How to nail the wall panel
Before starting work, each master asks himself how to nail a wall panel. For a long time this material has been serving as a favorite material for finishing various premises. Its popularity is not waning, despite the fact that more and more new and more advanced analogues appear on the market.
Despite the abundance of materials, clapboard trimming remains popular.
Mounting lining with klyimery
Carrying out such an attachment involves the installation of each subsequent element in the groove, this allows you to achieve the most solid fixation.
On the internal elevations of the grooves, you should install special cleats designed for mounting the wall panel, which are then fixed with nails or screws on the slats. The final mount to be made when the adjacent elements will be fitted to the size. Otherwise, there is the likelihood of many inaccuracies. The final panel is inserted into the previous one using the same technology. It may happen that the last board does not enter the remaining space. In this case, it will have to be trimmed, and then it will be strengthened with nails or screws.

The scheme of fixing lining with cleats.
This technique is often used when there is no possibility to apply another. The work involves drilling holes in the boards, the diameter of which is ½ the thickness of the screw. After that, using a screwdriver, to screw the screws into the holes, making it so that they are completely in the wood. In order for the screw to be firmly secured, the holes must be plugged with a wooden pin and then ground flush with the surface. It should not be forgotten that moisture exposure will contribute to the drying of the anchorages, which will make them more visible. In order to eliminate this possibility, from time to time, at least once every 3 months, treatment should be carried out with the help of a special protective agent.

Methods of fixing lining.
The clapboard can be strengthened with nails, to keep when driven to be at an angle of 45 °. However, experts do not recommend using this method, since it is more likely to cause a marriage. This is due to the fact that nailing the canvases without damaging them is very difficult, which cannot be said, for example, about the method of fastening with clamps.
If you decide to use this method, you will be asked how to nail the wall panel properly. In this case, you need to take into account the required number of fasteners on one board, which should be equal to 6 nails. This is true if you plan to use boards with a width limited to 10 mm and a height of 250 cm. Thus, if you need to clap a wall with a length of 10 m, you will need about 600 nails.
This technique involves putting a nail in the groove of the canvas, after which the fasteners can be hammered into the mounting rail.
By means of an adheater, the fastener caps can be sunk inward, which will prevent the creation of obstacles for the installation of subsequent facing boards.
For work to be prepared the following materials and tools:
To start nailing the wall paneling, it is necessary to make a batten, in 50-60 cm increments.
- clapboard;
- nails;
- doboynik
- level;
- hammer.
Before the wall paneling is nailed, it is necessary to decide whether its direction will be: vertical or horizontal. Fastening can be made at an angle, but this method involves the application of more impressive labor costs. At the same time, the material consumption will be higher.
Lining can be nailed directly to the wall, if it is made of wood and has no errors. Otherwise, it is necessary to equip the crate on the basis of rails, the distance of which should be equal to 500 mm. Reiki should be dry and smooth, made of pine. The cross section of the material should be equivalent to 20x40 mm. Preliminary, it is desirable to treat them with antiseptic. In the corner of the room should be mounted starting rail, its position to be checked by a plumb line. It is necessary to fix the slats with screws, using plastic dowels and wooden strips. A second rail must be installed in the opposite corner. On the top and on the bottom of the rail to the rail, two cords should be pulled, which will act as beacons when mounting the upper and lower elements of the batten system.
Under the ceiling and near the floor to install horizontal slats. With a deviation from the bottom 0.5 m should be mounted horizontally another rail. The same technology should be used when installing the remaining elements of the frame.
Begin to fix the wall paneling from the left corner of the room. Before installing the finish, it is necessary to cut it, having cut with an electric jigsaw, which should be 5 mm less than the height of the room. Installation of the starting strip is necessary to produce a crest to the corner.
Tools for cladding walls clapboard: a gun for stitching brackets, suture claw, panel tongs, nails, edge grinder, screws, clamps, hammer, screwdriver.
It is necessary to use thin fixture with a small hat.
From time to time, the position of the canvases will be controlled through a plumb line. The final strip should be cut to the required width and nailed to the system at the right edge. The starting wallboard of the next wall must be rid of the ridge. This strip will close the fastening caps on the last board of the first wall.
If you mount the cladding from the bottom up, it will allow you to better see how to nail the clapboard to the very top, but the board will be cut to the ceiling, which is not always aesthetically pleasing. This method leaves noticeable gaps between the stripes. If the technology is used in the decoration of rooms for baths or saunas, moisture leaks out in the gap and the material loses appearance in a short time. You can start from the top, in this case, the first board must be installed under the ceiling. Next, the web is inserted with a comb into the groove of the starting web. With the establishment of the last canvas is convenient to use a simple lever in the form of a nail puller or mount. The gap in the floor area can be decorated with plinth.
Diagonal lining, as a rule, is fixed on the ceilings. Begin work from the corner. The ends of each blade must be cut off. If work is carried out in the area of the ceiling, in the role of fasteners it is preferable to use clamps and screws. For the outer corners, you should use wooden corners, which strengthen the finishing thin nails. Internal knots need to be decorated with jute cord or shaped corner rail, which is called a fillet.

Fastening lining on nails hidden method.
Lining can be nailed to the base and through staples. The introduction of fasteners into the groove should be made at an angle of 45 °. If the brackets are installed correctly, the spike of the previous blade will go well into the slots. After that, you can fix the next board.
If you have not yet decided how to nail the material, you should consider whether the need to dismantle the skin may arise. In this case, it is recommended to prefer the first described method, whereas for rooms with high humidity, whether it is a bath or a basement, it is better to fix by the second method. If the aesthetics of the finish is not too important, it is acceptable to use nails as fasteners. And the use of a stapler will allow you to complete the work in much shorter time.
Deciding which method to use should be prior to the acquisition of the material, since, for example, diagonal mounting implies a more impressive consumption of panels than other methods of work.
