Building

Aerated concrete blocks are one of the most popular materials for modern builders. They are environmentally friendly, have good thermal conductivity and have excellent strength. However, their appearance and structure, which does not allow to fully replace the insulation, often raises the question of how to finish aerated concrete outside and inside the building.

Facade

For a start it is worth saying that there are so many ways to work this type of work. All of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, and have certain characteristics. Therefore, if the work is done by hand, then it is worth exploring the most popular ones.

The use of facing stone and brick for the manufacture of facades in the houses of aerated concrete

Brick

The use of finishing bricks can be considered the most expensive, but at the same time the most qualitative option of aerated concrete lining.

It not only creates a good appearance, but actually strengthens the structure itself.

Some masters prefer to use for this purpose an artificial stone, which is fixed directly on the surface of the block using special mixtures.
  • It should be noted that with this method of installation a space is created between the two walls, which is filled with insulation. This makes it possible to get maximum protection from the cold, which is very important in regions with severe winters.
  • It is important to mention that this type of finish can use diamond drilling of holes in concrete, since it is necessary to insert metal fonts to bundle all the structural elements..
  • It is very important in this production of facades to leave small spaces for free access of air.. This will allow the walls to "breathe" and reduce the likelihood of condensation.

Tip! Choosing this method of creating a facade, it is worth preparing in advance for high costs, not only for the material, but also for the cost of the work.

Siding

All such finishing options involve the manufacture of crates, which will subsequently be installed finishing material.

  • Стоит отметить, что при этом также используется утеплитель для газобетона, который не препятствует прохождению воздуха, что оставляет за стенами способность «дышать». The fact is that aerated concrete has this characteristic and you should not get rid of it with the help of finishing.

  • When performing such work, it may be necessary to cut the reinforced concrete with diamond circles.. The fact is that when installing the crates, it is sometimes necessary to make grooves or seats not only in the wall itself, but also in the floor slabs.

Tip! This method can be called the most optimal, since it does not hinder the access of air to the structure and at the same time creates excellent insulation and a good appearance.

Some types of cladding materials have special types of fastening, which were developed specifically for them.

Putty

This type of facade design consists of installing polystyrene foam insulation on the surface of the walls, which is subsequently puttied.

The use of plaster mixtures or putty for finishing the facade of the building
  • It is believed that the price of such work is the lowest, and it does not take much time.. However, the quality of such insulation does not always meet the necessary requirements, and the appearance of the structure directly depends on the chosen putty, the cost of which directly depends on the quality and the final appearance.
  • Also as a topcoat a similar method involves the use of dye. Therefore, you can always choose the right colors or create a certain combination.

Tip! When performing such work, be sure to use a reinforcing mesh. It will strengthen the putty in a large area.

Interior finish

Such a finish can also be very diverse and use almost any material. In this case, it all depends on the personal preferences of the master and the wishes of the customer.

Some masters prefer to first put a small layer of plaster on the wall and only then install the batten

Linen

This interior decoration of aerated concrete blocks is considered one of the most optimal and competes only with gypsum plasterboard:

  • It involves the creation of crates, which will later be fixed final material. In this case, the finish coating can be both wood and plastic.
Wooden lining looks best inside the room, but if you prefer, you can use laminated panels.
  • Professional masters say that this method of finishing is the easiest and does not require much time or money..

Tip! Currently, there is a huge selection of products of this type, which are perfect for the task. However, they must be chosen according to the technical characteristics of the room.

Finishing with drywall allows you to get almost perfectly smooth walls

Plasterboard

Typically, the interior walls of aerated gypsum is made using planting plaster. This is due to the fact that the walls must be fairly smooth, and the insulation is done outside.

Therefore, to spend time and money on the creation of crates does not make sense.

As with the installation of wall paneling, and when installing drywall, you can make additional insulation
  • It is worth noting that after installing drywall usually putty is produced, and then applying a topcoat. As it can be applied wallpaper or paint.
  • It is worth noting that drywall is perfectly breathable and therefore will not have an impact on aerated concretewhich possesses the same qualities.

Tip! Professional craftsmen are usually not limited to one plaster and install two or three guides.

When plastering such surfaces is recommended to use a reinforcing mesh

Plaster mixes

Very often, the finishing of aerated concrete walls is made with the help of special plaster mixtures intended for interior work.

They look great on the surface and can have a different color and relief.

  • It should be noted that this type of material is quite diverse and can have not only a different component, but also the method of installation. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to study in detail all the recommendations that the instruction gives to the selected composition.
  • It is very important to remember that this design does not always look good when interior decoration. Therefore, it is resorted to only in certain areas.

Tip! Professional craftsmen usually dilute the pigment in the plaster mix solution and do not paint the created coating. So with the appearance of small damage or scratches will not appear white marks.

Conclusion

After reading the video in this article, you can examine in detail all the ways to finish the walls of this material. Also, taking as a basis the text that is presented above, it is necessary to conclude that the choice of a specific coverage depends only on the personal preferences of the master and the technical characteristics of the room.
