How to revet the facade of the house

The facade is the main part of the building, which, first of all, is paid attention to by everyone who comes to the house, as well as bystanders. With the help of high-quality finishing, you can give the building a decent look and ensure that the house stands out against other similar buildings for its elegance and originality.

Presently, having various finishing materials and using special tools and technologies of finishing, it is possible to turn an ordinary facade into a real masterpiece. To create a high-quality facade requires a serious professional approach, accurate calculation and a lot of money.

The appearance of housing depends on the personal preferences of its owner. Even before deciding how to veneer the facade of the house, it is important to take into account the functional requirements for these structures, as well as the bearing capacity of the walls of the building.

Modern exterior decoration materials

For professional reconstruction of the facade, the modern construction industry offers a variety of cladding materials, the installation of which is carried out according to the appropriate technology. With the help of such decoration, you can eliminate various defects of the building and achieve excellent results - correct geometric deviations and irregularities, repair dilapidated facades, insulate the building and perform decorative finishing.

Such materials are:

• stoneware or clinker tiles;
• natural or artificial stone;
• plastic panels;
• siding;
• block house.

Next, we take a closer look at the types of facades of the house.

Traditionally, the facades of houses finished with plaster, followed by painting. The plaster is usually applied on a previously prepared substrate, and in case the plaster layer is more than 12 mm, a reinforcing mesh is used. This method will prevent the formation of cracks in the plaster during operation of the building. The finished surface can be smooth or decorative. To give the applied layer a decorative effect, special rollers and stamps are used.

There are so-called wet plaster compositions with various decorative inclusions and color pigments. As a result of such plastering the surface becomes rough and does not need painting.

Plaster is combined with a decorative stone - natural or artificial. The use of decorative stone may be fragmented, for example, at the corners of a building, on the basement, window openings around the perimeter, columns or projections of the structure.

Natural stone trim

Natural stone in the decoration of facades is used as an independent material. It is laid on the cement mortar, and the seams are filled with grout and leveled. This is an expensive and time-consuming type of finish, but due to the durability of the material, the facade for many years will have an excellent appearance. A facade trimmed with a decorative stone, smooth or crushed, will resemble a medieval castle.

Not everyone can afford to decorate the house with natural stone. In this case, artificial stone is used as an alternative for cladding. This material can be an imitation of expensive stone rocks of various colors. Sometimes an artificial stone cannot be distinguished from a natural one, therefore such a facade will look expensive and luxurious.

The advantage of this type of finish compared with natural stone is that the cost of its acquisition is much lower. This material does not burn, does not rot, has a relatively small weight.

Clinker tiles that mimic clinker bricks are also successfully used for finishing facades. She is not afraid of temperature extremes and atmospheric influences. This finishing material is made from natural ingredients in a variety of colors and textures.

Brick Cladding

Facing bricks are also often used to finish the facade.

Such a finish performs not only a decorative function, as the insulation of the brick is closed with a layer of bricks.

Clinker Thermopanels

With the help of clinker thermopanels, two tasks can be solved simultaneously - to insulate and finish the facade of both the new building and the one already in use. The facade of the clinker panels practically does not differ from the facade of natural brick, and the cost of construction work is significantly lower.

In order to prevent damage to finishing materials by atmospheric precipitation, it is necessary to build gutters.

Porcelain stoneware finish

Керамогранит, или искусственный гранит, применяют для облицовки вентилируемых фасадов. Этот материал отличается долговечностью, способностью выдерживать атмосферные и химические воздействия. Porcelain stoneware finish производится в любое время года. Благодаря естественной вентиляции не образуется конденсат, и не развиваются плесень и грибок.

The ventilated facade in the cold period reduces the thermal conductivity of the house, and in the hot season does not heat the walls. Metal bearing profiles that are resistant to corrosion, vertically and horizontally, are attached to the walls of the building. Then they install insulation and with the help of special fasteners ceramic-granite plates without visible seams or with seams. This facade does not need additional care.

Block house

The front board or the block house is used most often for wooden houses, and sometimes for houses from foam concrete blocks. Reconstruction of dilapidated facades with the help of these materials will fundamentally transform the appearance of the house.

The facade, lined with natural resistant wood, will last much longer. In addition, this material is environmentally friendly. And with the help of various impregnations, you can not only save the wooden material, but also give it the desired shade.

Block house с имитацией бруса придаст фасаду вид здания, выполненного из натурального дерева, и создаст дополнительную теплоизоляцию.

Before you start decorating the facade with materials made of wood, you need to hold them under the sun for several days. Such acclimatization is necessary so that wooden products do not lead in the process of exploitation, and cracks do not appear.

Next, the wood is treated with an antiseptic, covered with a primer and subsequently with a colorless varnish. Wood needs to be sanded, and then apply the desired shade of paint or varnish.

Linen

Linen – более дешевый отделочный материал из дерева. Так же вагонкой обшивают фасады дачи или бани, которые прекрасно сочетаются с окружающей природой.

Siding

Inexpensive facade decoration can be done using siding or facade foam. From English "siding" is translated as "covering". Siding can be vinyl, basement, metal and wood.

• Plinth siding is used for the plinth of the building. For this purpose, suitable panels with a thickness of at least 3 mm with imitation of natural building materials (stone or cladding bricks).
• Vinyl siding is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This material is resistant to mechanical damage. Also, when choosing siding, you need to avoid bright colors, since vinyl products are sensitive to ultraviolet radiation.
• Metal siding is a fairly durable and resistant to external influences material. Used most often for cladding facades of industrial buildings.
• Wood siding is a natural material, and therefore the most expensive. It is eco-friendly, but not durable.

You can buy siding in a variety of colors. Polyvinyl chloride panels (PVC) are made with imitation of various materials. The most popular siding - under a tree or under a brick. The advantage of the material is that it is lightweight and easy to install.

Монтаж сайдинга производится на слой утеплителя, но можно и без него. Этот современный материал широко применяется для отделки домов, жилых дачных строений и при ремонте старых обветшавших фасадов. Siding – это отличный гидроизоляционный материал, способный обеспечить защиту стен дома.

Panels with decorative elements

Panels with decorative elements made of reinforced polystyrene can be used to finish the facade with high quality and relatively inexpensive. Such panels are at the same time both a heater, and a decor.

Decorative elements, such as moldings, cornices, balusters, pilasters, are suitable for finishing classic facades. These elements are made of foam with a protective coating. Their installation is made on the plastered surface with a special glue.

As can be seen, in order to make the reconstruction of the facade, there is a wide variety of finishing materials. In choosing one should be guided, first of all, by the financial side and personal preferences. Also, the criteria for selection are the protective functions of the material from weathering, environmental friendliness and ease of installation and subsequent maintenance. The main thing is to preserve the beauty of the facade for a long time.
