At times and for different reasons, we take our interior walls to look the beauty of the wood and give a different climate to stay special. As we say, one option is to provide a stay of a different climate, creating an atmosphere more in keeping with a rustic style, or elegant but warm. Another alternative in the use of wood veneers to hide damp patches, covering the entire surface of a wall, or a height of 60 centimeters to one meter.

Coating Types
The alternatives to the traditional tongue and groove slats are cork, vinyl siding, wallpapers and even imitation. If the natural wood in sheets or plates are molded or cut in special shapes according to the manufacturer.

The Grain patterns and colors of wood
The election marked a vein, such as pine, will create a more rustic atmosphere in a timber trucks more uniform climate produces a more serious and modern.

As for colors, dark climates create more elegant, distinguished, light colors and a more familiar environment and bright. It is important to note the color on the interior lighting of each room.

Orientation Plates
In the case of the slats in place an entire wall horizontally, the wall looks wider and lower than normal. Vertically, visually we grow up and is to display narrower, useful for low ceilings, but if the blades are too wide may not be very effective indeed. A more difficult form of location, at the time of placement but very decorative, is in diagonal form.

The Glossy Varnish Layer
Apply varnish to the wood will protect against moisture and prevent stains. You are further highlights the wood and flower colors. The brightness depends on the style and tastes. The matte finish is generally used in rustic interiors. The shiny satin and can be more elegant (if accompanying the wood) and washable.

In the absence of paint, prepare the new color will not be identical to the previous, making it impossible to review the details that we have been. If we prepared the same color, but with different brand will surely be a change of tone. If the paint on, we lose money, and though we keep, we do not often use. The water-based paint is usually decay over time. and oil as synthetic enamels and varnishes dry.

As the calculations
To begin, measure the surface to be painted by multiplying the height by the width or base to obtain the square footage of each wall or flat paint. This rectangular surfaces, for example:

2.5m high x 4m = 10m2 surface base

Triangular wall or roof slope with a strong measure to half its height and multiply by the meter base. For example: 4-meter wall base with a side of 2 meters and a 4-meter

Basic 4m x 3m = 12m2 surface height

After the calculation of the areas we need to know when it yields the paint we use. In all packaging indicates an estimated yield per liter by hand. Keep in mind that a quality paint more than an economic yield. Moreover, the surface is very much in the paint rough walls can pay half or less than indicated on the package. Remember that the application of fixative sealant or similar material increases performance.

Usually the pay wall paintings:
- 10 m2 per liter with quality paints
- 6 to 4 m2 per liter in rough and textured finishes
- 5 m2 per liter economic paintings
- 12 m2 per liter of synthetic enamels

Once the paint surface calculated by adding all partial areas of all walls, divided by the redeeming of painting, and multiply it by the number of hands. For example:

(Wall 40m2 / 10m2 of output per liter) x the number of hands needed

(40 / 10) x 2 = 8 gallons of paint

Discount is not recommended because doors and windows should always be some paint left over, if performance turns out to be smaller than the package indicates, besides the greater absorption of the wall during the first hand with respect to the following.

Paper is usually placed on every wall of a room, but it is also possible to opt for alternatives, combined with painted walls or other coverings. For this we papering just one wall or to a certain height as a base, to approximately 80 centimeters in height.

Here are two ways to calculate the amount of paper an entire room:

Form 1, the square footage
We measure the area to cover, wide and high, in the case of wallpapering an entire room width we take the sum of all its walls and multiply by the high middle of the room. Example:
Height x width = area of walls
2,30 m x (4m + 5m + 4m + 5m) = surface of the walls
2,30 m x 18m = 41.40 m² approximately
Now, multiply the length of the paper width. depending on the type of the same manufacturer and find different measures. Consider the following: a roll of 10 meters long and 60 centimeters wide.
Length 10m x 0.60 m width = 6m ² covers the role
This is what each roll yield. Then divide the room area by the area covered by a roll room: 41.40 m² / 6 roll = 6.9 m² rolls. This means that we need 7 rolls of paper to cover the room in our example.

Form 2, Number of Strips (recommended)
In this second way we are certain that we cut strips that cover the top of the wall and not what we have to do with scraps. Maybe we occupy more paper but we will get concrete results and a good finish.
Divide the length of a roll of paper through the top of the room. This gives us the number of strips that will yield a full roll.
Example:
Roll length / height of room = Number of throws per roll
10 meters / 2.30 meters = 4.34 strips

Therefore we conclude that a roll yield 4 strips, and on more than 30 inches for small areas such as under and over windows or doors. Then divide the perimeter of the room by the width of the strip. Continuing with our example:
Perimeter of the room / width of the strip = number of strips
18 meters / 0.60 meters = 30 strips
divided by the number of strips per roll (4.34) or rather 4
30 strips / = 7.5 rolls
need 7 rolls and a half, or more exactly 8 rolls of paper.

Other recommendations
- In these calculations can deduct doors and sales, although the process may be somewhat more complex, but is easier to do so by the second form.
- Please note that the paper is usually placed usually mounted a few inches, so in a 53 cm wide should be considered only 50. This is used even more in corners where you have to “step on” another paper about 10 centimeters.
- The strip can (or must) cut some centimeters longer than the height of the wall above 5 up and down, cutting off the excess with a cutter and a ruler at the time of placement for not branding the measures.
- Try to acquire all the paper once, to avoid color variation in the different items.
- If you are new placement is always advisable to buy some others because you can waste a few strips.
