This is the answer to the question How to attach imitation beams to the old wooden cladding?
Revision 1
Let me tell you about my experience. Began cladding last year, 21 mm, imitation wood, all good, but over the winter, some imitation dried out, as a result of grooves in some places so dried out that the bottom board ripped out the tongue, but not critical
The scheme for himself did so.
1. Paint the board before cladding.
2. Due to the fact that the board is not thick enough board made frame every 30 cm, the lath 20-40, with burlap nails
3. Fasten the finishing nails two in each post, and be sure to the joints (joints 45 degrees)
4. All the cuts and notches necessarily blot with sealant for the ends, the board will not absorb moisture and will be less mobile – but still will dry out.
