Fastening the beam to the beam and to other surfaces

Finishing works of any structure are carried out with the use of modern facing facilities. There are materials that have become very popular at the moment. This is the cant. Only it has several types and different ways of installation.

Varieties of timber for finishing the house

If earlier such material as a bar was only one kind, now it can be:

• Natural;
• In the form of imitation.

Both materials have almost the same technical and quality characteristics.

What are their differences?

So, the first version of the material is a full log, which is fastened on the basis of a specific frame both inside and outside the building. The second type is considered more practical and less expensive. It has a flat surface on one side, and a convex surface on the other.

Advantages of the beam in the finish

First, the material has an attractive appearance. Secondly, the fastening of the beam to the wall is quite simple and quick. It all depends on the type of construction that is the basis for these works.

The main properties of the beam of any kind include:

• Ecological compatibility;
• practicality;
• durability;
• reliability;
• strength.

The sizes of materials are various.

Disadvantages of the material

It is impossible to say that the bar has any significant disadvantages. They are peculiar to any wooden material. Insects are often found in the structure, which destroy it. Also, there is no resistance to fire and moisture. Although all this can be corrected by special means applied to the surface of the material.

On what surfaces can you attach a real timber?

Fastening of a wooden bar is possible on such surfaces:

• Wooden;
• Brick;
• Stone;
• Monolithic.

It is the structures made of such materials that can withstand significant loads. In principle, the installation techniques for this finishing product are similar. But if you are fixing the beam to the beam, then there are some recommendations for doing the work.

What can you simulate the bar?

There are no restrictions in such works. The reason is that the material does not have a large mass. And one of its sides is even. It is for this reason that the fastening of the beam simulation can be performed even on gypsum boards. For this, there are certain technologies for performing the work.

How to mount a finishing beam to a wooden wall?

The most difficult is the fastening of the bar to the bar. The work process consists of several stages. There are also different technologies. So, you can mount the material:

• On the frame;
• With special bolts.

Let's consider each of them.

Mounting the beam on the frame

This option is considered to be the most laborious and at the same time qualitative way, by means of which the beam is fixed to the bar. Previously, the wall surface does not need to be leveled, since the crate already hides all the defects.

To perform the installation, you will need:

• Wooden bars and boards, slats;
• Self-tapping screws for wood ;
• Dowels;
• Screwdriver;
• Perforator;
• building level;
• Electric jigsaw or saw.

In the process of finishing it is possible to conduct insulation and insulation of the house.

To conduct such work, you need:

• Sheet insulating materials;
• stationery knife;
• Mounting foam.

As the first means, foam or polyurethane foam is used. A mounting foam is easily replaced with a sealant or similar substance.

So, on the surface of the wall a crate of wooden slats is being built. The width of its cells should not exceed 50 cm. Later it will enable to securely fix the material on its surface.

If the insulation of the structure is carried out, then cut out sheets of insulating material are inserted into these cells according to the parameters of the holes. Slots that are formed in the process of work between the frame and the heater, are treated with sealant or mounting foam. With the last tool you need to work carefully, since it has the property of swelling after application on the surface.

Since the bar "breathes", you need to provide him with an air cushion. For this, a second crate of the same size is attached over the crate, in which the insulating material sheets are mounted. Only after this, it is possible to fix the beam to the beam using screws and bolts with long legs.

Mounting material without a frame

This method is simple. But at the same time it should be taken into account that the insulation of the building will not work in the course of the work. So, previously the surface, especially wood, is treated with special tools and primers. Then the process of winding the strips of the bar with the help of dowels and self-tapping screws is performed.

This method of mounting the material is effectively used with imitation of the bar.

If the material is attached outside the house, then inside it is necessary to conduct insulation work. Similarly, with a different method of installation.
