The house has been built, interior decoration has been done. It's time to ennoble the face of the building. Now the decoration of the facades of houses is carried out in various ways, the choice is large. If the building is lined with clinker bricks, the issue has already been resolved. This material with perfect edges, seams for jointing, and even blackened with soot, looks great without additional decorations. If the walls are made of parts that are not finishing, you should not be upset. Material for finishing the facade of the house is easy to find.
Classic of the genre
You can apply the traditional method - plastering the walls with special solutions, followed by painting. A mineral wool board is glued to the surfaces, fixed with facade dowels. A base layer of plaster is applied to it. Then a fiberglass mesh is applied. A final decorative layer of plaster is applied on top. The disadvantage of this type of work is the need to periodically refresh the faded paint.
Modern trends
Above, we considered the decoration of the facades of houses that do not provide for ventilation. Facingporcelain stoneware refers to ventilated methods. Great solution. The building looks presentable and bright, but this method is more suitable for office buildings.
The first layer is insulation, fixed with special glue and facade dowels. Then a profile system is installed, which is the base to which the plates are attached. The gap between the porcelain stoneware and the insulation, formed by the profile, ensures the ventilation of the walls.
Durability
If natural stone is combined with the architecture of the building, finishing the facade of the house with stone is a great option. Slate flagstone or other material available in the region with a layered structure is used. The cladding process is laborious, but it is a durable and beautiful coating. The weight of the stone structure should not rest on the blind area of the building. Otherwise, if the concrete sinks during the settlement of the soil, the granite layer will lose its support. To prevent this from happening, a corner with a shelf width of 50 mm is horizontally fixed along the bottom of the facade. It is shot with a mounting gun or fixed with anchors. To distribute the weight of the facade evenly, it is recommended to shoot the corner through 1-1.5 m of the wall. At the end of the work, the stone and the seams are washed and varnished.
Cute synthetic material
1. It is possible to finish the facades of houses with artificial panels imitating natural stone. It looks like natural material, but is much cheaper. The panels are produced with imitation of wild stone, clinker brick, antique masonry and other popularcoatings. In addition to savings, this finishing option has the following advantages:
- ventilated facade;
- material is light (the weight load on the walls is minimal);
- does not require additional painting, it is enough to rinse when dusting.
2. Vinyl siding is now popular. Ventilated long-lasting way: inexpensive, easy to install, not fade in the sun, easy to wash.
3. Finishing the building with sandwich panels is also a good solution. At the same time, the walls have thermal insulation, ventilation and an attractive appearance. As the name implies, the panels are multi-layered:
- inner front layer;
- mineral wool board;
- outer face layer.
In general, if there was a facade, there is something to decorate and protect.
