When the conversation comes about a veranda or terrace, most often we mean an open or closed extension to one of the load-bearing walls Houses. Here you can conveniently and comfortably spend time, relax or just have lunch. Decorating the walls on the veranda will help you truly enjoy your presence there.
The easiest way to get a beautiful front lawn
You, of course, have seen the perfect lawn in the movies, in the alley, and possibly on the neighbor's lawn. Those who have ever tried to grow a green area on their site will no doubt say that this is a huge work. The lawn requires careful planting, care, fertilization, watering. However, only inexperienced gardeners think so, professionals have long known about an innovative tool - liquid lawn AquaGrazz.
It should be immediately clear that the veranda differs from the terrace in that the first is most often a closed extension, and the second is simply an open version of the first.
In general, a terrace is a building that rests on pillars, has a roof, it adjoins the main building (house) so tightly that it is simply difficult to call it an independent element of the house. The terrace is monolithic with the house.
It so happened that three of the four walls of the terrace are open, only one - adjacent to the house or building, is limited, and then - due to the fact that in this part it is a continuation of the house.
Such buildings (or, rather, it will be said, extensions) can create the effect of maximum harmony with nature, because fogs, rains and winds in such an extension are felt very, very well. In addition, if your house is located in close proximity to the forest, all sounds coming from its depths will be perfectly audible.
If we talk about finishing an open veranda (terrace), then it requires a special creative mood. Imagine and give free rein to the most daring ideas: you can decorate it with various green plants or weaves, create a winter palace or a stone one. All in your hands!
If the interior is carefully thought out, then the terrace will acquire a special, unique look. Everything is used, even wood carving, curly ivy, etc.
Terraces are usually attached to one side of the house, but an extension around the entire house is possible. In the case when the terrace is attached in length along the entire perimeter, then it can be decorated as a gallery. If the terrace is a kind of rectangle, then this is already a real pavilion.
External and internal decoration of a veranda in a private house or a terrace (and the difference, as we have already found out earlier, in the type - covered or not covered on the sides of the type of building) is a purely creative process and depends only on what your taste preferences are and what you want to see in your building.
Only a responsible and competent approach to finishing will help create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort for those who spend time on the terrace. Of course, you will have to take into account certain subtleties and follow the rules so that the finishing result is not only beautiful, but also high-quality and reliable.
exterior and interior decoration of the veranda
If it is firmly decided that the extension to your house will be open, and a terrace is conceived, you must first of all take care that the finishing materials used in the work had sufficient indicators of resistance to atmospheric phenomena: moisture, dampness, strong winds, temperature conditions... It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the climate in the region where the construction is planned.
Materials such as plastic panels, special perforated sheet, stone and tile coverings are considered almost universal. If you plan to use wood materials, then in this case additional impregnation with compounds such as antiseptics, antifungal fluids will be required. Such a measure will save wood materials from deformations, various types of pests - from fungi to rodents.
Furniture and interior items for the veranda
Let's say your home is located by the sea or lake. In this case, it would be very unusual to opt for a polycarbonate finish. Transparent visors and elements will perfectly let the sun's rays and warmth through themselves, and also will not interfere with contemplating all the beauty of the environment.
You can also envisage such extensions that can be closed in cold seasons and open in warm ones. It is better to choose furniture and interior items for the veranda that is resistant to atmospheric agents. For instance, plastic varieties chairs or transforming furniture. Will also fit wicker furniture(rocking chairs, sofas, tables).
Today, one of the most popular solutions for the decoration and construction of verandas and terraces is wireframe view outbuildings. To build this structure, it will be necessary to lay a reliable foundation and build a solid skeleton (frame) of our extension. Finishing is a matter of taste and preference.
Finishing is primarily a matter of taste and preference
We need:
You can decorate the walls with wooden or plastic types lining, polystyrene tiles, MDF panels, various composites, stone, metal, etc. To create such a building with my own hands you will need to additionally purchase various tools and fastening tools: corners, brackets, screws or nails, etc. For the material that performs the roofing role, a profile is suitable, varieties of tiles - from flexible to metal tiles, glass.
In any of the options for a terrace or veranda, insulation and waterproofing of the floor covering will be required. Taking into account the pre-selected style of design and decoration of the extension, you can use such options as: slabs or imitation of stone, linoleum, boards or laminate. In the case of choosing the latter materials, it is worth remembering about additional processing. Of course, it is better to give preference to materials that are resistant to moisture and temperature influences.
The so-called perforated sheet (perforated sheet) will make it possible to divide the extension into sections or zones. In some cases, it can be used to achieve unique design ceiling covering. Let's not forget about electrical communications.
The most popular option for finishing a terrace or veranda is the use of plastic panels. This option has sufficient thermal insulation if the weather conditions at the construction site are characterized by low air temperatures. The use of such panels will facilitate the entire building as a whole and will allow in the future to make the same lightweight windows and the opportunity to save on double-glazed windows by making simple wooden windows with his own hand. An important point is the insulation of walls and floors.
For finishing, special moisture-resistant plasterboard boards are suitable. True, in this case, when using them, it will be necessary to "hydrophobize" the walls or floors, both outside and inside.
Features of the interior decoration of the terrace
As a wall insulation, they are perfect mineral wool or expanded polystyrene.
The finishing process itself consists of the following steps:
If additional painting or plastering work is planned for decorative purposes, then preference should be given wall panels... If such panels are made of wood, then they will definitely require additional processing and subsequent maintenance.
The cheapest and most practical option for finishing a terrace or veranda will be an imitation timber finish. This option is distinguished by its relative durability and ease of installation. In addition, some manufacturers or building material stores offer a range of different types imitation, already impregnated and treated with special compounds. The buyer will only have to carry out the finishing work.
Clapboard decoration
Clapboard decoration - great option... It is characterized by increased wear resistance, resistance to moisture, excellent mechanical properties.
Advantages of clapboard finishing:
The choice in favor of clapboard finishing provides the subsequent freedom for imagination and the choice of color options for design. True, when choosing it, it should be borne in mind that when low temperatures it becomes quite fragile.
As we said earlier, it is possible to perform glazing in such a way that, with favorable weather conditions remove it, and if unfavorable, install it back. In this case, planning the structure, taking into account such a decision, will come in handy.
If you decide to choose glass coverings for finishing the veranda, then it will be very unusual and interesting to design several windows or removable window panels of different sizes and locations. By creating a terrace of this type, you can not only solve lighting problems, hide from rain and wind if necessary, but also emphasize the sophistication and uniqueness of your terrace or veranda.
Creating a flawless appearance for an extension, whether it is a veranda or a terrace, located at the entrance or around the premises, is a way to highlight the image and building skills of the home owner.
For classic options exterior decoration panels with imitation of stone or wood are perfect. Special base / plinth panels can be combined not only according to colors, but also according to the types of imitations.
The most popular option today is exterior decoration siding. This is understandable - its use is relatively cheap, practical, siding panels are easier to care for, and the installation features make it a rather attractive material.
There is a so-called vinyl type of siding. It is characterized by additional performance properties, the presence of a large assortment in colors, convenience and simplicity in installation works, as well as a fairly affordable price compared to other finishing options. In addition, the features of the installation of siding, the horizontal arrangement of the panels will add aesthetics to any terrace or veranda.
- The most popular material for finishing a terrace or veranda, as we have already noted, is wooden lining... It is suitable for both ceilings and walls. But absolutely not suitable for the floor. Differs in high environmental friendliness, excellent appearance, pleasant smell.
- Resistant to water drywall also characterized by sufficient environmental friendliness, non-combustibility, ease of installation. In addition, it is easy to process, and also allows for the most daring finishes.
— MDF - e It is a kind of wood imitation. It is characterized by strength, but does not tolerate moisture at all. Suitable for closed verandas.
— Polyvinyl chloride... PVC panels are relatively inexpensive and moisture resistant. They have a wide range of colors, are easy to install, easy to clean, and also possess good performance incombustibility and durability.
Materials for finishing the terrace and their features
— Siding- almost a favorite topic. Differs in practicality and affordability. Can be found with imitation under wood flooring, stone and many others. Not subject to decay, unlike wooden counterparts, resistant to fire, various temperature conditions. Also has a fairly long service life.
To create a unique image, both external and internal, of your terrace or veranda, do not hesitate to fantasize and allow yourself to bring to life the most daring and unexpected solutions. The main thing is to comply with the technology, and then your extension will not only be cozy and comfortable, but also reliable and will serve you for many years. Good luck!
Finishing the terrace outside and inside plays an important role in shaping our experience of the time spent there. The same applies to verandas - both closed and open. That is why it is worth approaching work on such premises as prepared as possible, having a clear idea of the desired end result.
Below we will tell you what materials can be used to decorate terraces and verandas, and also describe the technology for performing the most common operations.
One of the key questions that we will face when planning finishing works, will become the choice of material. And here, of course, the best option would be natural wood.
Both soft and hard rocks are used for flooring, wall cladding and fencing.
Softwoods are less durable and stronger, but at the same time they are easier to process. And her price is more attractive.
Soft breeds include the following:
As for hard rocks, their advantages include stability and durability. But the cost of such a finish will be much more expensive.
Note!
For processing this type of wood, it is sometimes necessary to use special tools.
They are distinguished by increased strength and better "hold" sharpening.
Among solid wood, it is worth highlighting:
However, wood is not the only material that can be used for finishing open and semi-open spaces.
For this purpose are also used:
Advice!
To prevent the wood-plastic composite from fading, it should be treated with special compounds with a UV filter.
Choosing how to decorate the terrace inside and out, you should not limit yourself only to the options listed above. In fact, there are many finishing technologies, and you will definitely find one that you like.
It is worth starting the design of a terrace or veranda with making wood flooring... In our article, we will dwell on the design in detail, describing the process of laying the foundation itself in just a few words.
So:
Advice!
If the area of the terrace is large, then under the logs with a step of about 70 cm we lay support posts made of concrete or brick.
It is also possible to install the adjustable system on screw supports (see picture).
In some cases, cheap unedged boards or plywood boards are used instead of high-quality boards. In this case, after laying the flooring, the floor is revetted ceramic tiles, which is attached to the glue.
The decoration of the walls of the terrace usually involves the decoration of the outer part of the walls of the house, to which the site is adjacent.
If there is a need to build a separate wall, then we design it using the same technology to ensure the unity of style:
Advice!
The best choice would be to use class A and B lining from solid pine, larch or spruce.
After sheathing, all walls should be varnished to protect against moisture and decay.
Such interior furnishings must be weatherproof. To do this, we varnish the wooden parts, and cover the plaster with special compounds that prevent it from getting wet.
An important element of a terrace or veranda is the enclosing structure. They can be represented by either a railing or a permanent fence with installed windows.
In any case, the instructions for their construction will be as follows:
Note!
Sheathing must be done both inside and outside, since polyurethane foam crumbles over time under the influence of UV rays.
Various accessories play an important role in the design of terraces and verandas:
Note!
If you plan to install a stationary furnace, then we will build the foundation for it separately.
Its capacity must be sufficient to withstand a mass of brick or masonry.
Beautiful decoration of a closed veranda or terrace should be done in a complex manner. It is necessary to work on the floor, and on the walls, and on individual accessories. The work is laborious, and the costs will be considerable, but the result is worth it. In more detail, the design technologies are shown in the video in this article.
One of the most significant advantages of living in a private house is the opportunity at any time of the day or night to go out into the fresh air and enjoy the scent of flowers in summer or the enchanting smell of rotten foliage in late autumn. And how pleasant it is to sit with a cup of tea on an open veranda during the first thunderstorm in May, when the air is filled with ozone and tender young greenery rustles under elastic streams. Closed veranda in country house can be easily turned into a dining room where the whole family will gather for Sunday lunch: share impressions, make plans and just chat. An important role in creating the necessary mood is played not only by the view opening from the windows, but also by the decoration of the veranda. It is she who will help you create an atmosphere of home comfort and peace.
The choice of materials for finishing the veranda is not only aesthetic, but also practical. As a rule, the word "veranda" means unheated room... In some cases, an open veranda looks more like a gazebo attached to the house, so that there is no question of heating at all.
This means that the decor should be not only beautiful, but also resistant to high humidity and temperature changes.
The most popular building material for the construction of a veranda is wood. Before proceeding with the final finishing, all wooden structures must be worked out with a special antiseptic composition.
In addition, for glazed verandas, proper thermal insulation of the lower part of the walls (under the windows) and the ceiling is of great importance. The interior decoration of the veranda begins with her. If the insulation is done correctly, the room can be inhabited until late autumn.
You can insulate the ceiling of the veranda with almost any thermal insulation materials: mineral wool, extruded polystyrene foam (EPS), foam or liquid sprayed polyurethane foam. Having chosen polystyrene, you must be prepared for the fact that for high-quality thermal insulation you will have to lay a sufficiently thick layer of this material, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the ceiling level by 10-15 cm. Sprayed polyurethane foam is an effective but expensive insulation. But EPS and mineral wool at a fairly affordable price can perfectly protect your veranda from the autumn cold.
Insulation is laid on the walls and ceiling according to the same scheme. First of all, it is necessary to provide waterproofing. To do this, a waterproof film is spread along the entire wall, and the joints between its sheets are hermetically glued with metallized tape. Then we set the vertical wooden blocks at an equal distance from each other, and between them we lay insulation.
Important! It should be remembered that mineral wool is very afraid of dampness. Under the influence of moisture, just a few years later, such a heater turns into dust.
The last layer will be a heat reflector, which is placed inside the room with a metallized film and sealed with tape.
We insulate the ceiling in the same way.
When all preparatory work completed, it's time to start thinking about the interior of your veranda. You can entrust its development to a professional designer, or you can cope with this task yourself. There are a lot of options for decorating open and closed terraces. Let's consider the most popular ones.
Most budget option veranda wall decorations in recent years are plastic panels. This material is resistant to high humidity and temperature extremes. In addition, it is quite easy to assemble and clean. It will help you imagine how interesting a photo taken in one of the hardware stores made of PVC interior decoration of the veranda can be.
The disadvantages of plastic can be attributed only to low environmental friendliness and fragility - it is very easy to break it by inadvertently pushing back a chair or accidentally hitting the wall with your knee.
As a frame for PVC panels, wooden slats with a section of 30 * 20 or 30 * 10 mm or a metal profile for mounting drywall can be used. When using wood, it must be pre-treated with an antiseptic.
Useful advice! On the walls of the veranda facing the street, it is better to use wooden slats for lathing. Fastening metal profiles can create "cold bridges", which significantly reduce the quality of thermal insulation. But for not too flat interior walls it is better to use a profile on special suspensions.
Important! The veranda walls are decorated with patterned panels from left to right. You can start the installation of plain panels from either side of the wall.
Important! If you do not use holders to mount the panels, do not over-tighten the self-tapping screw. Otherwise, the panel will "lead".
Remember that PVC panels are subject to thermal expansion. To compensate for it, it is necessary to leave a gap of 2-3 cm at the top and bottom of the wall and close it with a plinth.
Another popular finishing material is MDF panels. They are somewhat stronger than plastic, but less resistant to moisture. It is not worth using this material on open verandas, but for closed ones it is quite suitable.
MDF panels are installed in the same way as plastic ones.
When listing the materials for finishing the veranda, it is impossible not to mention the most traditional of them - wood. Most often this is the so-called lining.
Lining - a cladding board, up to 22mm thick with special grooves that facilitate installation and joining.
This material is sheathed not only on the walls, but also on the ceiling of the veranda. After treatment with antiseptics, the lining will serve you up to 20 years. There is no need to talk about the advantages of wood over artificial materials for a long time. That there is only a delicious woody scent that will be felt on your veranda for many years.
The choice of wooden lining
First of all, it should be said that according to the production method, the lining is divided into spliced and solid. In the first case, the best quality pieces of wood are joined in a special way. Despite the fact that this material looks excellent - it does not have knots, cracks and other putty defects - it is not suitable for finishing an open veranda. With high humidity, cracks may form at the splice, which will greatly spoil appearance finishes.
In addition, the lining is divided into 4 classes. The most expensive and high-quality - the "extra" class - almost always spliced. But the material of class A, B or C, as a rule, is made of solid wood. There are knots and potholes on such a lining. Most often, they are processed with putty during production.
Important! When purchasing material, be sure to unpack it. Very often there are defective or low-grade planks in the middle of the pack.
Preparation and installation of lining
Preparing the lining for installation comes down to treating it with an antiseptic and adapting the material. It is necessary to leave the lining in the room to be finished for several days, and then cover it with a protective compound.
When using lining, the veranda is trimmed with wood in almost the same way as with PVC or MDF panels. The lathing is done according to the same scheme, but there are several ways of fastening:
Important! With the help of clamps, only the veranda inside can be finished.
When the installation of the lining is completed, you need to close the corners and joints in the area of \ u200b \ u200bdoors and windows with a corner and proceed to finishing... To give the wood a shade, colored varnishes or stains are used.
Important! Before starting work, cover the forcing cut with the chosen varnish and let dry. Sometimes, after drying, the color becomes completely different from when applied. It will be very difficult to remove the varnish you don't like from the walls. For the same reason, do not buy a large amount of varnish at once: buy a little, try it, and if you like it, buy it.
You need to apply varnish from top to bottom: first we cover the ceiling, and then the walls.
So, we examined the main options for finishing the veranda from the inside. How to veneer it from the outside? In principle, you can use the lining here, but is it worth it? Despite all kinds of impregnations and antiseptics, the tree is constantly exposed to negative impact environment, quickly loses its decorative effect. This means that you will have to re-process it annually.
If you nevertheless decide to choose wood, remember that you can mount the wall paneling horizontally from the outside only with the spike up. In this case, it must be fixed in two rows - from the side of the thorn and from the side of the groove.
Siding
In recent years, siding veranda decoration has gained particular popularity. Even if the house is tiled with bricks or covered with decorative plaster, you can easily choose a shade of siding that fits perfectly into the ensemble.
The most commonly used variety of this material is vinyl siding... It owes its popularity to a fairly democratic price, good performance and ease of installation.
For facades, horizontal siding with a lock joint is most often used. We will consider the technology of its installation in more detail:
We proceed to cutting and installation of panels. Cutting through vinyl siding is easy enough. This can be done with metal scissors, a hacksaw, or a jigsaw.
Important! Vinyl is highly susceptible to thermal expansion. Therefore, each panel should be 5-7mm shorter than the wall.
Important! You cannot press the self-tapping screw tightly to the crate. The oval hole for fastening is designed so that the material can move freely along the self-tapping screw during temperature fluctuations. The distance between the cap and the lathing should be 1-1.5mm.
That's all. From the outside, your veranda looks perfect.
In order to make it easier for you to make the final choice in favor of one or another finishing material, we have prepared small photo selection:
Decorating a veranda is a creative process, because it is necessary to trim it according to the rules. Identical materials can be used when constructing a veranda different types... Some tips will help you learn the secrets of proper plating.
Most owners of private holiday homes prefer a veranda - an extension that adjoins one of the walls of the building. When creating both a calm atmosphere and a comfortable mood of the veranda, its decoration plays.
The veranda design can be open or closed type... Naturally, the decoration of the veranda inside is carried out depending on its type. To decorate an open veranda (also called a terrace), you will need Construction Materials not subject to atmospheric influences in the form of high humidity (we advise you to pay attention to modern plastic panels for outdoor decoration, perforated sheet, which can be used not only for decoration, but also dividing into zones, perforated sheet can be used to finish the ceiling of the terrace, etc.) and other interior items. For summer veranda there is no need for glazing. This type of veranda is considered a seasonal room, so cabinet furniture or solid buildings are not appropriate on the veranda.
It is enough to decorate the summer veranda indoor plants and comfortable portable sofas and armchairs. This means that the decor of an open veranda must not only be impressive, but also resistant to temperature changes or moisture.
Therefore, the interior decoration of the veranda begins with heat and waterproofing of the lower part of the walls and ceiling. What materials can be used for this?
Traditionally as interior cladding the verandas use wood and stone. Before sheathing the veranda, all wood structures must be treated with an antiseptic. The most common materials for sheathing a veranda inside and out are:
Lining and plastic
Polystyrene tiles
PVC and MDF panels.
Of course, almost all verandas of summer cottages and cottages of our vast Motherland are sheathed with these materials. Inexpensively and quickly! But you always want to diversify your home, especially if private house and its veranda is located in picturesque surroundings. You can help diversify the interior decoration and veranda cladding outside using laminate and wood veneer.
Particularly interesting are the elements designed from these materials for the verandas located on the upper floors of the house.
A simple option for creating and sheathing a veranda to a house is an extension from a planed pine beam. The structure does not require the construction of a complex and powerful foundation, therefore, the problems of joining with wooden structures and subsequent finishing does not occur.
Easy frame extension or you can build a veranda yourself. As roofing material nice to use soft shingles, which, in terms of installation technology and performance, is successfully combined with the existing roofing private house.
An approximate list of materials required for sheathing a frame veranda:
The foundation and frame of the veranda
Concrete pillars for foundation
Beam for the frame
Lathing for the bottom of the veranda
Wooden lining or OSB boards
Brackets and corners for joining timber
Self-tapping screws for fixing lining or slabs
Frame connecting anchors
Roof
Beams and roofing material
Slats and boards for lathing
Self-tapping screws for wood
Floor
Waterproofing
Floor boards or slabs
Lags and fastening elements.
In addition, it is necessary to consider the option of lighting and finishing the lower part of the veranda with stone.
Useful Tips
Experts believe that frame verandas are the cheapest and most practical option for erecting an additional structure. The structure has less weight, which requires a lightweight foundation. The connecting connections of the main structure and the veranda are easily calculated and erected, be sure to take into account the connection points of the veranda and the main structure of the house.
When connecting an open veranda, the main attention should be paid to the connection points. In this case, it is recommended to take into account the difference in the materials of the cladding and the foundation, as well as the time of construction of structures.
Ideally, the joints should function as an expansion joint, compensating for the difference in linear and volumetric expansion. Such a process is inevitable over time and with temperature and humidity changes. It is preferable to use anchors as a connecting element of the veranda walls.
For a warm veranda, the finishes differ from the finishes open type... In addition to the main interior and exterior decoration, the owners think over the glazing and the arrangement of fireplaces.
The most common glazing option is the French veranda design, which uses metal-plastic windows large sizes.
The French veranda features a glass-walled structure. The installation of powerful double-glazed windows presupposes a solid foundation and reliable support pillars.
For this, experts recommend using metal frames or corners. For glazing, one and two-layer packages can be used. It is preferable to use swing-out structures that provide the ability to open them.
"French" windows are a sliding structure with two sashes, one of which is movable. Such structures are capable of withstanding significant wind loads. Window frames are high-strength profiles with seals and reliable fittings.
Windows can be closed from inside and outside, providing an entrance to the veranda. Therefore, windows can be successfully used as doors.
It makes no sense to install expensive multilayer PVC windows. It is better to think over the option of insulating the floor and walls of the veranda. To insulate the walls, floor and ceiling of a closed veranda, it is better to use such traditional insulation.
In the case of budgetary and inexpensive finishes, ordinary windows can be installed, which are recommended to be mounted at a height of at least 80 cm from the floor.
For wall cladding of a closed veranda, you can use drywall and drywall. Before sheathing the walls of a warm veranda, it is necessary to hydrophobize the walls from the inside and outside.
Suitable as insulation:
Mineral wool
Extruded polystyrene foam.
From the side of the veranda room, the insulation is "covered" with a vapor barrier film and sewn up with plywood, drywall, clapboard or wall panels.
How to trim a closed veranda is presented in the video.
The veranda is not just a non-residential building. This is the "face" of the house, where in summer period you can have breakfast enjoying the coolness of the morning. And if the veranda is insulated, it can become a full-fledged recreation area even in winter. Full finishing of the veranda will help in this.
There are quite strict requirements for the materials that are used for finishing work:
These qualities relate to materials that will be used both inside and outside the veranda.
In this video, you will learn some helpful tips for interior decoration do-it-yourself verandas:
When choosing how to sheathe the veranda outside, you need to focus on the appearance of the house, otherwise the room will be out of the picture. Versatile materials can be combined with almost anything. They are called universal:
Wood is difficult to work with. This material deteriorates quickly without proper care. Its positive aspects include the following features:
The disadvantages include:
Usually, not the entire veranda is made of stone or brick, but only the foundation and several pillars that support the roof of the structure.
Consider the positive aspects:
Cons of material:
Plastic is one of the most popular materials. Its pluses include:
The interior decoration of the veranda is carried out with the following materials:
They all have their own installation specifics.
Interior decoration of the veranda with clapboard is a classic design option.
For the veranda, a standard thin lining of 5-10mm is usually used. Typically, this is a board made of wood, wood products, or plastic. There are differences depending on the profile. Distinguish:
The boards are connected using a special system consisting of tenons and a groove. But keep in mind that working with the clapboard is very difficult. Wooden panels shrink or swell, and plastic ones are not so whimsical.
The following tools are required for installation:
The lining can be located horizontally or vertically. You can also try to install it at an angle. It depends on your skill, imagination and the characteristics of the room. And one more tip - do not try to squeeze the spikes into the grooves all the way.
Lining - one of the types of veranda finishes To decorate the veranda from the inside, plaster is often used. This is a mixture that, after being applied to the wall, turns into a finished coating. There is a huge variety of different coatings:
The appearance of the veranda also depends on the technique of applying the material. Different results can be achieved simply by using a little more plaster or by doing different types strokes. In addition, with the help of plaster, you can create sgraffito - stucco paintings on the walls.
MDF-panels (Medium Density Fibreboard) - wood fibers, which were obtained in the process of processing solid wood blocks. After that, the chips are pressed under high pressure and temperature. The veranda can be sheathed with slabs up to 10 millimeters thick. The finished block has the following qualities:
But the material also has a minus - it reacts poorly to moisture (swells and disintegrates). If condensation often appears in the veranda, MDF panels will not work.
For the convenience of work, several formats of MDF panels are made:
It is enough to fix them to the wall with screws.
PVC panels are a material that is made of polyvinyl chloride. It's very comfortable. Since the panels are plastic, they can be bent to fit any room shape.
PVC panels have the following positive aspects:
But there is also a minus - in the cold, the material cracks. So if the winters are harsh and the temperature often reaches -15, it is better not to use PVC panels in an unheated veranda.
If you will do all the work yourself, it is advisable to choose a material with pins and grooves for quick installation. The process is as simple as with MDF.
For installation, special fasteners are involved. And you need to screw the panels with a screwdriver. In order not to damage the material, perform the operation on low power... If you bought a kit ready for installation, then here you can do without a screwdriver at all, doing only with clamps and screws.
The ceiling is the part of the structure that carries the greatest load. It is constantly exposed to moisture due to seasonal rainfall, and in winter it must also support the weight of snow. Finding the right material is not easy. It must be at the same time: durable, lightweight, moisture resistant.
Two materials meet these parameters:
They are easy to install and require little maintenance.
The ceiling is one of the heavy elements Polycarbonate - transparent modern material... It is very similar to glass, but spared its disadvantages. In particular, polycarbonate is durable and very lightweight.
It has several types:
Polycarbonate can be transparent or colored. It is easy to fix the material. To do this, create a frame on which you want to install the sheets. They are fastened with galvanized self-tapping screws with thermal washers to prevent leakage.
If you want an original ceiling on the veranda, then the cheapest alternative design solutions can become a braided version. Outwardly, it looks like the walls of a basket, but it looks stylish. Usually they use for weaving:
The installation procedure in the house is quite simple:
Install skirting boards to hide the joints. For greater aesthetics, cover it with varnish.
The final chord in the design of the veranda is the choice flooring... The options can be as follows:
To finally make a choice, think about whether you will walk barefoot or in shoes on the veranda. In addition, carpet or carpet can be laid on the floor in the veranda.
Decking is essentially processed lumber. This is a three-layer construction:
This material has many advantages:
So that the floor does not deteriorate, it is better to give preference to boards that are varnished. Installation must be done on a frame with lag transmission. Moreover, the logs must be placed perpendicularly with an interval of 40-60 cm. After that, the board can be fixed. It is better to use nails or screws as a retainer.
The slab is a difficult material to install. But the difficulties justify themselves, since the tile has the following positive qualities:
Tile installation is carried out according to the following steps:
But there is one difficulty - cutting. This must be done if the room has non-standard dimensions. This operation is almost impossible to do without a tile cutter, although you can try to replace it with a grinder.
