Having completed the construction of a log house, you should not think that this is all the work is over. On the contrary, the most interesting is just ahead! To create a cozy atmosphere, interior decoration of a house from a bar is necessary, which requires more detailed attention.

And how to correctly conduct it, read in this article.

Internal work in a wooden house - an integrated approach

If you have not yet come across the term "interior decoration of houses from a bar", then it is worth explaining that this is a whole set of cases, which includes:

• Laying of communications (heating, water supply, sewerage, electricity);
• Impregnation of wooden walls with antiseptics and fire-resistant compounds; (see also article)
• Thermal insulation and waterproofing of walls, floors, ceilings (if necessary);
• Installation of partitions and other structures;
• Preparation of walls, ceilings, floors for decorative finishing (alignment, installation of a frame for attaching sheathing material, etc.);
• Finishing cladding of walls, ceilings, floors;
• Installation of interior doors, switches, lighting devices.

Advice!
If you have never done any of the above works before, then it is better to entrust it to qualified specialists.
Well, let it leave more money than originally planned.
But this way you can be sure that everything is done efficiently and reliably.
This is especially true for communications.
It is quite possible to cope with the rest of the tasks on your own.

Interior decoration of a house made of profiled timber is a responsible business. Therefore, before proceeding with it, it would be good to draw up a design project in which all the nuances are clearly spelled out. In particular, the location of heating pipes, electricity, sewage and much more.

That is, you need to clearly consider all the previously cited points: from rough materials to decorative coatings - their type, required quantity, cost, color, texture, etc.

Another important point to be aware of is that all wooden structures have shrinkage.

This process can be roughly divided into two stages:

1. Primary shrinkage - in most cases, it lasts for the first 2 years due to the drying out of the wood. Due to the fact that at this time there is a decrease in the gaps between the beams under the weight of the roof, cracks of various sizes may appear outside and inside the room. In addition, the ceiling and walls may shrink by 2-3 centimeters.
   In view of this, experts do not recommend using rigid structures (for example, drywall, plastic panels) when decorating walls and ceilings until the shrinkage of the house is completed.
2. Secondary - associated with fluctuations in moisture and temperature of wood. As a rule, it is insignificant and is unlikely to somehow negatively affect the interior claddings.
   Then, what could be the interior decoration of a house made of glued laminated timber or profiled in the first years after the end of construction?
   The best thing to do here is:
   
   • Plaster the supporting structures and cover them with special paints and varnishes that protect the tree from mold and decay;
   • Install a two-layer sub-floor;
   • Leave the ceiling as it is or use a stretch fabric.

Rough and finish floor

First of all, a subfloor rises in the dwelling from a bar. We advise you to opt for a double floor structure - it will best keep the warmth inside the room.

How is it, a double sub-floor? That is, special logs are built, between which a heater with a waterproofing layer is laid (for example, mineral wool). Then the whole thing is covered with boards, followed by a final floor covering. Perhaps this is the simplest, most economical and effective option in terms of saving heat and sound insulation.

But as a final floor covering in log houses, it is very popular to use the following materials:

1. Sliced ​​sheet piling.
   It has a lot of advantages, of which I would especially like to note the following:
   
   • it is a 100% environmentally friendly material that, thanks to natural data and special impregnations, "breathes" and has excellent resistance to moisture;
   • strength and durability is another advantage of the sheet pile board (moreover, it is very convenient and easy to care for such a floor);
   • modern variations in the processing and tinting of the surface of the boards make it possible to harmoniously fit them into almost any interior;
   • if necessary, the flooring can always be renewed by sanding or sanding the boards.

1. But if a water or infrared "warm floor" system is used as additional heating, then you can forget about the floorboard. The fact is that a decent part of the heat will be spent on heating the tongue.
   In this case, laminate or parquet board is most often used for laying the finished floor.

Important!
When choosing parquet / laminate for underfloor heating, pay attention to the presence of the appropriate markings, which should mean that the coating has good heat conductivity.

Wall cladding options

As mentioned above, the interior decoration of the walls of a house made of timber implies their preparation (puttying, insulation, moisture and vapor barrier, etc. work) and further cladding with a finishing material / coating.

Advice!
Before finishing the wall structures, answer the question: "for what purposes will the built house be used?"
If it was erected to spend exclusively weekends and summer vacations in it, then you can safely save on insulation.
Indeed, no one will live here in winter.
But if, on the contrary, (that is, this is the main dwelling), then it is simply necessary to insulate the walls.

As for the finishing of the walls, there are many interesting solutions. True, when the house is shrinking (recall - the first 2 years after the end of construction), it is better to limit yourself to paints, varnishes or a simple stain.

This treatment is remarkable in that the natural grain of the wood is preserved. After all, the tree itself has unique patterns that are drawn by the most talented artist - nature. Why hide this beauty? This technique is especially effective if the walls of the house are built of valuable timber.

Attention!
When choosing paint and varnish coatings, give preference to those containing as few substances harmful to health as possible.

For information!
Modern paint is matte, semi-gloss and glossy - consider this when buying it.

In the event that shrinkage is no longer threatened, the interior decoration of a wooden house from a bar can be made with sheet materials.

Let's take a look at the most fashionable ones:

1. Isotex wall panels. They are made, as a rule, from wood without adding glue, therefore they have excellent environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity. The advantages here also include good thermal insulation characteristics, sound-absorbing properties and easy installation.

Vinyl wall-paper or linen fabrics act as the outer covering of the panels. In specialized stores, you will certainly find a rich assortment of these products, made in various colors and textures.

1. Drywall - is actively used everywhere for interior work. And this is not surprising, because any architectural creations (in particular arches) can be created from it! In addition, it has a low specific gravity, is easy to process and is an environmentally friendly material. Oh, yes, the price for it is very, very pleasant, despite a lot of useful qualities.

Installation instructions for gypsum plasterboard sheets suggest fixing them to a metal or wooden frame, which is pre-built on wall structures. Such a system is convenient in that the timber and the plasterboard will not come into contact with each other - this will keep both the load-bearing walls and the cladding from cracking.

Behind the sheet material, in the frame, you can conveniently hide electrical wiring, plumbing, and other communications (not to mention the insulation layer).

1. Interior wall decoration with imitation of timber - siding, lining, block house, MDF panels. Many of our compatriots like real Russian log huts, but, alas, this is a very expensive pleasure. Therefore, it is necessary to build from a cheaper material - profiled or glued beams, which have a rectangular cross-section. (see the article for more details)

Interior decoration imitation of a bar allows you to give a log house that lacking nobility, and without a lot of money, time and effort. A room with such a cladding is difficult to distinguish from natural logs.

The main advantages are:

• Environmental friendliness - the room will always have a favorable microclimate. And if you use pine or larch panels, then the air in the house will become truly healing! (see the article for more details)
• A wide range of applications - such panels can also be used for interior decoration of a bath from a bar with your own hands or external facing of buildings. And this is due to the unique properties of the material: resistance to moisture, temperature extremes, ultraviolet light and other harmful influences.

• Simplified installation - a convenient groove fastening system not only facilitates the cladding process, but also makes the decorative coating monolithic and durable.

As you can see, the interior decoration of houses made of laminated veneer lumber can be very diverse and original, to match the chosen style of room decoration.

Once we started repairs, let's not forget about the ceiling.

Here, again, you need to proceed from whether the shrinkage occurs at the time of finishing work or not. If there is no shrinkage anymore, you can implement any ideas using any existing materials.

And in a newly completed house, it is more rational to choose one of the two solutions below:

1. Leave the ceiling open. It's great if the interior of the room matches this approach. A ceiling that is not tiled with anything can harmoniously blend in and emphasize country or Provence style, for example.

1. Make a stretch ceiling that perfectly closes the ceiling well and does not interfere with the shrinkage of the house.

Output

Any interior decoration (not only timber structures) is a complex undertaking that simultaneously solves several important tasks. Therefore, it must be taken seriously. Only then will the desired coziness, comfort and warmth reign in the house!

And the video posted in this article contains visual information on the topic we have touched upon.

Wood is widely used in residential construction as the main material for walls, ceilings and floors. In our country, chopped huts were widespread everywhere.

The log was replaced by a new material - profiled timber. It is more convenient and technologically advanced in work. Decorating the interior space of a house from a bar is made at the request of its owner and is not mandatory.

The wood itself has an excellent texture and unique properties in the field of decoration. The timber undergoes preliminary and finishing processing on industrial equipment.

After grinding and applying special primers and varnishes, the surface of the material does not need any decorative coatings. However, this does not mean at all that in such houses it is impossible to make finishes to your liking.

A completely natural question arises: how to decorate a house from a bar inside, and what material is better to use? The answer is both simple and difficult. The reason for this is that almost any finishing technology can be used in such houses.

The difficulty lies in the fact that it is necessary to ensure reliable insulation of wood from moisture. Based on this, it is not recommended to use techniques with the application of plaster or putty.

The choice of material for finishing

A profiled bar in cross-section is an almost perfect square, in which the opposite sides are flat, and on the mating surfaces a groove is made on one edge, and a ridge on the other.

These elements are necessary to ensure the tightness of the joints. The right angles of the squares are chamfered along the entire length of the bar. The connection of parts of the same row in the corners of the structure is carried out by means of special inserts.

Smooth sides of the timber, after their qualified laying, form an almost ideal plane. She does not need any preliminary preparation and alignment. So, for example, lining, plastic sheets, MDF panels and drywall can be screwed directly to the timber without a special frame.

Practice shows that even unskilled workers, which, in fact, are the vast majority of homeowners, can do all the work on their own. The internal space of the house is formed by three planes: floor, walls and ceiling.

The finish of each of these surfaces has its own characteristics. Simple observation shows that it is the lower plane that deserves special attention.

Finishing floors

The location of this surface is such that it needs additional hydro and thermal insulation. The construction of a house from a bar provides for the presence of a power set, on which a subfloor is laid from a board or OSB plywood. On this surface, another supporting structure is made and a decorative floor covering is laid.

In expanded form, the work program looks like this:

1. We put a waterproofing material on the surface of the subfloor. It can be: both roofing material and a film polymer membrane;
2. We mount a power set from a rectangular bar of 50 × 100 mm, installed on an edge. This design has a different structure depending on what is supposed to be the topcoat. Under an ordinary board, the timber is installed in parallel with a step of 500 mm, and under plywood - in squares with a side of not more than 500-600 mm;
3. Particular attention should be paid to fastening the power set to the floor; it must be sufficiently reliable and completely exclude the possibility of even minimal movement of elements. Self-tapping screws of the appropriate size are the best means of achieving this;
4. We put insulation in the free space: foam plastic, mineral fiber mats or rolled glass wool;

1. We cover with another layer of a vapor barrier made of a film membrane;
2. We make the flooring of the finishing coating from the material selected in advance.

Useful advice: the best way in a house made of natural wood looks like a plank floor, laid with your own hands and varnished. When laying such a coating, it becomes necessary to create a tight contact between the individual floorboards. It can be achieved through the use of wedge technology.

Ceiling decoration

This surface in timber houses is formed by the supporting floor beams and the boarding between them. Finishing a log house inside the ceilings is mainly reduced to their grinding and opening with special primers and varnishes.

In a bathroom or kitchen, the air humidity is high and the wood flooring needs additional protection. PVC film suspended ceilings will cope with this task in the best way.

The choice of texture and color is determined by the general style of the design of this room. The choice of films for ceilings is huge and allows you to harmoniously fit them into almost any interior.

Advice! Before installing such a ceiling, you should perform waterproofing installation work. A polymer membrane is best suited. It is fixed to the floor using slats and self-tapping screws.

This will prevent condensation from forming on the wooden surface. The cost of this operation is relatively low, but the protection is reliable.

Wall decoration in the house from profiled timber

Given the decorative properties of this material, you can generally leave everything as it is, after thorough grinding and opening with a protective varnish. However, in some rooms with high humidity, ceramic tiles on the walls will not look superfluous.

It cannot be laid on wood, therefore, you must first create a base for it. For these purposes, moisture-resistant drywall is suitable, which can be attached directly to a bar or to a supporting structure made of steel profiles.

There are detailed instructions for working with this material, the repetition of which within the framework of this article is impractical. The second finish with a frame looks more preferable, because it will allow you to secretly place engineering communications.

conclusions

The best way to do this is described in sufficient detail above. The video in this article will help you to visually demonstrate the described processes, which will allow you to get a complete picture of them.

Many people believe that building a house under a roof is an almost finished house. And only those who have faced this issue not for the first time or know the experience of friends and relatives can say that this is not even half of the work until the moment when it will be possible to enter the house. For a comfortable life, you need to carry out communications, install windows, doors, place furniture and decor elements. We will try to understand the intricacies of such a question as the interior decoration of a house from a bar. The construction of houses from profiled or glued beams is now not inferior to the volume of brick housing construction, so this issue will be relevant for many.

Conditionally, the interior decoration can be divided into several large stages that do not depend on the materials used. For a house made of timber, there will be only a few features. This is due to the peculiarities of such log cabins, they have shrinkage and good vapor permeability.

The main stages of finishing a house from a bar inside:

• Equipment of the building with engineering and communication systems (electricity, gas, water supply and sewerage);
• Protection of wooden structures with fire retardant compounds. During the finishing process, they will be hidden behind the finishing finishing materials, and at the end of finishing work you will not be able to access them, so you need to protect them as much as possible to ensure the durability of the wood;
• Preparation of floors, walls and ceilings for finishing materials;
• Installation of windows and doors;
• Finishing of the floor, ceiling and walls inside the house.

Now let's dwell on each stage in more detail.

Conducting communications in the house

It is difficult to imagine a person who would be an expert in all areas of intra-house communications. Trying to wire electricity, water or heating according to the advice from the Internet is very risky. This can lead to additional costs for carrying out these communications again, to unscheduled home repairs.

Expert opinion

Ask an expert

It is better to entrust these complex works to specialists. Part of the communications could have been laid even at the stage of building the building.

Most of the communications are trying to hide behind the finishing elements, so this stage begins immediately after the construction of the building. In addition, the subsequent shrinkage of the house does not interfere with the work with communications.

Protection of rough house structures with antiseptics

Wood is a natural material and is therefore susceptible to mold and insects. Under the finish, you will no longer be able to control these processes, so you need to take care of the protection of the wood. Wood is also a flammable material. Now there are a lot of compounds that provide comprehensive protection of wood from rot, insects, and also increase the ignition temperature of wood (sometimes they even make wood a completely non-combustible material). All of these compounds are harmless to human health after application, as they bind to wood at a chemical level. The main thing is to observe the application technology, the consumption rates of the formulations, as well as the safety precautions for working with them. Wood preservatives are affordable and can be done by anyone on their own without additional training.

Preparation of surfaces for finishing

Preparation of walls, ceiling and floor for finishing is not always required. It all depends on the material chosen for the finishing.

Expert opinion

Sergey Yurievich

Construction of houses, outbuildings, terraces and verandas.

Ask an expert

In the case of building a house from glued or profiled timber, the preparation of walls for finishing (painting) is not required, except when cladding material will be used. In this case, a wooden lathing is installed, which is also pre-treated with an antiseptic. It should be remembered that it is impossible to sheathe the walls of a house from a bar in the first two years of installing a log house (if materials of natural moisture were used during construction).

Preparation of floors for finishing is also not always necessary. Very often, a solid board is used as a floor covering in the house. Preparation for finishing painting of such floors consists in puttying and grinding irregularities. But these works are usually performed immediately before the application of paints and varnishes. In the case of using laminate, parquet, tiles, it is necessary to make a flat, even base. In the case of tiling, the flooring will have to be made of chipboard or fiber cement boards.

Preparation of ceilings for finishing is also rarely needed. Everything will depend on the type of ceiling chosen: with visible beams, with cladding, stretch ceilings, plaster. Only for plastering will you need to patch GKL sheets.

Installation of windows and doors

Working with window or doorways in a house from a bar is a rather complex issue that requires considerable skills. This is again due to the shrinkage of the walls of the house made of timber. Do not fix window frames or door frames to the wall. You need to worry about installing the casing.

There are several options for mounting the casing. The main function is performed by vertical posts. The top and bottom box rails can be made from a regular dry board.

T-shaped casing. In this case, a groove is cut out at the ends of the timber in the openings. The most reliable option would be to use monolithic casing elements, which are made by carpentry workshops.

However, for small openings, a makeshift casing can be used. In the groove cut out at the ends, a bar is laid, to which an ordinary dry board is attached with self-tapping screws.

The U-shaped casing is more difficult to manufacture. In this case, spikes are left at the ends of the timber, on which the deck will be put on. The advantage of this box is its absolute heat and moisture insulation. That is, the access of moisture or wind is completely limited to the ends of the timber. Such casing bars are made only in carpentry workshops by special order and are usually 30% more expensive than T-shaped ones.

Above the upper bar, a gap of at least 7 cm must be left, which is filled with mineral wool, previously wrapped in a vapor barrier film.

When working with doors, the casing can be made of glued, knot-free material. A quarter is immediately made in it for the installation of the door leaf. Such casing boxes are made according to the thickness of the wall; they do not require the installation of slopes and the purchase of additional equipment.
As you can see, installing windows and doors in a house made of timber is not a very simple technology. When ordering a large number of windows and doors, the company may offer you a significant discount on installation. This offer should not be neglected.

Finishing the walls

Painting

Houses built from profiled or glued beams have an aesthetic appearance of the walls from the inside. In this case, only painting should be attributed to finishing. The choice between opaque paints or tinting impregnations is yours. The main thing is to observe the rule: the vapor permeability of wood must not be impeded. To paint the walls inside the house, do not use paints that prevent the wood from breathing. Try to choose a paint and varnish material specifically for interior work. All-purpose impregnations can smell strong and release harmful substances. If we have already built an eco-friendly house, then the paint for it should be harmless to human health.

Sheathing with wooden materials

In the case of using sawn or profiled timber of natural moisture, significant cracks may appear on the walls. In this case, the walls are sheathed with finishing materials. Wooden elements are most suitable, as they do not interfere with the breathing of the house and maintain its microclimate.

If you have chosen a timber for the construction of your house, then a laconic solution for cladding would be to decorate a wooden house with an imitation of a timber. This is a specially milled board equipped with a tenon and a groove for mounting. When assembled, the wall looks identical to the wall of a log house made of laminated veneer lumber. Imitation of a bar has various thicknesses and widths. As mentioned above, a wooden crate is required for installation. Boards are attached to the crate with special clamps. Let us remind you that it is possible to sheathe the walls no earlier than two years after the construction of the log house. After sheathing, the imitation is also covered with paints and varnishes.

In addition to imitation of timber, walls can also be sheathed with clapboard, blockhouse, plank or other wooden elements. Installation of any wooden material is similar to imitation timber cladding.

Wall cladding with sheet materials

Sheathing with sheet materials is used for decorating walls with plaster, wallpaper, and for installing tiles. Usually chipboard or gypsum board is used, less often GVL. For sheet material, aluminum profiles are used as lathing, which are attached to the walls with hangers.

Wall cladding with MDF or PVC panels. These materials are rarely used, but they also require attention. For installation, they do not differ from wood sheathing. The panels are also equipped with a tenon and a groove, can be attached to the crate with self-tapping screws or clamps. The disadvantage of this cladding option is their vapor permeability, which disrupts the natural circulation of air and moisture.

Finishing of floors

Painting. In the case of using a solid board as a finishing flooring, only coating with paints and varnishes is required. Usually, varnishes are used on an alkyd-urethane or acrylic-urethane base. Each of them has a number of advantages: alkyd - more wear-resistant, acrylic - do not smell when applied, but have less abrasion resistance. It should be noted that slatted floors are an excellent base for laminate, parquet or linoleum.

Linoleum, laminate, parquet board. A perfectly flat base made of plywood or chipboard should be prepared for these materials. Installation is carried out in accordance with the technology for each of the materials.

Finishing of ceilings

Painting. Ceiling beams and filing are often used as trimmings. Often the owners want the house to look like it used to be, so the ceiling beams are not hemmed from below. They are simply polished or artificially aged and then coated with paints and varnishes.

Wood paneling. As in the case of walls, imitation timber is often used for decoration. A ceiling made of such a material will fit very well into the interior, even if only painting was used to decorate the walls. Other wood materials can also be used. Separately, it is worth noting a slatted wooden ceiling, when boards or slats are sewn with a gap. Ceiling sticks serve as crate, which are already set in level and ideal plane.

On the modern market there are a lot of materials for interior decoration. Each of them has its own installation technology, but, in fact, any material can be assembled by hand. The main thing is not to deviate from the technology proposed by the manufacturer.

How is the internal processing of the walls of the log house, the sequence of work and how the internal decoration of the house is carried out after shrinkage.

Interior decoration of a house from a bar is a continuation of construction work on the assembly of the structure, which should be completed by this stage. This is a very responsible process, because it is on it that the mission is entrusted to give the living space comfort and coziness in accordance with the given design. In our article you will find useful information on this topic and find out where to start the upcoming renovation.

Finishing the floor, walls and ceiling in a log house made of glued or profiled timber is done by hand in several stages:

1. laying of communication lines (electric cable, pipeline, heating system, sewerage, air conditioning);
2. impregnation of wood with antiseptic agents to protect it from fire, insects, mold and fungi;
3. installation of heat and waterproofing material;
4. preparation of walls, floors and ceilings for finishing;
5. installation of interior doors;
6. finishing cladding of the floor, walls and ceiling.

Without certain skills and the necessary knowledge for the renovation of premises, it is better to turn to professionals for help, especially when it comes to communications. If you are confident in your abilities and do not want to overpay, you can safely do the work with your own hands. It is advisable to decide on the design and think over every detail of the interior before starting. Such a measure will help you have an idea of ​​the future result and calculate the required amount of material intended for these purposes.

Features of interior decoration

Decorating a log house is carried out with the same materials as in houses made of brick or any other building material, but, despite this, there are a number of features that must be taken into account in the process of decorating walls and other objects:

• the inevitability of the primary shrinkage of houses made of profiled timber, which is more significant than in other buildings. In this case, you may need at least two, and a maximum of six years of waiting before you can start finishing;
• secondary shrinkage, not exceeding 1% of the floor height, is therefore practically not perceptible.

In the first case, the shrinkage of the timber and a decrease in its volumes are to blame, in the process of which the gaps between the logs are narrowed due to the constantly acting load. When the shrinkage of a house made of profiled beams is completed, you can find a decrease in the floor height by 2 - 3 cm (in houses made of glued beams, this figure can be 1-2 cm, check with the manufacturer).

Such deformation negatively affects the finish, as a result of which the plaster is covered with cracks, and the tile falls off the walls. To avoid a long wait, it is better to build a box of a wooden house from glued beams, and then shrinkage will last no more than 12 months. Secondary shrinkage is provoked by temperature changes and wood moisture, but it does not affect decorative facing materials.

Floor device

Before laying the flooring, you need to raise the level of the subfloor with a heat and waterproof layer, which is covered with boards.

This simple and uncomplicated design perfectly retains heat and absorbs third-party noise.

As a final finish for the floor, the most often chosen are:

1. Planed sheet pile timber. This is an environmentally friendly board that is not afraid of moisture, and its structure allows the floor to "breathe". It is durable, long-lasting and easy to maintain. There is a wide selection of its colors and textures on sale. Over time, the tongue-and-groove boards can be putty and sanded to give the flooring a fresh look. Such material is not suitable for those who plan to install underfloor heating, since here all the heat will be spent on heating the sheet pile.
2. Laminate or parquet board. In this case, there are no obstacles for the installation of a "warm floor". When choosing a coating with high thermal conductivity, look for the corresponding markings on its packaging. Experts advise, on the other hand, to lay a floor of wood from the inside of a wooden house.

After laying the finishing material, plinths are installed, which will hide the technological opening with insulation between the wall and the floor. Before nailing the skirting board, the peeping insulation must be cut off, if any. To exclude the appearance of a sound bridge, the plinth must be fixed either to the floor or to the wall. Otherwise, you may encounter extraneous noise, especially if the "floating floor" technology has not been performed.

When choosing a log house, the developer, first of all, is guided by the affordability of the price and the short installation time. But the next most important issue is the environmental friendliness of the material. And if we talk about the construction of country houses, then it is this factor that becomes decisive. Recently, the industry of ready-made wooden cottages has emerged into an absolutely independent direction called "eco-style". Naturally, the main task of finishing work in a wooden house is to preserve the beauty and purity that nature so generously shares with us. For this, it is necessary to exclude the use of materials with synthetic and polymer components, which can negate all the favorable properties of wood. Nothing should disturb the natural air exchange and healthy microclimate, which is created in the house thanks to the tree.

A traditional design solution for interior decoration of houses from a bar can be called the usual application of antiseptics, varnishes or primers on the surface of the bar. Impregnations based on natural oils and waxes have recently become very popular. They not only reliably protect the wood from ultraviolet radiation, from the appearance of fungi, mold, but also give the surface characteristic shades.

Also, water-based paints are widely used for interior decoration of log houses. With their help, surfaces of any color are obtained, while maintaining the natural texture of wood. It is not recommended to use vinyl wallpaper, plastic lining, linoleum and everything else that can worsen the natural properties of the timber.
