What is the simulation of the beam? Dimensions for interior and exterior finishes

Many owners want to have a beautiful and environmentally friendly house. However, the cost of real wood for many families can not afford. But from this situation there is a way out. Finishing can be done so that no one can distinguish it from the bar, and this can be done with the lowest possible cost.

Simulation of the bar

Imitations of the bar, the sizes of which are very different, has two indisputable advantages: excellent quality and considerable savings. This material is in many respects similar to the usual lining. It differs only in its more massive dimensions (width and thickness) and careful processing of the front side of the board. Docking panels is carried out on the principle of "spike-groove", but after connecting the boards an intermediate gap is absent. There is also another significant difference between the imitation of the beam and the lining - installation can only be done in a horizontal plane.

Application

Imitations of the beam, the dimensions of which will be given below, has a fairly wide range of applications. This universal finishing material is used:

• For internal lining (walls and ceiling);
• For exterior decoration of buildings (walls, pediment, foundation).

For outdoor works, as a rule, a wider board is used, and for interior finishing - narrow (width 135-145 mm).

Simulation of the beam is ideal for finishing:

• Country houses;
• Restaurants;
• Offices.

The panels are made up of miniature structures:

• Pergolas;
• Baths;
• Multifunctional outbuildings.

Imitation of the beam is made by finishing the rest rooms in the bathhouse, offices, hotels, mansards, greenhouses, etc.

Imitation of the beam: dimensions

Accurate compliance with dimensions is one of the prerequisites for the production of high-quality finishing material. Otherwise, during installation, there may be some difficulties, and the end result will be very far from ideal.

Simulation of the bar refers to a fairly specific lumber, which, as a rule, does not have any specific specifications. Given the specifics of the finishes and requirements of customers, manufacturers produce this material in different sizes. According to the GOST board the imitation of the bar dimensions has the following:

1. The width is from 110 to 190 mm. From this indicator depends largely on the appearance of the already finished room. The most popular width is 135 mm. Due to the small number of knots and the convenience of dressing, this width has an Extra and A grade.
2. Thickness: 18, 20, 22, 28, 34 mm, but the simulation of the bar dimensions can have 16, 14 mm, but this is not standard. The most popular thickness is 20 and 22 mm.
3. Length of 3 or 6 m. But there are boards of 2, 2.5, 5.4 meters, but these figures are considered non-standard.
4. The weight of the panels is 11 kg per square meter. Meter dry products. Humidity of products varies from 12-14%.

Block house imitation bar size has the following:

• Length of the material from 2 to 6 m;
• Thickness from 2 to 4 cm;
• Width can be very different - 14, 17, 19, 20 cm or other, depending on the wishes of the customer.

Selecting a size

When choosing the size of the board, the following is taken into account:

• What will be the finish (external or internal);
• Length of wall to be trimmed.

Imitation of the bar must be chosen so that there are as few joints as possible. This will help achieve a beautiful and maximum imitation of the structure of a log or beam.

If the joints of the interior finish can be covered with decor elements and furniture, then the outer lining is always in sight. Therefore, the type of material should be selected, given the purpose of the finish.

The size of imitation of the bar for exterior finishing

For facades, as a rule, panels are used, having a thickness of 25-30 mm, and a width of at least 150 mm. So you can get the most resemblance to the house from the present beam. If you use a narrower panel, the paneling will be similar to the finish of the lining. Why then overpay? If the walls are longer than 3 m, then it is more advisable to use panels in 6 m. This will help to achieve a minimum number of dockings.

But do not forget that the larger the size of the material, the greater its weight and, accordingly, the more difficult the installation. The greatest difficulties arise when facing walls with panels with a large size - 35 by 190 mm.

Simulation of the beam: dimensions for interior finishing

Interior finish with a wide board is not recommended, as this will visually reduce the room. Usually, panels are used, the width of which is at least 110 mm, and the thickness is 16-22 mm. And indoors, this material can be fastened in different directions, which allows you to choose a more convenient length. The most commonly used length is 2 and 3 m. It is not advisable to take a 6 m panel for interior trim.

To simulate the bar sold special so-called kleymers, which differ in number. The value of the number is equal to the width of the hook, which includes its slot in the panel. The sizes of the kleimers for simulating the beam are different, so it is very important to choose them correctly so that they approach the board. They are sold in a package of 100 or 200 pieces together with screws or nails for fastening.
