Advantages of using clamping staples
When a building’s walls are covered in wool, mounting building materials with the aid of claymakers is far more practical and secure. When nails are used for such purposes, there is a risk that the building material will develop surface cracks that allow moisture to seep in and cause the paneling to deteriorate. There is a much lower chance of these negative outcomes if you use Kleimers to secure the panel.
This type of fastening also has the major benefit of being completely invisible, leaving the wall looking quite nice because it is free of unsightly metal objects.
It is fairly easy to fix the lath panel using plates for this purpose as special tools are not needed. In this instance, removing the cladding is not difficult, and there is very little chance that the building material will be harmed.
The metal staples, known as klyaimerov, have a long lifespan because they are resistant to corrosion and do not rust.
Mounting of battens with clips
Prior to beginning the process of mounting the battens on the slats, make sure that the necessary number of fasteners is specified and that the necessary tools are available. You will need a hammer, construction level, angle, and tape measure if the wagon is to be mounted on the claymer using nails. The other tools are the same as in the first instance, but a screwdriver or screwdriver is required if self-tapping screws are used.
For every square meter of building material, there should be at least 20 fasteners.
It is crucial that the wall be straight when installing this building material because any curvature will make it impossible to correctly install the building material’s panels. The cladding will have hollows and bumps that degrade its quality.
A picture of this type of cladding is provided.
The building of a frame is a prerequisite for installing wagging in order to prevent the issues listed above. It is composed of wooden bars or metal profiles. Wooden purlins have a limited lifespan, but they can last a lot longer if they are treated with antirotinous materials.
Completely fasten the kleymers by screwing two or even three self-tapping screws (nails) into each one. If you break this guideline, you may eventually run into issues like surface deformation.
You can watch this video to learn how to use claymers to prepare your hands for the installation of waving.
The surface must be marked as well. The direction of the panels is taken into consideration when marking the staples. The distance between the fasteners and the panel width is the same if the lath is fastened vertically. The sticks are fastened nearly to the floor in the horizontal direction of the building material slats. It is easy to hammer a nail or screw in a screw thanks to the placement of these components.
The following is how the building material is horizontally fastened:
- The starter strip of the building material is inserted into the hook of the kleimers.
- The second plank is inserted into the ridge of the first one and is fastened with a klyaimer.
The algorithm for vertical installation is as follows:
- The end, where the ridge of the lath is located, is pressed against the wall.
- Plates are inserted into the groove and fastened with hardware.
The last slat can be cut to the necessary size regardless of which way the wagon is laid.
It is imperative that it be sufficiently snug to accommodate the opening.
You can watch the video to get specific instructions on how to install wainscoting using your hands and fastening plates.
Installation of purlins
The purlin installation is the first step in the hand-built wagon installation process. The lath can be fastened directly to the room’s walls and ceilings if the wood is flat, but this is not the case in 99 percent of situations.
Consequently, it is essential to install the purlins, which will serve as the supporting structure.
Prior to anything else, you must decide which way to mount the panel. The bar in the frame ought to be positioned perpendicular to this orientation. Laying horizontally will make the space appear larger, and laying vertically will raise the ceiling.
Lathes can be constructed from wood or metal profiles. Use laths with a 20×40 or 25×50 mm cross section for purlins; these can be easily purchased at specialty stores or, if there are inch wooden boards, they can be made by cutting them with an electric saw.
Coniferous wood is preferable because it is less susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity.
Go straight ahead and create the supporting frame. Fix the initial beam horizontally beneath the ceiling if the wall will be covered vertically:
- using a level, mark a line parallel to it, along which the mounting brackets will be installed;
- Using an impact drill and anchor self-tapping screws, at a distance of half a meter install the brackets;
- Form a connector under the bar by bending inward a part of the fastener;
- fix the beam, fixing it with self-tapping wood screws in the side holes of the brackets, and screw the rest of the fasteners to the wall.
Every timber in the frame needs to be strictly aligned to the level and lie in one plane. In order to accomplish this, plumb bobs are fixed on the first beam after it has been installed. This will aid in locating the remaining laths.
Insulation
Before putting in the lathing, you can also insulate the wall.
For this, mineral wool rolls are most frequently utilized. After cutting it into the necessary lengths, the segments are tucked under or in between the purlin bars.
Use adhesive or mounting fasteners to secure the insulation further.
After the insulation has been installed, assembly foam should be inserted into the segment joints (do not use "extra" foam as this could distort the insulation).
There is an alternative where the insulation is installed prior to the frame installation, threaded onto the lath fasteners, and the purlins are assembled to completion.

Mounting
Selecting one of the five lathe repair options is the first step.
- This method is characterized by simplicity, high strength of fixation and the presence of the possibility of dismantling if necessary. Mounting the wagon on the kleymers is easy to do yourself: they are inserted into the inner protrusions of the grooves on one side, and the other is attached to the wooden frame.
- A hole equal to ½ of the screw diameter is drilled in the panel, and then, using a screwdriver, the screws are screwed in until they are completely immersed in the wood. The holes are closed with a wooden dowel and sanded. The method is often used in the cladding of rooms in baths.
- Method for professionals: a nail at an angle of 45º is carefully hammered into the groove, then hammered into the battens. To fix the panel in 2.5 m at least 6 nails are used.
- A hole for a screw is drilled in the panel stud, and then the board is screwed to the laths. The process must be carried out flush with the board.
- Staples are installed diagonally in the groove of the panels with a stapler, and fasten them to the purlins.

With our own hands, we start installing the wooden wagging. The room’s corner is used to create the vertical paneling.
Horizontal planking entails installing the panels from above, with the groove pointing downward to keep moisture and debris out of the grooves and extend the panel’s lifespan.
To prevent harming the connecting system, the panel can be cushioned using a piece of wagon if it is not firmly pressed against the preceding panel.
A hacksaw is used to adjust the final panel before it is fixed to the purlin; a skirting board is used to seal the space between it and the floor; and unique laths and corners are used to adorn the joints and corners.

Installation details
A screwdriver, construction level, tape measure, angle, hammer, screwdriver, and marker are needed for claymer installation. Setting up the working base by leveling the surface or, if needed, installing the battens should be the first task. A laser or construction level is used to measure the base’s levelness. Large cracks, chips, and deformations should be removed along with any protruding parts using a cement-sand mixture.
Following that, the base must be treated with an antiseptic, and you must wait until the surface is totally dry. After that, you can start designating the locations where the claymakers will be installed. Simultaneously, it should be considered that when planning the vertical arrangement of laths, the hardware installation should be spaced from the adjacent wall by the board’s width. When arranging horizontally, you must space the self-tapping screws 2-3 mm from the floor in order to insert them.
The first element’s precise location should receive special attention because it affects the overall appearance of the cladding as well as the accuracy with which all subsequent strips are installed.
Since claymakers and lath laths are installed in a different order, it is important to pay close attention to the installation sequence and the elements’ parallel positioning. Only when installing on a wooden batten is it permissible to use nails as fixing bracket elements. Depending on the size of the bracket and the weight of the wooden slats, self-tapping screws or dowels should be used in all other situations. Subsequently, it is imperative to commence the bracket installation, ensuring that the board remains level and does not shift to one side or disrupt the overall laying arrangement.
In order to facilitate screwing in of self-tapping screws it is necessary to mark the necessary places with dots beforehand. After installing the first brackets, it is necessary to proceed to the installation of the wagon, fixing the following brackets at the same time. The first lamella is inserted into the hook of the bracket, and then the subsequent laths are inserted with the groove into the ridge. The next staple should not be fixed until the first panel is determined to be absolutely level. The end part of the lamella, equipped with a ridge, should be tightly pressed to the base, and at the same time on the back side of the groove insert the clamp and fix it with self-tapping screws.
It is essential to finish the material installation using this installation method while regularly monitoring the construction level readings. It is necessary to cover the metal fastening elements with a wooden edge after the final board is installed.
Kleimers
Installing eurowagging involves a countersunk fastening technique using clamps called kleimers.
The galvanized steel does not corrode, and they are imperceptible from the exterior. They also do not impede the expansion or contraction of the wood.
Kleimers are available in packs of 100 or 200 pieces, along with self-tapping screws or zinc-plated steel nails. Don’t overlook characteristics like the coating’s elasticity, the steel’s quality, or the fixings’ elasticity.

Mounting on the walls and ceiling
How can the upholstery be fastened to the ceiling? If you have the will and all the required equipment, this should be fairly simple.
Of course, the room needs its own main ceiling as well as the necessary setup parameters for the frame installation.
Leaks cannot occur on the main roof. Wooden or iron frames are available for fixing eurowaganki. Clamping clips are used to help mount the boards. Wooden skirting boards or baguettes can be used to conceal the junction where the ceiling board meets the wall.
This video shows you how to attach wainscoting to walls correctly:
How is eurolap attached to the wall? In the event that you choose to mount it directly to the wall, ensure that it is absolutely level. If not, you will have to put together in advance a unique wooden frame to mount the boards on. The eurowood can be laid in a variety of ways.
For instance, to make the space appear larger, secure the boards horizontally, and raise it vertically. You can express your uniqueness and bring creativity to the space by arranging things herringbone or diagonally.
Final touches
Applying an antiseptic treatment to the board surface after finishing doesn’t hurt. This will lessen the chance of rot and fungal growth.
Use wax or stain to add more color to the texture. Matte varnish applied on top will also look fantastic.
Fixing the claymakers
The wall’s batten, or smooth surface, needs to be ready at this point. Should you choose to use nails to secure the staples, you should prepare a hammer and a level; for screws, you’ll need a screwdriver or screwdriver. It should be noted that the fasteners and wooden panels will be fixed alternately in order to comprehend how to fasten the wagon with Kleimers.
Although the operations are simple, it is crucial to pay attention to the fastening element’s location and the accuracy of the computations.
The first piece receives extra consideration since it establishes the tone for all other strips.
Nails are only appropriate when battens are already in place. It must be installed using self-tapping screws or dowels if it is absent. Bars with a cross-sectional area of roughly 5 centimeters are utilized for this purpose. Next comes the actual installation of the clips. Every component is fastened with nails to ensure that the wagon boards rest flat either vertically or horizontally.
Again, it won’t be unnecessary to provide a purlin if self-tapping screws are used. Fixing will be made easier by this. After that, you can either drill holes that are smaller than the self-tapping screw’s diameter or insert the screws at the designated locations. After the initial claymakers are fixed, you can install the wagon and fix the remaining brackets one after the other in parallel.
Proceed to installation
The instructions for using Kleimers to fasten the wagon look like this:
- It is necessary to calculate how many parts you will need to create a complete structure;
- If the fastening is made with self-tapping screws or nails, such tools will be required:
- Nails: angle, tape measure, hammer, level;
- Self-tapping screws: screwdriver (screwdriver), angle and level.
You can install it on any type of wood panel.
Wagon clampers are available for purchase in packages containing 100 or 200 pieces each. It is not difficult to count the number of fasteners; an approximate calculation is as follows: for every square meter of the structure, 20 fastener elements are needed; that is, if the area of the surface to be covered is 20 meters square, 400 fastener parts are needed.
Installing the purlins
For the construction to look flawless and last for a long time, it must be perfectly level. This is because, in 99 percent of cases, the walls and ceiling in the premises are not level surfaces. To address this, a structure called a batten must be built, upon which the wagon will eventually be attached.
Give careful consideration to how the purlins are made.
A unique frame must be installed in order to achieve a level wooden panel construction.
- In the case if you do not treat the bars from which the purlin will be made, the construction will not be durable, as it will begin to rot, which means that antiseptic treatment of lumber is mandatory for their durability and strength;
- To create a purlin, it is possible to use the same metal profile as for the installation of drywall;
- To ensure that the wagon was installed evenly, throughout the installation process, it is necessary to use a level, preferably laser;
- The distance between the bars should not be more than 55-60 centimeters.
Surface marking
Depending on how the panels are arranged, only a few different types of fasteners are used:
- In the case of horizontal wainscoting – the element is mounted close to the floor, at the very bottom, but so that it is possible to hammer a nail;
- Vertical arrangement of panels – installation of the clamp at a distance from the wall itself to the size of the board and its width.
Installing the wainscoting
Attaching the wagon to the kleimers using the horizontal panels:
- Inserting the lathing. More precisely its first board with the groove in the bracket, on its hook.
- The next panels will be inserted into the ridge with a groove and fixed with a clamping clip.
Using a screwdriver, attach the self-tapping screws to the claymakers.
The following method is used to mount wagons on claymakers in a vertical direction:
- To the wall we press the end where the ridge is located, and closely;
- Staples, fasten with hardware.

How to fix the lagging
Selecting the appropriate fasteners for your panels is essential if you want to install them with quality using your hands.
In this situation, you may use:
- Galvanized nails with a small cap. They are hammered in one row, separately into each board. This method of fastening is the most reliable, but nails can violate the aesthetic appearance of the material.
- Thin nails. They are hammered through each cladding board, which allows you to fix the laths from different sides, and the fixing itself is less reliable than galvanized nails. In addition, this method is more complicated when performing installation. Its advantage – the appearance of the wagon has a good quality.
- Kleimer fastening for wainscoting.
Using a kleimer to fix the lathing
Special claymers or brackets are used for this, and they are fastened to the frame with tiny self-tapping screws after being placed into the groove of the previously laid board. Although this is a labor-intensive process, the wagon is beautifully designed and firmly fixed as a result. Staples or tiny nails can be used in place of self-tapping screws, but the clampers will be less securely held.
How cladding is made
Aluminum strips or metal tape are used to make the products. Steel clamps are less expensive than aluminum clamps. however, upon installation on the purlins (refer to the table that follows). Lathing under the battens in accordance with all the regulations) of a gypsum board partition, this alternative might end up being the only one available.
This is because installing wood paneling with steel clamps puts an enormous amount of strain on the drywall sheets, causing them to become unstable. The parts are typically only 0.5–1 millimeters thick, with the exception of reinforced clamps, which are 1.5 millimeters thick.
Clamping the lathing in place
The technological manufacturing process involves feeding the material into automatic presses and then cold pressing it one after the other.
Stamping order:
- The fixing holes are punched.
- The ledge is cut and at the same time the bracket is pre-bent.
- Final bending of the part.
- Cut out along the contour when stamping the element with an offset or cut off the finished product from the strip.
Features of the use of clips
For covert panel installation, clampers are used to fasten the lagging.
- There is no risk of damaging the material during installation or dismantling. After using nails and self-tapping screws, small holes are left on the panel, which over time can lead to the formation of cracks in the parts. In addition, moisture can get into the holes and the wood will rot from the inside.
- Concealed or invisible fasteners. The walls in such a room will look unified, without visible metal flats, spoiling the appearance of wooden panels.
- Easy installation. This does not require the use of special tools: fixing clamping clampers wagon is carried out according to the size of the panels.
- If necessary, the laths are easy to dismantle. In this case, the possibility of damage to wood surfaces is virtually eliminated.
- Reliability of the design. The clamp made of galvanized steel, presented in the photo below, is not subject to the appearance of rust and corrosion.
- Fastening the lathing with clamps will last for a long time. Such a hook is quite difficult to bend, you will need a lot of physical strength, wood veneer has a small weight for this purpose.
Claimer for joinery made of galvanized steel
The ends of the fastener heads don’t require masking or puttying.
The price is the only drawback when compared to other hardware that is visible during installation, such as self-tapping screws and nails. The price of paneling a room does go up, but only marginally (see the following table). The orderly method of covering a room with wool or covering the house’s facade with wool.
This is particularly annoying when it comes to a budget repair that was previously scheduled and may affect the fastener selection.
Kleimer offers a variety of wainscoting fasteners. These include:
- For fixing eurowaganki the dimensions of the products are 20×90 millimeters, which corresponds to panels of standard height.
- Carpentry, which imitates a flat bar, is characterized by a large number of holes for fastening.
- Reinforced fix the panels in the corners and other problematic places. They differ from the usual version by the presence of a contact surface with teeth, which enter during installation in the material of the lath and strengthen it from a possible shift from the original position.
Strengthened clamp
Beneath wool made of plastic. It stands out for its mobility; depending on the specific installation requirements, these clampers can move along the laths that are fastened in the U-shaped grooves.
Recommendations for finishing the ceiling
From the lathing, the ceiling
The material in question is applied to the ceiling in the same sequence as the walls. The wagon needs to be fastened from the window opening to the wall on the other side, that’s the only criticism. The shadows between the cladding pieces won’t be as noticeable with this arrangement.
Veneer ceiling
Therefore, there is no complexity involved in the self-installation of wagoning. Retreat the paneling every two to three years with an antiseptic and fire retardant to prolong its service life. If not, just follow the directions to produce the best possible finish that is long-lasting and visually appealing.
Kleimer product description.
Kleimers are steel universal staples that are galvanized and securely attached to the frame. The lath is slipped onto the staple’s hook. This product, which offers a dependable fixation of the wagon panel, is fairly rigid.
A particular type of staple that resembles spikes is inserted into the paneling’s side, securely hooks it, and keeps the panel from distorting. Cladding installation is so easy that even a novice can handle it.
Advantages of claymer:
- No holes in the panel that damage the product;
- Preserving the material from cracking, water ingress into and rotting of the wood;
- The fastening is hidden to the eye, the surface of the wall or building looks more beautiful and solid;
- Kleimers are easy to install and dismantle without special tools;
- Kleaimerov are reliable and durable, not subject to corrosion, as they are made of galvanized steel;
- The fasteners are selected according to the size of the panels;
- The clamping hook is strong and will not bend under the weight of the paneling;
The only drawback of Kleimers is that they are slightly more expensive than traditional fasteners like nails and self-tapping screws, but this is offset by the clear benefits of using Kleimers.
Consider the thickness and class of the panels when choosing the clamp’s size. Plastic is used in doubles, euro wool in triples and quadruples, and lime and aspen products in fives and sixs.
Rules for fastening the clamp
Let’s now move on to the explanation of how to fasten the lathe using clips. Let’s get all the tools ready and the required amount of dowels ready—20 pieces for every square inch of lumber. It is possible to determine the exact number of fasteners needed if desired.
To do this, we perform basic calculations: we divide the board’s length in centimeters by the frame’s profile spacing in centimeters, add one to the result, and determine the number of fasteners needed for each panel. Next, multiply the outcome by the quantity of wagoning packages and the quantity of panels in each package. The answer to the query, "How many claymakers should be purchased in total?" will be the final outcome.
Maintaining comfort and energy efficiency in your home requires adequate insulation and heating. Homes can be improved by homeowners by taking the time to learn about the different options available, like strapping wagons to the kleimers.
Installing kleimers to secure wagons is a doable fix that can improve your home’s structural integrity and insulation. This article has made a thorough explanation of the installation process accessible for homeowners wishing to do this project themselves by utilizing a combination of images and videos.
The increased stability that wagons on kleimers offer to the overall structure is one of its main advantages. Homeowners can reduce the chance of damage from outside factors like strong winds or seismic activity by securing wagons to the kleimers securely, giving them peace of mind for years to come.
Furthermore, this approach’s insulating qualities help make a home more energy-efficient. Improved insulation can cut heat loss, which will help homeowners live more sustainably by using less energy and leaving a smaller environmental impact.
In conclusion, installing kleimers to fasten wagons is a useful and efficient method to enhance your home’s insulation and heating. For many years to come, homeowners can benefit from enhanced comfort, stability, and energy efficiency with appropriate installation and upkeep.
