Gradually, various synthetic finishing materials, such as wallpaper or plastic, are fading into the background. Natural, environmentally friendly products are coming back into fashion clean materials. Wooden lining is just one of them. Since wood fades over time and is exposed to various types of exposure, owners of houses and apartments often have questions about how to paint the lining inside the house. The lining is suitable for both external and interior decoration. But how is it used correctly? interior spaces.

Many people believe that since there is no rain, snow, or wind inside the house, there is no need to paint the paneling indoors.

But this is a misconception. So, why do you need to paint the lining:

  1. It should be remembered that the lining is made of wood. And wood catches fire easily. Naturally, no protective material will provide absolute protection against fire. But there are compounds that significantly increase fire resistance.
  2. Over time, the tree begins to rot. To avoid this, it needs to be covered special composition- antiseptic. It is colorless, so the original wood texture will be perfectly preserved.
  3. The paint and varnish coating serves to protect against mechanical damage, taking on all impacts and scratches, preserving the beauty of the walls.
  4. The paint and varnish coating protects the wood from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, thereby protecting it from darkening.
  5. Just for beauty. If you do not want to change the natural wood color, applying a special varnish will make the wall covering brighter and shiny. Or vice versa, many paints completely hide the original wood color, preserving only the structure of the wood.

Selection of necessary components

What is the best way to paint the lining inside the house?

All paints and varnishes are divided into two main groups: protective and decorative. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Protective compounds

  • WITH substances that are absorbed into wood and increase its resistance to fire. Recommended for use when treating interior residential premises. Thanks to the treatment, the wood will not catch fire for much longer, which will either eliminate the source of the fire faster or give the residents time to leave the premises.

  • Used to impregnate wood. Oil-impregnated lining is insensitive to moisture and fungus, and also acquires a matte tint and a clearly defined structure.

  • Drying oil.

  • Previously, it was actively used when working with lining, but today it is rapidly losing ground. Refusal to use it when impregnating walls is due to the fact that it darkens quite quickly and begins to stick. Bleaches. Used to remove from the surface of the lining various defects. For example: stripes,

  • dark spots

  • , bluish tints. Depending on the purpose and method of use, these substances come in several types. Most of them are applied to the material at the site of the defect, left for a while, and then washed off with water. Primer. Provides protection for wood from mechanical influences and creates reliable adhesion of the decorative layer to the treated surface. Wax compounds. Traditional and very effective protective agent. Wax creates a dense layer on the surface of the wood that does not allow moisture to pass through and is resistant to

mechanical stress

. It is very difficult to apply evenly. Typically a primer is applied before waxing to make the process easier.

This division is very arbitrary. As already mentioned, many of these products are used separately, without a decorative coating. But their main function is to protect the wood, and giving shade and expressiveness to the structure is a secondary point. Decorative products Painting

wooden lining

  • recommended in warm weather dries quickly and has no pungent odor, which makes it possible to carry out work at any time convenient for you. This paint for lining does not fade for a long time, maintaining its original shine, and has good resistance to moisture. The only downside is the high price.

  • Acrylic scuba tanks- are generally agreed to be the best remedy for processing lining. They are an environmentally friendly product. The varnish forms a reliable decorative coating that is durable, resistant to moisture and mechanical stress.

  • Alkyd varnishes - painting the lining is the main function of this type of material. Its advantages are resistance to moisture and temperature changes. Significant disadvantages are long drying time, easy flammability, high price.

  • Decorative glaze– thanks to its transparency, it perfectly highlights the wood texture. To give it the desired color, you can add different colors inside.

  • Opaque enamels– creates a dense layer on the wood surface, completely hiding all defects and protecting the product from mechanical damage, well suited for country houses.

When choosing what to paint the lining with, you need to keep these points in mind:

  1. Oil paint dries quickly, but becomes lighter over time. Therefore, when choosing which paint to paint, dark or light, it is better to choose the first option.
  2. Painting lining inside a house is a painstaking task. The best decorative coatings to use are water-based paint. This is 100% environmentally friendly product. You can work with it at any time of the year.
  3. How to paint the lining inside a country house? It is best to choose alkyd varnish. It is durable, resistant to moisture, mold and mildew.
  4. Eurolining can be painted with transparent polyurethane varnish. It emphasizes the texture and “naturalness” of wood.
  5. Another one good paint for lining – acrylic. It does not change its color for a long time.
  6. How to paint a clapboard ceiling? Do not use paint on water based. It is better to opt for alkyd varnish or choose oil paint. These products do not spread and dry quickly. You can paint the ceiling without any problems.

Carrying out work

Having reviewed the options for painting the lining and choosing the method that suits you, as well as all necessary materials, you can start working. Here's a list of what you'll need:

  • gloves;
  • ladder;
  • buckets;
  • sandpaper;
  • brushes of different widths, for painting walls, ceilings, floors and gaps;
  • comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind;
  • removal solution paint coating if the surface was painted;
  • metal brush;
  • tray;
  • the paint materials you have chosen.

How to paint lining inside a house? Actually, the process of applying paint and varnish is conventionally divided into two stages: preparation and painting itself. Let's look at the whole process using the example of how lining is painted white.

Preparing for painting

How is the lining prepared for painting? First of all, you need to clean it of dirt. This is done using ordinary water with soda diluted in it. If the surface has already been painted, then old layer paint must be removed using what is on hand painting tool. Repair faulty panels (if any).

After this, they move on to the next step - grinding.

In this case, it is best to use pumice or sandpaper. It is advisable to divide the entire area being processed from the inside into small sectors and sequentially grind them one after another. This way you won't lose sight of any unprocessed segment. You need to sand evenly.

After sanding, they begin priming the coloring material. The debris remaining after grinding is removed from the surface. Then, using a brush, apply a layer of primer, paying particular attention to the seams.

Painting

So, we are close to answering the question of how to paint the lining white.

Having completed all the preparatory procedures, you can proceed directly to painting. How to paint lining?

You will need paint for the interior of the house and at least two brushes: a large one for the main work, and a narrow one for the gaps. The material is applied in several thin layers. The paint is applied first to the upper edge so as not to stain the already painted area with smudges. After the first layer has dried, the second is applied. This is followed by the third layer, which is also, as a rule, the last. Last layer should be the thinnest. It is applied with light, even movements. Then the paint is left to dry - the job is done.

How to cover a wooden surface (2 videos)


Lining is an excellent finishing material, especially for a private home or cottage. It can be used to cover walls, ceilings, slopes, doors, balconies, etc. This material has excellent thermal insulation performance, beautiful appearance, and most importantly - it is environmentally friendly. The main disadvantage is fragility due to susceptibility to rotting and fungal formation.

To extend the life of the lining, it must be protected by applying an additional protective layer to its surface. It is important to decide how to cover the lining indoors so that it becomes reliable and has a beautiful appearance.

But is it necessary to cover the lining with paints and varnishes indoors, where it is not in danger aggressive environment in the form of precipitation and temperature changes? The fact is that, albeit to a lesser extent, there is still moisture in the room, and the influence of temperature also acts. All these factors are especially pronounced in country houses who remain without heating in winter period.

Materials for finishing lining

The finishing material must perform two main functions - decorative and protective. Exist following materials, which can be used to cover the lining.

Lining without coating

Any coating to one degree or another contains harmful chemical components. Because, to keep your home environmentally friendly, it is not covered with any additional means. The wood itself has beautiful colour and texture. In addition, this way you can save on purchasing paints and varnishes.

However, in order for the lining not to darken and to serve for a long time, it still needs to be protected with additional substances. Here you need to make a choice between durability and environmental friendliness.

Oil paint coating

Most simple, easily accessible and widespread method of finishing lining. It is not difficult to buy a brush and oil paint of any color and paint the lining. What kind of paint to use depends on the wishes of the owner of the house.

Advantages:

Flaws:

Painting with water-based acrylic composition

This type of coating considered a compromise between aesthetics and protective properties. Acrylic paint consists of a clear varnish and a tinting mixture. After double processing, the lining acquires desired color, the texture is preserved and all protective properties are fulfilled.

Positive sides:

  • beautiful appearance;
  • high protective properties;
  • environmental friendliness;
  • versatility.

Negative:

  • high price;
  • a labor-intensive process of preparing material for painting.

Coating with acrylate paint

Acrylate paint is more decorative material than protective. It has a number of advantages over oil paint, but its cost is higher.

  • durability;
  • resistance to temperature influences;
  • dye does not crack or swell;
  • beautiful appearance;
  • protective properties are weak;
  • high price.

Processing with decorative azure

Decorative azure is effective protection wood from external influence. It gives the necessary color to the material and at the same time the wood texture stands out clearly.

Advantages:

  • moisture resistance;
  • heat resistance;
  • beautiful appearance;
  • environmental friendliness;
  • vapor permeability.

The only disadvantages include material cost. She's taller than Oil paint, but the technical and physical indicators are much better.

Opaque enamel coating

Enamel components are practically do not differ from the components of oil paint, the whole difference is in proportions. Enamel has significantly more film-forming substance and less filler. To ensure an opaque layer of coating, triple application of enamel is performed.

Advantages:

  • coating strength is higher than paint;
  • higher hardness;
  • better elasticity;
  • abrasion resistance;
  • more pleasant appearance due to the greater shine of the material.

The cost is correspondingly higher than oil paint.

Treatment with acrylic aqualac

Aqualak is water-soluble acrylic latex with additives, performing a stabilizing function. When dry, the varnish forms a glossy, silky, very durable surface. It performs more protective functions, but emphasizes natural beauty wood, giving it shine.

  • saved appearance of the lining;
  • fire resistance;
  • moisture resistance;
  • good adhesion;
  • durability;
  • economical consumption;
  • simplicity applications.

Negative sides:

  • high price;
  • requirements for temperature and humidity in the room during work.

Alkyd varnish coating

The binder for alkyd varnish is alkyd resin, which made from wood or linseed oil. Such material is able to penetrate deeply into the wood.

Positive sides:

  • good expression of the texture of the material;
  • strength;
  • moisture resistance;
  • perfect adhesion.
  • complex requirements for the indoor microclimate during work;
  • long process of drying the material;
  • requirements for the thickness of the varnish layer.

Processing lining with stain

Water based stain has no protective functions, but is performed only as decoration. An alcohol or solvent based stain protects the wood. This material gives the lining any shade.

Advantages:

  • environmental friendliness;
  • beautiful appearance;
  • no odor;
  • moisture resistance;
  • ease of work;
  • low cost.

Flaws:

  • water-based stain lifts fibers;
  • not alcohol based dries too quickly, and stains may form.

Bleach treatment

Wood bleaching is carried out using active chlorine. Thanks to this tool you can hide lining defects and give the material a noble white tint.

  • hides wood imperfections;
  • beautiful appearance;
  • durability.
  • low protective properties;
  • probability destruction of the top layer linings.

Bactericidal treatment

Bactericidal treatment is required to protect the lining from mold, mildew, rot and various bacteria. This antiseptic has potent chemical substances. Therefore, the question arises: what is the best way to cover the lining indoors for bactericidal protection. For this purpose there are special mixtures for interior work. An antiseptic can also decorative role using an antiseptic stain.

Advantages:

  • high degree of material protection;
  • perform an additional decorative function;

Flaws:

  • harmful substances are released;
  • the need for pre-treatment.

Having experienced all the advantages of natural wood, many no longer want to give it up. Moreover, many have already had their fill of plastic and wallpaper, and naturalness is coming back into fashion.

The choice of paint for lining must be approached very carefully, since an incorrectly thought-out solution can ruin the entire appearance of this material.

Therefore, it is not surprising that wooden lining is in price category above average, but at the same time, almost everyone can afford this material, since the price directly depends on the type of wood from which the lining is made. And if you are just going to cover the walls or your walls are already covered with clapboard, then the question will still arise about how to paint the clapboard inside the house.

You can decorate walls with clapboard both outside and inside. But most craftsmen and designers prefer wood as a material for interior decoration. Decorating the façade with wood is possible, but it’s still a street, there’s snow, rain, wind, frost, and high humidity do not have the best effect on the tree.

Why is it so necessary to paint the lining inside the house, since there will be no rain, no snow, no fog, or any other negative factors? Yes, there are cases when the lining is not covered and left in its original form. Yes, natural wood It has its own individual design, color and texture, it looks beautiful and stylish in any room, but finishing is still necessary.

Reasons why you need to paint the lining

  1. Lining is sheets of wood, and wood is a flammable material. Of course, no coating will provide 100% fire protection, but there are special protective compounds(fire retardants), which significantly increase the protection of the material from fire.
  2. All natural materials begin to rot over time. This natural process. But it can also be stopped if it is coated with a special compound. These are antiseptics. The lining does not need to be painted, but it must be coated with an antiseptic.
  3. A special coating serves as protection against mechanical damage, scratches and cracks. Located in a durable layer on the wood, it takes the entire blow and at the same time prevents cracks from forming.
  4. In the sun, the tree does not lighten; on the contrary, it darkens. That's why protective coatings protect from exposure to the sun's rays, thereby preserving the natural color of the wood.
  5. Aesthetic appeal. With the help of colorless varnishes, you can give the wood only shine or tint it a little. There are also paints that completely hide the original color underneath, preserving only the structure of the wood.

Materials for painting lining

In order for the lining to shine and its color to be uniform, it is necessary to thoroughly stir the paint before starting work.

What material is best to paint the lining of the inside of the house? There is no definite answer, since the choice of material depends on what you want to achieve. If you only need to protect the coating from insects, rodents, fungi, mold and rot, then an antiseptic will be enough. If you want to add shine, then wood varnish is necessary. If you add color, then it becomes decorative coatings.

Currently in construction stores presented a wide range of various coatings and impregnations for wood. Conventionally, they can be divided into two types: for protection and for decoration.

Protective coatings

Fire retardants protect wood materials from fire. However, a higher quality flame retardant coating is provided by factory processing, since it is applied under high pressure and evenly. Do-it-yourself processing does not give such a result.

Before painting the lining, it must be treated with an antiseptic to protect it from mold, black spots and insects.

Antiseptics are compounds that kill bacteria and prevent their further reproduction. Basically, such products are based on the same base and protect against fungi, mold, insects and rotting. However, when purchasing, you should pay attention to the type of work of the selected product. The label should say “for interior use.” If you are looking for something to paint the lining inside the house without changing its color, an antiseptic is what you need.

Water-based acrylic varnish is created for both protection and decoration. They are transparent and translucent. They can be tinted. You can apply a transparent varnish as the first layer, and with the required shade as the second, but the relief and structure of the wood will be preserved.

If the room in the house, which is covered with clapboard, is not used for permanent use, for example, a balcony, you can use synthetic-based varnishes. They contain substances such as xylene and toluene, which are considered harmful to human health. But at the same time, this varnish goes on as smoothly as possible and adds shine.

Wax-based products compete well with varnishes. They impart a pleasant semi-matte shine and reliably protect the wood from pests. However, there is also a minus - such products are quite difficult to apply.

Decorative coatings

Oil paint for lining is perfectly absorbed into wood and does not allow moisture to pass through, but over time it may lose color.

Painting the lining decorative coating means that the natural color of the wood will be completely hidden. Such products are suitable for the first coating, but initially there is no need to hide the natural color of the wood.

Over time, the wood darkens, and many people get tired of the color of the walls. In this case, you can radically change the color. However, there are design solutions, when it was initially assumed that the wood relief should be present, and the color of the walls would be completely different. The lining, painted in pastel colors, you can choose soft blue or white.

Oil paint can easily be called the leader. She is a veteran in the building materials market. Oil paint has earned such a long presence among the leaders because it penetrates deeply into upper layer wood, it reliably protects it from damage and moisture, and the coating lasts up to 7 years, while the color does not fade or fade. But there are also disadvantages.

Oil paint dries for a very long time and has a rich chemical smell. Therefore, it is impossible to paint with it in the cool season, when there is no possibility of round-the-clock ventilation of the house. If the surface is painted with oil paint, it will no longer “breathe”. Therefore, painting individual objects with this paint is not recommended.

Manufacturers do not sit still, so all the shortcomings of oil paint were taken into account and acrylate paint was released. It dries quickly and does not have such a rich chemical smell, suitable for painting inside houses.

The advantage of acrylate paint is its ability to “breathe”, vapor permeability and elasticity. In addition, it retains its color and shine for a long time.

The acrylate paint coating is elastic, so even under the influence of frost, high temperature, moisture and sun does not crack. Color and shine remain for many years even when exposed to ultraviolet rays. But there is also a significant drawback - the price of such paint is significantly higher than oil paint.

Water-based acrylic varnish is created specifically for interior work, so it is non-toxic, harmless to human health, suitable for a children's room, bedroom, and also for people suffering from allergies.

If you only need to change the shade of the wood, stain will do the job perfectly.

Once you have chosen how to paint the lining, it’s time to begin the painting process itself. First you need to check everything necessary tools and carry out preparatory work.

What may be useful in the process

You will need the following tools:

To paint lining, you will need tools such as: roller, brushes, safety glasses, tape, paint, and so on.

  • gloves;
  • step ladder;
  • bucket;
  • sandpaper with fine or medium grain;
  • spray gun (if possible);
  • brushes of the required width;
  • clothes for work that you don’t mind throwing away;
  • removal products old paint(If you want to);
  • metal brush;
  • tray (for ease of painting);
  • primer;
  • wood bleach (if necessary);
  • paint, enamel, varnish - depending on what you chose;
  • impregnation.

No one will argue with the fact that wooden lining looks great in any room and interior. It should be noted that this wood material is currently popular among the available analogue types. Lumber is environmentally friendly and modern, which is why it is often used to create comfort and style in your home.

For all its advantages, lining, like any other material, loses its originality over time. this type, that’s why you need to know what to do to ensure that it always looks like new in your interior.

Preparatory work before painting

To add freshness to the wood on the walls and ceiling, you need to paint it, but if it is already painted, you need to know how to update the color of the panels, as well as know. We will tell you how to do this right now. If there is already a layer of paint on the panel, then you will have to check how well this layer adheres to the surface. If the paint has completely peeled off in some places, it is better to get rid of it.


Preparing the painted surface

This division is very arbitrary. As already mentioned, many of these products are used separately, without a decorative coating. But their main function is to protect the wood, and giving shade and expressiveness to the structure is a secondary point. old clapboard- a labor-intensive process that requires a lot of effort and time, because from preparation work surface, which you will paint will determine the final result.

Preparation methods:

  • Using a construction hair dryer. Warm up the surface to be treated and use a spatula to pry up the paint, carefully removing it from the surface. Do not forget that you need to be careful with such a device, because temperature regime It is different from a regular household hair dryer. And don't use it on ;

  • Paint removal using SP-6 composition. Use this remedy It’s very simple - apply the composition to the surface and rub it with a brush until the paint layer is completely removed. If you purchase a different paint remover composition, the instructions must be read;
  • Removing a layer of paint from the surface by using foil and an iron. We cover the wood with foil and iron it at high temperature, for 30 seconds after this process, the paint will come off very easily with a regular spatula.

Important! The latter method can only be used if the lining was painted with old-style oil paint.

If the paint on the surface of the panels adheres firmly enough and does not have any defects, then it is necessary:

  • Sand the painted surface using fine-grained sandpaper;
  • It is easier to remove unnecessary pieces of paint and other elements from the surface by applying 2% to it. soda solution. To prepare this mixture, you need to dissolve 300 grams of soda in 5-6 liters of water, preferably warm - the solution is ready;
  • Cover the entire surface with drying oil, this reliable protection lining from various kinds negative impacts at her.

Painting the lining inside the house can begin only after you have prepared the surface for this process, and have also figured out which one suits you best.

Painting the walls

The prepared surface for painting must dry well, and only after that can you proceed to preparing the tools and the painting composition itself.

  • The main tools in this process are brushes and rollers. To make painting simple and hassle-free, you need to purchase several types of brushes and rollers, hard to reach places painted with small brushes, the main surface with large brushes and rollers;

  • Don’t forget also about sponges, which will be needed throughout the entire painting process;
  • Spatula and container for paint.

Remember! Individual elements very easy to paint with a tsig mitten. To do this, you need to put it on your hand with the inside out side.

If you do the painting yourself, you need to take care to protect your skin and eyes. Invest in goggles and mittens or gloves to protect yourself from harmful effects paints.

No matter how safe the paint is, if there are children or pets in the apartment or house, it is advisable to remove them from the work area or room while painting.

The design of the lining painting depends only on you. The variety of types of paints allows your imagination to run wild.

Let's start work

  • Pour paint into a small bowl. The brush should be dipped in the composition so that only the lower part is in paint (example in the photo);

  • You should attach the brush to the wall only after paint stops dripping from it;
  • Paint carefully, without going over the already painted layer.

Many people think that there is nothing complicated about painting lining, but in fact, like any other repair process, there are some nuances and features, which we will consider below.

Rules for painting a wooden surface

  • The tip of the brush should touch the lining, and not its entire surface with fibers;
  • We paint the panels smoothly and slowly, painting every millimeter;
  • Do not pass a second time over an area that has already been painted;
  • If painting the lining at the dacha is carried out in winter, you need to remember that the temperature in the room where the work is being carried out should not be lower than 12 degrees;

Important! It is better to apply several thin layers than one thick one.

  • The second layer of paint is applied from top to bottom;
  • If there are metal inserts on the lining, you need to go over them with vinegar.

In order to understand how such a process is carried out in practice, watch the video: painting wooden lining. Now let’s move on to the advice given by masters, specialists in this matter.

Master Class:

  • There is no paint left in the container, and the lining has not yet been painted, do not worry, you just need to carefully scrape off the remaining paint from the walls and bottom of the container and use it for its intended purpose. If the composition thickens, simply dilute it with warm water;
  • If the paint ends up on your skin, you should not use a solvent or any aggressive means, just rub the stain with vegetable oil;
  • The lining is painted with varnish in accordance with the instructions on the packaging (can);
  • Painting of eurolining on the outside is carried out only in warm time of the year.

In conclusion

The price of paints and varnishes depends on their properties, composition and quality. You should not save on such compounds, because the appearance and long-term durability of the lining coating will depend on their quality.

Quite recently it seemed that natural wood, as finishing material, has sunk into oblivion. But quickly getting enough plastic panels and various tiles, many came to the conclusion that the best solution is environmentally friendly wood. This is especially true for private and country houses, where you want to be in unity with nature not only outside your home, but also indoors. However natural material needs additional processing. Therefore, the question increasingly arises about how to paint the lining inside a country house.

Indeed, why additionally process products that have excellent decorative look. But there are several reasons suggesting that this procedure is simply necessary.

The dyeing process is divided into two important components: protective and decorative. In the first case, it is necessary to process the material to strengthen its properties, in the second - to give it a better decorative appearance.


Painting lining is a procedure that has not only a decorative, but a protective function

Let's take a closer look at the purpose of each composition:

  1. The application of fire retardants reduces the flammability of elements. It is important to understand that it is impossible to completely prevent the spread of flame.
  2. Additional treatment with antiseptics is carried out to protect against the appearance of mold and fungi, which leads to deterioration of the material.
  3. Waxing and varnishing are dual-use options. On the one hand, they protect the surface from various damages, and on the other hand, they emphasize the decorative appearance of the product.
  4. Working with paints involves hiding the natural color of the wood. This does not mean that the material will lose its attractiveness. On the contrary, it is possible to diversify the interior while maintaining the wood texture.

On a note! Untreated elements have a shorter service life, which is sometimes 5-6 years, and even less in the country.


Processing the lining with various compositions allows you to extend the service life of the material

Types of painting materials

How to paint the lining? Answering this question can be quite difficult. The fact is that there are many compositions that differ in their characteristics. Their correct use can transform the room or, conversely, ruin the entire appearance.

Protective compounds

These solutions act as protectors, but can provide a certain decorative effect.

Fire retardants

It is necessary to coat products with such a composition that are located in places where fire may occur. Of course, it's better to soak everything wooden materials, used for finishing work.

On a note! It is very difficult to apply fire retardants with your own hands; the effect is not so significant. Therefore, preference should be given to elements that are processed in production.

Antiseptics

Substances that eliminate the threat of various types bacteria that promote rotting and destruction. This solution is perfect when you want to leave the material unchanged. The composition will be for a long time protect the product so that it does not require additional painting.


Antiseptic protects the lining from various bacteria

Lucky

In fact, varnishes are already closer to colorful compositions, but have a good protective function. Painting the lining inside the house can be done with different materials:

  • Acrylic lacquer. Great for all interior spaces. It can be transparent or translucent. If necessary, the substances can be tinted.
  • Synthetic materials. This option requires caution. At dachas they cover the rooms that are located at the entrance to the house.

It is quite easy to work with varnish compositions, you just need to take into account that to achieve a better result you need to apply them in several layers.


Varnish allows you to protect the lining from rotting, damage and destruction

On a note! An excellent solution can be wax, which protects the elements and gives them a rich shade. But it is quite difficult to apply, because you have to literally rub it into the surface.

Decorative options

Paint for lining is The best way transform a surface that has already served for a considerable period of time. That is, if over time the product began to darken, cracks appeared in places. In this case, it is best to apply paint. As a result, you can completely renovate the interior of your country house and bring to life ideas that will help with this.


Painting lining is one of the best options protection, which also performs a decorative function

How to cover the lining? It should be taken into account that for work they can be used different types material.

Oil paint

It is considered one of the most popular substances. This option has been used for many decades. This is explained by the fact that the solution has excellent characteristics. They consist in the fact that the composition penetrates deep enough into the upper layers of wood, ensuring its long-term preservation. The coating retains its properties for 7-10 years.

Some disadvantages cannot be excluded:

  • The material has a rich chemical smell that takes a very long time to dissipate.
  • The first point leads to limiting the dyeing time. That is, it is not possible to work in winter, because thorough ventilation is required, which can defrost the entire country house.
  • The protective property of paint is fraught with another drawback - the material firmly clogs the pores of the wood, it stops breathing. This means that the microclimate, which is especially valuable when using lining, will be spoiled.

Therefore, for interior work this composition used extremely rarely.

It should immediately be noted that this type is very similar to acrylic compounds, but has more low price and required characteristics.

This coloring option has the following properties:

  1. Absent bad smell, which needs long-term ventilation.
  2. The coating is much more elastic, which increases service life. It more successfully resists aggressive external environment. This is very important, because many country houses remain without heating during the winter.
  3. The surface remains breathable, which allows you to maintain exactly the atmosphere that is inherent in wooden structures.
  4. The work is done much faster and easier.

Acrylate paint allows you to create an elastic, breathable coating

Of course, such material costs a little more than oil paint, but the result exceeds all expectations.

On a note! To paint the walls from the inside of the house, other options are used, which contain the mark “for woodwork” on the label. One of these varieties is stain. This is an excellent composition that allows you to saturate the wood with depth, but preserve its color and texture.

How is coloring done?

How to paint lining so that the effect is long and impressive? For such an event you will need a set of tools:

  • Set of brushes and roller. If possible, then a spray gun.
  • Tray. To make it easier to pick up paint.
  • Protective and decorative compounds.
  • Sandpaper, stiff brush.
  • It is better to have a stable stepladder and glasses to protect your eyes.

Using a spray gun allows you to quickly complete painting work on the lining

Coloring consists of several stages. It is much more difficult when work is carried out on an old coating. Then it becomes necessary to remove the old one decorative layer and clean the surface well.

Stage one - preparation

Purchased products are checked for possible damage and deformation. It often happens that materials are purchased that belong to a lower class. They require a long preparation - they are processed with sandpaper, and the cracks are covered with wood putty. If there are dark spots on the surface, then bleaching is performed.

On a note! You need to pay close attention to the presence of knots. Sometimes it seems that these inclusions give a certain charm to the material, but they can cause defects.


If the material has defects in the form of cracks, they are eliminated using putty

Stage two - primer

It is necessary to cover the front side of the lining with priming compounds. This will reduce the consumption of other solutions, increase adhesion, and will also prevent the elements from being subject to deformation. Wherein Special attention given to the knots, they are literally soaked to prevent the possibility of falling out if drying occurs.


The primer improves adhesion when painting lining

Stage three - impregnation

Now protective impregnations are applied. These are fire retardants and antiseptics. Impregnation is carried out over the entire surface. You must not allow unpainted areas to remain. It is important to consider that such products should not have any foreign (pungent) odors or change the color of the wood.

On a note! Many people mistakenly believe that they can eliminate the process of applying an antiseptic if they purchase a primer that already includes this substance. Firstly, the content of such components in the primer is insignificant. Secondly, the dacha requires careful processing.


When applying protective impregnation, it is necessary to ensure that no untreated areas are left.

Stage four - coloring

How to paint lining inside a house? This procedure begin only after the material has dried well from previous manipulations. The process is:

  1. The paint is prepared in advance. The solution must be well placed, because at the bottom there may be sediment, which includes the main components.
  2. A small part of the composition is poured into the tray if a roller is used. It is better to provide a container for the brush that is easy to carry. Using a spray gun makes the work better, and the paint is poured into a special container.
  3. It should be taken into account that movements are performed along the fibers of the material. You can’t stay in one place, the coating should be uniform.
  4. Several layers are applied, this will provide an excellent decorative effect.

To get good decorative effect, paint should be applied in several layers

On a note! Each subsequent layer is applied only when the previous one has dried. It is better not to give in to the temptation to apply one, but very thick layer. This will lead to the coating starting to peel off, leaving the appearance completely unpresentable.

Still, how to cover the lining? This question is quite complex, the answer to it depends on many factors that are calculated purely individually. But it must be taken into account that if the composition is used on large areas, then it must ensure the “breathing” of the material.

    THANK YOU so much for the very useful information in the article. Everything is presented very clearly. It feels like a lot of work has been done to analyze the operation of the eBay store

    • Thank you and other regular readers of my blog. Without you, I would not be motivated enough to dedicate much time to maintaining this site. My brain is structured this way: I like to dig deep, systematize scattered data, try things that no one has done before or looked at from this angle. It’s a pity that our compatriots have no time for shopping on eBay because of the crisis in Russia. They buy from Aliexpress from China, since goods there are much cheaper (often at the expense of quality). But online auctions eBay, Amazon, ETSY will easily give the Chinese a head start in the range of branded items, vintage items, handmade items and various ethnic goods.

        What is valuable in your articles is your personal attitude and analysis of the topic. Don't give up this blog, I come here often. There should be a lot of us like that. Email me I recently received an email with an offer that they would teach me how to trade on Amazon and eBay.

  • It’s also nice that eBay’s attempts to Russify the interface for users from Russia and the CIS countries have begun to bear fruit. After all, the overwhelming majority of citizens of the countries of the former USSR do not have strong knowledge of foreign languages. No more than 5% of the population speak English. There are more among young people. Therefore, at least the interface is in Russian - this is a big help for online shopping on this trading platform. eBay did not follow the path of its Chinese counterpart Aliexpress, where a machine (very clumsy and incomprehensible, sometimes causing laughter) translation of product descriptions is performed. I hope that at a more advanced stage of development of artificial intelligence, high-quality machine translation from any language to any in a matter of seconds will become a reality. So far we have this (the profile of one of the sellers on eBay with a Russian interface, but an English description):
