Wood ceiling

Wood is truly wonderful material that has been appreciated at all times. That is why you can make anything from it. And it will always be beautiful, inimitable and original. Many are used to the fact that from interior decorating, wood is used mainly for floors and, perhaps, walls. But pay attention to how beautiful and cozy wooden ceilings look.

As practice shows, among all kinds of ceilings, wooden ones occupy a leading position. What is the reason for this? Firstly, it has excellent thermal and sound insulation; secondly, there is a huge selection of wood species: from the simplest and cheapest, to valuable and expensive. This allows you to choose the material for each wallet. And the main feature of the tree is that it is a natural material, environmentally friendly, which breathes, has its own unique aroma and pattern. Having absorbed all the power of nature, a tree envelops you with a unique aura filled with life. Another important detail - the tree has an interesting ability to scatter light. Many designers use this feature to create a natural shading effect, where the play of light and shadow becomes the main decoration technique.

The whole unique feature of a wooden ceiling is that it can be absolutely anything and at the same time look amazing, cozy and comfortable. Of course, the coffered ceilings sheathed with a solid array look very elegant, but even imitation of the beam will create an elegant flavor. In addition, for each style, you can choose a certain type of wooden ceiling.

What else do you need to know about this ceiling before deciding on it? It is important to consider the moment that a tree is exposed to various environmental influences: moisture, temperature changes, insects and so on. Therefore, the wooden ceiling must be treated with special antiseptic agents. But! You must be sure that these substances are non-toxic. The next point is the price. As we said above, there is cheap wood, at an average price and very expensive. Therefore, first you need to decide on the available finances, and then choose a type of wood for your ceiling. Here, the style of the interior that you choose can play an important role. For example, a more expensive wood, with a varnished surface and so on, will suit the hi-tech, modern or minimalism style. But for Provence or Country, you can take cheaper breeds, or in any case they should look like this, it will be appropriate and harmonious.

Also note that the wooden ceiling will significantly reduce the height of the room by about 10-15 centimeters. Therefore, if the ceilings are so low, then this type of finish is undesirable. But in any case, you can use various methods of visual increase or lengthening of the space. Next, you need to make a wiring plan and designate the location of the lamps and other electrical appliances.

Of course, the more noble the wood, the better and more beautiful the ceiling from it, and all other products. For example, pine is considered one of the most popular species, but not everyone can afford it. And in some countries, cypress is the most popular wood.Its structure has small pockmarks, due to which a room with such a finish acquires a certain exotic charm.

It should be noted that when choosing elements it is worth considering all the nuances, for example, boards made from the core of a tree have a tendency to crack and, moreover, they are difficult to process. But they have an excellent water-repellent structure. But boards from the edges of the trunk do not crack and are much easier to process.

So, as we have said, currently the choice of wood is very wide. Therefore, we list some of the elements from which wooden ceilings are made.

Lining

These are edged boards of the same size, planed and grooved. To make it clear, grooved - this means that the boards have a thorn-groove fastener, which allows for quick and high-quality installation and enhances overall strength. Pine, cedar, larch, oak, beech, mahogany and so on are mainly used for the production of lining.

Wooden panels

This decorative finishing material is made mainly of valuable wood, but not completely. As a rule, only the front side is made of expensive species, and for the remaining two layers take less expensive and more common - spruce and pine. These layers stick together under high temperature and high pressure. Wood panels are popular for their high quality, durability, and spectacular appearance. And also the fact that they are quick and easy to mount.

Facing plates

These are plates from valuable breeds of a tree. They are produced in a very wide range. The most popular is the type of plates, which is completely saturated with wooden wax. This makes the panels waterproof, which allows them to be installed in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Also, this wax impregnation makes the panels immune to dirt. Moreover, they do not tend to crack or delaminate.

Plywood

Plywood is highly wear-resistant and durable. It consists of several layers of wood superimposed on each other. The processing is very simple, it is easy to paint or tint. Many designers are very fond of tinted plywood, as this clearly reflects the natural composition of wood. In order for plywood to become waterproof, it must be treated with special solutions, which, by the way, gives it additional strength.

Wooden wallpaper

This finishing material is considered a very promising innovation, combining standard wallpaper and panels, which unlimitedly expanded the capabilities of designers. Wooden wallpapers have a graceful texture. There are veneer and cork wallpapers. For veneer wallpapers, valuable wood species are used that are glued onto paper veneer wallpapers. Sheet or roll wallpaper from cork is odor resistant, easily cleaned from dirt and have good sound insulation.

Ceiling fillet

This is a kind of skirting board made of wood for the ceiling. According to experts, it is the most durable and durable material. Using a fillet is easy to hide some of the imperfections or roughness of the ceiling. The length of the products is 120 millimeters, which significantly reduces the number of joints when covering the ceiling. There are laminated and veneered products. The fillet is mounted on top of the wooden ceiling either with nails or with self-tapping screws with plugs, liquid nails or clips. A very spectacular and beautiful addition, you can even create compositions on the ceiling of the fillet.

False beams

Decorative false beams occupy a special place among the wooden elements for hanging ceilings. They have several advantages, namely: lightness of the product, ease of installation and high durability. It is very convenient that inside these beams you can hide any wires: electrical, from the Internet or antenna. And also in them it is possible to mount lamps. Designers using false beams often visually expand the space or raise the ceiling.

With the help of a wooden ceiling, you can make the room simple or elegant, restrained or comfortable. Therefore, depending on the purpose, style of the room and its functional load, various designs of wooden elements are used.

♦ A tinted coating or clearcoat accentuates the unique wood pattern. Can be painted in any color. In addition to appearance, any of these treatments increases the strength and durability of wood, protecting it from moisture and wood parasites.

♦ Wooden structures and compositions. The tree is easy to process, which contributes to the creation of interesting compositions with ledges, embossed beams, portals and so on. This is a sophisticated and sophisticated accent in the interior.

♦ It is important to consider its effect on the atmosphere when decorating a room with any material. So, dark wood will reduce the room. Therefore, they should be used in spacious and well-lit rooms. But wood in light shades can be designed and small rooms, which from this will become even a little more spacious. Many designers like to make compositions from different varieties of wood, which is very unusual and interesting. But for a too cramped room, this may also be unacceptable.

♦ Decorating the ceiling with a tree is not only beautiful, but also convenient; there you can successfully hide both wires and ventilation pipes.

So, there are many varieties of wooden ceilings, as well as wood itself. And there are even more design options.
