Usage sheet materials in the construction and finishing of housing - a well-known business. But if in the past it was necessary to do only with chipboard, fiberboard or plywood, today the ranks of traditional samples have been replenished with new analogues with improved properties, which makes them more suitable for certain types of work.

One example of such products is OSB boards for interior decoration, which will be discussed below.

What is OSB board?

OSB (OSB) is an oriented strand board. The material is a panel made from pressed softwood shavings and deciduous trees. Chip sizes can be from 60 to 150 mm.

OSB plates have high strength and density, due to the combination of several layers in them. In the middle, the shavings are located across the sheet, and in the lower and upper layers - along.

All layers of material are pressed under high temperature and pressure and impregnated with waterproof resins and paraffin. Used as a binder phenolic and formaldehyde resins. The finished slabs have a homogeneous structure - no cracks, chips or cavities.

Read more about the characteristics of the OSB in our article.

Is it harmful to use a slab for interior decoration?

The possibility of using OSB for finishing depends on the marking of the product, which in turn is determined by the amount of synthetic resins in the material, which release during operation harmful fumes.

The largest number poisonous substances (from 10 to 30 mg per 100 g of dry matter) are contained in plates of class E2 and E3. OSB panels marked E0 and E1 contain a minimum proportion of harmful components - from 6.5 to 10 mg. These are, as a rule, products foreign manufacturers: Glunz (Germany), Norbord (Canada), Egger (Austria).

Thus, the products of the last two brands are the most suitable for use for interior decoration.

Materials of the same class E2 and E3 can only be used for outdoor work.

To protect yourself from buying "dangerous" material, it is worth considering some points that partially determine right choice OSB:

• smell of slabs. With high content harmful substances the material smells strongly of formalin and cheap plastic;
• products must have a certificate certified by the stamp from the manufacturer or supplier. A copy of the document can be requested from the seller;
• it will also not be superfluous to inspect the packaging, if any. Products from major manufacturers are usually labeled and provided with information inserts.

How to make a partition from OSB inside the house and with what screws to fix it?

OSB - quite suitable material for construction internal partitions rooms. The strength and light weight of the sheets clearly testify in favor of this product. OSB boards can be mounted on (like gypsum board) or on a wooden frame.

If the second option is used, the wood should be treated protective materials from mold and mildew, as well as fire protective equipment.

Now with regard to partition installation diagrams, which will be considered on the example timber frame:

1. At the place of installation of the structure, markings are made. Lines are drawn along the floor and ceiling, which will serve as guidelines for the installation of horizontal guides.
2. Along the marking lines, beams with a section of 4x6 cm are fixed.If the wall will be subjected to serious loads (for example, it is planned to hang furniture on it), it is better to use thicker bars - 5-8 cm. The guides are attached using dowels.
3. Install vertical posts, which are fixed to horizontal beams using metal corners and self-tapping screws.

The spacing between the posts depends on the width of the slab, which is different. So, if the transverse size of the OSB sheet is 125 cm (a value inherent in European brands), then optimal distance between the axes of the vertical beams - 62.5 cm. In this case, it will be possible to screw the edges and the middle of the slab to the frame.

4. After installing the racks, the OSB panels are mounted.

They are fixed with self-tapping screws, whose length depends on the thickness of the sheets and should be 45-50 mm more than this value. For example, when using a material with a thickness of 12 mm, the recommended length of self-tapping screws will be 60-65 mm.

Self-tapping screws are screwed in the middle of the plate with a step of 30 cm, at the edges - every 15 cm. The distance from the edge is 1 cm. A gap of 1 cm is left between the plates and the floor. The same gap should remain between the OSB and the ceiling.

Also, the panels should not be installed close to each other, but at a distance of 3 mm from each other. This will protect the sheets from deformation due to changes in humidity.

Internal wall cladding

This process, just like the above procedure, requires the preliminary construction of a frame, for which all the same wooden beams or profile are used. Now an example for arranging the lathing will serve metal version as the timber frame was discussed earlier.

Wall decoration with OSB slabs consists of the following stages:

1. The first step is, as always, the markup.

If the wall is uneven, you should find the most protruding part of it, from which you should push off. Lines are drawn along the wall, after which the starting UD profile is attached to the floor and ceiling using self-tapping screws or dowels.

2. Further, vertical CD profiles are inserted into the installed guides and also fixed - to the wall using self-tapping screws and metal hangers, to horizontal guides - with drilling screws. The spacing between the posts is the same as in the case of a wooden frame.
3. To stiffen the crate, the vertical posts reinforce transverse profiles... At standard height ceilings (2.5 m), it will be enough to install two elements for each span.

Installation of slabs is carried out in accordance with the rules mentioned in the instructions for the construction of partitions.

How to decorate the slab inside the room?

Interior decoration wooden country houses as in the photo can be completely different in cost and design. For finishing surfaces from OSB sheets are used various materials... Let's consider them further.

Is it possible to mount drywall on OSB?

Can. And for this it is not necessary to use metallic profile, but it is enough to screw the material to the base with self-tapping screws.

The main thing here is that the humidity level in the room was not high, since otherwise it can lead to deformation of the OSB and, therefore, the very plasterboard sheathing... Self-tapping screws are screwed in along the perimeter and in the center of the gypsum board in steps of 10-15 cm.

Painting with varnish and acrylic paint

Varnish increases moisture resistance OSB boards. This finishing method is good for wet rooms... Plates can be painted with any varnish intended for natural wood... The surface is cleaned of dirt, degreased, smoothed with sandpaper and treated with a primer. The varnished OSB has a smooth surface, but retains its texture.

Also a good option for finishing OSB -. It rolls well with a roller on the surface and forms a durable and breathable coating.

For the best effect, it is advisable to paint in two coats.

Plastering with gypsum plaster

Putty materials do not adhere well to wood. Therefore, it is best to use formulations that have maximum adhesion to wood surfaces. This can be dry mixes "Rodband" or "Goldband" containing polymer additives and most suitable for working with wood. Vitonit KR can be used as a finish line.

Before filling OSB primed with a special compound, where glue, interlining and a little putty mixture are added. If this measure is neglected, the impregnation of the base can appear on the finished surface, as a result of which the finish will become stained.

How to plaster the surface of OSB boards?

For plastering OSB, it is best to use a special mixture. For example, Knauf sevener... The plaster finishing technology itself includes the following steps:

• The joints between the plates are putty and pasted over with a serpyanka.
• The surface is treated with a primer (you can take Knauf Tifengrund).
• The first layer of plaster is applied and the reinforcing mesh is embedded in it.
• Covering and leveling layers are applied on top.

Glass wallpaper sticker

If the slabs smooth (sanded), wallpaper can be glued directly to them. Otherwise, you will have to plaster and putty the surface, doing it according to the technology described above.

Glass fiber is glued to special compounds. In this case, dry mix "Methylane Fiberglass Premium" and granular composition "Methylane Granulate Premium" are suitable.

How to glue ceramic tiles?

You can paste it in several ways:

• fix the expanded mesh on the surface and lay the cladding on any adhesive for ceramic tiles;
• install directly on the OSB board using an adhesive for deforming surfaces;
• use epoxy grout instead of adhesive.

The liquid wallpaper

This type of finish is applied to OSB as well as an ordinary wall... You just need prepare the foundation by sealing the joints and treating the surface with a primer.

Per 12 hours before the start of work the composition is kneaded and left in cellophane bag... The finished material is applied with a spatula in an even layer from 3 to 7 mm.

One of the advantages of such a material is that it is not afraid of small surface defects. They are simply smoothed out when the mixture is applied.

Is it possible to sheathe a sauna and a garage inside the OSB with a stove?

OSB sheets are a material that is suitable not only for finishing residential premises. It can also be used successfully for cladding or garage applications.

In the first case, of course, you only need to use eco-friendly brands of material.

OSB in the bath should be processed 2-3 coats of water-soluble varnish, which will give the surface a shine and protect it from the effects of moisture.

As for the cladding, here OSB of any marking is suitable, since in non-residential premises, concern for the environment is the tenth thing and the harmfulness of the material does not matter.

From all of the above, we can conclude that OSB boards are a universal product suitable for use under different kinds finishes. This quality, combined with the strength of the panels, makes OSB a worthy representative of the sheet materials category.

How to putty OSB with your own hands - a detailed course for beginners:

- this is the second home. Here many "men" spend all evenings and weekends. Therefore, the improvement of this additional "living" area is an important matter. Even if this is not the case in your case, any person still wants to feel cozy and comfortable in the room. And in this situation, it is important how to sheathe the garage inside. What materials can you use? Some options will be discussed in this article.

Requirements for finishing materials

To sheathe the walls of the garage, it is very important to choose the right material. Not only the appearance will depend on this, but also the safety and the duration of operation. So, the material must meet the following requirements:

• resistance to mechanical stress;
• resistance to chemicals;
• not fear of temperature changes;
• incombustibility;
• ease of care;
• aesthetics.

it General requirements to the materials. Everything else will depend on the taste and financial capabilities of the garage owner.

Plaster is the cheapest option

Usage sand-cement mortar for wall decoration in non-residential premises is an old and proven method. A layer of plaster protects against excess moisture and insulate the garage a little. In addition, cement and sand are non-flammable substances, which means that the level of fire safety increases.

The plaster mortar is being prepared in the usual way... For one part of cement, three, four or five (depending on the brand of cement) parts of sifted sand are taken. Then, using a trowel, the mixture is applied to the surface. If the walls are uneven, several coats can be applied.

To increase durability and improve appearance, all walls can be painted. For these purposes, it is better to take waterproof or facade paints. In this case, the surface can be washed.

Use of ceramic tiles

Another popular way is to use ceramic tiles. This finish is not afraid of fire, mechanical stress and chemicals... Also, the tile is easy to clean, and (subject to the installation technology) it is not afraid of water.

How more reliable option you can choose clinker tiles. This material is made from a special clay using a special firing. As a result, all the pores of the tile are closed, and it is absolutely not afraid of water. But such finishing material quite expensive.

Decorating walls in a garage with tiles (ordinary ceramic or clinker) requires certain skills. In addition, such a material is quite heavy, so only strong walls can withstand such a load. Finishing tiles can be used if the garage is built of bricks or concrete.

A newly built garage will shrink, so tiling is undesirable until this process is complete.

Wood trim

Quite often, wood is used to decorate the walls in the garage. Wooden panels or clapboard can be beautifully decorated rather quickly and without dirt inner space... Moreover, it will be relatively inexpensive.

But this material has a number of disadvantages. First, the tree burns well. Therefore, this finish increases the fire hazard. Secondly, wooden structures due to temperature changes and changes in humidity, they can begin to warp. This will seriously affect the appearance.

Wood absorbs odors well. After prolonged use, the walls of the garage can start to smell very unpleasant.

But there is one alternative. The walls in the garage can be sheathed with oriented strand board or OSB. This material is 90% wood shavings, and the rest is a special waterproof resin. Thanks to this composition, the stoves do not burn, are not impregnated with odors and are not afraid of excessive moisture. The structure of the OSB allows you to hold well driven nails and one more plus - there is no danger of damage by insects (which cannot be said about an ordinary tree).

Application of plastic panels

You can use and modern material... Plastic panels are perfect for decorating walls in a garage. This material will not burn and will not be damaged by excessive moisture. In addition, the walls can be easily washed, which is very important for keeping the garage clean.

It is better to use as panels for decoration facade materials... They are stronger and more durable. But even these panels have one significant drawback - they are fragile. Plastic can easily break from a strong blow.

When choosing a material for decorating walls in a garage, you need to weigh the pros and cons, look at the photo and choose suitable option... It is important to understand for what purpose you will be using the garage. If it will be constantly held renovation work, it is better to choose reliable plaster or strong ceramic tiles... If the garage is needed only for storing the car, then you can use wooden or plastic panels... They are not as durable and practical, but they have a more attractive appearance.

Although the garage is considered a place for parking and servicing a personal vehicle, many car enthusiasts seek to expand the functionality of this space, turning it into a place for a comfortable pastime. To provide the interior with coziness, first of all, you need to sheathe the inner surfaces with practical, but at the same time, pleasing to the eye material. Consider what are the best ceiling sheathing methods.

How to cover the ceiling?

Before heading to hardware store, it is worth taking into account a number of significant nuances. Firstly, looking for a suitable option, focusing only on the criterion of appearance, can be fraught. If the product is unable to maintain its properties under the pressure of temperature changes, humid air and other factors, then no appearance and attractiveness will compensate for this disadvantage.

It is also necessary to take into account the specifics of the garage: here, for finishing, not only the climate is a threat, but also the evaporation of brake fluid, engine exhaust and other substances with which the car's operation is associated.

Given that a garage building is rarely equipped with a full-fledged heating system, all available measures should be taken to maintain heat. For this, the inside of the garage roof must be insulated with a special "pillow".

Optimal candidates for the role of the latter are:

• Styrofoam;
• mineral wool;
• penoplex and others.

It is the penoplex that keeps the temperature most efficiently: even a thin layer will be enough to stabilize the microclimate. This feature is relevant for low garages, where excessive lowering of the ceiling will noticeably reduce the already modest space of the room.

The need for the insulation procedure itself is justified by the fact that about a quarter of the heat evaporates through the ceiling. So after the correct installation of the insulation is completed, the result will be noticeable even without a thermometer.

To create a reliable insulation sheet, you will need to form a frame, which can be made of wood or metal. Wood will cost, of course, cheaper, but it is also vulnerable to conditions that provoke fire (even the wood must be treated with a fire retardant before installation). Successful installation frame structure requires knowledge of technology, which will be discussed below.

Making a wooden hanging frame

Hanging frame made of metal

1. This option is similar in its design to the installation of a wooden frame. The markup is done according to the same scheme: the perimeter is outlined, and after it the joints of the rails with the walls. After that, the suspensions intended for the CD-profile are attached, with an indent of half a meter.

   

   

2. However, there is also a UD profile fixed along the walls and directed bottom to the previously broken-off wall. This profile is a carrier of two functions at once and acts simultaneously as a holder and a guide. Pairs of dowel screws are attached every 40-50 centimeters.

   

   

3. Having done all of the above, you need to fix the CD-to-UD-profiles in the marked places. Before that, every unit metal frame shorten to a suitable length, taking into account a tolerance of 5 mm (the profile will be shorter than the distance from wall to wall by a centimeter), and then put it into the guides, while ignoring the suspensions.
4. By stretching a nylon thread under the frame perpendicular to it, you will get a guideline for alignment. So that the sagging profiles do not interfere, raise them higher, wrapping them in the wings of the suspensions. After that, the profiles at the height of the thread are attached to the guides and hangers with small self-tapping screws.

   

Advice! When trying to fix hangers on concrete slab you will surely face a problem: the dowels will slip inward due to the fact that the concrete mass is hollow. You can get around this obstacle by using flared dowels. Impact anchors will also work if you choose a different screw.

Since the hangers are mounted on 6 mm dowels, screws with a diameter of 4-5 mm are the best. Neglecting this recommendation will result in the dowel falling out of the hole, since it will not be expanded sufficiently.

Warming

The easiest way is to insert insulation material between the profiles and fill the joints polyurethane foam... This method is best if the foam acts as a thermal pillow. Although, according to the same principle, mineral wool can be laid with a special condition: its edges must be pushed under the frame, since the foam by itself will not hold such a soft material.

Foiled polyethylene foam (penofol) also copes well with the task of insulation. Having prepared a single canvas, the dimensions of which are consistent with the parameters of the ceiling, it must be attached to the frame using a mounting stapler, and the joints must be glued with tape. On top of the foam layer, slats are attached, to which, in turn, lining or any other cladding material.

Advice! Be careful if your choice falls on mineral wool... Wear protective equipment (such as goggles, a respirator, and closed clothing) to prevent fiber dust from entering your body and respiratory tract.

This is especially important for allergy sufferers and carriers of various ailments that affect breathing: carcinogenic particles, in contact with the skin and mucous membranes, provoke severe irritation.

The choice of material for cladding

TO today the most widespread are four ways to decorate the ceiling of a garage room:

• wet plastering;
• plasterboard lining;
• installation of PVC panels;
• laying OSB sheets.

Materials have both advantages and disadvantages. In addition to performance, they vary greatly in price. Therefore, you should weed out too expensive options and choose from the remaining set.

It is also worth considering the consumption of material. It is advisable to calculate in advance the volume that will be involved in the work, and add 1/10 of the figures obtained to it. Such a measure ensures that there is sufficient material to fully implement the repair plan.

Plastic panels, regardless of the outer color and tone, are manufactured by manufacturers in the following sizes:
length - 2.6; 2.7 and 3 m.
width from 0.15 to 0.50 m
thickness - 6,8,9 and 10 mm.

Do not overlook the factors that the ceiling will face. Aggressive substances, moisture and temperature fluctuations can negate all work if the product used is not designed for such conditions.

Wet plastering

This method became widespread earlier than others and still does not lose its relevance, since it shows very good results regarding the criteria of resistance and durability. The process itself consists of three steps.

Spray - application of a solution, brought to a creamy consistency, on a pre-moistened surface.

Application of an even more thickened composition to the hardened spray and further leveling. This is the "foundation" of the coating, because this layer is the thickest.

Covering. Here, the thickest solution is used, which is applied locally at a time and leveled with a scraper. Such careful measures are necessary, since the previous two steps cannot produce a sufficiently smooth plane.

The attractive properties of a wet-plastered ceiling are too good not to hide behind a catch, which is the laboriousness of the process. Not everyone can put so much time and effort into arranging a garage, and therefore many are moving on to alternative solutions.

PVC panels

These panels are good for the promptness of installation, which takes no more than 4 hours. At the same time, the service life is really impressive, which in tandem with unpretentious care makes this material a favorite in the eyes of supporters of practicality. For cleaning, any household chemicals... With regard to the external component, modern assortment always allows you to choose something to your liking. Closes the galaxy of advantages of PVC is quite reasonable price.

Referring to operational characteristics, it should be noted the outstanding resistance to moisture and fire protection. All installation measures can be implemented without the assistance of specialists, which, again, saves the repair budget.

The only flaw in PVC is fragility. However, with careful handling, troubles will not arise, it is enough to refrain from hitting the panels.

Installation of PVC plates on the ceiling involves the following sequence of actions.

Prepare panels from wall to wall length. The panels will be positioned across the frame profiles. To cut the canvas for your own convenience, you should construction knife remembering to break off the blunt end.

On the first board, cut the chamfer so that it touches the guide more closely. This will prevent a dusty streak from forming.

Fix the panel with self-tapping screws and press washers. This will ensure the strength of the structure even when deformed under the influence of temperature.

Shorten and cut the board. To calculate the appropriate width, you need to measure the distance from the deep edge of the profile to the near end of the penultimate panel, and then subtract 5 mm from the resulting value.

Insert the finishing element of the new ceiling first into the guide, and then push it into the end groove of the adjacent board (preferably with damp palms for better grip).

This algorithm, with some differences, is also used when installing drywall and OSB boards.

Drywall

Sew up the ceiling drywall sheets preferred by most garage owners. This is due to the simplicity of the procedure, even taking into account the need to assemble the frame. Even non-professionals can independently carry out such an installation. Most often, the frame is built from light galvanized profile plates, which are also characterized by an affordable price.

A number of obvious advantages incline to the use of drywall, including:

• the ability to mask flaws in the coating;
• elementary installation that does not take much time;
• the ability to hide communications between ceiling slab and drywall;
• segmentation of the web into sheets, which allows you to eliminate damaged parts without the need to replace the rest;
• the ability to create a multi-level structure;
• safety and environmental friendliness of the material;
• affordable cost.

The following circumstances can force the refusal of sheathing with this material:

• the height of the second ceiling will be less than the priority one by at least 3-4 centimeters;
• sheet joints can crack over time and turn into a place of accumulation of moisture, which poses a great threat to drywall;
• vulnerability to water also prevents the surface from being washed. (only wiping with a barely wet cloth is permissible);
• rapid loss of the original color.

Installation of drywall to the ceiling assumes compliance with the following rules.

Oriented strand board

If the materials described earlier were a combination of practical and aesthetic properties in a certain proportion, then OSB is a material that perfectly copes with the main tasks, but sacrificing for this appearance... Such slabs are suitable for those who want to get high-quality and cheap cladding. The sheets are available in various thicknesses, so you can choose a suitable configuration.

In production, OSBs are saturated with resin and paraffin, which endows the product with outstanding moisture resistance and strength. Also, the material can be painted and is easy to process.

OSB - oriented strand board

At the same time, water evaporation remains a problem, as is the case with drywall: even if contact with moisture is not scary for the slabs, their edges remain vulnerable. Careful treatment with special compounds will help to cover the weak point.

Installation is carried out according to the same scheme as in the case of PVC, and differs from it only in a few moments.

1. Whether it's screws for wood or metal frames, you can use products up to 25mm in length.
2. Before hiding the unsightly texture of the OSB with painting, you need to fix the gaps at the joints with wood putty. When painted, oriented strand board will be indistinguishable from drywall.

Stages of ceiling cladding using OSB

On a note! Standard size OSB boards 2.5x1.25 m. It turns out two sheets in length across the garage, taking into account the cutouts when adjusting to uneven walls. It turns out that the distance between the center lines of the extreme carriers will be 1.25 m and one more carrier in the middle. It should be borne in mind that between the extreme ones on the sheet bearing the distance should be kept very precisely so that both adjacent sheets converge on the centerline of the beam 50 mm wide.

Compare the considered methods of covering the garage ceiling with each other and choose the best option it will be easier if you refer to the table.

Table. Comparison of the methods of covering the ceiling in the garage.

Method / material	Advantages	disadvantages
Wet plastering	Durability, the ability to maintain the original ceiling height	High labor intensity and the need for a specific skill
PVC panels	Easy to maintain and install, as well as the speed of the latter, long service life	Fragility
Drywall	Ease of replacing obsolete panels, the ability to hide unsightly communications, environmental friendliness	A noticeable underestimation of the ceiling, susceptibility to the destructive effect of moisture, which also does not allow washing the coating
OSB	Cheapness in tandem with good performance	Poor visual design

Armed with the information covered in the article, you will surely find material that meets your individual needs. At the same time, no matter what the choice fell on, it is necessary to take installation measures seriously. The integrity of the structure and its service life depend on how correctly the installation is carried out. Certainly not worth saving on fasteners. After consulting with a specialist, there is no need to find a compromise between the recommendations received and the desire to save time and money. Remember: the miser pays twice, so it’s better to put in the effort and get reliable ceiling than to reap the benefits of your stinginess in the form of sagging or peeling cover and other consequences.

Self-finishing garage - all the most popular options

Each owner has his own idea of ​​how his garage should look like. Simple enough for one metal box, and the second seeks to create a comfortable and warm house, in which you can put the car, and the shelf if you need to knock down, and meet with friends, such a mini-club of interest. Accordingly, the finish of the garage inside and outside will be different. In this article I will try to highlight the most popular options for decorating garages today, and the emphasis will be on self-arrangement.

What does finishing work in garages include?

All structures of such a plan are divided into capital block and light metal constructions... Naturally, both materials and finishing technology will be different in each case.

But whatever home you choose for your car, general technology includes four main areas:

1. The first and perhaps most important is the arrangement of the walls from the inside and, naturally, from the outside.;
2. The most painful and no less problematic question has always been how to decorate the gate.;
3. Whatever one may say, but the car still has a decent weight and a solid floor in the garage plays an important role.... Moreover, the problem doubles if the owner wants to equip himself with a cellar or viewing pit;
4. Ceiling trim is more desirable than mandatory., but we will also touch on this issue.

Since the finishes of the floor, ceiling and doors in all garages are generally similar, I will discuss these areas below in separate chapters. And we will start our conversation with options wall decoration in block and metal garages.

How and how to decorate walls in block structures

In this case, block structures mean buildings made of brick, cinder block, foam or aerated concrete, as well as solid or prefabricated reinforced concrete structures.

Of all the above materials used for the construction of garages, foam and aerated concrete require a special approach. It is strictly forbidden to leave these materials without finishing, since they are hygroscopic, that is, they can be quite saturated with moisture.

Good old plaster

As long as there is capital construction, as many people are plastering buildings. Therefore, the list of how to decorate the walls of a block garage is traditionally headed by plaster.

Create indoors comfortable conditions and to make it warm and cozy, the cladding will allow garage OSB plates. This modern finishing material is suitable for wall and ceiling cladding and has many advantages over the usual plywood or clapboard.

OSB plates called panels made of wood shavings. It is a building material consisting of wood shavings (thin chips) glued together with various resins with the addition of synthetic wax and boric acid... Sawdust from coniferous and other species in them is laid in several longitudinal and transverse layers, impregnated with paraffin and various synthetic resins. To impart strength and durability, the material is pressed under pressure at high temperatures.

The resulting slabs are durable, do not have cracks, chips and other flaws. Wall cladding with this material has many advantages:

• such plates do not delaminate;
• thanks to antiseptic impregnation, fungi and mold do not appear on them;
• panels are flexible and easy to install on uneven surfaces;
• the cladding does not collapse from moisture ingress.

How large is the amount of synthetic resin, the labeling of the product will tell. The largest number of these components are found in the E2 and E3 class slabs, and the smallest in the E0 and E1 panels. Since the garage is not a living space, it can be finished with OSB with any markings.

Installation steps

To sheathe the garage OSB panels, a frame made of metal or wooden beams... If the choice is made in favor of wood, it must be pretreated with fire retardant impregnation and solutions against mold and mildew.

First, markings are made inside the garage. With curved walls, to draw the marking lines, you need to select the most protruding section and use it as a reference point.

On the markup mount horizontal bars fixing them with dowels or self-tapping screws. Then using metal corners, vertical racks are attached to the horizontal rails. The installation of the frame is complete.

Now it remains to trim the racks with OSB panels. They are attached to the frame with self-tapping screws, the length of which should be 4-5 cm greater than the sheet thickness. During installation, a gap of about 3 mm should be left between the plates - this will avoid deformation of the panels due to humidity or temperature extremes.

To further protect facing materials from aggressive impact external factors, they can be varnished for woodworking. Previously, the surface of the OSB board should be degreased and lightly sanded with sandpaper.

You can also make a prefabricated frame on which to sew up OSB plates. But the principle is still the same.
