Facade

Exterior decoration of the facade is an integral part of the final stage of construction of the building. If in most cases plaster was used as a finishing material, it is now customary to install a ventilated facade. In this article we will explain how to make a ventilated facade with your own hands, as well as show photos and videos.

What is a

Ventilated facade

What is a ventilated facade? This new technology is exterior cladding of the building. It is made in the form of a durable frame on which facing materials are fixed.

The frame is made of the following materials:

  • galvanized steel,
  • aluminum,
  • stainless steel.

Due to the design features of the facade between it and the building remains an empty space in which air can freely circulate. A high level of ventilation prevents moisture, condensation and fumes from settling on the walls of a building. Often ventilated facade is used as an additional insulation. In this case, the building is veneered with insulating materials. In most cases, it is customary to use mineral wool insulation or expanded polystyrene material.

The design of the ventilated facade has a number of features:

  • It has a high level of thermal conductivity.
  • Provides additional ventilation.
  • It relieves the building of moisture and moisture.
  • It helps to save money when purchasing building materials.
  • It can be used for cladding buildings of various types of materials.
  • Supports the ability to install a facade of any color.
  • It has a high level of sound insulation.
  • Reduces the cost of the heating system.
  • It has a long service life (more than half a century).
  • Resistant to external damage.
  • It is mounted in a short time.
  • It is characterized by ease of assembly and installation process.

In addition to positive qualities, there are also disadvantages:

  • Failure to comply with the basic rules of operation may pose a risk of ignition of materials.
  • The installation procedure is recommended under the supervision of professionals.
  • The installation of ventilated facades is not subject to the rules of GOST.
  • When installing a ventilated facade by unqualified workers, there is a risk of damage and destruction of the building.

Standard ventilated facade has the following composition:

  1. On the walls of the building is attached layer of insulation.
  2. It must be secured with a specialized vapor barrier film. It will protect the material from external influence and prevent its destruction. Also, the film has a hydroprotective function.
  3. For the implementation of the ventilation air gap is installed. Its standard width is at least 4 cm.
  4. Outer layer Usually a decorative material. It serves as an additional protection of the facade from mechanical damage.

The choice of insulation

The choice of insulation

Ventilated facade обязательно подвергается процедуре утепления. Для этого можно использовать следующие типы материалов:

  • Mineral wool. One of the most commonly used types of insulation. It has a high level of heat preservation, vapor permeability and has a low cost.
  • Basalt cotton wool. Hard enough and durable material. Available in rolls and slabs.
  • Styrofoam. High level of thermal insulation. Resistant to moisture. It has low vapor permeability.
  • Styrofoam. The material has a high level of strength. It has a fairly high cost. Also has low vapor permeability properties.

Circulation of air in the ventilated space is achieved by the installed sheathing. It can be made of timber or galvanized profile.

Facing is not only a decorative function, but also protects the facade from the damaging effects of the environment.

Types of materials used:

  1. Wooden lining.
  2. PVC panels.
  3. Tile from a natural or artificial stone.
  4. Panels of composite.
  5. Porcelain stoneware tiles.
  6. Siding.
  7. Block house.
  8. Slate.

Preparation for work

The preparation process includes the following steps:

  1. Marking and site preparation in accordance with the technical requirements.
  2. Setting and marking the boundaries of the work.
  3. Inspection and assessment of the state of the facade.

Assembly process

Assembly process

How to make a ventilated facade yourself? Consider the main stages of work:

  1. Surface preparation. Cleaning the walls from dust and dirt. Impregnation of walls with a bactericidal solution.
  2. Marking the surface to install the frame.
  3. Fixing brackets in marked places. They are necessary for holding and fixing frame panels. To fix the brackets in the wall, you must install them with anchors. Anchors must be coated with an anti-corrosion agent.
  4. Installation and fixing insulation. In the surface of the walls it is necessary to make holes in which the anchors are fixed from plastic with a steel core. Insulation panels are fixed on the wall with an anchor cap.
  5. Installation and securing a layer of waterproofing film.
  6. Installing the retaining frame. It is necessary to install horizontal and vertical guides. They should be fixed with screws.
  7. On the finished frame is installing decorative plates. Installation must be carried out horizontally, starting from the bottom row. The formation of gaps and openings between the plates must not be allowed. Joints resulting from the work, you can close the special panels.

Installation Tips

Installation Tips

  • Panels should be able to move freely in the vertical direction. This will ensure an optimal level of air circulation.
  • If the frame is made of stainless steel, this will give the facade additional protection against fire.
  • With strict observance of all phases of work, you can achieve the maximum service life of materials.
  • All materials used in the work must be free from defects and damage.
  • To ensure the maximum level of thermal insulation and good circulation of air masses it is not recommended to violate the installation technology.
  • Before starting work, it is necessary to carry out accurate calculations of the amount of material used.

After reading our article to the end, you already know all the advantages and disadvantages of a ventilated facade and can independently make the right decision whether to use this type of exterior decoration of the building or not.
