Interior decoration with birch bark panels Automatic translate

Eco-friendly finishing materials made from natural raw materials will always be in demand. Manufacturers are constantly looking for new opportunities to obtain new products intended for finishing residential premises. One of the most successful discoveries in recent years has been birch bark panels - an original and harmless material for wall decoration.

Birch bark panels can be used to finish a wide variety of surfaces (ceilings and walls), but on the market they are positioned mainly as wall panels. With their help, you can create a harmonious atmosphere in the room, in which the living force of nature is present.

These products are made from real birch bark, which is glued to a thick cardboard base using environmentally friendly glue. Their service life can be about 25 years, which is quite respectable for finishing materials made from natural raw materials.

Advantages of birch bark panels:

• naturalness of patterns and shades;
• a pleasant aroma improves the atmosphere in the room. The panels are made from birch bark collected in the spring, since it retains the maximum useful substances during this period;
• the panels have a pattern that never repeats, which increases creativity, improves mood and helps the eyes relax;
• birch bark panels have a positive effect on the psyche, even if you look at them for just a couple of minutes;
• the durability of the products makes it possible to obtain wear-resistant surfaces;
• the panels repel dirt, do not absorb moisture, therefore do not require special protection and are very easy to maintain;
• the noise insulation characteristics of the room increase after finishing the walls with similar products;
• ease of installation is an important advantage of this material. Installation does not require leveling the base or dismantling the previous covering (for example, wallpaper will not interfere with the installation of panels). There is no need to adjust the pattern, since, unlike the pattern on plastic panels, it is not repeated.

Birch bark is characterized by excellent antimicrobial properties. It has been observed that food products last longer in birch bark containers. This is explained by the rich content of phytoncides in the tree bark, substances that destroy pathogens. The effect of purifying the air in the room is observed even when only one wall or a small area on the wall is decorated with birch bark panels.

Installation of birch bark panels is very simple, so the work can be entrusted to craftsmen with low qualifications. A high-quality installation can be performed if the following rules are observed. Before installing these products, you should remove any remaining mortars, adhesives, paints, and oil stains from the surfaces. If there is wallpaper glued to the walls, which adheres very firmly, then it is completely acceptable to leave it. The glue is applied first to the birch bark panel, and then to the surface to be tiled. Then the panel is applied with strong pressure to the wall, pressing on it for several seconds. If you need to cut the panels, you can use a construction knife. For a more attractive finish, you can combine birch bark panels with wooden elements.

Perhaps, many buyers will find birch bark panels too expensive. But no one forces you to cover all the walls in the house with them. Sometimes it is enough to decorate just one small area in the room, for example, around the sleeping bed or in front of the desk. For such purposes, several panels are enough, which is quite accessible to any consumer.
