The use of wooden partitions
Wooden partitions are an excellent solution for the transformation of space in an apartment or house, they are multifunctional, at the same time replace the wall and part of the furniture, create an additional niche or room. Wooden interior partitions are quite light, especially frame type or modular with glasses. In terms of functionality and ease of installation, they significantly exceed foam concrete, shell -to -cash, brick and stone. Wooden partitions are indispensable where heavy structures are excluded - an attic, a loggia, an additional built -in floor or if the house has a weak foundation on floating soils.
Wooden partitions, photos of which are presented in the article, show a variety of options for using them in the interior.
They are often used by designers for separation:
- kitchen and living room zones;
- loft-partitions;
- “Houses without walls”;
- studio apartments.
Sliding structures have a number of advantages, especially if two rooms need to instantly combine into one whole or zone space as necessary. Installation of wooden partitions will help separate the small space of the bedroom to equip a dressing room. In the nursery, such a move allows you to create a separate game zone.
A little story
The principle of zoning of space was used in antiquity, partitions and screens became part of some historical styles of interiors. In the time of ancient Egypt, there were screens from the Nile reed, which were suspended between the columns to fence off the bed in the bedside. In any interior, the partitions made it possible to reorganize the space in order to hide from prying eyes.
It is known that Catherine II liked to use ordinary screen, since the Petrodvorets project provided for a through passage to each room. By the way, the “crazy empress” behind the shirma gracked with her favorites, and by old age, sitting behind a screen at a night vase, talked with her label medician and dictated decrees for ministers to her secretary. She loved luxury, so her screens were covered with outlandish Chinese silk.
Interior partitions in modern houses
Partitions in a modern house are a mandatory stage of arrangement, especially in wooden buildings, for example, in saunas. When the stage of a common box is suitable for completion, any room is divided into functional areas according to the general development plan.
Wooden interior partitions should be installed strictly according to the house or somewhat later, at the end of the main construction work, if they were not provided initially. Partitions on a wooden frame are needed to:
- delimit the room;
- shift and expand the doorway.
The combined bathroom can also have a mobile opaque partition, so that in the morning, when there was little time, some could wash in the shower, while others could calmly wash and visit the toilet.
Starting installation, it is important to thoroughly delve into the assembly stages, have elementary skills in working with wood and its decoration. Sometimes it is appropriate to invite masters to install the first partition, and observe the process of building a structure.
Advantages and disadvantages
1. Among the obvious advantages of wooden interior partitions are highlighted:
- environmental friendliness of natural materials;
- the ability to create panels and prefabricated modules of any configuration or choose wood of contrasting shades with a decorative effect;
- the possibility of additional processing by thread, varnishing, painting, printing;
- the designs are easy to repair or replace, in case of unexpected deformation.
2. The disadvantages include:
- the property of wood is the need for additional processing by refractory and antifungal agents;
- the tree is afraid of high humidity and temperature difference;
- small noise insulation of a wooden structure;
- caring for increased insulation of the electrical wiring laid near wooden panels.
Basic requirements for interior partitions
Stationary interior partitions must meet the following parameters:
- maximum stability, in order to avoid danger to residents;
- it is important to ensure the durability of structures in proportion to the life of the house;
- should not have cracks, gaps and cracks at the junction of surfaces;
- periodically clean, so as not to be a haven for rodents, termites and other uninvited guests;
- high fire resistance, noise insulation and moisture resistance is important;
- for mobile panels, the ease of movement, a well -established hinge mechanism, the presence of spings for fixation are important.
Varieties of interior partitions
Wooden partitions are:
- mobile;
- folding;
- collapsible;
- combined, with one moving part;
- stationary.
1. The most convenient in the type of "compartment" with a profile of MDF or wood. They are beautiful, functional and reliable. The guide fastening and the roller mechanism for movement make it possible to use the finished canvases, which are complemented by matte, corrugated, stained glass, and colored plastic. For the septum-cape, the finished sliding mechanism, lower or upper ones are acquired.
2. Interior interior partitions-interior designers are used for temporary separation and unification of living space. This is convenient when the kitchen and the dining room should become a combined area, after which it is easy to divide them.
3. Mobile partitions or a screen is the most convenient method of zoning or distinguishing between living space, especially in a large and spacious country wooden house, where the walls are not provided at all, but there are only functional zones.
4. Sliding screens consist of several sections connected by hinges that change the inter -pex angle. A mobile wooden screen will help to fence off the corner of the house for relaxing guests, work behind a laptop, games and relaxation of young children, create a secluded corner for cutting game after hunting and cooking.
5. Folding interior wooden partitions tend to organize a living space, in design, recalling the "accordion", where a metal frame is used. The type “Book” is an additional opportunity to rationally separate the free space. In fact, these are 2 panels that can be folded due to the roller mechanism with the guide track in the floor.
6. The combined type of interior partitions is also very in demand. It provides for 2 parts: stationary and mobile. Outwardly, they can be the same, but only one part moves.
Differences in the design of mobile and stationary wooden partitions
1. Mobile partitions are moved using guides and rollers, and motionless large -format partitions provide for the presence of a stationary frame.
Remember: the easier the mobile partition, the easier it will be to move it, so it should be made of light wood and not overloaded with decor elements.
The frame is made in the form of a grate or collect ready -made wooden modules with inserts of lighter materials - fabric, glass or plastic.
2. Stationary partitions are made of an array with the addition of any decor elements, for example, with an mounted aquarium or an airborne panel, and it is also possible to combine furniture functions. For example, a partition may contain a secret cabinet, a safe under the picture, additional shelves and mezzanines.
3. For the installation of mobile partitions, lighter materials and wood of small density are used, and a heavy array is appropriate in stationary structures. Light plywood sheets and thin veneer are used for the upper sliding system, the natural tree is applicable only for the lower resting type of fastening.
Important: the suspended interior wooden partitions have only the upper rail, and this is very important in cases when an expensive mirror parquet or other expensive coating on the floor. Such installation allows you to save it without scratches.
4. Rounded wooden partitions resemble the type of “coupe” from bent paintings, they are installed in the guides with the same bend, supplementing with a molted glass. It is made under each section of the partition separately, taking into account the corner of curvature.
Important: for curved partitions, a special material is used, which resembles a tree in structure - this is a topan, a kind of MDF. Therefore, you should not think about how to make a rounded partition of a rounded shape independently from the improvised wood, you will need only a specialized material that allows you to get the desired shape of the structure.
5. Transformer percities are a design in which the panels rotate independently, like a separate door.
Important: canvases of this type should not “walk” on their own, they are fixed in the groove on the floor with a floor built -in spinger.
Wooden partition installation technology
By making a partition, they often combine a tree with other materials:
- plexiglass (unprecedented plexiglass),
- stained glass,
- color and transparent plastic.
This contributes to the penetration of more natural light into the house.
Among wood for wooden partitions, they use:
- ash,
- beech,
- pine,
- maple.
The frame of them can also be supplemented with elegant wood carvings, a panel in the marquetry technique, an veneered shell of a contrasting color, a “braid” or mirrors. The linen beam, MDF, chipboard, a decorative plywood 4 - 20 mm, pieces of laminate and a parquet board are also based on the basis. “Living” wood should be additionally polished and covered with stain, wax or varnish.
1. For a simple partition:
- we need boards for vertical installation of a structure of 40-50 mm, 1 cm shorter than height from ceiling to floor;
- using a pencil and a plumb line, we draw the vertical and horizontal lines on the ceiling and on the floor;
- net up the 2 bars to the floor so that the groove is obtained along the volume of the board, at the ceiling we beat a triangular beam;
- we insert the mounted board into the lower groove, pressing it against the wall, and nail it to the upper bark;
- after installation, the gaps are filled with packley or other filler;
- net the 2nd triangular beam at the ceiling, pressing the boards;
- the partition is plastered or finished with plasterboard, supplementing with a baseboard.
2. For the installation of mobile partitions:
- you need to purchase a hinge mechanism;
- install guides;
- the entire structure is made by marking and design.
3. For the frame partition for the skin:
- you need to take bars for the base along the length of the partition;
- fix them with dowels step 600-1200 mm;
- we make the sheathing from plywood, chipboard or fiberboard 50-75 mm on the one hand entirely;
- we move to the other side, doing the same;
- we decorate or plaster on both sides.
