Due to the fact that the modern range of building materials is very wide, many owners of private houses have a natural desire to update the facade of their housing, sometimes - changing it to be unrecognizable. However, the problem is just that due to the similar abundance of options and their diversity it becomes quite difficult to stop the choice on one of the types of finishes.
Therefore, it is worth considering the most popular finishing materials for the facades of private houses to date, so that it is easier to decide which option is suitable for a particular building to the maximum degree. Well, for a start - it is necessary to determine the circle of criteria that qualitative
Criteria for choosing facade facing
It is very important to allocate the moments that necessarily pay attention when determining the material facade necessary for finishing. If you speak brief, then the main criteria for the choice is the reliability, aesthetics and affordable facing price. Each of these items deserves expanded consideration.
So, for example, it is not necessary to save and dwell on the "absolutely-budget" version, that is, to the detriment of the quality of the material. It should not be forgotten that cladding is not only a decor, but also a protective coating for the walls, and it must be resistant to withstand aggressive environmental factors, such as rain and wind, snow and frost, ultraviolet radiation and temperature changes, chemical impact and dynamically load.
Not every material is able to withstand low or high temperatures of certain regions, so it is necessary to take into account the real conditions in which the material will be operated.
Very cheap to fade the facade of the house will not work, but choose the optimal version of the finishes with high performance characteristics, which will have a relatively affordable price - quite possible.
The criteria for choosing to be relying will help not only save some amount, but also clearly allocate certain advantages and disadvantages inherent in certain facade finishes.
First of all, it is worth conducting a kind of "excursion" in the surrounding streets and pay attention to the finished, recently decorated facades of buildings, stood at least one or two winters. It is possible that this will help to decide on the material for finishing or, on the contrary, to categorically refuse some of them. To do this, you should focus on the state of the facades of houses, that is, to learn about other people's mistakes, as some finishes show their inconsistency after the first season of operation.
So, the first thing is usually determined when choosing a material for the transformation of the house walls is the appearance created. Here each owner relies on his taste, especially since today you can find a large number of finishes, which also have an affordable price. If a certain material is scheduled for its external qualities, then before purchasing it, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the row of operational characteristics:
- Moisture resistance finish.
- Frost and heat resistance.
- Combustion.
- Resistance to the gap.
- Strength and durability of finishing - the operating period declared by the manufacturer.
- Mounting complexity and number of auxiliary elements.
- Resistance to fading, that is, to ultraviolet radiation.
- Color gamut, texture and similarity of finishing with natural material, if its imitation is selected.
- The cost of material and components.
That's where the buyer unfolds a completely understandable picture, based on which you can already make a certain choice.
The most popular materials for facade finishes
Today you can meet private houses whose facades have a variety of cladding, mostly imitating. Finishes are made from polyurethane, metal, cement, gypsum, clay, as well as composite compositions. Parts are attached to various forms, and some types of finishes are implemented as dry mixes or cloths.
So, the list of traditional and innovative materials can be represented in this way:
- Facing brick.
- Facade plaster is the usual and decorative.
- Siding - "Boards" and Panels, "Block House".
- Ceramic and clinker tiles.
- Sandwich panels.
- Artificial or natural stone.
- Facade wallpapers.
And now, it makes sense to consider each of the materials of the materials separately and in more detail.
Wall decoration bricks
Bricks can be awarded the house built from different materials. In fact, another wall is laid out, protecting the capital structure. However, for such a finish, it is necessary to strengthen the old foundation, expanding it, or pour a new ribbon by tilling it with the existing basis.
It is necessary to immediately say that such a facing is a time-consuming and fairly expensive process, but as a result, not only aesthetic facade is obtained, but also reliable insulated walls. Usually, using this option of finishing the facade, the insulation of the walls is immediately carried out - for this, the lumen formed between the capital wall and the new brick trim, is filled with one of the insulation materials.
Facing brick is somewhat different from the usual construction of the following features:
- It has a shape with a clear geometry and smooth neat ribs, which is necessary for high-quality pure laying.
- It is manufactured in a wide range of shades, textures, forms.
- It has increased resistance to external natural impacts, so the facing layer is able to reliably protect the structure from the influence of the aggressive medium.
- The finish has the ability to mask all defects formed on the main surface over the years of its operation.
- Facing brick is characterized by increased thermo- and frost resistance, excellent strength characteristics, operational durability.
The lining of the house brick is quite complex, and if there is no experience in this work, it is better not to be taken for it, but to entrust professionals knowing all the subtleties of this process.
To calculate such a finish, various types of bricks are used.
- Ceramic Brick is made of clay that has passed the cleaning cycle, by firing at certain temperatures. This type of brick can have different shades depending on the pigment added to it - light ocher, red or even dark brown.
- Silicate brick is made of sand and lime by autoclave processing using water vapor and high pressure and temperature. This type of product is produced in different forms and color schemes. Since its disadvantages are low moisture resistance and heat resistance, it cannot be used to finish the bases of foundations and chimneys.
- It is made of special clay rocks. The molded bricks are well dried, and then the process of high-temperature firing is passing. As a result, it turns out products with the highest moisture and heat resistance. Therefore, such a facing brick can be applied to finishing any parts of the facade, including the base.
- Hypersed brick Produce from the seven, limestone and cement with a method of pressing high pressure, without the use of firing. This type of product is characterized by a surface characteristic of it imitating the chip of wild stone. Facing material has a wide color gamut and various geometric shapes, it has high technical characteristics, so the price is high enough. Facing from it is extremely massive, which would require a significant strengthening of the foundation. Usually used for the base part of the facade or for individual decorative inserts
The most affordable price has a ceramic brick, and the highest is clinker. This can be explained by different production technologies and, accordingly, the characteristics purchased during the processing process.
In addition, the facing brick can be divided by surface texture: it can be smooth, embossed, glazed and angry.
- Smooth brick
From this material it turns out a smooth neat laying with a matte surface. The smooth surface can be in bricks made from any raw material.
- Glazed bricks
It has a glossy surface and differs from the usual smooth finishing material in that the manufacture passes additional heat treatment after applying it to the front surface of the special coating - glaze. The coating can have different shades, and even the drawings looks rich, but not always appropriate and, moreover, it is very considerable worth.
- Angoished brick
This is an improved ceramic brick option. It is distinguished by the fact that an additional special clay layer is applied to firing to firing, and then they are sent for high temperatures. At the output, the perfectly smooth facial brick surface, which has high protective qualities.
- Relief brick
This option is characteristic of any type of brick. It differs from the rest of the presence of bulk drawings located on the toncho side of the elements - it may be reliefs with the names of the "bark of the tree", "Coroed", "Turtle", "Skol Wild Stone" and many others.

Facade trim brick - a large-scale task!
Not every homemade craftsman will cope with such a cladding. Nevertheless, learn about the main technological techniques - never will prevent: they are set forth in a special publication of our portal. This will help to actually appreciate your own capabilities.
Facade plasters
It is quite possible to call the walls of the walls of the plaster, since it was previously covered with almost all the walls of buildings built out of bricks, blocks and stoves.
But in our time, despite the emergence of other, more modern finishing materials, the plaster still does not lose its popularity. That is why manufacturers do not refuse production, but continue to improve, supplying various additives that make mixtures and solutions with more plastic, durable and beautiful. In addition, the homogeneous compositions of plaster mixes often include additives in the form of harsh engines, intended for forming on the wall of various embossed patterns.
Modern additives are capable not only to finish a more decorative, but also qualitatively protect the wall surfaces from destruction under the influence of external natural factors.
Mixes made according to advanced technologies are used not only for brick, block, stone and concrete walls, but also those that are made of combustible materials subjected to decorative decoration of special processing. The plaster layer applied to such surfaces can make them more fire-resistant and able to resist external influences, more attractive from aesthetic point of view.
If it is decided to select a plaster layer for the facade finish, it is necessary to specify, on what basis they are made and what characteristics do it possess. The table presented will help determine the selection of this finishing material:
| A variety of plastering mixes Illustration Main advantages and disadvantages |
|---|
| Mineral plaster |
| The mineral type of plaster is based on cement and has sufficiently high indicators - is resistance to ultraviolet radiation and ozone, good vapor permeability, high and low temperatures resistance, durability and durability. In compliance with the technology of kneading and applying a solution, its operational term is estimated to 50 years. In addition, mineral facing mixtures are not combustible, so they will not contribute to the spread of fire. They are environmentally friendly, as they consist of natural raw materials. The layer of 8 ÷ 10 mm of this type of facing is capable of significantly soundly insulated houses of the house from noise from the outside. Mineral plaster is compatible with most building materials, which build buildings. However, this material has some drawbacks to which low elasticity and resistance to abrasion can be attributed, as well as high moisture absorption. It should be noted that such mixtures have a relatively short amount of viability, so they need to be used for one to one and a half hours after cooking, since the solution further begins to grab, losing its and so low elasticity. In order to slow down the mixture, it is often added to a limestone dough, which will significantly increase the elasticity of the mass. If the wall decoration is made by conventional mineral plaster, it will need to be covered with one of the decorative materials, which will entail additional costs. Mineral plaster are produced in a dry mix that requires a shutter, as well as in a pasty form, ready to use, but the latter has a higher price. This type of plaster is recommended to apply on the walls of the house after their shrinkage - in this case the layer will not give chips and cracks. |
| Acrylic plasters |
| Acrylic plasters are manufactured on acrylic and polyvinyl bases. They go on sale in plastic buckets, ready to use. Like other types of plasters, the acrylic mixture has its own "pluses" and "minuses". Thus, its positive qualities include high adhesion, moisture and heat resistance. Due to the high elasticity achieved by special plasticizers, the mass is easily applied and is distributed on the surface of the walls, and during operation it is not cracking, in contrast to cement compositions, and is not deformed. Therefore, the plastering of the facade can be made before the structure gives shrinkage. Acrylic plaster is used to cladding the walls erected from various materials - it is brick, concrete, stone, wood, etc. Do not use this material only for metal surfaces, as they do not interact with each other. The disadvantages of acrylic coating include its low resistance to ultraviolet, as it quickly fades under its impact. The life of this material, compared with other types of finishes, is small - it is only 15 ÷ 17 years. Acrylic mixtures have a property quickly capture, so the speed of working with them matters. In the absence of experience in plastering work, it will be difficult to cope with the walls of the walls by this material yourself. |
| Silicate plasters |
| Silicate plasterers are made on the basis of liquid glass with additives from coloring pigments and mineral fillers. Thanks to this component, the material has excellent performance. The advantages of silicate mixtures include absolute environmental friendliness, compatibility almost with all surfaces, high strength, water resistance and vapor permeability, ultraviolet resistance and other natural impacts. Plasters based on liquid glass have neutral electrostaticity, so dust does not attract. Excellent adhesion of the mixture simplifies its application to the surface. In addition, such mixtures are not combustible, therefore, they can become a protective layer for insulation with low fire resistance. This finish is used not only for facade, but also for internal works, thanks to environmental friendliness and lack of smell. Silicate plasters have an affordable price at high technical characteristics, therefore, if the negative properties of this material do not interfere, it will become the optimal option for the facade facing. The negative factors of silicate finish are only two points - it is its rapid grasp and frozen, as well as the preparation of walls under its application with special primers. In addition, no others will be lying to silicate compounds - even facade paints will be required exclusively on a silicate basis, and they, as a rule, do not differ in the wealth of the palette. |
| Silicone plasters |
| Silicone plasters can be called the most reliable and durable finishing material from this row. They are made on the basis of silicone resins and go on sale in plastic buckets, ready to use. The advantages of silicone-based mixtures include high elasticity and excellent adhesion with a prepared surface, resistance to ultraviolet rays - plaster practically does not fade, vapor permeability and water resistance, the ability to protect the walls of the walls from mold, resistance to high and low temperatures, and the ability to self-clean under The action of atmospheric precipitation. Thanks to all mentioned qualities, the facade coating by this material is rather durable. The only drawback of the material is too high price, but if you consider that the wall covering does not have to be repaired for a long period, it will be quite adequate. If the desire to repaint the facade to another color will arise, then it will be quite simple to do so, since any water-soluble coloring formulations are applied without problems on this type of plaster. |
All described plaster solutions can be equipped with fillers that are intended to create on the surface of the front walls of decorative embossed patterns.

facade plaster
As these additives, granite, limestrous or marble crumb, mica, different-sided quartz sand or polymers in the form of granules can act. It is with the help of these additives that the surface can be made uniformly-rough or create vertical, horizontal or chaotic furrows on it.
On the same basis, decorative finishes can be made, which create a solid layer of stone crumb on the surface. This option plaster can be purchased at a finished form or even make it yourself, adding a selected mineral crumb variant in any of the solutions for the facade finish.
| Possible components of decorative plaster | Purpose of materials |
|---|---|
| Cement | Acts as a binder for the remaining ingredients of plaster. |
| Lime | Lime is an excellent plasticizer, which gives a solution to elasticity and makes it easier to apply it on the surface, and also prolongs the viability of the mixture. |
| Stone crumb | This additive gives decorative finish and creates reliable protection of the capital wall. Stone crumb can have different fractions, ranging from fine powder and up to 5 ÷ 6 mm. From this will depend on the created effect of wall cladding. |
| Mooked sand | This ingredient is obligatory in cement-based solutions - it gives them strength, provided that the selected proportions are correct. |
| Grinding mica | This component is necessary to impart the surface of the walls of the reflective effect. |
| Painting pigments | They are used as a decorative additive that stains the mixture into the selected color. |
| Acrylic, Liquid Glass, Silicone Resins | These substances are used in expensive mixtures as binders, instead of cement. |

Facade siding - "Boards" and panels
Siding, thanks to the variety of types and convenience of mounting, won the owners of private houses very high popularity. This finishing material is somewhat similar to the lining, but differs from it, which has a special attachment, which facilitates the installation of "boards" and panels for facade walls.
It can be made of polymer (PVC), wood, metal. The panels are given different colors, and most often lights imitate natural finishing materials.
It is produced in the form of wide and narrow "boards" of alamel or large-format panels. Facing elements are fastened horizontally braziness, and for this it is used, located at the top of the board or panel perforated plank, through which the fixing parts are screwed. This design allows Siding to reliably protect the walls of the house not only from moisture, but also from other influences of the aggressive environment. Under this cladding (between the guide frameworks), one of the insulation materials can be installed.
On the brick or concrete wall, as well as on the installation on top of the insulating material, the siding cladding is fixed to the prejected cladder. If the wooden house is separated, the lamellas and panels can be installed and fixed directly onto the walls using wood screws.
The table shows the comparative characteristics of siding from various materials:
| Index | Vinyl (acrylic) siding | Metal Siding | Wooden siding |

Facade tile
It has good performance characteristics. With the advent of modern production technologies, the tile for external lining of houses acquires higher aesthetic indicators and qualities that extend its life. A wide range of facade tiles allows you to choose it for every taste and on the existing financial capabilities.
To stop your choice on one of the options of this material, it is worth briefly considering the characteristics of some of the most popular of them.
| Tile name for manufacturing material Appearance Main characteristics of material |
|---|
| A NATURAL STONE |
| Natural materials are always attracted by their ecology and this is significantly different from the facing, imitating them. However, it is impossible to say that they "consist" only from the advantages. The "pluses" of natural finish includes strength and frost resistance, resistance to chemicals, durability, aesthetic and presentable appearance. The shortcomings of natural plates can outweigh their advantages, as they are essentially significant. So it is a high price of the material itself and its installation. Facing has a fairly large weight and lower adhesion than in artificial materials. The following breeds of natural stone are used for finishing the facade: - Marble and granite of various shades, which possesses a dense structure and resistive tolerate various external influences. - Sandstone, having a porous structure and considered a sufficiently soft agglomerate, so during the installation of it on the wall, if necessary, it can be easily cut. Thanks to the above qualities, as well as a relatively affordable price, it is often used for facades. - Limestone is another stone available for sawing or cutting stone, but without special processing it is not recommended to use for the outer finish, as it is disbels to external natural influences. The stone begins to crumble, losing its strength and aesthetic appeal. |
| FAKE DIAMOND |
| Artificial stone is a simulation of natural stone tile and is made of such cement, sand, gypsum, acrylic binding and synthetic fibers. In addition, stone crumb is added to some of its views. Depending on the material of the manufacture, the characteristics of the finishing material can be varied. Immediately it should be noted that the gypsum veneer version is more suitable for internal design. The decorative acrylic stone is used both for the outer and interior decoration of the walls, as it has high reliability and durability that synthetic fibers are enhanced in the finishing material. Acrylic is able to resist mechanical impacts, it is non-hygroscopic, does not absorb pollution, and is distinguished by numerous shades, as well as aesthetic appearance. Decorative facing stone, made on cement basis, has a more affordable price, unlike other finishes of this series, and, having high technical specifications. The concrete stone is great for facade works, as products made in compliance with technology have even higher strength and resistance to external influence than natural stone. |
| Ceramic facing tile |
| Ceramic tiles are popular for finishing both indoors and the facade part of the structure. This finishing material is made of clay, and the process of its manufacture passes almost the same as the brick, that is, the tile is exposed to many hours of burning to the state of sintering clay and additives included in the mixture. As a result, almost non-hygroscopic finishing material is obtained. There are several types of tiles, each of which has its purpose. To finish the facade, a tight ceramic tile with a embossed surface is most often used, which simulates a natural stone. Ceramic finish is a wide range of color gamut, aesthetics, as well as resistance to environmental changes and external influences. Properly laid material will serve at least 50 years. It is very important to choose the desired composition of the adhesive and reliably close the seams between the grout tiles, because if the moisters will begin to penetrate the gaps between them, the lining will not last long on the wall. |
| Clinker tile |
| Clinker tiles are also made of clay, but for this it uses special varieties and special high-temperature firing technology. The tile mimics the natural stone or the surface and shape of the brick, so on the wall, at the end of the installation of the cladding, it turns out a very reliable imitation of brickwork, which is almost impossible to distinguish from the present. Facing material has high strength and durability. Clinker tile has several advantages over ordinary ceramic trim - it is high frost resistance and strength, resistance to mechanical effects, aggressive medium and ultraviolet rays. The disadvantage of this cladding can be called what it will cost much more than the usual ceramic tile. |
| Terracotta tile |
| Another option of ceramic facade finish is a terracotta tile, which is different in a different "architectural". This material is distinguished by the fact that it is manufactured from already burnt kaolin clay without additives of chemical pigments. Various cladding shades are achieved by mixing several clay rocks, so the palette can vary from light beige color to dark brown. The surface of the tile can be rough or smooth and glazed. Pros of terracotta finish is a heat resistance of up to + 1000 degrees and frost resistance, as well as resistance to temperature drops, relatively low hygroscopicity, durability, environmental purity of the material. Affordable price, which is lower than the cost of clinker and natural stone, saves some amount. The disadvantages of the terracotta can only be called the absence of a variety of colors, but its warm ohwherous and brown shades will fit well into any designer solution of the facade. |
It is very important to know what to pay attention to when choosing such a finish for the facade, since the recommendations will help to purchase high-quality material, which will be easier to mount on the wall, and during operation - contain in proper form.
- Tile for exterior trim can be corrugated or smooth. It is easier to care for the smooth surface compared to the embossed options, as the dirt is practically unanswered.
- By buying a finishing tile, you need to check all the packages, as the material must be from one batch. In the case of purchasing facing from different parts, the tile can have different shades, so elements from different batches are recommended to mix among themselves to achieve uniformity of the facade color.
- There should be no defects on the products - cavities and cracks.
- Choosing a cladding should pay attention to the manufacturer declared by the manufacturer, as well as to "figure out" the cost of annual finishing service, which includes cleaning and processing with protective means.
Facade finishing panels
Facade panels are one of the most sought-after and original finishes, as they can be chosen for every taste. Many of them differ also to the ease of installation on the walls.
Such a cladding is made from different materials - it is plastic, metal, fibrocement, composite from sand and polymers, wood and even glass. Convenience consists also in the fact that the panels are manufactured not only in various formats, but also with different amounts of layers. In multilayer panels, an insulation layer is provided, therefore, cladding the facade, you can solve two problems at once - insulation and decorative trim.
The front panels are assembled on the wall into a single coating, which can protect the building from various external influences. The panels tend to have a relatively low weight, so they are quite possible to fade the walls of the old house built from any materials.
| Type of manufacturing panels Appearance Main characteristics of panels |
|---|
| Polymerpess panels |
| Polymerpessic panels are made of polymers, sand and pigments that give cladding the desired shade. This finishing material is great for the design of facades, fences, fencing of loggias and balconies, as well as for furnaces and fireplaces. The panels are made by pressing and firing at a temperature of 1200 degrees, which brings the components before sintering into a single mass. Thanks to this technology, cladding acquires high strength and durability, low hygroscopicity, resistance to chemical compounds, high wear resistance. The panels have a small weight, easily assemble into a single design and do not require the strengthening of the foundation, so the walls of the walls can be performed independently. Polymer plates increase the thermal insulation of the walls, their flaws are perfectly hidden, simultaneously aligning the surface. The panels are produced in a wide range of colors and can have a different embossed pattern and size - they can be combined with other finishing materials, for example, with decorative plasters. Facing material is stable not only to high, but also to low temperatures, which can be -60 ÷ 65 degrees. It is easy to care for such a facing, since all pollution is easily flushed with ordinary water. These panels are perfectly harmonized with a tiled roof, as they paint into the shades close to it. The polymer panels can be single-layer, as well as they are used in the manufacture of thermopanels, by mounting an external decorative layer. |
| Metal panels |
| Metal panels are made of galvanized steel or aluminum. They can have a smooth or profiled surface with a polymer coating that protects the metal from corrosion and the appropriate aesthetic appearance. The metal used to produce the facing of this species may have a different thickness ranging from 0.55 mm. Polymers are used to cover the metal - Pural, polyester and plastisol, giving surface glossy or matte shine. Metal panels are characterized by a long service life, which is more than 30 years, resistance to low temperatures, corrosion, alkalis and acids. The material is distinguished by absolute nonopication, impaired and water resistance, a variety of color range, ease of installation and operating temperatures, leaving the range from -45 to +50 degrees. The disadvantages of such cladding include the fact that it does not create no heat insulation for the walls. Therefore, if the surfaces need to be insulated, you will have to acquire additionally insulating material. |
| Vinyl panels |
| The facade panels from polyvinyl chloride won the greatest popularity among the owners, as they have aesthetic appearance, a variety of embossed surface drawings, and at the same time they have a fairly affordable price. Products are easily assembled among themselves into a single cladding using a latch lock, and the walls are fixed with self-draws. To other positive qualities of vinyl panels include durability (30 or more), low flammability - g1, good water resistance, inertness to biological and corrosion decomposition, low weight of facing plates, constituting only 5 kg / m², resistance to ultraviolet radiation, low thermal conductivity . There are vinyl plates and their drawback. At low temperatures, the material becomes fragile, and if a mechanical impact will be produced, the plates may be damaged. |
| Two-layer thermopanels |
| Two-layer wall thermopanels consist of an outer decorative layer, which is made of metal, polymer composition (for example, polyurethane), clinker tiles or decorative concrete, as well as insulating polyurethane foam or polystyrethic layer having a thickness of 40 to 100 mm. Due to the multi-layer of panels and a special assembly design, such a cladding perfectly thermo and sounds the walls. The advantages of thermopanels can be considered a long service life, rangeing from 30 to 50 years, resistance to low temperatures, to external influences. This type has low thermal conductivity and high moisture resistance, low weight and a wide range of temperatures that range from - 50 to +100 degrees. Panels are easily mounted on the wall and practically do not require care. The disadvantages of thermopanels can be called the insulance of the insulating material to open fire, therefore it is recommended to acquire a finish in which extruded polyurethane foam is used as a heater, as it has a self-coaling property. |
| SANDWICH PANELS |
| Another embodiment of the insulation facade of the facade material is a sandwich panel consisting of three layers, two of which are made from different materials - it can be PVC, Feds, a magnesite plate or galvanized metal with a polymer colorful coating. Between the external sheets is a plate of insulating material - mineral wool, polyurethane foam or polystyrene foam of different density. This type of facade facing perfectly protects the walls from wind and low temperatures, and also provides them with good sound insulation. The thermal conductivity of the sandwich panel having a thickness of 100 mm corresponds to the same quality of the slag concrete with a thickness of 950 mm, brick -1400 mm, aerated concrete - 600 mm. Therefore, this facing material is well suited for facades of houses located in the regions with a harsh climate. Mounted sandwich panels on the "groove spike" principle, so it is created for the facade a hermetic coating. |
| Fibro cement panels |
| Fibro cement panels are made of cement, mineral fillers and cellulose fibers - the latter are about 10% of the total mixture and are an effective reinforcing additive. The panels from this material are great for finishing walls not only new, but also old houses, as they have a relatively small weight due to the voids of their design. Plates are recorded on a pre-installed crate of metal-mill and a wooden, treated with a special primer timber installed on the wall. Between the plates are often connected using the "Comb-Paz" Castle. The surface of the panels can have different embossed patterns that imitate brick or stone masonry, wood texture. A protective polyurethane or acrylic coating is applied on top of the relief, and in some embodiments, the surface has a layer of stone crumb. The thickness of fibro-cement panels can be varied in the range of 8 ÷ 15 mm, and their proportion is 16 ÷ 30 kg / m². The pluses of the facing material of this type include a long service life, which is 25 ÷ 30 years, high durability to ultraviolet, since substances included in the stove material have properties to absorb solar rays, high heat resistance and frost resistance, inertness to biological and corrosion decomposition, absolute non-combustibility, low thermal conductivity, good sound absorption and environmental cleanliness of the finishes. There are fibroter panels and their "minuses" - this is quite high hygroscopicity, reaching up to 7%, which can lead to plate deformation processes, low shock resistance, as well as the fact that some of the slab models do not have coatings and require painting that Continated with additional expenses. |
| Glass panels |
| Glass facade panels are rarely applied in private construction - they are mainly used for office buildings or supermarkets, so such cladding belongs to the executive class. However, sometimes such a finish is still used for individual sites of the facades of private houses. For facade panels, different types of glasses are produced, which differ in the strokeness (class A), intended for protection against vandalism and hacking (class B), bulletproof glass (class B). In addition to these options. We use hardened, reinforced, laminated (triplex) glass. The reinforced glass has a thickness of up to 6 mm and can be primed and painted in any shade, and also have a decorative pattern on the surface. In addition, glass can be mirror, matte, opaque and transparent. Plates made of foamed glass stalls are one of the species of this type of panels. They have reinforcement with fiberglass mesh on both sides and a thickness of 26 mm. On the surface of these panels can be fixed glass having a color, or they decorated them with a stone crumb with a fraction of up to 6 mm, metal plates to 2 mm thick, which mimic precious metals. Another kind of glass facade plates are crystallized panels. This option is made from inorganic substances, and the creation of a glass crystallized panel occurs in the formation of granite close to natural natural processes. Therefore, the specifications of these panels sometimes exceed the parameters of granite and marble. The "pluses" of glass panels can be attributed to low thermal conductivity, high sound insulation, especially in laminated options, as they have sound-absorbing effect. Glass toned panels reduce the effect of ultraviolet on the room inside the house, and the mirrored plates reflect the sun's rays, not giving rooms inside the building. An excellent reflector is a corrugated glass that has a metal oxide coating. The disadvantages of glass panels can be considered the complexity of the calculation and installation of the structure, as well as the high price for drawing up the project. Glass panels are mounted on an aluminum profile frame in three ways. The rigle facade (classic) consists of an internal frame collected from racks and an external profile, clamps and decorative covers. Frameless facade (structural). When installing the facade of this method, the frame is not installed, and the glass is glued on aluminum frame profiles outside. This design is one of the facade units - a cassette, of which the whole or part of the wall is mounted. Cassettes are bonded between themselves mechanically through the holes provided in the aluminum frame. From the outside of the junction between the cassettes close by sealant, close in their appearance and properties to the structure of the glass. The spider facade has the most original glazing, but it is most often used in the construction of public buildings. |
Facade wallpaper
Facade wallpapers are a new type of external decoration of buildings that recently appeared on the Russian construction market. The most famous products are the products of the German company "Erfurt".
Despite the fact that the material has not yet managed to gain wide popularity, many builders have already managed to evaluate the convenience of working with it. It is very convenient that the wallpaper is implemented in a complex with all necessary components for installation - it is the canvas themselves in rolls, the profiles with the reinforcing grid, special glue, designed specifically for this material, as well as paint for the final stage of the work.
So, in order to have the concept that this kit represents this kit, it is worth considering each of its components.
- Facade wallpaper
Facade wallpapers are supplied in 710 mm width rolls and 20 meters long. The canvas is made of synthetic fibers, but does not contain polyvinyl chloride, formaldehyde, heavy metals and plasticizers compounds. Therefore, the material is safe for both human and environmental.
In addition to the ecology of facade wallpaper, they have a number of positive qualities, such as resistance to ultraviolet rays, temperature drops, vapor permeability and frost resistance. On the canvases, one or another factory figure is usually noticeable.
- Reinforcing
The second component of the importance element is the reinforcing glue, made on the basis of an acrylic copolymer. The composition of this glue has a sufficiently thick consistency, so it is able to hide insignificant flaws on the wall surface.
The adhesive mass is quite elastic and well compatible with the cement basis, so it is easy to work with it, and after drying it becomes a resistant to external natural impacts such as rain, snow, wind, sun rays. The glue is applied to the prepared foundation using a roller, and if the mass becomes too thick - it is quite possible to dilute with water.
- Profiles with reinforcing grid
These elements equipped with a reinforcing grid are needed when sticking facade wallpaper, as their purpose is to fasten the web on the joints, angles, adjoints, etc., creating a monolithic coating on the wall.
So, the kit should include:
- the starting (closing) profile shown in the lower figure is set at the bottom and upper part of the wall horizontally, as well as on the sides of the surface of the surface and on the joints of the canvas, where the element is mounted vertically;
- The angular profile is designed to strengthen the angular parts of the walls of the facade, including on the slopes of door and window openings, as well as to create their clear lines.
These elements are mounted on the walls using the same glue that is used to glue wallpaper cloths.
- Paint for facade wallpaper
The final stage of the finish is painting facade wallpapers in the selected color. Experts recommend using the front paint of the Alligator brand, which is enhanced with silicone resins, has a high degree of diffusion, without creating voltages to the braided wallpaper. In addition, thanks to GUARD technologies, where fungicidal and algicide additives are used, such paint is able to protect the basis for which it is applied, from any biological lesion.
The paint has a good shelterness, which is achieved even when applying a thin layer. The dried layer of paint acquires the form of a mineral matte coating with high resistance to moisture, including storm rainfall.
It should be noted that such paints are widely used for restoration work during the reconstruction of architectural monuments - and this indicates a lot!
Benefits of facade wallpaper
This pretty unusual finish type has a lot of advantages compared to other facade materials:
- Durable finishing - the manufacturer guarantees a 30-year operational period.
- Walls covered with facade wallpaper have a form of ordinary smooth or embossed plaster, but in contrast to her surface will never appear cracks.
- A fairly simple installation of the coating compared with putting the walls with plaster compositions. Before sticking the wallpaper on the surface of the facade, it does not need to be carefully aligned - this work will make glue applied under the wallpaper. The only thing to do is to make cracks with elastic sealants.
Facade wallpapers can be called a unique material capable of creating a high-quality aesthetic and reliable coating for the walls of the house. Of course, such a finish is a great future.
For those who are interested in this innovative facade finish, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the presentation video clip:
Video: Advanced Technologies Finishing Buildings - Facade Wallpaper "Erfurt"
So, having familiarized with numerous materials intended for, you can make a choice of a suitable option. Having stopped at one of them and learning its cost, it is necessary to immediately calculate all the additional items for its installation, and only after that it will be possible to estimate the approximate scale of the upcoming costs. It should be borne in mind that components, alas, sometimes raid at a price to the amount comparable to the value of the main finishing material.
Some building materials from which the walls are built immediately imply the need for outdoor decoration at home: a picture is very unsightly. Others can lose attractive over time. And the third case is an extensive formation of cracks, which is "treated", but the results are visible. In all these cases, the question arises: "How to strip the house outside." More often, it is necessary to "notify" - without the use of a solution or other similar means that require a large amount of money and time. I want to do everything quickly and, very desirable - inexpensive, and even if possible, - do it yourself. Oddly enough, but there is a choice of materials and technologies, and considerable.
Basic Rules
Selecting the materials for the object of the house from the street, be sure to remember that in order to maintain normal humidity in the premises, the vapor permeability of materials should be reduced from the inside of the room - outward. That is, the outer decoration should better carry out steam than the material of the walls. Then the increased humidity, which is characteristic of our homes, will be excreted through the walls naturally (explanations in the photo).
If this principle is broken, the moisture will accumulate on the border of materials with different vapor permeability. It condenses, creating conditions for rotting, the development of fungi and mold. In winter it freezes, destroying the wall of the wall and / or finishes. Sooner or later, such a system will have to dismantle and redo.
The whole trouble is that only wood is responsible for this requirement. Most of the other materials for the outer decoration of the house has low vapor permeability. The problem is solved in two ways:
Today, the second option becomes increasingly popular. There were very effective thermal insulation materials that allow us to reduce the cost of heating. But they have very low vapor permeability (expanded polystyrene foam and extruded polystyrene foam). When using them, only the second moisture regulation scheme is possible. Choosing than to strip the house, consider these moments.
Wooden sheathing
Wood in construction and decoration is not used by the birth of an eyelid, and it seems to be relevant for a long time. All thanks to excellent appearance and property to regulate humidity in the room. This is perhaps the only material that without problems will remove excess moisture regardless of what material the walls are built.
Wooden sheathing can have a completely non-standard look: different colors and sizes, different direction. Everything is simple and the effect is awesome
The most popular materials for the walls of the walls are a block House and imitation of a bar. There is still a lining for the outer decoration - it has a greater thickness, compared to the one that is intended for the rest of the same.
The block house simulates the surface of the rounded log - the front part has a rounded shape. The imitation of the bar is very similar to the planed timber. Both types of cladding are attached to the crate, then polished and covered with protective impregnations, but they are still quenched or painted.
What lumber looks for outdoor house
If you cannot decide what to see a house of foam blocks outside, consider the Wooden Facing option. In this case, the walls are nailed (metallic or wooden). If necessary, the insulation is laid between the planks - basalt wool (foam or polystyrene foam can not be used), and then a wooden casing is nailed.
This building is covered with timber imitation. Under the skin can be brick, log house, skewer or any of the building blocks
If the cheapest option is needed, for most regions of Russia it is an ordinary planed board. Its thickness - from 40 mm, stuffing as well as the lining or block house on the crate, the lower end of the top board comes by 10-20 mm on it below it. It turns out the principle of the bump. So you can build a country house or even residential. With due processing, such a facing has a very good appearance.
The cheaply to strip the house outside? For middle strip of Russia - Wooden planed board
The disadvantages of such a finish are the same as in any wood: it can be damaged by pests, rot, without proper care quickly loses decorativeness, becomes dark and ugly. If you want to strip the house, and do not remember it for years, it is not your choice. It takes care of the wooden trim, and most often - annual.
Siding
In some regions, boards and other lumber are far from the most affordable materials. In this case, it is cheaper that option when making a finish once, you can forget about it for a long time.
If you think than to separate the house from the bar outside, perhaps your option is siding
Since the trim is nailed for the crate, the facade is obtained ventilated. If it is necessary to retain wooden walls (from bar, logs, shields) Siding - one of the options. It can also be used for the structure of any other material: foam block, aerated concrete, slapped, etc. This facing is universal.
Vinyl
Siding is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and therefore it is also called vinyl. It is a strip of material with a width of 205 and 255 mm, a thickness of 1.1 mm and 1.2 mm. There is a lock on the longitudinal faces on one side of the castle, on the other - perforation under fasteners (the screws are used more often).
Siding is fastened too to the crate. Recommend to use special metallic, but fully soaked wooden bars. Only regular starting and sidebands will be needed. The only nuance: self-tapping screws need a little "pregnant", leaving the backlash in order to compensate for the temperature changes of the materials. With this installation, siding will not crack from the stresses.
The advantages of this material for the outside of the house: low prices, easy installation.
Lack of vinyl siding: it quickly flashes into the sun, because it is desirable to use inappropriate colors. It has a fairly wide temperature mode of operation: from + 50 ° C to -35 ° C, but even in small frosts becomes fragile and is easily damaged.
Another point: look good at home, covered with siding, having broken configuration. If the building is rectangular, without architectural excesses, it has not the most attractive appearance (in confirmation of the photo below).
If the building is simply long, without reliefs and protrusions, the walls of the walls of the Sading is not very embezzle
Metal
Metal siding is a strip of thin aluminum or galvanized steel, which causes a protective-decorative coating. It has the same fastening system as vinyl.
The sheathing house with metal siding is simple: you can make it yourself even without much building experience
The coating can be made of polymers. It is distinguished by reliability, resistance to burnout, other climatic factors. His drawback is a limited choice of colors. The second coating option is powder staining. The color scheme is much wider, the paint is kept for years without signs of peeling.
If you are looking for than to bind the house outside, so that the finish is reliable and brighter, you may suit one of the options for metallic siding. It can be brought, it is very difficult to break, the installation is not very complex: good scissors for metal, self-tapping screw, screwdriver or screwdriver are necessary. All the features of the installation are the same as in vinyl, with the only difference that the metal can be mounted and at negative temperatures.
Harmoniously issuing a building that is covered with metallic siding
From the point of view of durability, this is a good option, but from the point of view of aesthetics it is difficult to work with it: too "production" is obtained. The building is larger than hike on a residential building, but to a warehouse or some shop.
Central
This is one of the varieties of vinyl siding, but it has a completely different configuration, appearance and greater panel thickness. It was designed specifically for decorating and protecting the grounds of buildings, but it became like this, which began to be used and when the facade is trimmed. Exterior design - under the brickwork of different types and color, with or without drawings, wild stone. Sometimes the imitation is so successful that it is understood that you are not brick facing, but vinyl, you can only toured the wall.
Mounted, as well as other species, on the crate, there is perforation and locks. The difference is that the base siding panel has a view of a non-long rectangle, but a certain segment of the wall with curly edges. These figured edges are joined. Accordingly, the crate must be adjusted under the dimensions of the fragment. When installing, first the edge of the panel is set in the lock already installed, achieve coincidence, and then fix. The main thing is when installing do not tighten the screws strongly, leaving the possibility of siding to move at temperature changes.
The lamp can be made of wooden processed bars (protective impregnation) or from the profiles for drywall (galvanized). How to mount baseline siding on the base. See in the video. Similarly, it is attached to the wall. Difference in squares.
Fibro cement plates and siding
Relatively recently appeared on our market a new facing: fibrotent plates and siding from the same material. They consist of wood fibra, quartz, mica, cement, may contain chlorine and asbestos (some materials applied only for external finishing). This mixture is molded into sheets, then in several stages it is dehydrated, according to some technologies is burned. Then a protective and decorative coating is applied to the surface:
The coating can be smooth - glossy and matte, can mimic brickwork, wood and other finishing materials. It is installed on the guide assembly strips, attached to the wall clearing. This material can be suitable if you do not know what to see the frame house outside: it creates a solid surface, the connections of the panels are sealed and the precipitate will not fall inside.
This house is also lined with fibric cement plates.
How to mount fibro-cement plates. Look in the video.
Fibro-cement siding is produced by the same technology, only molded in long stripes. They are mostly standard: 3600 * 190 * 12 mm. This material is cut by an electroltrol bike, installed on a wooden bracket (according to the bump principle) and nails are nailed or twisted with self-draws.
Thermophali.
Thermopanels are a material that performs two functions at once - cladding and outdoor insulation of houses. A layer of decorative coating is applied on the heat insulation layer in the factory. It looks like marble or natural stone, does not burn, has low water absorption characteristics.
Make this finishing material based on foam, mineral wool or extruded polystyrene foam. Depending on the type of insulation, the installation method is selected: polystyrene foam and foam glued to the appropriate composition. The joints are closed with a special aluminum bar or rubbing paste.
Based on mineral wool, only a special system of profiles is mounted, jokes are closed as well.
Very attractive idea - immediately and insulate the house, and bind. Excellent appearance, and the characteristics of such cladding is impressive. It is a pity that there is no less and feedback experience: Most recently it appeared.
There are still clinker thermopanels. Clinker tiles are glued on the insulation. The material is not cheap, but the characteristics are impressive, as well as a variety of finishes.
Another option of thermopanels - with clinker tiles
The choice of materials you can sow a house at any time - in winter or in summer - there is a lot. There are expensive options, there are cheaper. In any case, besides the cost, consider vapor permeability. Then you do not have to fight mold and dampness.
Facing materials for the facade of the building perform a protective and decorative role. They allow us to make a building not only attractive and respectable, but also to improve its operational characteristics. Let's figure out the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the peculiarities of the most popular materials for the outer decoration.
Requirements and norms
Today, the construction market presents many facade materials, characterized by the composition, properties, appearance.
In this regard, it is important to determine which material is suitable for a particular structure.
Choosing the material, the following criteria for its assessment should be taken into account:
- strength, reliability (the facade of the house is subject to large loads, including mechanical damage, so the coating must withstand them);
- moisture resistance (on how much the compositions for finishing the house are able to withstand moisture, its operational characteristics, appearance and durability);
- fire resistance (perfect material for finishing - non-flammable, although it is rare enough, so it is important to at least eliminate the self-ignition and allocation of toxins during combustion);
- the weather resistance (that is, resistance to the effects of nature factors, primarily UV rays);
- windproof properties of the material (an important criterion when choosing attached panels and plates mounted on modern buildings; The effect is achieved by special locking);
- frost resistance (coating ability to withstand freezing cycles and defrost without loss of material geometry and operational qualities);
- bioscistance (ability to resist the effects of pest insects, rodents, lack on the surface of mold and fungus);
- environmental friendliness (one of the most important criteria for finishing materials when lining a country house or any room involving accommodation or long-term people in it);
- long service life (a rare owner dreams every 2-5 years to change the cladding, so modern facade materials are calculated for 20-100 years of service);
- easy to care (most of the mounted materials do not require constant care and even have the ability to self-cleaning, others, for example, a tree, imply regular impregnation with special compositions).
If we talk about aesthetic criteria, then this is, of course, an attractive appearance.Today's facing compositions and stoves are distinguished by the variety of designs and textures (a further overview of exterior examples is a convincing confirmation). Separately, select the panels, imitating natural surfaces (stone, brick, wood, plaster). Modern technologies allow you to produce them as close as possible in your color and texture natural materials.
Sometimes it is impossible to imitate imitation even upon closer.
Exterior design
Used for finishing material causes ways to install it in connection with which The following facing options are distinguished:
- wet (construction mixtures);
- dry (finishing materials are fastened with bolts, dowels and other fasteners).
Depending on whether there is a small airspace between the facade and the wall, the facades are distinguished:
- ventilated (assume the presence of a gap between the material and the wall or the insulation required for the circulation of air and output of excess moisture);
- unbeatable (material is attached directly to the wall).
The material for outdoor treatment, as well as the type of facade, is determined by the characteristics of the structure. For example, for a house of foam blocks with optimal facing materials, a brick, stone or front tile will become, in other words, attachments, composite material and traditional facing.
For frame stem houses, it is better to use sheet shelves. The galvanized professionalist will provide additional support for the structure, but it will not require additional strengthening of the foundation.
It is important to combine insulating and facing materials correctly. The main rule is one of the components should be non-combustible. So, for fibrotent non-combustible plates you can use mineral wool insulation. Apply them in combination with vinyl siding is not recommended.
Wet and light plaster
Decorative plaster allows you to create an externally expensive, aesthetically attractive and original facade, which, if you wish, you can paint. It is an eco-friendly material that allows the walls to "breathe". Suitable for ventilated facades, however, the building needs high-quality inner sound and thermal insulation, since the plaster does not ensure insulation and protection against noise. All types of plasters are well transferring the differences of temperatures, moisture and direct sunlight are not afraid.
The disadvantages of the material is the complexity of application, the need for careful preparation of walls (alignment, preliminary antiseptic processing, applying primer compositions). In case of non-compliance with the installation technology, cracking and detachment of the plastered layer is possible.
The following varieties of plaster are distinguished.
- Mineral.The type of plaster, which is cheaper than you can separate the walls, which causes its widespread.
From explicit features - absolute non-combustion, which allows combining material with flammable insulation.
Suitable for all types of surface, but has low elasticity. This is the reason for the appearance of cracks during the shrinkage of the structure, which is why it is not suitable for newly constructed buildings. The service life on average is 12-15 years old.
- Acrylic. It is characterized by high elasticity, and therefore suitable for the design of the walls of even constructed buildings. Possessing higher terms and moisture resistance, demonstrates a longer, up to 18 years, operation period. The disadvantage of the acrylic mixture is its combustibility, so it should not be used in combination with combustible insulation, for example, mineral wool. It is usually combined with foam heat insulating materials. In addition, the surface attracts dust, and it is unacceptable to wash it. It is necessary to either regularly clean and care for the facade, or be prepared for the fact that it will quickly lose the external appeal.
- Silicate. Material with excellent operational properties, including high elasticity, ability to repel dust and pollution, a tendency to self-cleaning during rain and long service life. The latter reaches 30 years. Such characteristics are explained by the presence of potash glass in the composition. The peculiarity of the material is both its rapid frost, therefore it is necessary to apply the plaster promptly, a team of specialists will be required. In addition, it requires a special primer, which also increases the cost of installation work. The price for the mixture is also rather big.
- Silicone.Material, practically not having drawn faults, like all kinds of plasters, the composition is well tolerating heat and frost, temperature "jumps", the impact of moisture and direct UV rays, environmental and vapor permanent. At the same time, it is characterized by durability and increased wear resistance, not combustible, combined with all types of surfaces and insulation. The disadvantage is the high cost, which, however, is leveled by the increased technical characteristics of the mixture.
Hinged structures
Hinged structures involve the use of the crate to which the finishing material is mounted. This method is becoming increasingly popular because it allows you to create a ventilated facade, use the insulation of the desired thickness.
Thanks to the crate, you can hide the irregularities and small defects of the walls, and maintain installation even at negative temperatures.
The preache is usually made from wooden bars or metal profiles. The latter option is preferable because it does not require pre-processing of clamping elements with antipirens and similar compositions for wood.
A variety of attachments is considered siding.It is a panel, in size similar to the size of the boards. In this case, the material has special grooves and castle systems, thanks to which it is going like a children's constructor. This type of installation allows you to make it simple and operational, it is possible to maintain installation work all year round. Material has increased operational properties, including hydraulic protection.
The size and design of the material is very diverse. It can be both color models (bright glossy or more calm, neutral matte panels) and imitation of the texture of any natural material (brick, stone, wood). The material is easy to care - most surfaces have a function of self-cleaning. Waste cleaning cleaning is possible.
Allocate the following main types of siding panels.
- Plastic.At the heart - PVC, as well as various modifiers and pigments. Such panels are strong enough, but with enhanced mechanical impacts (blows) can crack. The material has moisture resistance, withstands high and low temperatures, their sharp shift, resistant to UV protection.
A low weight (up to 5 kg / sq. M) does not require the strengthening of the foundation. The disadvantage is the low fire safety indicator.
- Metal. At the heart of metallic siding - aluminum or galvanized steel profiles. Metallosing is characterized by a large margin of strength compared to PVC analog. Features of the technologies used, including special impregnation, provide anti-corrosion protection of the material, and with it and durability. It also demonstrates high weather resistance, but is used only on fortified grounds due to the increased weight of the material.
- Wooden.A wooden profile is dried and processed by antiseptics of the board or profile. The material is completely environmentally friendly, vapor permanent, has high thermal insulation indicators, resistant to high temperatures.
The finish with natural wood looks exquisitely and noble.
However, despite the processing of wooden panels with special compositions, the service life is short-lived. During operation, siding requires regular care.
- Fibro cement. The panels are made from cement mortar and dried cellulose, due to which the durable, wear-resistant material with increased sound and thermal insulation characteristics is obtained. Among the advantages are impact resistance, weather resistance, saving the shade of panels, even under the influence of direct sunlight, thanks to ceramic spraying, high indicators of moisture resistance. The composition of the material causes its high weight (up to 25 kg / sq. M), which makes it possible to use it only on fortified foundations.
Separately, the base siding should be selected, designed for cladding the lower part of the building. It has greater profiles thick, the best indicators of weather resistance and moisture resistance, resistance to mechanical damage. This is due to the fact that the central part of the house is more frequently exposed to shocks and other damage, freezing, moisture and other negative environmental factors.
The base siding is, rather rectangular panels. Their width is usually equal to the height of the base and starts from 60 cm. This causes the simplicity of installation.
Some similarity, from the point of view of fastening and possible materials used for manufacture, with siding have facade panels. They may have a square or rectangular shape, various dimensions. Some plates have a heater. Layout panels ensures their high performance properties.
Another popular attachment material is a sandwich panel. They represent the "sandwich", in which the "middle" of the insulation is laid between 2 layers of the hard material (usually metal). Strength and durability of the design is ensured by using the hot pressing method. The front side of Sandwich can be painted in any shade, be smooth or have relief.
The sandwich panels are characterized by high resistance to the effect of fire and moisture, demonstrate excellent thermal insulation properties with a small weight. The material is easy to install, and if it is damaged a separate area, it is possible to replace it only, without turning over the entire facade.
Ventilated facades can also be created using facade cassettes.
If earlier they were applied to cladding administrative buildings, then they are also separated by private buildings. This is due to the durability and reliability of the material, its weather resistance. Externally, the cassettes are squares and rectangles of aluminum, steel, less often copulated by a protective polymer layer. The size and design of the cassette may be different.
Materials for cladding: pros and cons
Each of the presented materials has characteristic advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, even within the same type, materials may have polar characteristics on a specific criterion. For example, fibro-cement and metallic siding are non-combustible, while plastic does not differ in high fire safety.
When selecting material, it is necessary to navigate not only on the pros and cons of the material, but also on the characteristics of the structure. So, for a wooden and brusade house, it is better to choose ventilated facades. In this regard, even the highest quality and expensive plaster will be given in its characteristics of siding or facing panels.
But brick or stone buildings (who are eco-friendly), it is preferable to arrange decorative plaster outside. Being completely natural, it contributes to the removal of moisture from the building, maintaining heat in the cold season and creating a pleasant coolness in the heat.
It is important to take into account climatic conditions. For example, a nearby wooden finish will quickly come into disrepair in seaside areas. Sew house is better than panels or plates. This hydraulic material will withstand squalid gusts of the wind and will literally push moisture.
Modern facing material must be distinguished by moisture resistance. Some surfaces (plastering, siding and panels, clinker tiles) have low moisture absorption, while others (most of the types of bricks) do not boast of similar characteristics.
The moisture resistance of the material directly affects how the facade is withstanding frost. With high moisture absorption in the pores of the coating, moisture accumulates, which at low temperatures is frozen and expands.
As a result, the surface is covered by cracks, the operational properties of the facing are lost, its appearance suffers.
Clinker tile
Visually, the material is the correct shape of the brick. The basis of the material is shale clay exposed to high-temperature firing. In the process of the last clay, changes its yellowish tint on terracotta, brown, beige (depends on the initial state of clay and the characteristics of the technologies used).
The main feature of the clinker is its increased strength, frost and seismic resistance.The advantages of the material are also high indicators of moisture resistance, resistance to temperature differences, environmental friendliness, variety of choice. It is suitable for registration of ventilated facades of buildings and has a sufficiently high cost. However, the price range is quite wide: from premium models to economy versions.
In addition to clinker, there are ceramic and concrete tiles. They are characterized by durability, wear resistance and low moisture absorption. The concrete tile does not carry out temperature drops, it may have a disturbed geometry, it has a considerable weight. The ceramic tile is suitable for both dry and wet mounted way.
Natural and artificial stone
Stone facing refers to the category of durable and durable. When choosing a natural stone, this should be done taking into account climatic conditions. So, marble is unsuitable for regions with high humidity, while limestone does not apply in the area with a harsh climate.
Natural stone is subject to complex processingincluding its cleansing, eliminating the radiation background, giving the desired form. Naturally, all this affects the cost of the finished product, which is very high. The high weight of the material necessarily requires the strengthening of the foundation. It is worth noting that the buildings decorated with natural stone looks respectable, and such a facade can be stopped to 100 years. True, with regular care.
Today, those who want to decorate their dwelling a marble stone are increasingly using an artificial counterpart. By its strength and wear resistance, this material is slightly inferior to the natural mineral, but it has a smaller cost and lightweight mass, simpler installation. At the heart of artificial stone - polyester resins, modifiers and pigments, as well as fine-flow stone crumb.
The latter and ensures the strength and attractive appearance of the material, and the resin is its increased moisture resistance, high antibacterial properties, self-cleaning ability.
As for the appearance, the material simulates any stone surface. At the same time, to detect the "substitution" is not always possible even under the closer look - are so close to the color and texture to the shade and structure of natural stone. The trim usually hides a cellular concrete or brick wall, less often - wooden surfaces.
Brick
It consists of only natural ingredients, so you can confidently declare its ecology. Moreover, the presence of micropores in the material allows the "breathe" walls, which contributes to the creation of a favorable climate in the building. In addition, the material is not afraid of frosts, sufficiently long time retains resistance to UV exposure.
Using different types of bricks and its masonry, it is possible to create original and unique facades. Big plus: If the facade fragment is damaged, point repair can be made. Laying brick is a rather laborious process that requires a professional approach. It is also important to use it only on a fortified foundation and after careful waterproofing of the base. Of the substantial minuses - low heat capacity.
Brick can differ in the composition and methodology of production, and therefore it is customary to allocate its following types.
- Clinker.The basis of the brick becomes a plastic clay that is subjected to burning and pressing. If we talk about the technical properties of the material, then it is the best among other types of bricks. Clinker modification is characterized by high mechanical strength, heat resistance and resistant to direct sunlight. The frost resistance of the material is 300 cycles. The clinker brick is resistant to aggressive media, has a low water absorption coefficient. The undoubted advantages are also environmental friendliness and ease of care - enough to wash the facade. Of the disadvantages - high cost and high weight. An alternative to this type of brick can be more subtle, and therefore lightweight, clinker tiles.
- Ceramic. A widespread kind of brick, which has a variety of colors and characterized by durability, resistant to temperature change, flame resistance and low cost. Unfortunately, water absorption of ceramic brick can reach 10%, which affects its frost resistance. In the presence of limestone, it will cause even more increased moisture absorption.
At the same time, the limestone will designate in the finished product with darker splashes.
It is among the parties of ceramic bricks that are often found materials with beaten angles and not the most impeccable, from the point of view of geometry, forms.
- Hyper pressed. The basis of such bricks are cement, special additives and sewers, subjected to semi-dry press. Visually material is difficult to distinguish from ceramic, however, it is characterized by lower moisture absorption (it is at the average level and is 5-6%) and, accordingly, the best frost resistance indicators, more accurate brick geometry. This durable and durable material is easy to install, but bricks are characterized by a lot of weight and a tendency to change the shade during operation.
- Silicate.As part of silicate bricks - a cement-sand mixture used by the production method - autoclaving. This ensures the price availability of the material. In addition to low cost, it is distinguished by proper geometry of forms, good sound insulation properties, strength. Moisture absorption is up to 15%, which causes the instability of silicate brick to frost. Large weight in combination with high thermal conductivity and less attractive aesthetic qualities - all this becomes the reason that buyers rarely choose a silicate brick for facing the facade.
Sheaving
The lining of the house, in contrast to the facing, performs 2 functions - decorative and carrier. The latter manifests itself primarily in the frameless buildings. There is a large load on the external trim, so the materials used are based on the metal (more often steel), which necessarily has anti-corrosion protection. The construction of the house is usually performed using special metal sheets or thermopanels.
Thermophali.
It is a material consisting of a foil layer with a fastening system, insulation and a decorative layer. The insulation is used polystyrene foam and its extruded version, as well as polyurethane foam. Preferences should be given to polyurethane foam products. The insulation in them contains the smallest air bubbles, which provides excellent thermal insulation indicators with a small weight product.
Clinker tiles are commonly used as a decorative layer.
As a result of the trim, the brickwork imitation is obtained, the choice of shades and textures is diverse.
The material is durable, 1.7 times the warmth of many of the materials considered. It is enough to simulate it, however it is important to comply with the fastening technology. Fix the material should be directly to the wall, avoiding the formation of airspace between the panels and the facade. This is due to the parangility of thermopanels.
Previously, the walls should be aligned, otherwise it is not to avoid the skewing of the sheath, which will lead to the loss of operational properties. The lifetime of the facing is up to 30 years.
Sheets
As the basis of the sheets for the outer sheaving, the steel is usually. It is covered with zinc layer, which makes it possible to achieve decent anti-corrosion indicators. Additional protection against environmental impact (primarily UV influence), as well as the decorativeness of the material is ensured by applying a polymer coating.
The strength of the material and its wind resistance is ensured by the features of the form: to create a ventilated trim, a profiled galvanized sheet is applied. Similar sheets are used and as roofing for decoration of the roof.
Such a finish method is applicable not only for residential buildings, but also for household buildings, garages. Proflists are distinguished by durability and durability, and new fixing systems guarantee ease of installation and durability. Choosing one or another shade or direction of "furrows", you can create unique exteriors.
Installation is made on the prepared frame. For insulation, you can choose polystyrene, mineral wool materials or acquire a professionalist, heat-insulated in factory conditions. The latest models are 2 professionalists, between which the insulation layer is deposited.
Combined solutions
Increasingly, the owners of private houses resort to the combined cladding of cottages. Such a method involves a combination of several textures within the boundaries of one facade. It is noteworthy that the difference in the textures is achieved both through the use of various materials and the use of the same material with the imitation of different surfaces.
The last method is more convenient from the point of view of installation and preparatory work, as well as care. In most cases, the base of the building, corners, small architectural elements, door and window openings are distinguished by a different material. The combined facade finish makes it possible to emphasize the complexity and sophistication of buildings of a complex configuration and add a highlight simple in the form of buildings.
Facing a private house is an important final stage of construction. And at this stage, most developers are chosen the cheapest finish of the facade of the house. Why is this happening?
On the one hand, the cladding of its own housing must comply with all the standards of reliability and aesthetics, and on the other, it is obvious that it is not worth throwing out a large amount of cash to the wind, without guarantees that such a decision will be fully justified.
Only one family of ten can afford to choose any finish option, without regard to its greater cost. The remaining 9 families, and this is 90 percent of developers try to save maximum and choose the cheapest way to finish the facade, sometimes even to the detriment of functionality and visual beauty.
To fall in extremes either will not be the most optimal option. If you stop on the budget version, you can lose on the operational characteristics of the facing material. As a result, he will not be well to resist adverse natural conditions, such as: wind, frost, snow, rain. On this score there is a saying "I pay twice twice."
Cheap facade house facing is quite real, just need to choose the most optimal option than to separate the facade of the house at which all the best characteristics of the material are taken into account. In order to competently separate your accommodation, it should be safely saved, you should decide on the main aspects of the material selection. If you buy a good and reliable finishing material, then this is already 50% of success.
Choosing a facing material
When choosing, you need to know that basically pay attention to the aesthetic characteristics already. There is no doubt that the "beauty" of such a cladding is a very subjective question, because it depends on the individual preferences of each host.
Nevertheless, there are such parameters of facing materials that will not be ignored anyway. You can choose the cheapest material for the facade, just need to look at such criteria as:
- the presence of the manufacturer of the facade material of the color lines;
- parameters of resistance to fading and external defects;
- what raw material is made of finishing material, including what he has ecology.
Another important criterion is the durability of the facade. When choosing an inexpensive material, you need to make sure that it does not have to change it every year. Because the cheap facade of the facade of the house, initially low-cost, can turn into annual renovations or repairs, which hurts on the wallet of the economical owner.
The final value of the installation of facade materials
How to get a brick cheap? Buy a good brick with small defects. This can be done at the factory or buy remnants from the dealer in the warehouse.
By choosing this inexpensive facing material, you can not fear that the facade of the house will observe. The only minus is that there is a chance of the appearance of hears.
Ceramic tile
Prices for the material are quite low, and the tile itself - the material is reliable, so the house facing by ceramic brick fully justifies the invested cash. The tile is mounted, as a rule, for a long time, but if you have the necessary information on installing facing bricks, you can perform work in the range from 5 to 8 weeks.
Facade melted primer
The facade primer is a material that has become very popular in the trim of facades in the shortest possible time. If the facade of the house is plastened in advance, it is best to use deep penetration primer to favors private housing. For that impregnated with an antiseptic to avoid the appearance of harmful beetles.
As you know, the appearance of the house must create a feeling of comfort and comfort. Therefore, you should not save too much, as it can badly affect the integrity of the house in the future.
Thermophali.
Another economical option is a thermopanel. The facade from this material has a lot of advantages, since it is used with a dense polystyrene foam, which contributes to excellent thermal insulation. In the summer, the house will be cool, and in winter it will not leave warmth.
The installation of thermopanels is carried out with the help of conventional screws, so almost everyone will be able to install themselves in the shortest possible time.
Another worthy advantage is that the panels can be installed at any time of the year, since the material has increased strength.
A natural stone
At all, it is impossible to call a natural stone facade with an economical option. However, where there is an opportunity to get this facade material in fact, it will be the cheapest way to finish the facade.
Where to get a natural stone for free? Go to the nearest quarry with your own trailer or try buying a stone with small defects at the dealer.
You can also buy stone residues after lining large houses. If your home is small, then the remains from the lining of the big house you will be enough to do.
The house performed by this material will look very beautiful. The stone will give him a very original and unique aesthetic appearance. Stone cladding technology is very simple.
First you need to prepare the basis. This stage includes alignment of the surface of the base, with the help of ordinary plaster. Then it is necessary to install extruded expanded polystyrene foam. It is attached with the help of self-tapping screws or dowels. Next to the surface of the slabs you need to apply acrylic primer. Preparatory work is completed by the fact that a steel grid is installed on the wall.
Then you need to decide on the mosaic, which will be filled with stone. You can draw a plan in advance in order not to be mistaken during the work. It should be very tried, as the appearance of the facade depends on this. Next, you need to sweep the seams and joints with the solution. After completing the work, experts advise on a stone special varnish to make the color of the material brighter and saturated.
In this way, you can protect the walls from wind, rain and frost. The facade facing natural stone will be the most reliable and, at the same time,.
Output. The cheapest facade of the house is possible if you have chosen the cheapest material for the facade or the material, when installing which you can save.
Also, if you have the opportunity to get very cheaply to get a dear facing material, it is he will give you the opportunity to make an expensive facade of the house of Zadeshevo.
Look, do you have any opportunities for a little money to take out non-condational natural stone or decorative brick with defects. For these materials, small defects are not critical, but this facade will be mounted on the century, and it will look very impressive.

On the question of how to separate the facade of the house, irresponsible is impossible. The fact is that this part of the design solves many important tasks:
- Protects the walls from the negative effect of atmospheric precipitation;
- Provides protection of the house from the heat in the summer;
- In winter, the facade provides comfort;
- In addition, it is this part of the structure that protects tenants from street noise.
Will your finish of the facade with all these functions - here much depends on what technologies and materials are used.
Stone House Facade Finish
If your home is made of stone, it is time to deal with the better to separate the facade. What is worth using:
- Brick;
- Stucco;
- Maybe a stone?
If you know features Each of the above materials will easier make a choice.
- Decorative brick;
- Vinyl siding;
- A rock.
Wooden facades Also do not lose their popularity, here are in demand such options as:
- Baked facade board;
- Half-timbered;
- "American".
Such a variety of finishes is due not only to the fact that wall structures need decoration - An important task is also: protection of material of walls from negative impacts from the outside.
Most popular materials for facade works
Let's talk about what the facade finish is usually not executed:
- Here you can mark the slagoblock;
- Ordinary brick;
- Gypsum bloks and foam blocks;
- Aerated concrete.
The above materials are chosen not often, as they have or low decorative characteristics, or have poor resistance against wind, temperature drops, precipitation.
Even a reliable and high-quality silicate brick, which is characterized by a spectacular, attractive appearance, is used to arrange the facade not often, since it is inferior in many indicators to its facing analogue.
So, what materials are used often, to separate the facade in the field of suburban construction?
Block house
Block House is one of the varieties of the lining, the facial surface of the material is very naturally imitates log-rounded log. Blockchaus is safe in environmental terms, is beneficial in terms of savings.
Separating the facade of the house by blockhaus (or a timber imitation) is better like this:
- Wooden double doom is performed;
- The first is needed so that the insulation can be paved;
- The second creates the necessary ventilated clearance and serves the main for the installation of the cladding;
- Ventilation is needed not only wood, but also mineral wool;
- Moreover, each panel is usually treated from the inside;
- It is necessary to protect against harmful insects and from rotting;
- Outside the blockchaus panel also accepted to process;
- So provide protection against precipitation.
Wet facade - what a feature
Thanks to a sufficiently moderate value, wonderful decorative and operational indicators, wet facades today are a fairly popular finish method.
The wet facade is often used today in order to complete the finish of walls possessing low vapor permeability.
- Plates of amplifier (such as extruded polystyrene foam, foam) is taken to be attached to a special adhesive solution.
- In addition, they are mandatory fixed with the help of a dowel
- Reinforcing mesh mounted from fiberglass
- It is thrown by mortar
So do in order to prevent the appearance of junctions in those places where the insulation plates are connected to each other.
- The top layer is rubbed;
- When he is completely dry, a special facade plaster is put on it;
- After this material is ground, paints paints that are designed for external work.
This method has one drawback - you have to perform "wet" work. That is, if you think than to separate the facade of the house and stopped at this option, consider seasonal restrictions.
Siding for facades
The term "siding" came to us from the English language. Translate to Russian This seems to be like "Outdoor Cleaning". This material today occupies a leading position in the housing home-building.
How to separate the facade of the house, if not siding? This material is mounted very easily, work is performed quickly. In other words, it is difficult to find something more profitable for facade cladding.
How to install:
- To start need a doomer (that is - carrying frame);
- It can be arranged from different materials: someone will choose a wooden bar;
- Another person will stop on a metal profile;
- Polyfoam, the thickness of which is not less than 20 mm, is ideal as insulation;
- If you are going for insulation to use mineral wool, be sure to provide the necessary air gap;
- This is due to the fact that Minvat is able to absorb the atmospheric moisture.
Vinyl siding for finishing facade
What is good vinyl siding for facing the facade? Here everything is simple: this material will give your building an aesthetic, finished look.
Vinyl siding - the material is not very expensive, while quite elastic and durable. Before using - weigh all the pros and cons, taking into account firefighters and environmental considerations.
In addition, before buying the material, find out everything on the operational parameters of the products of the manufacturer, the products of which are going to acquire.
Why it is necessary:
- There have been cases of warping, swelling on vinyl siding
- The appearance of cracks is noted
- If products are not high quality, it can have increased fragility in winter
- There are uneven burnout spots in the summer season.
Thus, you should make sure that you have chosen vinyl siding for finishing the facade will really cope with its task. After all, it is not, the result of the work will be noticeable to everyone.
In addition, it is known that the siding of the Polish brand Royal (like a joint venture of Belgium and the Russian Federation - Tecos) for two years of use slightly burns out from the south. In general, it is not quite critical, but pay attention to such. If we talk about mechanical characteristics, then there are no complaints at all.
Siding from Fibrocement
Not so long ago, not many know about such a material - because of the enormous popularity of vinyl siding. But consumers in the Russian Federation decided to pay attention to the facade finish, which is based on cement.
This finishing material is tested by time, for the first time it began to use it in the European countries a hundred years ago. It is distinguished by strength, safe from the point of view of fire safety, fibro-cement siding is not afraid of biological corrosion and moisture impact.
If you find information that siding from Fibroter today is not in demand in private construction and is not safe to human health - know: this information is obsolete. Indeed, once a long time for the manufacture of such material was used asbestos - a substance, harmful to people, but today this situation is completely excluded.
Instead of asbestos, in our time, only environmentally friendly cellulose is used in our time.
Cement siding It looks great, moreover, after installing it, you can paint - thanks to this capabilities, the owner of a country house can get somehow shade. Which is also characteristic, certain material producers issue a solid warranty for cement siding - in some cases the stated service life is 50 years.
Steel siding for facades
The material of steel is relatively expensive, while often it is necessary to spend money on different anti-corrosion products - therefore steel siding for the facade is not often used, especially if you need to separate the private structure.
At the same time, many owners choose the metal material, since it is more solid.
In principle, steel siding can be separated a house - it is welcomed from the point of view of fire safety, so that fire hazardous objects from such a finish will only benefit.
Canadian "Wooden" Siding
If we talk about what the facade of the house can be separated, Canadian siding cannot be accessed. This Wooden Material, that is, is an environmentally friendly, aesthetic, in a special presentation it does not need.
And now more details:
- Despite all its positive properties, such an excellent coating inherits all the cons of wood;
- Consequently, the service life of such siding is relatively small;
- It is expensive, it is elastic to a lesser extent (in contrast to analogs);
- When installing from the builder, accuracy is required;
- The hosts during the operation of Canadian siding should timely take care of such susceptible and "capricious" material.
Thermopanels (thermal insulation facade panels)
This material is young enough, but has already managed to conquer confidence:
- It is used both for insulation and for the decorative trim of the facade
- Widely used in Europe and in the Russian Federation
- This was made possible thanks to the newest, the hardest requirements of SNiP of February 23, 2003 - the section "Thermal protection of buildings".
What are the thermopanels:
- This is light, but very durable material;
- Manufactured on the basis of polyurethane foam, extrusion polystyrene foam or foam, which provides impressive heat capacity;
- The technology assumes the possibility of creating a monolithic single layer, which will perform the function of the thermos (coolness will be maintained in summer, heat - in winter);
- Thermopanels for finishing the facade can be attached to various surfaces (foam concrete and fuel-concrete blocks, wood, concrete, glass adhesive sheets, brick).
Plasters used to finish facades
Pay attention to the following options - they are often chosen, to separate the facade of the house :
Ordinary plaster
This decision can be called traditional, so the popularity of plaster is deserved. Due to the fact that there are a lot of modern technologies for finishing the facade, the owner of a private house is always a choice - how to achieve high-quality relief on the walls.
What can I say about plaster?
- The main limitation here is the complexity;
- To put the stucco with an amateur at all is not just - here you need a qualified work;
- Attempts to mechanize the process were, but did not give special success;
- Thus, the plaster on the facade is applied by "Dedov's" ways - only with minor additions.
Polymer (acrylic) plaster
This material falls on sale in the form of a completely finished mixture. It has a water-dispersive basis (it is not required to be checked, that is, you can not be afraid of erroneous dosages when cooking).
- The mixture is easily kernel - that is, the choice of color is not limited
- In the presence of strength;
- Elasticity;
- Plaster has high resistance against different popsies of nature.
Minuses:
- Parry permeability - low;
- It is not recommended to use on those facades where cotton insulation was used.
pros:
- The cost is moderate (if compared with silicate and silicone plasters), but higher than that of mineral;
- Durability is 50 years;
- Frost resistance: 50 cycles.
Lime-cement (mineral plaster)
This material can be called very durable, while it is the cheapest. Through years, the hardness of the coating will only increase - it is also highly appreciated. Mineral plaster differs in high pH reagent, has resistant against the occurrence of biological corrosion.
The choice of colors from manufacturers is not very big if you want to use a wide color gamut - it is better to look at another finishing material. Usually do this: they apply white mineral plaster, and then additionally - silicate facade paint.
disadvantages:
- Elasticity is low;
- Adhesion to the base is low;
Dignity:
- Durability is more than thirty years;
- The cost is acceptable to any family;
- The frost resistance rate is 75 cycles.
Silicone plaster
If you think about it to separate the facade of the house, and came to the conclusion that it is worth using silicone plaster, that's what you should know about this material:
- Its base is silicone modified resin;
- An acrylate organic binder is also added to the composition;
- Also include pigments and mineral fillers;
- If the budget allows, such plaster can be called the most successful choice for finishing the facade.
Silicone Plaster - the most expensive among all existing. The durability of the material is more than sixty years. The frost resistance rate is 60 cycles.
By the way, the facade paints are also accepted to divide on different types. (as well as plaster):
- There are acrylic paints for facades;
- Silicate;
- Silicone.
Silicate plaster
Thanks to this material, a durable, durable coating.
- Silicate plaster based on liquid glass is manufactured;
- Due to this, high vapor permeability is ensured;
- This indicator is much higher than that of acrylic and mineral plasters;
- In addition, in the presence of resistance against biological corrosion.
You can safely apply silicate plaster on any mineral bases. It is characterized by neutral electrostaticity - dirt and dust are not attracted.
- Among the disadvantages: a small color range.
Other finishing materials
If you still have not decided for yourself than to separate the facade of the house, we bring to your attention another series suitable and affordable materials today.
Porcelain stoneware (tile)
This material for finishing facades (and not only) is artificial, but at the same time it has high performance indicators. Once the tile was used mainly for the arrangement of the floors - today the situation has changed - the porcelain stoneware is actively used to cover the walls of different architectural structures.
Many specialists believe that porcelain stoneware is the perfect material for plating ventilated facades.
Facing brick
Facing ceramic brick has different advantages:
- High mechanical strength;
- Resistance against wind, water, ultraviolet;
- Excellent reaction to temperature differences.
However, certain disadvantages There are even this material:
- Low thermal insulation level;
- A fairly large mass;
- High price.
It is because of the above disadvantages. Recently, the facing brick is given its position as a material for finishing facades.
To the thickness of your brick wall corresponding to the SNiP - including, the requirements for protection against heat loss, it should be 800-900 mm! And this is quite expensive, in addition, in this case the building will require a serious foundation. However, if we are talking about a low-rise structure, such a wall will have a slightly excessive strength.
In extreme cases, applied welding masonry:
- Between facing material and ordinary bricks create a gap;
- Fill it with heat insulator;
- This approach to the case contributes to a decrease in the total thickness of the wall one and a half times;
- This indicator is reduced to two, if applied warm facade systems.
Ventilated suspended facade
This method can be called the most common for those walls that have high vapor permeability.
The essence here is what: form the carrier frame, which provides the clearance required for circulation, between the facing and insulation.
The function of the insulation perfectly performs mineral wool - It is often used for this.
I.e, the process of arrangement of the ventilated suspension facade looks like this:
- The wall of the brackets is installed on the wall;
- They must be made of metal profile;
- The height of the brackets should be such that it can be possible to place the insulating material without any problems;
- In addition, there is a vapor-permeable membrane;
- Do not forget also about the arrangement of the gap of the corresponding thickness.
Mineral wool mats should be strengthened!
- This is done with glue;
- Sometimes an umbrella plastic dowel is used for additional strength;
- The membrane is stacked from above - it is whether it prevents the destruction of the material;
- But due to such a system, the pair of water weathered without any problems;
- Metal profiles are installed on the brackets;
- It is they who act as a support for the subsequent installation of the facing of the ventilated facade.
The cladding itself can be somehow - there will be any wrestling or sheet material here - even though the composite panels, at least a professional flooring, are even installed a porcelain stoneware.
Use one or another option is only for you. The main thing is to remember: the use of any of the materials involves its features:
- In terms of step;
- By fastening method;
- According to the material of the root;
- Composite panels, for example, should be attached solely on aluminum profiles.
We offer you a cognitive video: how to install the suspended ventilated facade with your own hands. This lesson will surely give an answer to many urgent questions about whether to separate the facade.
Fake diamond
This type of finish is chosen because the surface acquires a more decorative appearance. The fact is that the artificial stone externally fully meets its natural analogue.
But the material created by a person weighs much less (somewhere one and a half times), finishing work with it is easier - any collection offers to buyers different additional elements for cladding. So you can make anything, including:
- Joints;
- Corners;
- Doorks;
- Window Pieces.
That is, installation works are simplified as much as possible..
In processing, artificial stone is very militant, in addition, it is distinguished by strength, is environmentally friendly (which is also highly appreciated lately).
Installation without problems is made on any basis.
But remember: this finish is afraid of moisture. So, in those places where natural moisture is a lot, the surface decorated with artificial stone should be additionally processed - for this there are various hydrophobic solutions.
Output: How to separate the facade of the house - the question is very important. After all, the finish is needed not only in order to further strengthen the external walls of your home. The high-quality installation of the finishing material extends the life of the entire structure, significantly decorates the plot - it is really created something very beautiful, original. Random passerby can easily conclude about the tenants of one or another home - just look at the finish of the facade.
