The main association with the word garage is a place where it is not very clean and smells of gasoline. But thanks to modern materials, the garage can be transformed without putting any effort into it.

Thanks to the correct finishing of the garage, you can make not only a cozy atmosphere, but also create such a room design that will correspond to the direction of its use. This may depend on many factors, such as how many floors the garage will have. It also depends on how far from the house it will be and whether it is a built-in garage below the house, located in the basement or a separate building.

The modern market is a great opportunity to choose materials for decoration. They can be purchased at any price that suits the person and select the option that is suitable for finishing the room.With the help of selected materials, you can hide all the deficiencies, as well as transform a place for a car beyond recognition.

The floors in the garage must be able to withstand very large loads. It is necessary to pay special attention to the decoration of the walls. It must withstand any shocks, as well as be resistant to various influences. The headliner must be made of a material that is resistant to evaporation.

You also need to pay attention to what should be the materials themselves. The decoration of the room must be fire resistant.. Indeed, in the garage are flammable substances and there is a risk of fire. It is also necessary that the lining is resistant to chemical elements.. It should not be sensitive to humidity and sudden temperature changes, especially if the room is not heated. Finishing materials should have a long service life, as well as aesthetic appearance.

There are many materials that can be used to finish the garage. Covering can be done as a professional sheet, clapboard, drywall, stone. To determine which one fits best, you need to look at them in more detail.

Most often used for such premises is concrete. After all, he holds out better than others on walls made of brick or aerated concrete. It has great strength, is not afraid of fire, if necessary, on the concrete surface, you can easily carry out repair work.

But like any material, concrete has disadvantages. Its installation is laborious work, which consists in the preparation of the solution, as well as its application. It is necessary to possess certain skills in finishing work. Their absence can lead to cracking of the surface or even peeling of concrete. The second drawback is that such a process is considered dirty work, so at the end there will be a lot of cleaning, which not everyone wants to mess around with.

The interior finish of the garage room can be done with the help of drywall. To attach it, you can use a special glue. If the surfaces have irregularities or it is necessary to warm the room, you can attach it using a metal frame.However, this option will take a little space and the room will decrease in size. For the garage it is better to take fire-resistant and moisture-resistant drywall, having a gray-green color and red marking.

GKLVO has many advantages. These include relatively low weight, ease of installation, low price. Compared to other materials, the room remains clean during finishing with sheets, and after it is finished, there is no need to spend a lot of time on cleaning. The material also absorbs moisture well. From it, if there is a need, you can make partitions mounted with an iron frame, and organize a workshop or a small warehouse.

This material is ideal for the garage. After all, high-quality tiles are water resistant and fire resistant. It makes the room tidy due to the fact that it is washed by any means and cleaned in just a couple of minutes.

If the tile is properly put, it will withstand any load, and also will last for a long time.

The lining of the room clapboard is very popular. It may consist from a natural tree. Surfaces can also be finished with PVC panels or with OSB sheets.. This material is easy to install. If we consider wood panels, they also have many advantages. Among the advantages include a long service life, resistance to frost, environmental friendliness, a large selection of colors.

However, without the drawbacks can not do. Wood panels are prone to insect attacks, highly flammable, and also susceptible to the appearance of mold, also have a high price.

The advantages of plastic panels include such qualities as low weight, the ability to tolerate temperature changes, the ability to carry out installation work with their own hands without the involvement of specialists. Also, these panels have a low price and a large selection of colors.

The disadvantages include the fact that they are flammable and very fragile.

OSB sheets consist of layers of wood shavings that are large in size. For bundles, resin needles from pine needles or formaldehydes are used.

Sheets are divided into several types. OSP-3 is of high quality and has high moisture resistance. but OSP-4 is considered more durable, besides, it can be used for interior and exterior decoration. He is not afraid of changes in temperature, has a long service life, good sound insulation. However, it also has a strong flammability.

A completely new type of finishing material - plates made of PVC or rubber. They can be laid not only in the garage, but also on the site adjacent to it.

Modular plates have a lot of positive feedback. They can withstand any, even very low temperatures, are easy to install, have high strength. Installation is performed using special glue.

Most often, this material is used to finish the brick room outside. Coverage siding gives even the old building beauty and appeal. Recently, however, it began to be used for interior decoration of garages, because it has many advantages.

For this the first step is to level the ground with sand and rubble. Then a layer of waterproofing layer is applied. For these purposes, suitable roofing material. It must be laid overlapped so that the moisture of the concrete solution could not get into the ground. On top of the ruberoid, you can put reinforcing mesh for a more durable screed.

The next step is the installation of beacons, which is done by level. This will make the floor smooth. Then a concrete solution is prepared and poured onto the floor. Its components are very simple and widely available. It is ordinary sand, cement and crushed stone, whose proportions are 2: 1: 3 respectively.Everything is filled with water to get a solution of medium thickness. To facilitate the work, you can use a concrete mixer.

Fill must be done at once, so that the floor does not have cracks and is solid. The screed must be at least ten centimeters thick.. At its end, you need to level the surface well with the help of a building level. The drying process can last up to one month..

After this time, you can begin to finish concrete. For this suitable moisture resistant paint or marble chips. Ceramic, paving or clinker tiles that can withstand any load will be the ideal coating. Before laying it, it is necessary to treat the concrete coating with a primer., not allowing to absorb moisture from the glue, and only then proceed to laying tile.

If the floor requires insulation, you must make the flooring of the boards. For this, wooden lags are laid on top of the concrete. The space formed between them should be covered with expanded clay or polystyrene. If there is a basement or cellar in the garage, then a loose insulation is poured in and a reinforcing mesh is placed on top.This is done for additional insulation of the basement ceiling.

There is also a self-leveling floor. It is a very durable coating and is not inferior to anything in concrete. The main advantage is a completely flat surface. Its only drawback is the high cost. Therefore, most still prefer the concrete surface.

Wall cladding in a garage is more labor intensive than laying the floor. To finish them, you can use materials such as drywall, tile, OSB, wall paneling, and plaster.

The most affordable option is considered to be plaster walls.. After all, it can be used not only to level the surfaces, but also to protect them from fire or temperature changes. This type of finish will suit walls made of foam blocks or aerated concrete.

If the ceiling is made of wood, then you need to use a waterproofing film that is easy to install and also is inexpensive. For the concrete ceiling suitable special waterproof plaster. After that, the insulation is chosen, which not only makes the garage room warmer, but also prevents the appearance of condensation inside. This will keep the machine and the tools in the room in good condition.

The best way to do this foam. It is moisture resistant as well as cheaper compared to mineral wool. However, this material is afraid of the sun's rays, and also easily ignites. The cheapest form of insulation is a solution consisting of straw and clay.. He quickly fits, he is not afraid of fire. The only drawback is that it is too popular with rodents.

There are many options for covering the facade of the garage room. The most common are siding, wooden paneling, sandwich panels..

To install such walls, you need to mount starting bars on the base of the base, which will be the basis of the frame. Before this, it is necessary to lay waterproofing on the base of the plinth. Then you need to attach the bars to the concrete with anchors at a distance of one to one and a half meters.

Then the installation of the remaining elements of the frame is done, with all the wooden surfaces to be treated with a special composition. After the completion of the installation work, you can proceed to the lining of the outer side, which must be completed with a gap for ventilation.

Covering can be done with wooden clapboard. This material is environmentally safe, however it constantly needs to be treated with antiseptics so that it remains durable and of high quality. And it will not be too economical.

This will protect the walls from mold and mildew. And this often happens in an unheated room.

If there is a basement in the room, then it will be enough to build a ladder with a slight slant, which will make it possible to carry out repair work. If there is none, then when arranging the inspection pit it is necessary to take into account the level at which the groundwater is located.
