Finishing wooden houses various materials
Work technologies
We use various technologies for finishing wooden buildings:
- installation of ventilation facades;
- brick cladding;
- paneling;
- painting.
Ventilated facade
Craftsmen install the suspended ventilated façade on a wooden sheathing. The gap between the main wall and the cladding material is filled 3/4 with mineral wool. The remaining quarter is left free to create a ventilated area, which prevents moisture from accumulating under the sheathing.
We produce wooden ventilated facades to order. Our engineers will develop a set of drawings in full accordance with your requirements and dimensions of the house.
Installation of wooden facades
Ventilated systems are best solutions in the decoration of facades. They are resistant to changes temperature conditions, high thermal insulation and soundproof properties. We install such systems for new and renovated houses.
Plastering facades
Craftsmen also finish wooden facades using ordinary plaster. To apply it efficiently, you need to use a reinforcing mesh or put wooden slats on the walls. This will prevent the plaster from cracking.
Execution of work
For such work, acrylic plasters are used. They are waterproof and resistant to mechanical damage. In addition, there is big choice color solutions. Mineral plaster is stronger and more durable. But this material is suitable for creating light-colored facades.
Applying paint or varnish
This is a classic. Masters process wooden bases protective compounds. First of all, pre-paint the joints, edges of boards and other hard-to-reach places with a narrow beveled brush. After this, they begin painting the main part of the facade. Craftsmen perform this work with rollers and wide brushes.
Painting wooden houses and cottages
All painting work is carried out from top to bottom. At the same time, streaks are not left on the surfaces and there are no missing areas.
Cladding the house with bricks and panels
Brick finishing is carried out after shrinking and drying of the wooden house. This cladding is resistant to mechanical and atmospheric influences. In addition, it is possible to solve the problem of all wooden buildings - fire safety.
But the big disadvantages of brick cladding are its high weight, high cost and labor-intensive finishing. We offer faster, cheaper and more versatile options: installation of siding, installation of thermal panels. Our craftsmen quickly install these facing materials on wooden facades.

A log house, cozy and beautiful, with its unique smell, is the dream of many, but only wealthy people can afford it. Wooden facades are a worthy alternative to such a house. Their appearance, durability and practicality largely depend on the choice of cladding material.
Facade cladding with shingles
To cover the facade with wood, many people choose shingles - thin wooden planks, shaped like clay tiles.
Of all the variety of this material (shindle, ploughshare, shingle), only the shindle is ideal for façade cladding. This will be discussed further.
There is a split and sawn spindle. Split is more expensive because, firstly, it is made exclusively by hand, and secondly, due to the fact that the spindle is divided along the wood fibers, it has exceptional mechanical strength. But, nevertheless, this material is mostly used for roofing.
To obtain an even and beautiful facade A sawn spindle is needed from wood. It is made from: larch, oak, pine, spruce. There are shingles with radial and tangential sawing. The mechanical processing method greatly reduces the cost of production and allows you to obtain a board of any size and shape.

The figure above shows the boundaries of the applicable sizes and the most popular shingle configurations. But, unfortunately, after such treatment, the tree greatly loses its moisture resistance and strength characteristics.
Choosing a spindle
When purchasing an imported spindle, pay attention to the markings of this facing material.
- 1st grade is marked with a blue label.
- Grade 2 is marked with a red label.
Radially cut shingles have better strength characteristics, but tangentially cut material manages to convey all the beauty of the wood texture. In terms of price-quality ratio, larch tiles are the leader. The manufacturer claims that it does not require any additional processing other than cutting.

Advantages of spindle facades
A hinged wooden shingle facade has a lot of advantages. It is perfect for harsh climates: low temperatures, a lot of precipitation, sudden temperature changes - the spindle will perfectly withstand all these unfavorable conditions. The technological gap between the shingles and the insulation prevents condensation from accumulating and improves the thermal and sound insulation characteristics of the building.
Cladding with planken (facade board)
Planken is wooden plank with ends machined to length. It is used to make wooden facades with a ventilation gap. The board is produced in widths of 7-14 cm and thicknesses of 1.5 and 2 cm.
When installing all the profiles shown in the figures above, technological gaps are left for ventilation, but only the oblique plank, due to the shape of its section, covers them. Such wooden facades give the house a noble appearance and reliably protect the walls from bad weather.
With the hidden installation method, the facade boards are fastened together with metal fasteners. So, for a “rectangular” profile, use a “key” and “snake” fastening. It is recommended to fasten the profile with grooves with a “crab” and a “bridge”. Well, the oblique plank is held on the sheathing with the help of a “snake”.
The open installation method is simple and unpretentious - the boards are screwed to the sheathing with galvanized screws.
Choosing planken
Each of the types of wood used to make planken has its own advantages and disadvantages.
- Larch does not rot and is not inferior in strength to oak, but it can become resinous and has high parameters for drying out and cracking.
- Pine is a softwood tree, not textured; AB grade pine is most often used for making facade boards. A serious disadvantage is that knots may fall out during heat treatment. What's the plus? Significant is the affordable price.
- Ash, oak, cedar are high-strength, hygroscopic and durable wood. The only drawback is the high price.
useful in work
Please note that oak must be regularly treated with an anti-fungal compound.
Installation of planken facade
Let's talk about installing an oblique plank. Of the profiles used, this is the most popular.
- We lay out the boards on the ground for a test assembly. The dimensions of the board we assembled from plankens should be equal to the height of the facade. Don't forget to leave ventilation gaps (2 - 10 mm) between the boards.
- We mark on the boards where the “snakes” will be screwed on (in the places where the sheathing goes). An example is shown in the figure.
- We screw a “snake” to each plank so that the fastening extends 1-2 cm beyond the edges of the board.
- We drive the lower protruding edge of the “snake” into the gap between the vertical beam of the sheathing and the bottom board. This moment is shown in the figure. We fasten the upper edge of the “snake” with a self-tapping screw to the sheathing beam.
Advantages of planken facades
All the advantages of such a facade are, one way or another, related to ventilation gaps. Wood, like any material, expands when heated and returns to its original size when cooled. The gaps compensate for temperature movements and prevent the facade from deforming and warping. In addition, the planken façade does not swell due to moisture getting into the groove. If one of the boards is damaged, it can be easily replaced without resorting to large-scale dismantling. When building houses, palanquin cladding is often used, because such a building looks beautiful and status.
Façade cladding with Block House
Block House (BH) is a type of lining that imitates a rounded planed log. Sometimes this material is also called wood siding. It is made from spruce, larch, pine, cedar, aspen, and birch wood.
How do you get BH? A beam is cut out of the central part of the log, and the edges go to the drywall. Like regular lining, the ends of the BH are processed for a “groove-tenon” connection. There are cutouts along the inner flat part of the BC. Adjacent to a flat surface, they form channels (warping grooves) through which the façade is ventilated. In addition, they relieve tension in the wood and increase its heat-saving ability. In Figure 5 you can see the BH in cross-section.
Choosing Block House
How to choose a quality BH? According to the European standard, it is produced in three grades: A, B, C (A is premium). The parameters that determine which grade a product is classified into are: the number and color of knots, cracks, chips, wormholes, coloring and much more.
For cladding large areas, AB grade AB pine is used, where the price-quality ratio is optimal. BH is available in standard lengths - 3 and 6 meters, and six-meter ones (at a price per meter) will cost more. Its width:
- for external work 40 - 45 mm;
- For interior work 20 - 25 mm;
Advice from the “façade designer”
When purchasing, pay attention to what width is indicated on the label - general (with a spike) or working (without a spike). The amount of BH that you will need for cladding the facade is calculated by the working width.
Advantages of Block House
BH is an environmentally friendly and strong material, it looks aesthetically pleasing (the house cannot be distinguished from a real wooden frame). If wooden siding has undergone special treatment, then the service life of such a facade will be about 70-80 years. But this facing material also has disadvantages. The low vapor permeability of this material can lead to condensation forming between the walls of such houses and the dry storage room. BH requires painting once every 1-2 years, otherwise moisture will penetrate into the tongue-and-groove joint, and the wood will swell and crack.
Installation of a facade from a Block House
Cladding houses with Block House is somewhat reminiscent of installing a roof - the same principle of a multi-layer cake:
- We attach a vapor barrier (membrane films, polyethylene) to the wall of the house. We make the sheathing from treated with an antiseptic and fire-resistant composition wooden beam. The spacing of the sheathing should approximately correspond to the width of the insulation slabs.
- We lay thermal insulation boards. We fasten them with dowels.
- We cover the insulation with waterproofing and fasten it to the beam with a stapler.
- We make a leveling sheathing from 50x50 mm timber.
- We begin installation of the BH. At the same time, we install each board with the tenon facing up so that no water gets into the groove.
- We fasten the siding with self-tapping screws to the sheathing, and we do this as close as possible to the tenon, so that the upper block house covers the attachment points of the lower one.
In addition to this material.
Step-by-step installation of a ventilated facade of wooden houses
In order for the design of the façade system to fully meet the requirements of reliability and durability, and also to perform its functions well, during its installation it is necessary to observe a number of specific rules.
- Traditionally, 150x150 mm timber is used for the construction of wooden residential buildings, and in order to maintain a comfortable air temperature in the rooms during winter cold, additional means of thermal insulation should be taken care of. Mineral wool material about 10 cm thick is used as insulation. It is attached to wooden floors using special dowels.
- Before you begin installing the thermal insulation layer of the façade structure, you should install the profile sheathing on the load-bearing walls of the building - this will be the frame for the finishing material. Mineral wool insulation is subsequently installed in its niches.
- The next step after installing the sheathing and thermal insulation layer is fixing the film, which serves as a membrane that protects from wind and moisture. The insulation will be waterproofed from the outside, and moisture evaporation from the walls of the house will be removed without hindrance.
- The final step in arranging a wooden ventilated facade is cladding. It is also advisable to use wood materials for finishing; a block house is most often used. The choice of finishing quality is determined by its cost, performance characteristics and appearance. Natural wood will not disturb the harmony of the entire construction project.
Facing material is attached mechanically(using self-tapping screws, clamps or other means) taking into account the thickness of the gap for ventilation.
The main functions of external finishing are decorative and protective. At the same time as the attractiveness of the house's exterior, the layers of the façade will be protected from adverse weather conditions.
Moisture evaporating from wood load-bearing walls, accumulating from the inside on the surface of the facing material, can be freely removed thanks to the existing ventilation system: air flows moving between the thermal insulation layer and the finish will remove condensation and excess moisture. Thus, the insulation will not get wet and will retain its thermal insulation properties for a long time.

Installation of a mounted wooden facade using planken as an example
What types of wooden ventilated facades are there?
Types of façade system designs
Ventilated facades made of wood are divided into two types, different in structure and function.
1. A complete ventilation system with insulation.
The main objectives of such a system are not only to protect the building from weather conditions and maintain conditions of favorable moisture permeability, but also to increase the level of thermal insulation properties of the building. The use of this type of ventilated facade is common in areas with harsh climates, where the period of cold weather significantly exceeds the duration of the warm season.
2. Lightweight ventilation system.
A feature of this type of wooden ventilated facade is the absence of a thermal insulation layer, and therefore the main function of the structure is to control the level of humidity in the building. The use of a lightweight ventilated system is justified in southern regions with a mild climate where above-zero air temperatures prevail, therefore there is no point in insulating the building.
The design of a lightweight ventilated façade only requires the presence of a thin frame system without extensions and finishing material. Various materials can be used as cladding: Block House, siding, lining. Installation of the system is simple; even an inexperienced builder can handle it.
Types of wooden finishing of ventilated facades
In addition to the previously mentioned materials, other types of wood can be used for facade cladding.
- Thermowood is lightweight lumber (almost half the weight of untreated wood), characterized by ease of processing, reliability, and practicality. Thermowood finishing improves the appearance of the building thanks to its attractive decor.
- Larch boards (block house, lining) perform best in areas with increased level humidity, since larch does not rot.
- Exotic heavy woods. Due to its properties, they are applicable for strengthening the frame of the façade system and increasing the reliability of fasteners. High price finishing materials made from exotic woods is compensated by unique decorative properties.
Installation of a wooden ventilated facade is not so difficult to perform if you follow its steps and take into account all the nuances. The result of the work will be a comfortable and reliable home, which will serve its owners for decades.
Our company carries out cladding of the facade of a wooden house. The cost of finishing is calculated at 250 rubles/m2. From us you can order the installation of all types of ventilated systems, facade panels and brick cladding. Our company is responsible for the quality of work and provides a three-year work guarantee. In this article, we invite you to familiarize yourself with several technologies for finishing the walls of wooden houses.
Recently, wooden houses have become very popular. This is not at all surprising, since this is practically the only option for environmentally friendly housing. It is worth noting that due to the increase in demand for wooden houses, materials for their cladding have also become in demand. When choosing this or that material, you should first decide on their purpose and what the finishing functions will be.
What type of finishing does the facade of a wooden house have?
The main task of cladding a wooden house is to increase the service life of the building without overhaul. There are several types of facade functions:
- Decorative function that the facades of wooden houses have. Is one of the main factors when choosing building materials. Since most people want their building to look neat and beautiful, various types of cladding for a wooden house have been created to help them.
- Protective function. The finishing of the facade of a wooden house should protect the walls from rodents, insects and rot. This is especially true for houses made of wood, since their material is a bait for small rodents. In addition, weather conditions can negatively affect the condition of the tree; changes in temperature and humidity can lead to rotting of the tree. And prolonged accumulation of moisture will lead to the walls of the house beginning to collapse. Exterior decoration the facade of a wooden house will provide protection against this. For example, there are a number of special antiseptics that are used to treat wood before use. They need to be used at certain intervals.
Lined wooden structures are easy to clean; they can be wiped with a damp cloth. In addition, to the advantages of finishing the facades of buildings it is worth adding an excellent level of noise, sound and heat insulation. Your cottage will remain warm in winter and cool in summer.
Modern building materials for facade finishing have non-flammable properties, which will protect you from fire.
What materials are used for façade cladding?
The most popular are:
- facades finished with plaster;
- house facade, finished brick;
- facade, finished clinker heating panel;
- facade, finished block house;
- facade, finished siding.
We will tell you about the pros and cons of each cladding material.
Cladding a house with plaster
Plaster is not very suitable for wooden houses; you should resort to it only if no other method can be used. It is impossible to lay plaster directly on the beams - it will crumble. Therefore, first, the walls are sheathed, that is, waterproofing is laid, slats are stuffed onto it, or ready-made sheathing is installed.
The plaster can be ordinary, or it can have a sand-cement mixture. For example, if you want to achieve light color We recommend paying attention to mineral plaster. It is made from plasticizing materials. Acrylic plaster allows air to pass through well, holds well and has a rich palette of shades. However, acrylic plaster does not have as long a service life as mineral plaster. If you want to add originality to your house facade, use plaster with crumbs of various minerals.
This type of house cladding is available to almost everyone due to its low cost. A variety of colors, shades and textures allow you to experiment, bringing the most daring ideas to the façade.
The disadvantages of finishing a wooden house with cladding are changes in the appearance of the wooden house, labor intensity and the need for painting.
Cladding a house with bricks
Facing brick, unlike ordinary brick, has clear geometric shapes and is distinguished by clear, right angles and edges. When installed, the front side must be free of defects.
How to cladding the facade of a wooden house
The process of cladding the facade of the house should begin only after the house has completely settled. Since wood is a material that requires ventilation, the cladding must be installed at a distance of 5 cm from the wall. If you have chosen brick as the material, you should attach it to the wall using clamps.
It is worth noting that facing brick must be installed with special attention, because any inaccuracy will be visible and will spoil the impression of the house. In addition, the work of brick finishing affects the mass of the walls, which puts an even greater load on the foundation. If the building is not initially built with brick cladding in mind, it is better to choose another method. The advantages include fire resistance and a high level of thermal insulation.
Despite the many advantages of finishing any wooden house, there are also several disadvantages. Firstly, the facade of a wooden house will look different. Now, at first glance it will not be clear what this is wooden house. Secondly, the mass of the walls and the pressure on the foundation increases.
Cladding with clinker thermal panels
Clinker thermal panels are polyurethane foam with glued clinker panels. The use of this material will solve two problems at once - thermal insulation.
Such panels have high level vapor permeability, increase heat and waterproofing, are lightweight, tolerate changes in temperature and humidity, are fireproof and are not affected by various acids and alkalis. In addition, such panels can be installed independently. A wide range of colors can be a plus.
Facing Block House
Block house is a special material widely used in finishing the facade of a wooden house. It is ideal if you want to maintain the appearance of your home. This material is an imitation of a cylindrical log, although inner side perfectly smooth. The block house is installed using a special tongue-and-groove system, which is located at the end of the panels.
These are panels from natural wood, coated with a special antiseptic against rotting and insects. In addition, the advantage of this material is that installation is essentially simple.
The disadvantages include the high price; after a while, the panels need to be reinstalled.
Facing a house with siding
Siding consists of panels made of polyvinyl chloride (vinyl). The thickness of this material is approximately 1-1.3 mm. For those wishing to save a little money at the finishing stage, this material is suitable. It does not have much mass, so it does not put pressure on the foundation; the speed of installation justifies all the disadvantages.
Domestic siding will cost you much less than its foreign counterpart, although they specifications approximately equal.
A wide range of color range will allow everyone to choose a color to their taste. The siding is simple and convenient to use and is easy to clean from dust and dirt.
There are several types of cladding for the facades of wooden houses:
- vertical;
- horizontal.
Vertical method. You can use tile and plaster together. This method is good if you intend to decorate the facade of the house with contrasting shades. For example, the corners of a building can be tiled, and the walls of houses can be plastered. Stone tiles and siding also look good. As in the previous example, the corners are tiled, and the walls are decorated with siding in a contrasting color.
Horizontal decoration of the facade of the house
The name speaks for itself - the material is laid out horizontally on the facade of a wooden house. For example, the base can be made darker and the walls lighter. The lower part can also be lined with stone.
An excellent option for finishing the facade is a combination of tiles and wood. The lower facades of houses should be lined with stone or brickwork(so that there is no heavy load on the foundation, choose decorative rock). The facade can be laid out with clapboard or block house.
