Facing at home: what can be seen outside except siding

In order for the finished cottage to have a finished look, it is necessary to consider the final cover of the walls of the building at the design stage. This is especially true for houses from blocks, frames or planed beam, which gives a significant shrink after construction. And that is why, at the decision stage, how to persuade the house, it is worth remembering that the outer decoration should not have an increased load on the foundation. Or it is worth putting the bearing ability of the basis and under the outside of the cottage, so that later the foundation did not burst.

It is worth remembering that the correctly chosen lining of the house carries not only a decorative function, but also performs a number of other tasks, such as:

• Protection of wall material from the negative impact of atmospheric precipitation (moisture, wind, sun, frost, etc.);
• Thermal insulation of the walls of the house;
• Noise isolation of the cottage from outside sounds from the outside.

The correctly separated house has an increased service life.

Mounting rules

All facing work should be carried out in compliance with several recommendations that will achieve a better result. Recommendations look like:

• The cover of the house with any finish material is made only after the final installation of all window and door blocks, balcony railings and roofs.
• If the trim is carried out from the bar, then you first need to give a cottage time for shrinkage. And this is 1-1.5 years. If you cannot withstand such a pause, then as a result of drying lumber, cracking can be covered with cracks. We'll have to dismantle everything and redo the significant financial costs.
• You can carry out the object at home outside at any time of the year. But it is worth remembering that if the work is held in the cold season, the house and the construction site should be protected by a canopy (and ideally and provide heat-shock around the perimeter) to ensure a quiet course of work.
• When choosing a finishing material, it is worth considering all its operational characteristics to further not get unpleasant surprises.
• Under the outer bedding of the house it is recommended to use waterproofing. It is applied to the walls of the house in order to protect the wall material from the destructive effect of condensate, which can be formed between the insulation and the walls of the cottage.

IMPORTANT: Choosing, the better to strip the house, take into account the difference in the linear expansion indicators of the sheath itself and the material from which the walls are mounted. If it is cardinal, then the appearance of cracks can be on the trim or walls of the house inside.

Materials for finishing home outside

Brick

Facing work for a country house is often carried out using stone materials. One of these is brick. The material allows the master to reveal all its creative potential and perform any artwork, turning a standard block house in a beautiful lock. The benefit for this is on sale there is a brick of various forms, colors and sizes.

But when laying a brick as an outdoor lining at home it is worth remembering that the foundation of the house should be wide enough for the supporting sole of brick walls. In addition, the bearing capacity of the base should be designed for such a stone finish.

The complexity in cladding brick is the long-term performance of wet works with the use of a solution, which should sleep well. This means that it is possible to carry out facing work only in a dry and warm season. Yes, and the cost of brick stops many masters from such a choice of trim for the house.

Facing tile

If you do not know than to strip the house outside, you can use a tile as a facing. The most popular her species are clinker brick and porcelain stoneware. Such materials for the construction of the house have a smaller proportion than brick (on average 15 kg / m2). And therefore, they do not heighten the finished design.

A wide range of finishing options allows you to pick up a marble tile, aged brick or natural stone. The advantages of such a material are that facing does not require constant and careful care, is not exposed to frost or moisture, and also burns out in the sun. The material breathes and provides the walls of the house a normal air exchange. In addition, in case of damage to one fragment of the trim, it can be easily replaced with a new one.

Natural natural stone

Such a cladding refers to the discharge of elite and requires the involvement of the team of professionals. Since it is necessary to apply not only incomplete force to cladding, but also use high-quality glue mixes, only specialists can work with.

Looking at home with natural stone looks rich, aesthetic, and of course, beautiful. In addition, such natural lining is durable. These breeds of stones are often used as material for cottage.

• Granite slabs;
• Marble;
• Travertine (Tuf). The latter is less weight than marble and features elevated heat and sound insulation properties. In addition, the work of the tuff is much easier than the rest of the stones - it is easier to cut and grind.

Crumb stone

This finish is the remnants of large stone rocks of granite, marble or tuff. The baby is mixed with binders, taking the type of construction finishing mass. The crumb is applied to the pre-prepared plastered or concrete surface, and after drying it is a monolith.

Caring for the cover of the facade of the stone crumb is simple. It is enough to send a water stream on the walls, which will wash dust. The feature of the crumb is that it does not violate its structure for a long time. Therefore, to update the coating to change the shade, you just need to apply a new layer of material on the walls.

Fake diamond

And you can shelter the house outside and so material. Plates of artificial stone in appearance are not much different from natural. The only difference is the weight of the material. It is significantly less. Artificial stone is perfectly combined with wood, metal, ceramics. In this case, the texture of the material can be both smooth and embossed. Such a cladding serves no less natural stone trim.

Siding

This material is quite popular today in both a private developer and corporate. Siding is a specially produced long panels that have perforation on one of the sides, and the protrusion on the other. Therefore, to separate the house outside such a trim is quite simple. In the process of mounting the panel, they are fixed through the perforation to the frame from the bottom up, and each upper siding strip covers the place of fastening the bottom plank. There are such types of siding to cover the house:

• PVC panels. They have a cellular internal structure, which means additionally perform the role of thermal insulation for the house. Easy and easy to work. Mildly cut and quickly mounted.
• Wooden siding. Natural material for the poster of the house. It is used less often because it is not well opposed to moisture. Most often, wooden siding is used to give the house of a certain color.
• Metal Siding. Panels made of steel, zinc or aluminum are thin plates that do not insulate the walls of the house. At the same time, the material is sufficiently light in the installation, not fuel, is not subject to rotting and burnout. But when using metal, it is worth remembering that the material may be damaged in mechanical exposure, and with the onset of rain, it can make a characteristic drum fraction.
• Fibrocemental siding. It is made of cement mixture and natural fiber. As a result, it turns out the perfect building material, which has the technical characteristics of the stone (not lit, does not rot, will not mock, it does not break). Unfortunately, this type of siding has not yet found widespread use in our region.

Tip: If you do not know how you can shelter a house from a tree or foam blocks, then prefer PVC siding.

Edged or Unedged Board and Lining

All kinds of wooden materials for the construction of the house can be combined according to specifications. Thus, the board has excellent thermal insulation properties, increased environmental friendliness and naturalness. In addition, the tree breathes, which avoids the accumulation of excess condensate under the layers of a building cake consisting of insulation, vaporizolation and trim. Materials are used as wooden facing:

• Edged board. Lumber, prepared by the longitudinal cutting of the log. The result is a board having a perfectly smooth surface from all sides. Easy to paint and process with varnishes. Most often, the board is used for colorful clamping at home with a Christmas tree (in the style of country).
• Unedged board. The same type of material, with the only difference that the cut log is not exempt from the bark, the born and the swamp in front of the sharp. As a result, the end sides of the sawn timber have a rough surface with the remains of the top layer of wood. This type of board can also be used to cover the cottage of the cam.
• Lining. An ideally processed smooth board having a spike and groove for a high-quality connection with each other. The result is a smooth coating, completely natural.
• Block house . Also the type of wood trim having a look of a log on one side. When installing such a cladding, the house receives imitation of walls under log. The finished cottage, covered by a block house, looks colorfully and expensive.

IMPORTANT: But any kind of wood for the trim is not so durable as a stone or tile. Even with the processing of wood with antiseptics and antipirens. Therefore, when answering a question than to separate the house, this material is considered not the most practical.
