards on any level base: plastered, plasterboard. The main thing is to choose the appropriate method of fixing and adhere to the process technology, carefully examine how to mount the boards. You can entrust it to any master who is familiar with the flooring floorboard on the floor.
Installation of ceiling and wall panels vertically
First of all, to create a mounting scheme. Then follow the preparation of bases (floors and walls), the installation of beacons (the initial rows that the direction will be specified), laying parquet slats, cyclo, and varnishing.
Alternatives to parquet
Laminate
Parquet on the wall in the interior can replace laminate from the "French Christmas Tree" series with an expansion seam of at least 10 mm wide on the mounting perimeter, around the risers, along the thresholds and under the doors.Ceramographic
Ceramic tiles in the "Chevron" design allow laying with barely noticeable seams. Before assessing in residential areas it will be necessary to equip the electric warm floor.
Tree with optical fibers
Pay attention to the panel from the glue massif of the tree with the addition of optical fibers. They are placed between wood layers in strict geometric order. Fiber optic transfers the light stream, the tree acquires the ability to carry out light.
The panels can be used in the arrangement of partitions, doors, furniture and play the role of decorative wall decoration and ceilings. Especially if the LED backlight is replaced with a luminous raster picture. Since the panels are 99% consist of wood, work with them (processing, cutting, applying varnish, wax, veil, etc.) does not differ from working with a conventional tree.
Wallpaper under a tree
In order not to lose the centimeters of the useful area, look for wallpapers, imitating wooden coatings. The design of the walls by this finishing material will occupy incomparably less time and effort, and the visual effect will be similar. Wallpaper decors are very interesting from the point of view of beauty and color features. These are not only classic natural beige-brown shades, but also the original reproduction of the generated and painted wood. Photo wallpaper created the most realistic picture of a wooden finish. They can be manufactured by individual order and accurately match the wall size.
