This is a beautiful, environmentally friendly finishing material, which is made from natural wood. Made of dry planed board, it is used for exterior and interior decoration. Service life: 15-20 years, and when using various liquids for impregnation, which protect the wood from moisture, insects, direct sunlight, the service life is increased.
Improves the characteristics of the material the presence of special slots for ventilation, which do not allow condensate to accumulate on the wrong side. The adjacent planks are easily and tightly joined with the help of grooves and protrusions, deeper than with a conventional lining board.
Sizes of a traditional euro lining:
- length from 1 to 6 meters;
- work surface width (excluding groove) 88 mm;
- overall width 96 mm;
- thickness 12.5 mm.
Knowing the features, it is easy to distinguish it from ordinary lining:
- more complex profile;
- the presence of ventilation grooves;
- deep tongue-and-groove connection;
- preset humidity and high quality processing.
Production of eurolining
The modern production of this material consists of several stages.
- Taking into account the necessary parameters, an edged board is produced. On the band sawmill, the workpieces are sawn exactly according to the specified configuration. Use for this the cleanest parts of the tree, which are located between the bark and the core of the trunk.
- Drying is an important step, correctly performed, it guarantees the geometric stability of the material. During this stage, all microorganisms that have fallen on the wood are destroyed, excess moisture is removed, which facilitates further processing; wooden lining has a moisture content of 8-10%.
- When the workpieces have reached the required moisture level, they are planed to “clean” on the front side, and the chamfers are removed. The boards become perfectly even and smooth.
The presence and absence of disadvantages allows you to determine the grade of the material. All three varieties, 1, 2 and 3, go through one technological cycle and are made from one batch of wood. Finished products are sorted in accordance with existing standards according to this criterion: during drying and processing, flaws of the wood can appear - blue, light and dark knots, falling knots.
Types of wood
The best properties are wood from larch, pine, cedar, spruce and aspen. High-quality lumber is produced from these materials.
Softwood flooring is suitable for both external and internal decoration, of hardwood - only for interior decoration.
- Aspen has light wood, aspen lining is light, strong, does not crack.
- Pine wood of medium density, heavy, has a reddish-yellow color, darkens slightly over time. Treated with special compounds, pine lining is well resistant to fungal damage, and is resistant to woodworm insects. Pine wood glues well, connects with nails and screws, stains and stains well.
- Larch has a color from light yellow to reddish brown, larch lining is durable and not prone to warping. Resistant to weather conditions.
- Cedar wood is durable and valuable, cedar euro lining has a very decorative look and pleasant smell with therapeutic properties.
- Spruce has light yellow wood, spruce lining is durable, easy to process and stain.

Finishing Benefits
- Natural wood is harmless, suitable for decoration of rooms and buildings for any purpose.
- Forming a special microclimate in the room, the material absorbs excess moisture and retains heat in the room.
- It has soundproofing properties.
- Great price range. Inexpensive wood, the presence of minor defects in the form of knots allows you to choose the perfect option for a room of any size.
- Easy installation thanks to perfectly even sides, tongue-and-groove connection.
Finishing material having dark knots, if desired, is painted with opaque paints. Installation is carried out using kleimers - brackets made of galvanized steel or special nails.
