The facade plays one of the important roles in the aesthetic perception of the entire structure, in most cases, it is used to judge the compliance of the house with modern trends. But I want to say that today's facade is not only its appearance, but also a whole system of necessary characteristics for long-term and comfortable operation of the entire building.
Sheathing a house with corrugated board is one of the options for achieving these characteristics. The use of ventilated facade technology is typical not only for residential premises, but also for industrial buildings. Sheathing a house with a profiled sheet provides for the presence of air space between the facade (profiled sheet in this case) and the wall. The corrugated board perfectly copes with the role of external decoration, as its properties allow it to maintain both a unique appearance and high strength for several decades. Its special metal base shape, which has a protective zinc layer as well as a polymer coating, contributes a lot to this.
Properly done house claddingcorrugated board protects the wall from environmental influences. The presence of an air gap makes it possible to provide sufficient ventilation in order to prevent the formation of high humidity, which often leads to mold. In addition, sheathing the house with corrugated board, not without the help of the same air gap, has excellent thermal and sound insulation properties. It is because of these properties that it is possible to make a living room out of the balcony, which will be warm in winter and cool in summer. A properly created air gap protects not only the wall, but also the rear part of the corrugated board. The main thing to remember when installing corrugated board is that it is necessary to create conditions for excellent air circulation and prevent it from stagnation in the air cushion.
Sheathing a house with a profiled sheet is possible in two versions. The first is the use of a profiled sheet as a finishing material on an already built wall. The second is its use as a finishing material for a prefabricated wall structure.
So, let's move on to the direct installation of corrugated board.
First of all, it is necessary to build a metal frame and fix it with dowels. Do not forget about the need to level the frame. Alternatively, you can make it from wooden blocks. Sheathing a house with a profiled sheet can be done vertically, horizontally and even diagonally.
The next step will be the installation of insulation. We will not dwell on this, becausethis is a topic of another direction. And the last moment will be the fastening of corrugated sheets to our frame. This is done using self-tapping screws that have gaskets.
Based on the above, we can conclude that sheathing a house with corrugated sheets is a process that anyone can do, and for this it is not at all necessary to have the skills inherent in a professional builder.
