I saw the smooth brickwork. Only when I got closer, I realized that it was a facade tile.
In June 2018, I rested on the island. Shira in Khakassia. The salty lake is popular among the inhabitants of our region. But then it was a little unlucky - the water in the lake at that time had not yet warmed up and swimming was in the newly built outdoor pool.

For a year, blocks and masonry must remove all moisture from themselves. And ideally, the internal plastering work should also be completed. When these conditions are met, the facade of a building made of aerated concrete can even be insulated with extruded polystyrene foam. How to fix HAUBERK facade tiles on EPSP?

I do not leave this option for finishing the facade of my house. It seems to me the most optimal according to the criterion "price-appearance". And the work is not complicated, which I can do with my own hands. Having roughly calculated, my house with a perimeter of 9.3x8.5 m needs facade tiles worth about 120 thousand. rub. Whereas a high-quality decorative brick only in materials will cost almost 500 thousand rubles.
