Houses made of foam concrete requirespecial interior decoration of the building. Finishing walls from foam blocks requires compliance with technology, otherwise all work will become unusable. A special feature of this material is its low moisture resistance, with the increase of which improper wall finishing leads to reproduction of fungus and mold on the walls. The porosity of aerated concrete allows moisture to freely penetrate through the pores and microcracks, destroying it with time. 
Wrong wall finishing from foam concrete leadsto the reproduction of mold and fungus on the walls. To prevent these negative consequences for the building, it is necessary to conduct a thorough waterproofing. The porous structure of foam concrete is characterized by low density. Because of this, the usual fasteners used for interior decoration, can not be firmly fixed in the wall. To work with the structure of the frame requires special dowels for foam concrete, which are available. The smooth surface of the foam concrete containing foam additives does not retain the plastering compositions, and the interior decoration of the walls requires mandatory reinforcement. All these features of walls from foam blocks force to use special technologies, and this increases the cost of interior decoration.

Technology of wall finishing from foam blocks with plasterboard
For wall finishing, you can use the facingbrick. When preparing to begin waterproofing works, they stop their choice either on the waterproofing film or on the primer, which is a good insulating medium. Stitches between blocks shpaklyuyut to exclude drafts. If the external walls are planned to be plastered or tiled, then the inside of the house is heat-insulated. Apply for this foil mineral wool. It is best for walls of cellular concrete suitable basalt or fiberglass wool in the form of plates. They are more convenient to mount on the wall. When laying the heater from the aluminum profile mounted skeleton, in the cells of which is laid insulation. The width of the plates corresponds to the profile pitch or wider by one to two centimeters. Then the heater completely fills the frame space. Plates of mineral wool are laid with foil inside the room and fixed to the wall with glue. Then on the frame mount the sheets of drywall. Such a wall can be pasted with dense embossed wallpaper, which can be painted. Then the surface of drywall does not shpaklyuyut. Stop on the fact that carefully seal the seams between the sheets. If the option with wallpaper for painting is not suitable, then GKL shpaklyuyut throughout the area, after drying, level with sandpaper and paint. If possible, carry out other necessary finishing works. 
Walls made of foam concrete insidefinish with plaster. There is one more variant of work with gypsum cardboard, when a wooden frame is used for interior finishing. It is the cheapest and most practical option available to cover internal walls with drywall sheets. From it you can perform all internal partitions, filling it for soundproofing with special seals. Before the construction of the wooden frame, a vapor barrier is placed on the wall, which preserves heat. The use of an insulating film for internal insulation of walls protects the heater from the steam and condensate on the outside of the house. It protects plasterboard structures from moisture arising in heated rooms due to temperature differences. This film is recommended in all types of enclosing structures. It is used with all types of insulation from fiberglass, basalt wool, expanded polystyrene, foam concrete. When installing the frame, leave a distance of at least 5 cm between the foam concrete wall and the plasterboard, so that the walls are ventilated. Wooden bars are fastened with special dowels.

Which dowels are suitable for interior decoration?
For foam concrete it is necessary to use specialmetal dowels. The choice of the necessary dowels is the crucial moment for interior finishing. Without them, all the fastenings on the wall will not hold and all the trim will fall off. Two types of this fastener are common. They can be made of metal or plastic. One kind of dowels for a foam block requires a pre-prepared hole in the wall, the other - screwed without drilling. Mounts made of plastic are suitable for most construction and installation works. They are not subject to aging and wear, and they are most often used to attach light objects of everyday life to the walls of foam blocks. Their size is selected depending on the type of product and load. The recommended diameter is from 4 to 12 mm. The metal dowel is used with increased fire safety requirements. It is equipped with 4 spacer segments, and external teeth increase its bearing capacity, it is used for fixing various building structures. After the frame is ready, it is fastened with sheets of plasterboard and shpatlyuyut walls, as usual. On the finished walls can be glued wallpaper, they on this material will look great.

Before starting work, the walls are covered with a water-repellent primer. Then, with the help of special dowels, the reinforcing mesh is fixed and on its basis the plastering of the wall surface is done. The work is done with a plaster-based plaster mixture, which allows the application of a thick layer. After complete drying, the wall shpaklyuetsya, leveled and covered with finishing materials. It can be a tile or paint on a silicate or silicone base. They have a higher vapor permeability and will last for a long time on the wall after application. Back to contents</a>
Finishing of walls from foam concrete
Finishing methods are applied already onfinished walls. For cosmetic finishing can use different materials. Each of them has its own specifics in the work. One of these materials can be cork slabs. Cork requires that the walls are ideal. The base of the wall must be dry and clean, free of defects, and quality plastered. Before starting to finish the walls, the plug is kept for about 24 hours at room temperature in unpacked form. Walls before laying are treated with a deep penetration primer, after which, using a special glue, cork plates are glued on them. For finishing works, cladding or other decorative panels can be applied. Use as a finishing lining requires treatment with antiseptic and finishing material, and laths from the bars. Fastening of this finishing material is made by special clamps, firmly fixing the cladding on the frame. Between the lining and the wall is laid insulation and steam insulation is arranged. In the process of finishing, it is necessary to provide wiring. To preserve the appearance, the lining is treated with lacquer. Interior decoration from the foam blocks can be made with wooden panels. The finishing technology is the same as that of the lining. The choice of any option of finishing depends on the wishes of the owner of the house and its financial possibilities. Correctly finished house, built of foam concrete blocks, will last as long as it is made of other materials.
