Plaster wooden walls - waiting for half a year and ...

Stop!Why wait?May, just after the start of construction of house, bar're not cheap, why wait for a half year - to the mice was expanse?But the plaster bar-shaped house just unacceptable.Because it is necessary to give time to stand up home, go through a stage of shrinkage to the boards (or logs) compacted, compacted.If it's time to start plastering, finishing all already two years later and cracked osypletsya.However, people in the know say that the wooden buildings up to 8 years of shrinkage allowed, but particularly active phase of this process accounts for the first year and a half.

And after shrinkage required for wooden walls period you can start working.However, the question appears immediately what kind of plaster for wooden walls.The tree, of course, lumpy, but if it is applied plaster is excellent, probably the plaster fall off after drying.But here, in fact, nothing to think about, because the plaster will suit any, from the cheapest to the Venetian.It is only to determine whether the plaster walls of a wooden house independent coating, or planned to be painted or wallpapered.

plaster on wood, preparation for work

So, the house stood without tenants and probably already bored on human attention, it's time to start decorating the walls, and then celebrate the housewarming.But before you start to smear the plaster on wood, you need to do some preparatory work.To begin with you will need a lot of shingles - narrow wooden torches - for printing on the walls.Typically, laths are pine, the torch may be either chopped, a width of 15 to 20 mm and sawn, somewhat wider about 30 mm.Lath can be replaced with dry reed stems or willow twigs, chopped in two.However, reeds and twigs difficult nailing to the wall, so it is better to use a torch.

After preparing bundles of shingles, start sorting it as kindling will need to nail two level, perpendicular to each other and at an angle of 45 degrees to the floor.Directly to the wall will be nailing the narrow strips of any degree of curvature, it will be lower, prostilny series, but will be laid on top and attach the output lath, wider and smooth.Note that the bottom row is only slightly fastened with nails, he will be held by the output lath, nailed as it should.When the whole top row of shingles nailed from bottom planks nails are removed.Main two rules when packing lath on the wall:

  • Do not connect the ends of the strips closely following each other on the same line as wood swells and could play out, destroying the plaster.
  • Reiki before packing on the wall should be better as a wet, less will be the likelihood that they will crack.

now remains only to find out at what distance from each other splinter nail.There are not too tight sense, we are not laid battens.The optimal distance between the rails prostilnogo series - 45 mm, but if the insulation is used on the inner wall surface, the spacing between the shingles is reduced to 40 mm.With this clear - plaster wooden walls is complicated in itself, but with insulation plaster at all incompatible.For ceiling distance is given even less - 25 mm or 20 mm with insulation.Output lath nailed with a gap between Luchin 40 mm, and the ceiling - 30 mm.Why the ceiling clearances are reduced, probably, right?Of course, to plaster, to be hammered by the output lath, had more points at the connection area and therefore does not fallen off under its own weight.

Plaster wooden house begins playfully

When the last lath nailed, you can admire the resulting crate, and even take a picture, because the more you do not see it, it will be hidden under a thick layer of plaster.The more that just came time to plaster the walls of a wooden house.The first layer is rough, and need to be adjusted in advance that before the final decorative finish is still quite far away.Apply plaster (fairly liquid, creamy) on the padded wall shingles obryzg, ie, strong confident flick of the wrist with a sharp stop it near the wall, after which the plaster is sent to the coast.When faced with plaster partly crate remains in Lucino, but the bulk penetrates between the strips to the wall shingles or insulation, and completely fills the space under the outlet kindling.So, gradually, we cover all the plaster lath.

When the first coat begins to freeze, that is, already thoroughly grab, begin to apply the second layer of primer.Here, we already have to work not with sour cream, and with the test, it is this consistency must be in plaster.At this time we do not plaster toss careless movements, and smeared with a trowel or a trowel.This layer will be a major, and it is necessary to make extremely smooth and relatively smooth.The primer layer may be different from the union, it may already be decorative plaster, while through the crate, and you can throw a simple, fairly inexpensive.The thickness of the primer layer should not exceed 12 mm, ideally better to restrict the 7th millimeters.

The third and final layer, it is called "finish coat" should be made of the same plaster as the primer.If used, such as "Venetian", it can be plastered under a tree, then going inside, no one will notice that the walls are plastered, especially if nothing gets off the outside of the tree.But even more interesting if the Venetian plaster bar-shaped house is to imitate stone.That's when the effect is truly stunning - stone walls in a wooden house, it's something.But too early to talk about that and how it will look, it is necessary to finish the trim.The last layer is applied very thin, and the consistency of the plaster should again be like sour cream.Carefully leveling, causes the plaster according to the rules, the layer thickness of two to five millimeters.Swabs should be strong enough to last layer was once dense.It is clear that the decorative plaster under a tree or a stone is put on the appropriate technique.

And when the last stroke is made, you can breathe easy, make a few photographic images and wait until everything is dry.Then there are other finishing work, in particular, if the decorative plaster, then it may need waxing, but the main thing is done, be proud of the result.
