Materials for interior decoration of a country house made of aerated concrete

In addition to the traditional building material from which residential buildings are built, recently they began to use for this purpose a more economical and affordable material - aerated concrete.

At the same time, the interior decoration of a house made of aerated concrete is simply necessary in it. It is carried out with various materials, taking into account their small individual nuances and general characteristics.

Interior decoration of aerated concrete house

Thus, unlike such materials for houses as brick or wood, aerated concrete buildings are in dire need of interior decoration, because it absorbs moisture very strongly and is subject to rapid destruction. In order to avoid such troubles, it is necessary to competently and competently carry out in such a house not only hydro, vapor barrier, insulation, but also, accordingly, interior decoration.

In general terms about what aerated concrete is

Before you start to make the interior decoration of a small house (in most cases, suburban) from aerated concrete, you need to familiarize yourself in general terms with what is aerated concrete.

Characteristics of aerated concrete blocks

Outwardly, it is a white, rough, with a relief coating, artificial stone of the correct parallelepid shape. This building material belongs to aerated concrete, in which there are small pores. At the same time, the formation of characteristic pores in it is facilitated by a special additive from gas-forming agents mixed into the main composition of aerated concrete.

Advantages of aerated concrete blocks

In this regard, of all the parameters declared by the manufacturer, positive ones can be distinguished, namely:

Strength and reliability of the material.

It can be easily drilled, planed or sawed, that is, it can be retrofitted by inserting new parts into it using standard steel tools.

Ergonomics and long service life.

Low weight, which allows you to save on the construction of an expensive building foundation, which is very important.

Aerated concrete is a durable and reliable material

In addition, aerated concrete has good thermal insulation qualities, although its composition is still concrete. It should be noted that these qualities are enough to maintain the required temperature regime throughout the structure.

Aerated concrete has good thermal insulation qualities

The composition of high-quality and real aerated concrete includes components such as cement, water, lime, quartz sand and, most importantly, aluminum paste. It is believed that pure aluminum paste is harmful to humans.

Aerated concrete is considered an environmentally friendly building material

However, due to the fact that these particles dissolve in the production process on high-tech factory equipment, aerated concrete can be safely considered a completely environmentally friendly building material.

Aerated concrete has increased vapor permeability

Perhaps its only drawback (of aerated concrete) can be called increased vapor permeability, but this is not such a big minus of aerated concrete. To solve this problem, simply thoroughly thought out and then made with the clever steam and thermal insulation of external surfaces, as well as the interior decoration of the suburban

private residential building made of aerated concrete.

Aerated concrete is lightweight

Modifications of interior finishes of aerated concrete houses

Today, the main options for interior decoration of aerated concrete houses that are in demand and recommended by construction specialists are as follows:

Scheme of interior decoration of a wall with clapboard

Lining - made of wood, MDF or plastic. Proven over the years and by more than one generation, very practical (in terms of finishing work) lining has proven itself to be the most profitable and convenient facing texture, which has both aesthetic and very economical positive aspects. Interior decoration of a house made of aerated concrete with wood is considered an ergonomic and generally available option for the construction of various buildings (both residential and non-residential).

Facing tiles for interior decoration of aerated concrete houses

Facing tiles - brick, artificial or natural stone, wood, etc.d. Clinker cladding, designed for both external (facade) decoration and internal decoration, looks very beautiful and elegant in a house made of aerated concrete. Such decoration of premises from the inside and of the entire structure as a whole, in addition to its aesthetic purpose, very successfully performs protective heat-insulating, noise-insulating and other functions.

Plasterboard for interior decoration of aerated concrete houses

Gypsum plasterboard is a universal modern building material, which is a slab (sheet) gypsum on a mineral basis, covered with several layers of thick paper on both sides. The interior decoration of a house made of aerated concrete with plasterboard is convenient in that it can be decorated without any special problems on its own and at a minimum cost, and will also provide a huge range of possibilities (i.e.e. fantasies in the interior of the room) during its further operation.

Wall marking scheme for drywall

In addition, lesser-known building materials such as siding, block house, natural or artificial stones are used for interior decoration of premises in a house built of aerated concrete.

Do not lose sight of another such important point as plaster mortar, which in any case is applied to the surface of the walls, regardless of the choice of material for interior decoration of the house made of aerated concrete. Since a prerequisite when working with these materials is a smooth surface of walls, ceilings, etc. with a sufficient level of thermal insulation.d.

The specifics of finishing work in a house made of aerated concrete

For those who decided that the interior decoration of a house made of aerated concrete with drywall is optimal and acceptable for him, it is necessary at least in general terms to know what list of works it includes.

Interior decoration of aerated concrete house with wood

So this:

Preparing the surface of a house made of aerated concrete for plastering, that is, all internal protrusions and irregularities are rubbed and leveled using a primer in several layers.

Wall plastering scheme

Mixing application - plaster. For example, in living quarters for this purpose, compositions of a non-moisture-resistant consistency are used, but for bathrooms and toilets with a high degree of humidity, on the contrary, the waterproofing protective layer is first processed, and then a moisture-resistant solution is applied.

Pulling plaster on beacons

Re-application (if necessary) of the fixing layer of the leveling compound after the previous main layer of plaster has dried.

Smoothing or sanding the surface to a perfectly smooth and even state.

Scheme of filling the seams of drywall panels

Application of a decorative layer, in this case drywall, to the prepared walls and other surfaces of the building (house), which is then very convenient to transform, achieving the desired result.

To view the various possible options for how the interior decoration of a house made of aerated concrete with plasterboard looks like, the video below will help.

Types of plasters by composition

Unlike working with drywall, the interior decoration of a house made of aerated concrete with wood looks much easier in stages, but it also costs several times more. Wood trimming does not include a difficult, but in any case, a deliberate action, such as the usual fixing of wooden elements with the help of profiles or nails on the primed surfaces of the premises inside the building.

Living room interior in aerated concrete house

The main thing to remember is that when working with drywall or wood, however, and any other facing material in a house made of aerated concrete, vapor-permeable elements used inside the room should be similarly applied from the outside of the building. Since for aerated concrete, two-sided vapor and moisture resistant protection is very important. Only in this case, the building will serve its owner for a long time and with maximum efficiency. Good luck!
