Most private house construction projects include verandas; they can be built-in or extended outside the building, that is, attached. This is an important part of the room that can be equipped to receive guests on the veranda, grow plants and use the extension for other purposes. Often there is no heating in this part of the building, so in order not to freeze on the veranda in winter period, it is necessary to insulate this room. It is important not only to insulate the veranda to retain heat in the room, but also to make this room as functional and attractive as possible. How to cover the veranda from the inside? Let's talk about the choice of building materials in more detail.

What is a veranda? This small room, most often attached to one of the walls of the house. The building is more intended for use in the warm season, so heating is not provided on the veranda. The veranda can be closed or open (under one roof, glazed or not). Naturally, the interior decoration will still have to be thought through, because it is impossible to leave this part of the building with bare walls. It’s good if the veranda complements the overall interior of the house, so it’s important to take into account all the nuances and choose suitable building materials.

Before you find out what you can use to cover the veranda from the inside, let’s get acquainted with the types of verandas:

combined veranda - you need to enter the house through the veranda (common main entrance). Or another version of a combined veranda, then you can get into this room from another room. You won't be able to go outside through the veranda.

When a veranda was not provided for during the construction of a house (this building is not included in the project), the owners decide to independently attach a veranda to the house or abandon this idea altogether. You can build a veranda yourself, you don’t need to invite construction team and punch a hole in the wall of the house, you can make an extension close to the main facade, directly in front front door, then there is no need to disturb the load-bearing wall and carry out heating.

What else needs to be considered when building a veranda:

The structure must be in harmony with the overall design of the house. For the reliability and stability of the extension, you will have to make a foundation. It is advisable that you have time to complete all the work before the onset of cold weather, so that the soil does not squat and the structure itself does not move away from the wall.
So as not to spoil general form, it is worth considering in advance what materials can be used to build a veranda.
It is advisable to build a columnar foundation (i.e. foundation) under the building in order to be sure that the veranda will “stand” firmly. The choice of foundation type is very important not only for this reason, because the extension will have to be sheathed from the inside. Often during the construction stage, owners of a private house or cottage are interested in what can be used to sheathe a cold veranda. The choice of materials is huge; it is important to choose a middle ground and take into account the load on the foundation.
If you want to build a large veranda, 2 or more meters long, then you will have to strengthen the foundation structure and make additional brick supports.

How can you cover the outside of the veranda? Popular materials are decorative rock, hollow decorative brick, lining, ceramic tile. It all depends on your budget and personal preferences. It is desirable that the veranda does not differ from the house itself.

To make the work go smoothly, you can sheathe the inside of the veranda in a few days, if you have the necessary finishing materials and tools.

To work you will need:

power tool: screwdriver, electric jigsaw, drill, hammer drill;
building level and plumb line;
pencil or marker, construction meter;
fasteners: screws, sockets for slats, staples, nails.

How to cover a veranda at the dacha. Review of materials

The interior decoration of the veranda can be made of various finishing materials. The choice depends on the dimensions of the room, purpose and microclimate. If heating is provided on the veranda, then you can cover this part of the building with plasterboard and stick wallpaper on top. But most often, owners of private houses have to choose materials for interior decoration unheated veranda. Therefore, it is very important that the material is not only attractive and in harmony with common interior residential building, but also met all the requirements. This is practicality and resistance to temperature changes.

What is the best way to sheathe a veranda:

MDF board.
Finishing PVC panels.
Wooden lining.

How to sheathe the inside of the veranda. Photo:

Popular finishing material for walls - these are MDF panels. The length of one slats or wide boards is from 2.5 to 3 m, the width is 15 or 30 cm. The hardware store offers a wide range of panels of different shades, you can choose finishing materials to suit every taste. By the way, the surface of the panels can be different: imitate stone, wood and other materials.

What are the advantages of this material:

Large selection of shades, plus noble appearance.
Practicality, which is very important for finishing unheated rooms. In addition to being resistant to moisture and temperature changes, the panels are easy to clean, and dust and dirt do not accumulate on the surface. Simply wipe the panel with a soft sponge or cloth soaked in soapy water.
Easy to install - huge advantage this finishing material. It is enough just to install the sheathing of slats, and then attach the panels.
Nice price - the cost of the panels is low, so everyone can choose an option that suits them.

Briefly describe the process MDF installation panels like this: first you need to attach them to the walls wooden slats(you can buy metal ones, but then the cost of covering the veranda will be higher). For the frame you can use the remaining construction material, the real owner always has a few materials in stock from which to build a frame. It is important to adhere to the size: the thickness of the slats should not exceed 2 cm, a width of 4 cm is sufficient.

You can attach wooden slats to nails to adjust uneven walls. Then you won’t have to bother with additional leveling of the walls and purchasing expensive materials.

To work, you will need a building level or plumb line so that the wall as a result of the cladding is level.

Each panel has a recess or groove, the first panel must be installed from the corner and fastened with screws, the second panel must be placed next to the first until it stops so that it fits into the recess and pushed until it clicks. The process of covering walls with panels does not take much time, it is fast and even interesting.

If you need to sheathe a window or doorway, you need to cut the panels. This is quite easy to do, you can use regular saw or an electric jigsaw.

Transitions on the floor and ceiling can be hidden using plinths. The main thing is to choose the right shade of the baseboard so that the veranda looks decent overall.

A wide selection of shades and textures of MDF panels allows you to turn any ideas into reality. A veranda covered with panels of different shades looks interesting, especially if you choose materials according to color. You can even select several zones: for relaxation, for eating, a corner for work, and so on.

PVC panels for interior decoration of the veranda

What else can you cover the veranda with? You can save money and cover the walls inside the extension with plastic panels. This finishing material perfectly adapts to increased humidity and temperature changes. PVC panels are an inexpensive and practical material. The cost of the panels is low, anyone can handle the installation, and caring for the panels is very easy. It is enough to wipe the walls with a slightly damp sponge. By the way, due to the ease of installation and inexpensive cost of this finishing material, PVC panels can be updated every 3-5 years, changing the appearance of the room. Let's say you like panels that imitate wood - you can try to make this room in eco-style. If you are tired of the “wood-look” walls, the panels can be easily replaced with new ones that imitate fabric, metal surfaces and even a natural stone. A wide selection of textures and shades, plus low cost and ease of installation - these are the main advantages of PVC panels. By the way, you can cover not only the walls on the veranda with panels, but also the ceiling.

To cope with the work yourself, you will need a wooden frame for the frame (size 30x20 mm or 30x10 mm). If there is no wood, then you can purchase a special profile (for fastening drywall). Please note that here you need to choose the material for the frame taking into account the type of veranda. If the walls protrude outward, then it is better to buy wooden slats, since the metal will act as a “cold bridge.”

The panels are attached to the frame using fastening material (screws or nails), only it is necessary to leave a small gap between the ceiling and the wall so that the board can “breathe”. A gap of 2-3 cm will be enough.

This finishing material has not only advantages, but also disadvantages: the panels are fragile, so if you accidentally hit the wall while bringing furniture onto the veranda, you can break the panels.

Advice: if you are planning to arrange a veranda as a summer dining room, then in order to prevent the backs of the chairs from deforming the walls of PVC panels, it is advisable to nail them to the wall at the level of the backrest additional protection. A decorative wooden board with a pattern or a board covered with a beautiful fabric looks beautiful. It will turn out beautiful and unusual, and the veranda will become your favorite place to relax.

Lining for covering the walls of the veranda

A solid wood board or lining is practical and durable. The material is not afraid of changes in moisture and temperature, retains heat well in the room, and is easy to clean.

The thickness of this lining is standard - 22 cm. You can attach the board yourself. You can completely sheathe the veranda from the inside wooden clapboard, both walls and ceiling.

What are the features of the lining:

the material is durable and resistant. He is not afraid of any mechanical loads or shocks;
practicality - you can sheathe the veranda once and not return to this issue for 15-20 years;
beautiful appearance and subtle woody aroma;
walls covered wooden planks– it’s not only beautiful, but also safe for people’s health. Wood is environmentally friendly pure material. As for safety, you need to understand that in the event of a fire, the lining will catch fire, even if the wood is impregnated with special compounds;
a large selection of lining shades and durability. Such walls will last for more than 20 years!

In construction supermarkets you can choose finishing materials to suit every taste and budget. Pay attention to a solid board; the cost of such material will be an order of magnitude higher than the price of a spliced board (consisting of several parts). This material is no different in appearance from a solid board and is suitable exclusively for finishing interior spaces. If your veranda is not heated in the cold season, then it is better to purchase a solid wood paneling. If these recommendations are ignored and the veranda walls are sheathed with cheaper material, then as a result of use and changes in temperature/humidity, cracks will begin to appear on the surface. Naturally, the appearance of such a room will no longer be as attractive as it was immediately after the renovation. And the strength of the finishing material is already in doubt.

For interior wall decoration, it is better to purchase a solid board of class “A”, “B” or “C”. This material is suitable for indoor wall cladding. The cost of such lining is lower than that of top-class finishing material; only on the surface you can see small nuances - dents and knots. Such boards are already impregnated special composition and treated with putty, so preliminary preparation not required. There is another marking for solid wood lining – “Extra” class. The cost of such material is high, but the quality is excellent.

When purchasing any finishing material, it is advisable to open the package in the store in order to compare the shade of the panels in each package and exclude defects.

You can also handle the work of covering walls and ceilings with clapboard yourself. You must first make a sheathing from wooden beam and attach the planks to the wall. The method of fastening the planks can be different: with nails, self-tapping screws (hidden fastening method), using a stapler.

After installation is complete, wooden walls need to be opened with varnish or treated with a special liquid with protection against penetration ultraviolet rays to extend the life of this material.

Finishing the veranda: choosing a combination of 9 types of materials

Living in your own home offers many benefits: fresh air, silence, the ability to leave the room directly into nature at any time. But all this is not given just like that; you have to organize comfort for yourself by arranging the house not only inside, but also outside. And even such a completely non-global task as decorating the inside of the veranda with your own hands forces you to spend a lot of money, and first study the materials that can be used for this.

In our current home the veranda is attached to the main entrance. In our future home, we want to make an exit to it from the kitchen-living room. Therefore, we are already thinking through finishing and design options.

Types of verandas

Unlike gazebos and terraces, the veranda has at least one common wall with the house, since it is attached to it or even built between two or three walls and has a common area with it.

On the one hand, this facilitates its construction, but on the other hand, it imposes restrictions on the freedom of choice of finishing materials. After all, you want the veranda finishing material not to be dissonant with the main structure, so that the house and its extension look, if not as one whole, then as a beautiful ensemble.

By design, a veranda in a private house can be open or closed.

Open only has a canopy(or placed under the roof of the house) and light fencing around the perimeter. Of course, you can feel comfortable on it only in the warm season and in good weather.
This great option for summer relaxation, the opportunity to admire nature and breathe fresh air without barriers. At the dacha, I would agree to such a decision. Or if this veranda was not the only recreation area.

Since home is our place permanent residence, then I only need a closed veranda, that is glazed or otherwise protected from slanting rains, cold winds and snowfalls. Plus it is insulated, but this does not apply to finishing.
Because you want to go out to breathe and admire the beauty at any time of the year, without experiencing discomfort. As well as sitting with friends over a glass of tea in an informal setting.

Thus, the issue with the design is resolved for me: either closed, or, if conditions allow, both. But with materials for construction and finishing - no.

Exterior decoration

The house will be wooden. Perhaps the finishing of the facades is still unknown. Therefore, I am considering all possible options.

1 – Tree

An ideal material that can be combined with any other and allows you to realize the most different design from Russian rustic with twisted pillars and carvings to modern with supports made of square beams.

Here are some example combinations:

Tree + tree;

Wood, glass, forged elements;

Wood and brick.

The only one, but significant the disadvantage of wood is its instability to precipitation and other weather and natural phenomena, including the sun's rays and bugs that love to chew on it and live in it. Well, there's a fire danger.

The instructions require processing construction wood with all kinds of fire retardant and antifungal impregnations, cover with paint and varnish compositions.

In my humble opinion, such treatment deprives the tree of its main positive property - environmental friendliness. In addition, it must be repeated periodically so that the structure does not lose its attractive appearance. And this makes me despondent due to natural laziness and the knowledge that there is enough to do in the house even without annual paintwork.

2 – Brick and stone

The foundation and supports that support the roof of the veranda attached to the house can be made of brick, stone or concrete. This design goes well with the main structure made of a similar material or plastered, lined with artificial stone, basement siding.

A similar extension to wooden building would look somewhat ridiculous and alien.

3 – Plastic

Plastic double-glazed windows, vinyl - all these and similar artificial materials They can withstand any weather disasters very well:

are not afraid of moisture,
frost,
heat,
practically do not fade from the sun.

And if you are deciding what to decorate the outside of the veranda with, so as not to think anymore about maintaining it in its original form, then preference should be given to them.

Plastic double-glazed windows themselves are supporting structure, and glazing. The option presented below is very convenient to use: such surfaces are easy to care for, the veranda closed windows and the doors become almost airtight, and it will last for many years.

But I don’t like its appearance; I would choose not white plastic, but a wood one. Or a completely transparent design, like this:

Another popular material is cellular polycarbonate. It can be either transparent or colored, which allows you to visually connect the veranda with the house into a single ensemble. In combination with metal frame, it is used to create a transparent or translucent canopy for open veranda, and as the main material for closed construction.

Soft windows. Another type of PVC materials. They represent a dense transparent film, edged around the perimeter durable material with mounting holes. Mounted on a frame, mostly wooden.
Soft windows are convenient because are not afraid of moisture and do not rot, they can be easily dismantled for the summer and returned to their place when bad weather arrives, By at will turning closed veranda openly and vice versa.

Vinyl siding. In my opinion, such exterior decoration looks good only if it is a continuation of the facades of the house. But I have a personal, inexplicable prejudice towards this material, associated solely with appearance.
Perhaps because there was too much of him around. But with a limited budget, I allow this option.

Looks much more solid basement siding like a stone or brick, besides, it is thicker and stronger than a wall one.

Wall and ceiling finishing

An equally important question is how to decorate the inside of the veranda. Especially for me, since it will be an extension of the living room. The choice is greatly simplified by the fact that the room will be closed and, if possible, insulated, which allows the use of materials that are not too resistant to moisture.

However, in conditions cold veranda some will still have to be excluded, leaving only those that will not be capricious due to changes in temperature and air humidity.

I'll start with flooring.

4 – Tile

There are many varieties of floor tiles; almost any can be used on the veranda. The main thing is that the surface is not slippery.

Concrete slabs, including paving and paving stones – perfect solution for extensions “on the ground”, without a foundation. It is not afraid of precipitation, does not slip, especially if made with the addition of stone chips, and is easy to care for.

Ceramic tile. Before finishing the floor with it, you need to make sure that the material is frost-resistant. Disadvantages: gets very hot in the heat and cools down in the cold.

Clinker tiles. Externally it resembles a brick due to its size and rectangular shape.

Porcelain tiles are high-strength tiles. To decorate the inside of the veranda, it is better to choose tiles with a rough surface rather than a polished one.

All of these coatings are remarkable in their operational and aesthetic characteristics, as well as durable and repairable - you can easily replace a cracked tile with another if you have a certain supply of material.

5 – Wood and composite coverings

Plank flooring is the most affordable, familiar, and easy to install material. All this is great, but I have the same complaints about it as I do about carriers wooden structures: the need to protect wood from insects, fire, moisture, etc.

I prefer decking or decking - composite material from wood waste and polymers. Externally, the coating cannot be distinguished from natural, but it is not at all afraid of moisture, is resistant to mechanical damage, and does not change its geometric parameters when humidity and air temperature change.

And if you have to choose what you can use to finish the floor on the veranda, terrace or gazebo, then I will give preference to decking.

To prevent the coating from slipping, its surface is often corrugated, as in the previous picture. But there are also smooth models.

By the way, a note to lovers of the classics: in addition to the traditional form in the form of a board, decking is also available in the form of parquet.

6 – Synthetic coatings

These include tiles made of PVC, rubber, rubber. Quite durable, non-slip, with a variety of designs, easy to install.

And self-leveling polyurethane floors are a solution that forms a continuous, seamless surface, consisting of a mixture of polymers with polyester and epoxy resins.

If the entrance to the veranda was only from the house, the floors inside could be finished with laminate or parquet board. But this is not our case, since access to the garden will be required. And this is dirt and moisture carried on shoes.

It remains to consider possible finishing for walls and ceilings.

7 – And again a tree

For the third time I will not express my complaints about lining, bolthouse, imitation timber, etc. wood finishing. Moreover, being inside and not directly in contact with dirt and water, it is much more acceptable on the ceiling and walls than on the floor or outside.

Let me just say that I like the option coated with matte or glaze paint much more, since the color natural wood, when there is so much of it, it evokes associations with a bathhouse or sauna.

Although a lot depends on the profile wall panel and technology for its fastening. For example, a plank made of ash or larch, mounted on a frame with small gaps, looks very original.

8 – Natural and artificial stone

Internal wall cladding with tiles and artificial stone is a fairly common move in interior design. He is very suitable for any Mediterranean style. You can also create one on the veranda if desired.

And natural stone goes well with outdoor oven or a fireplace built into one of the walls. It will also ensure fire safety.

9 – Wall panels

And again we return from wood panels to those similar in appearance, but completely different in characteristics, plastic and MDF.

Plastic panels – perfect material, if you are thinking about how to decorate the ceiling and walls of an open veranda. He's only afraid mechanical damage, especially during severe frosts . All others are negative natural factors he doesn't care.

MDF panels are afraid of moisture, as they contain wood particles, so they are only suitable for cladding interior walls and the ceiling of an extension closed from precipitation. And in appearance, unlike PVC panels, they also look more like wood.

Conclusion

I don’t yet know what my future veranda will look like, but some priorities regarding the choice of materials for its finishing have already emerged. Most likely, it will be continuous glazing with some decorative elements because I don't want a tree.

Decorating the inside of the veranda with plastic panels makes it too artificial, and the stone is difficult and expensive.

Of course, we need to think more, watch the video in this article again after we decide on a house. But the pros and cons of all options are already listed. Share your thoughts on this with me in the comments, maybe you know something else?

October 28, 2016

If you want to express gratitude, add a clarification or objection, or ask the author something - add a comment or say thank you!

People who plan to equip their home with a veranda or terrace often have a question: what material to use for cladding the structure? If we consider that the veranda is a fairly open room, the construction of which does not use insulation and waterproofing, the question can be considered relevant. The material used for cladding must be reliable, durable and safe.

Lining is environmentally friendly material used for interior decoration, which is why it is very popular today.

All these requirements are met by lining - a modern building material made from edged boards. Typically, the thickness of the lining does not exceed 22 mm, but there is also non-standard material that is thicker. As a rule, lining boards are used for interior decoration, but in some cases they can be used outside. For example, finishing the veranda.

Preparing for cladding work

When planning work, first of all it is necessary to decide on the method of attaching the lining elements to the structure. Today there are several of them:

The clamps do not need to be driven into the lining elements, which eliminates the possibility of damage and cracking of the boards.

Claymers are the most convenient and neat way in which finishing the veranda will be as successful as possible. This is explained by the absence of the need to drive foreign parts into the lining elements, which will completely eliminate the possibility of cracking and damage to the boards.
Paper clips construction stapler — quick way, which allows for sheathing to be carried out quite accurately, but there is damage to the boards, which significantly reduces their durability.
Nails or screws are the fastest way to fasten the sheathing, but at the same time they also have the most damaging properties to the lining. In addition, the risk of material damage is quite high.

If the master has great experience When working with clapboard, you can use nails. In this case, the finishing process will go as quickly as possible, and a well-trained hand will eliminate any shortcomings. In all other cases, it is recommended to use a method that is less traumatic to the material.

When the method of covering the veranda is determined, it is necessary to prepare necessary materials and tools. IN in this case you will need:

lining;
screwdriver;
fine-tooth saw;
hammer drill or drill;
building level;
beam;
fasteners for lining (clasps, nails, screws);
yardstick;
antiseptic compositions for processing lining;
stain, varnish or paint.

Coating the lining with an antiseptic is necessary to prevent it from rotting.

When choosing lining for covering a veranda, you need to pay attention to its length. So, if when carrying out finishing work in a room it is desirable to purchase the longest possible boards, then finishing the veranda requires the purchase of shorter material. This is explained by the presence large quantity window openings in this room. Short material is easier to adjust to the required size.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the type of wood from which the lining is made. Here the best choice would be boards made of pine, larch or aspen. They are suitable for both a cold terrace and a heated room.

Covering the premises with lining boards

As a rule, few owners build an insulated veranda; it is usually an open space intended for use in summer time of the year. This means that moist air from the street can easily penetrate onto the veranda. Therefore, all material used for finishing must be treated with antiseptic solutions to prevent the occurrence of mold and rot. This will significantly extend its service life.

If the climate in the region where it is located Vacation home, is different high humidity, it is more practical to use not wooden, but plastic lining or metallic profile. This will slightly increase costs Finishing work, but will also give the structure durability.

Features of the internal lining

The need to install sheathing depends on the design of the veranda. So, if the room is built of even and smooth boards, there is no need for lathing: the lining boards can be attached directly to the tree. If the structure is an open frame made of timber, it is necessary to create a base to which the lining will be attached.

For the lathing, bars with a cross section of 20x40 mm are selected. The bars are then attached to wooden frame. The beams, which will form the basis of the sheathing, are installed in the corners of the structure. Their verticality is checked using a plumb line. Then the beams are attached horizontally under the ceiling and along the floor line.

Subsequent actions depend on the method of fastening the lining boards. So, if the lining is nailed horizontally, the sheathing bars are fastened vertically along the walls in increments of 50 cm. When the lining boards are positioned vertically, the sheathing elements are nailed horizontally in increments of 50 cm.

The first element of the lining is nailed with a comb into one of the corners of the room. If clamps are used as fasteners, either special nails or screws can serve as fasteners. Claymers are put on bottom bar groove of the lining element and nailed to the sheathing. The next element of the lining, inserted with a ridge into the groove, covers the attachment point.

The interior decoration of the veranda is done in a similar way. After this, you need to move on to the exterior finishing.

A veranda is usually called an extension adjacent to one of the walls of the house. This building belongs to the category of summer, unheated premises.
By design, verandas can be either open, that is, under a roof, but not glazed, or closed. It is quite natural that the decoration inside the veranda is made depending on this fact.
Also, the configuration of the extension and its exterior decoration must harmoniously fit into the exterior of the house.

The veranda plays not only decorative function, but also necessary from a purely practical point of view. A well-lit room, without cabinet furniture, decorated with many indoor plants, perfect for a pleasant holiday in the summer.

So:

The veranda can be combined with the main entrance to the house. In some cases, the entrance to the veranda can be from any room, that is, it does not have access to the street.
This is exactly the veranda shown in the photo above. But such an extension must be provided for during the construction of the house.
If there was no veranda in the project, then it can be attached to the house later. But, so as not to have to break through a doorway in the load-bearing wall, this is done on the main facade, in front of the front door.
None engineering communications You won’t have to lead there, so you can build a veranda with your own hands.
Naturally, the extension should correspond as much as possible to the structure of the house. The main thing is to properly build the foundation for the veranda.
It is better to do this in the summer, otherwise, after thawing, the soil may sag and your veranda will simply move away from the wall of the house. Think carefully about what it will be built from and how the outside is finished so as not to spoil the appearance of the building.
Usually, a columnar foundation is made under the veranda. This is quite enough to support the weight of the frame and its cladding.
Brick pillars foundations are laid out in holes up to one meter deep, under each corner post. If the veranda is more than one and a half meters long, intermediate pillars are also made.

In the holes dug for the foundation, sand cushions are first arranged, about twenty centimeters high. Fine crushed stone is poured over the sand and poured liquid solution.
To ensure that the water from the solution does not go into the sand, before filling it with crushed stone, it is better to lay roofing felt with a bend of 10 cm along the walls of the pit.
The resulting concrete pad will serve as a support for brick column. Before laying it out, the concrete must be coated liquid glass, or bitumen.
Any other waterproofing composition will also work. The height of the pillars must be calculated so that the floor level of the veranda is 20-25 cm lower than in the house.
After the masonry is completed, the internal cavity columnar foundation filled with gravel, stone, broken brick- any available material. Outer surface The pillars are also coated with a waterproofing compound.
They will rest on the foundation pillars wooden beams(lags). Beams must be treated with an antiseptic solution before installation.
This will not only protect them from moisture saturation and rotting, but will also protect them from damage by insects and rodents.

This is just one of the options for constructing a foundation for a veranda. It may have a different design, depending on the size of the veranda under construction and its walls, if any.
In each specific case, you need instructions, and best of all, a project.

Veranda wall decoration

If the house to which the veranda is attached is made of logs, made of timber (see House made of timber: how the facade can be finished) or frame-panel, then the most organic option would be to make the walls of the extension from wood. Although, you can make a frame from a metal profile, and then simply cover it with clapboard.
Moreover, if the veranda is planned to be glazed.

So:

Then for this purpose you can use aluminum stained glass windows installed directly on the base of the veranda. Their use solves two problems at once: the construction of walls and their finishing, or rather, the lack thereof.
We washed the glass - that's all the finishing was done. All that remains is to decorate the base and intermediate racks: facing bricks, or, for example, a stone.
Such a problem as finishing verandas combined with the construction of walls can be solved with the help of glass blocks. This material is both constructive and decorative.
In addition, the country's construction markets offer a truly huge range of blocks: with corrugated glass, colored glass, frosted glass. There are block options with decorative appliqués in the inner cavity - it’s so beautiful!

Various types of glass blocks can be combined in any way you like, creating panels, making lighting. Of course, the price of such a veranda will be more expensive than that one, the walls of which are covered with plywood or plastic, but the beauty you will get in the end is worth it.
In the example we gave, the windows of the veranda are small and located high from the floor. But thanks to the light transmission of glass blocks, it is light on the veranda without additional lighting.

By the way, in this case, window openings could be made on the roof, in the manner skylights. In the construction of the walls of the veranda, you can combine both options mentioned above: one wall can be made of glass blocks, and the other two – from aluminum stained glass windows.
The fourth wall is bearing wall Houses. It will be decorated during the interior decoration of the veranda.

Wood in the decoration of the veranda

If the veranda is open, then the concepts of exterior and interior decoration are mixed. And most often, such verandas are made of wood: structural elements, and decorative.
So:

Of all the materials that can be used to build and decorate a veranda, it is wood that will create the most favorable environment for relaxation, saturating the air with its unique aroma.

The racks supporting the roof of the veranda can be made of rounded logs or timber with a cross-section of 15*15cm. In the very simple version, as in the example above, the floor of the veranda is made of ordinary edged boards, not even painted.
The ceiling is lined with standard clapboard, and the parapet is made of ordinary bars used for installing sheathing.
But many home owners do not want to save on finishing the veranda, and prefer to decorate this relaxation area, solidly and well, as they say, for centuries. For such cases, manufacturers of wood finishing materials will always have the right offers.
One of these options used today in exterior finishing is decking. Otherwise they call him terrace board.
This concept can also include garden parquet and deck boards.

It is made not from solid wood, but from wood composite. That is, it contains polymer additives.
But in this case, this only improves the characteristics of products that are very durable and are not afraid of moisture. And this is very important for both open space, and for closed, but not heated.
