Wooden Block House for interior decoration
This material has replaced the good old lining, but looks better due to the fact that it imitates a log. The walls can be built of bricks, blocks, or frame structures - in any case, thanks to this finishing, they acquire a particularly cozy and “warm” look.
The pictures showing the block house look very nice and make you want to decorate your home with this particular material. A variety of log house block sizes, types, and a wide range of shades make it possible to realize almost any idea.
Wooden block house for interior decoration, dimensions: height - 22 mm, width 99 mm, length can be different - 2.1; 2.4; 2.7; 3 meters. It is important to know how many house blocks are in a cube. In this case, this amount is capable of covering an area of 45.4 “squares”.
Imitation log
In fact, the block house can be used in finishing stone houses and houses made of timber . Wooden, vinyl and metal panels of this finishing building material resemble logs in appearance. From a distance it is almost impossible to distinguish houses finished with a block house from a log house. Wooden finishing panels of a block house are the outer part of a log, cleared of bark. The blockhouse has longitudinal tongue and groove connections. This design of the fasteners allows these finishing panels to be joined together during operation. In addition, thanks to tongue and groove joints, moisture, air and insects do not penetrate to the base of the building.
Blockhouse wide
This type is considered the most practical when it comes to interior work. With the same success it can be used for external wall cladding.
Wide block house, dimensions: these panels can be three or 6 meters high, height 128 mm, width 142 mm.
The dimensions of a log house block require an understanding of some nuances, for example, what a block house looks like. Thus, a large height in a universal type ridge leads to the fact that there will be fewer boards in the cube. This means that the price is higher than that of the “Classic”.
Accordingly, it is the latter that can be considered a more profitable option. Another advantage is that it takes up less room space. The “Classic” block house cube is capable of covering an area of 35.7 “squares”
Wide block house for exterior decoration
As its name suggests, it is only suitable for facades. It is very common as a finishing material in frame house construction. Despite the fact that this is a wide block house, the dimensions and width do not interfere with convenient assembly; it looks presentable and lasts a long time.
Wide, for exterior decoration, block house, dimensions: with a height of 36 mm, the block house has a width of 193 mm, length, unlike other types, can only be one - 6 m. In a cube of material for 27.75 square meters of area
Panel categories – from A to C
If we are talking about average values, then the length is 2-6 meters, the width is 9-18 cm, the thickness range is 20-40 mm. Block House differs not only in size, but also in quality, and this information is marked on the packaging.
Category A
The classes are marked with the letters A, B, C. Category A are products on which the presence of one “live” knot on every one and a half meters of the panel is acceptable, resin pockets - a maximum of two pieces, non-through cracks - also two.
Category B
For a Block House of category B, no more than four knots are allowed for the same length (1.5 m) (and their diameter should be a maximum of 2 cm); the number of permissible blind cracks and resin pockets is two.
Category C
On panels of category C there may be cracks with a length of no more than 5% of the length of the entire product. The diameter of the resin pockets should be no more than 6 mm, and the length of the knots should not exceed 2.5 cm.
It should be borne in mind that manufacturers classify panels with different parameters into certain classes, i.e. their standards may differ. However, in any situation, the highest quality panels are category A.
In a number of cases, there are products marked with class AB - here we are talking about the presence of flaws belonging to both categories.

Block house - types depending on the type of wood
When choosing a block house, types for interior or exterior decoration, they give preference to the following types of wood:
- Pine is the most popular and budget option for lamellas. Thanks to the large amount of resins, the board has high density, resistance to mold and insects. A block house of this type is suitable for external work and is much less often used for internal work.
- Larch performs equally well both outside and inside the building. An excellent choice if you need to finish a sauna or living space. A beautiful design requires only transparent varnishes, and hardness and resistance to external factors ensures durability.
- Linden - has low thermal conductivity, so it is excellent for finishing steam rooms in a bathhouse. Quite an economical option.
- Altai cedar is processed only by hand and is quite expensive. Provides good sound insulation, high performance properties, excellent appearance and a unique aroma.
- Oak is one of the best types of wood; it is dense, durable, and looks great. The only disadvantage of an oak block house is its cost.
The choice of block house, type for exterior work or interior decoration, is chosen depending on the purpose of the room and the cost expected by the end consumer.
