Metal siding under the bar: installation features and scope

A private house may well require facing the facade, and this work can be done in several ways. Among them, metal siding for timber, this type of finish legitimately takes its popular place.

Montiable siding

Само слово «Siding», в переводе с английского означает «облицовка», поэтому любая разновидность облицовки обуславливается уже просто выбором материала.

Most often under this kind of veneer refers to vinyl siding. However, this is not the only cladding material, and the option of metal siding attracts with its properties not less, and in some specific situations even more.

Technical features

The main technical points lie in the field of production of the product, they can be designated as follows:

• Metal siding is usually denoted to metal panels up to 550 mm wide and 1 mm thick.
• Cold-rolled hot-dip galvanized steel takes part in the production.
• Plastisol, Pural or Polyester is used as a coating.
• The color scheme involves the use of one tone or different shades.
• All panels are equipped with special locks, which allows you to carry out lining without any problems
• The product itself is attached either smooth or perforated plates that can be attached to a nail or screw.

From the point of view of external data, siding can act as a smooth material, and in the form of a kind of Christmas tree or ship's timber. Interestingly, metal siding always acts as a decorative element, which instantly gives the facade a completely different appearance.

Note! As a rule, the panels are mounted in a horizontal position, but you can also fix them vertically, it does not matter, unless you want to change the external image of the facade.

There is another kind of cladding, which is called metal siding on the euro beam. This is a special panel that can consist of either one row or two. In appearance, it completely repeats the type of profiled beam.

There is also a special, castle mount. As a rule, eurobar is presented in two series:

• EcoLine The series is characterized by the color of the natural bar (for example, from larch).
• Standard. Here you can choose almost any color.

In addition, you can bring the features and advantages that metal siding has to Eurobar similar:

• First of all, it is a harmonious combination of the appearance of the wooden beam and the properties of the metal.
• The material is perfectly combined with other types of siding.
• Even without processing, the material can last for about 20 years without the slightest changes.
• You can install at any temperature, and most importantly, in any climatic zones.
• Metal siding is not subjected to deformation due to temperature changes, here the low coefficient of expansion plays its part.
• Resistance to precipitation, sunlight.
• Does not represent a serious load for the foundation of the house, the weight of the product is only 4.2 kg per 1 sq. meter.
• High reflectance performance prevents the facade from heating from sunlight.

Note! The great advantage of this type of lining is the possibility of high-quality insulation of the facade, as a result of which the costs for heating the house during the winter period are significantly reduced.

Where to apply

First of all, metal siding under the timber, this is an option for facing the facade. All its main properties and advantages suggest that this product interacts well with the external environment. For internal work it makes no sense to use metal plates.

In addition, because of its strength, siding is great not just for facade work, but for facing the basement. The fact is that it is the base that most often can be subjected to mechanical damage, blows, and here it is constantly in contact with melt water and snow in winter.

Appearance, and most importantly, all indicators of strength allow you to install the siding on the level of the basement, even if you do not intend to work on the entire facade, and this will bring its "fruits".

Basics of installation

Installation involves very simple steps and the instruction here is, indeed, completely easy to implement on your own.

You can consider step by step all the work:

• Calculate the amount of material. To do this, it will be necessary to calculate the surface area under which the lining will be carried out. The formula here is normal, the length is multiplied by the height.
• Next, the size of the material is selected. For example, the most common length is 3 meters, width is 210 mm. And from these indicators can proceed.
• If there is a surface area for facing, it is possible to calculate the amount of insulation and the amount of lath for the batten.

To clearly demonstrate how to calculate the crate, and calculate the amount of material you can give an example of a single-storey house 8x8m. The height of the wall is 3 meters. Thus, the total area of ​​the walls is 8 * 3 * 4 = 96 square meters.

Next, you need to calculate the area of ​​windows and doorways. These are individual calculations, because we are talking about a private house, and there the developer is free to choose the window size itself and the number of openings.

On average, you can stay at 20% of the total area, totaling 76.8 square meters. meters. This is the amount of material required

The crate is even easier to calculate. Take into account the step distance, 0.6 meters, and a height of 3 meters. It is considered the perimeter of the house, in this example, it is 8 * 4 = 32.

Further, the perimeter is divided by 0.6 and it turns out 53.3 vertical racks. It turns out that in running meters it will take 53.3 * 3 = 160 running meters of the bar for the sheathing.

The price of a bar of 50x50 mm under the crate is small, so you can always safely buy 15-20 meters more, in case of unforeseen situations.

Job

Considering that after facing, access to the supporting walls will be blocked, the preparation of the wall plays an important role. All metal objects should be removed from it, the surface is treated with special impregnations, and after everything is dry, you can start facing.

Facing is carried out in stages:

• Markup is done. It is not always possible to get exactly 60 cm pitch, so one or two distances between the bar will have to be made less than 0.6 m.
• Mounted obreshetka. Fastening is made by screws, at an angle of 45 degrees. Self-tapping screws are installed in 50 by 6-7 pieces per timber.
• The imitation of a bar from metal siding is installed on the first row.

Note! The first row will also be a kind of guide, on which depends how much the entire lining goes smoothly. Therefore, he exhibited with the greatest attention and accuracy, and always strictly on the construction level.

Further, the imitation of the bar with metal siding is completely safely installed in the lock and each new plate “snaps”, and is attached to the bar with a self-tapping screw (also learn how to insulate the house from the bar outside).

As for the insulation. Insulating work is carried out immediately, as installed lathing. First installed vapor barrier film, and then the mineral wool. The casing step of 60 cm was also due to the fact that it is the ideal width for fixing the insulation mat.

And it is not necessary to fasten the mats, they tightly "sit" in the allotted space between the crates of the bars.

Conclusion

As can be seen from the foregoing, it is very easy to install metal siding onto timber, and this process will require neither specific skills nor special tools. And if you are the owner of a cottage from a real timber, then you may not need any siding at all.

Roulettes, hacksaws and a screwdriver with a building level will be quite enough.
