Facades of high-rise buildings

The facade of the building is the face of the whole building. That is why, after construction, the facade of a multi-storey building is increasingly being finished. This allows not only to give the building an aesthetic look, for example, the usual panel five-storey building, but also to warm it additionally.

How are finishing works

To conduct exterior decoration of high-rise buildings, will require specialized personnel. Industrial climbers are teams of workers who undergo special training and are given permission to work at height.

Their equipment includes all the necessary tools: winches, hooks and lifts, all this will allow you to quickly and accurately complete the finish.

Finishing options

Multi-storey houses can be divided into two groups according to the method of finishing:

1. Residential high-rise building. As a rule, certain materials are selected for finishing and a contract is drawn up with the workers.
2. Residential house of mixed type. This is when shops and offices are located on the first floors. For such buildings, an individual approach to the choice of material is needed, because completely different equipment and materials are required to finish the lower floors.

What influences the choice of material

The modern market offers a variety of materials for finishing multi-storey buildings. First of all, when choosing a material, the following factors should be taken into account:

1. Features of high-rise construction.
2. The functionality of the material.
3. Climatic conditions.

Note! As a rule, it is the climatic factor that has the greatest influence on the choice of material, because many finishing options allow not only to give the building an aesthetic look, but also to insulate it further.

Wet facade

This name was given to finishing because there is a liquid in the material used for finishing. Simply put, finishing is done with plaster, and water is used to dilute the mixture.

Front systems of wet type can be three options of execution:

1. Plastered facades based on mineral insulation material. In this embodiment, mineral wool is used for insulation, which is attached to the reinforcing layer. After finishing the building is subject to finishing with mineral or silicate plaster.
2. Organic facade systems. Here, a polystyrene foam plate is used as a heater, which is also mounted on a reinforcing layer. A finish is carried out with silicone or organic plaster.
3. Combined facades. In these systems, any kind of insulation is used, and organic material is used for decoration.

Ventilated facades

Such systems also create good thermal insulation, and the facades of multi-storey buildings, finished in this way, take on an individual look.

Today, such facades are used to finish any building. Assembly technology is as follows.

1. First, the metal frame is mounted on the entire surface.
2. Between him lay insulation.
3. The final stage - the installation of the upper screen.

Note! This option is good because when installing the facade between the wall of the building and the finish coating there is an air gap that serves as good ventilation. Due to this, the walls do not get wet, and fungus will not start on them.

Advantages of ventilated facades

Ventilated facades have lots of positive sides.

Thermal insulation

The use of heaters allows you to save on heating, as well as reduce the load bearing walls, by reducing the thickness of the brickwork.

Weather protection

The design of the facade is arranged in such a way that the moisture falling on the walls is discharged through the drainage, bypassing the walls and the insulation material. At the same time, a windproof membrane installed inside the facade prevents the weathering of the fibers.

Fire and soundproofing

Materials, используемые для устройства вентилируемых фасадов, препятствуют распространению огня. А звукопоглощающие свойства, которыми обладает система, в два раза повышают звукоизоляцию бетонных стен.

Materials

When finishing a multi-storey building with a ventilated facade system, several types of materials are used:

1. Aluminum panel. This material is good because of its anti-corrosion qualities, durability, and given its low weight, it can be mounted on the surface of any structure.
2. Vinyl siding. The panels of this material are very convenient to sheathe the facades of two-storey buildings, as well as the outer floors of high-rise buildings. Its service life is up to 50 years. The strength of aluminum panels is superior to vinyl, but the main argument of vinyl panels is a low cost, and, like the first option, it provides insulation for insulation.
3. Composite facade panels. This is an unpretentious material, it is durable, easy to clean and has a neat appearance. In addition to the listed materials, marble or porcelain stoneware are used to finish the coating of ventilated facades. This is, of course, a beautiful material in its own way, but, given the heavy weight, before carrying out such a lining, you will have to take care of the device of the reinforced supporting structure.
4. Glass facade. Such a finish is only gaining popularity in Russia, and is considered one of the promising areas. Such facades are constructed of high-strength glass plates that are attached to a metal frame.

Modern technology can significantly transform any high-rise building and additionally provide protection for load-bearing structures.
