For those who want to save even more, it is better to purchase from the LESOK lumber manufacturing company from Minsk. The online store has its own power-saw bench and, where the building material is carefully cut by specialists under the close attention of specialists, and equipped warehouses in which it is stored in compliance with technology.

And depending on the grade, the material is divided into finishing (grades A, AB), for painting (B, BC) and draft - for household buildings and for a different finish (C).
- suitable for any interior and at the same time friends with paint
The good old wall paneling was not considered bad taste before, but now that its new species have appeared, all the more so. Euro lining (wider lamellas, the joints have become narrower) and calm lining (joints are almost invisible - only barely noticeable recesses) are loved by the best world designers, businessmen and representatives of bohemia are eager to get it in their cottages. And the reason is simple: this stylish finishing material reveals a clean wood texture and does not require additional processing. Moreover, if you want, the interior can be changed to suit your mood: the lining holds paint well.
- easy to install (tongue-and-groove design),
The design of the tongue-and-groove is intuitive: fully insert the protruding element into the recess - and here the two panels are securely connected.
A great advantage of this connection is flexibility. The walls under the lining can be uneven, with tubercles and hollows: the finishing material will hide defects and, where necessary, will bend imperceptibly.
Let's be honest: 99% of people clad a bath with a lining, only to have the opportunity to enjoy the incredible coniferous smell, which reveals in a special way at high temperatures. It relieves headache, fatigue, helps fight stress and invigorates. Plus - kills bacteria.
It is the knots and resin pockets that “flow”, and it’s active only at the spruce. Pine varieties "Extra" and "A" practically do not cry, and if it gives tar, then only during the first floods. And in our baths there is no such high temperature, which is needed for tar tears. However, it is not recommended to take a pine lining for shelves and ceilings.
