Particular care should be fixed to support bars in the areas of the corners of the walls. The distance between the bars depends on the thickness of boards: plating thickness 10 mm are typically used to cover walls for supporting bars, spaced at 400-600 mm. Sheathing of boards of greater thickness (12 mm) recommended for surfaces separate elements and must be sufficiently rigid when the distance between the supporting bars of 500-600 mm.

There are various ways of fastening the sheathing to the supporting bars. The fastest and easiest way is “open” — using nails with exposed heads. They are arranged in neat rows and clogged with the help of the punch to avoid damage to the surface with a hammer. Holes for nails can be subsequently sealed.

“Hidden” mounting — angle driving thin nails into the ridge of tongue and groove joint and disguised in the groove of the next Board. This is a more time consuming way, and until you have mastered the skill it is associated with the risk of splitting the wood.

Pattern plating, also can be very diverse: from wide or narrow grooves, lapped or square edges, boards have small spaces between them, which gives the decoration a special attraction.
