How to decorate the base and otmostku

Question than to finish basement, sooner or later confronts every homeowner. If you leave this area in its original form, it is not only worsen the decorative facade, but also can have a negative impact both on the pedestal, and the house in general. Today there is no shortage of outdoor decorative materials, another thing is that they do not all fit, given the specificity of operational modes. Consider how to finish basement, it was not necessary to modify or repair regularly.

Why the need for base and blind area

Cap - this elevated part of the foundation, a kind of adapter between the base and walls, whose main task is the uniform redistribution of weight and protection of walls and ceilings. In addition, many developers equip the ground floor, getting more useful space is not due to the rise, but at the expense of deepening.

Aleksey4177 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I live with a cap for almost twenty years. Tape, width 80 cm, height 40 cm. Further FBS blocks and tapes of solid bricks. Ceiling height 220 cm. Dry. Pyatistenok 10x10 m, half - double garage, another half - storage room and boiler room, sauna. He waterproofing has done, pasting stekloizol on PBS. Ground stekloizol polyethylene and reinforced in two layers. In the garage two pipe buried vertically 200 mm for receiving water from the machine. The walls are insulated PPP 100 mm inside and plastered on the grid. If repeated would do once the plate on the entire area. Easier, more economical on labor, more reliable.

The height of the cap varies within a broad range - it may be at least SNP - 20 cm, and perhaps 2 meters. However, to cap effectively fulfill its protective function, it is not recommended to do it below 40-50 cm.

Blind area - is the protection already for the most base and for the building as a whole, in the form of an impermeable cover band encircling the house all around. Blind area is designed to divert water from the basement to the ground in close proximity to the ground remains dry. It protects not only the foundation of podmokaniya, but also from the effects of heave forces arising in the frozen soil. The bandwidth should not be less than 60 cm, the upper limit is influenced by both aesthetic and practical and cost considerations, and the length of the eaves of the roof - the coating must be wider by 15-20 cm. The depth of the blind area, on average, about 30-40 cm.

Blind area is always needed! Its function - removal of water from the foundation usually 1 m melkozaglublennom When the foundation is more relevant.. No blind area - more water will seep under fundamet. Is this useful? I think not, for many reasons.

Since the cap is in direct contact with the ground, it furnish materials must be designed for high humidity, and be resistant to mechanical damage. That is, the plinth trim should be water-resistant, the most lasting and durable, as you have a "first strike" on it. The same applies to materials for paving or filling of the blind area.

Varieties of the cap and the blind area

There are three varieties of the cap and its location relative to the plane of the walls.

• Sibling - the foundation with basement and part of the wall is bred in the same plane.
• Speaker - the base and cap is wider than the wall, whereby the front part is formed a protrusion.
• Sink - the foundation and basement walls have on the perimeter of the similarity obtained niches in the lower part of the facade.

Pedestal sink is already protected from external influences overhanging walls, single-level and after finishing will "flush" with the facade. Projecting the cap is considered more problematic because it must be covered with special glints to prevent the accumulation of moisture on the rim.

With regard to the material base, the cap can be either reinforced concrete or prefabricated - Addition of FBS blocks or bricks. Independently of this, between the foundation and waterproofing cap layer necessarily present to prevent capillary suction of moisture.

Speaking of the blind area, it may be noted that until relatively recently it was divided into species is not - or was, or not. If there was, in the form of a monolithic coating is usually concrete, on which are laid paving tiles, rarely otmostku asphalted. With the advent of modern materials, such as geotextile and impermeable membrane, another technology developed otmostki device. Therefore, in modern design, they are of two types:

• Monolithic - with a continuous finishing layer from which the drainage water is rolled into or onto the ground;
• Soft - permeable topcoat, but sealed base, the moisture passes through it and flows into the required drainage from said membrane.

As before, the blind area today often concreted and dwell on it, or laid on top of the paving stones or paving slabs. Among the supporters of the most popular varieties of soft filling - gravel, various screenings, even a large quartz sand, at least it seeded lawn grass or something similar. But regardless of the blind area, and it "pie", including standard preparation and finishing coat, adhere to the main principle - do not do blind area and the rigid coupling of the cap.

Another important point - insulation; if before this aspect practically betrayed the values ​​of today, most of caps and pavings insulated extruded polystyrene (Epps). This synthetic insulation material is not afraid of direct contact with water, resistant heavy loads, for decades defies destruction and provides sufficient thermal resistance design. What makes him virtually no competitors for insulation of foundations, basements and blind areas, regardless of their species.

The presence or absence of the layer of insulation does not affect the choice of finishing material for the cap, only the process of preparation of the cap.

Technology training base for finishing

Options for a decorative finish base, there are many:

• tile;
• a natural stone;
• fake diamond;
• decorative plaster;
• printed concrete;
• panel;
• thermal panels;
• siding;

• painting;
• DSP, flat slate.

But as for the surface preparation, the way only two.

Plaster

If necessary under increased base trim massive tiles, natural or artificial stone, without pre-warming cap plaster thick layer of metal mesh, to a pre-fixed plinth hardware.

rytik (Member FORUMHOUSE):

If we talk about the cost-effective option, then:

• Primed plinth.
• Nail the iron grid.
• Plaster DSP.
• Artificial stone put on a good adhesive.

Net use welded or expanded metal, galvanized. Just not too flimsy - so that his hands did not torn. Box 10x10 mm or slightly less. Another observation. Once he knocked down a granite plinth. Where she was smeared tiles in the adhesive completely - not just otobesh where missed badly - tiles already flew itself.

When talking about thermal insulation, use is not made of metal, and glass cloth mesh, but in two ways:

• Penetrating primer dilution with water in three runs (1/6, 1/4, 1/2).
• Sanding hacksaw Epps on both sides and stick it on the plinth, the cement glue, if the surface is smeared with bitumen, then penopoliuritanovy glue. Do not forget to bring the mesh (fiberglass) and provide temperature-shrink grout.
• After attaching the first base to make the reinforcing layer: adhesive and cause it vtopit armored glass cloth mesh 320-340 g / m²..
• Produce dyubelirovanie through the mesh, 10-12 anchors per 1 m².
• Make a second reinforcing layer base: apply glue vtopit main facade grid 165 g / m²..
• To make constriction liquid glue.
• After drying (72 hours) can be produced by attaching a stone, tiles, ceramic tiles, weighing not more than 50 kg / m², not the size a 300x300 mm, the seam is not less than 4 mm, elastic adhesive, front, an elastic grout fill seams, applied on top hydrophobing.

Some craftsmen are skeptical of the need for it is an elastic adhesive and grout, preferring to manage the DSP, it is fraught with problems.

RomanArch (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Be sure to use an elastic adhesive, because - deformation from the temperature difference and freezing of moisture, namely that destroys facade / Cap and tile falls off. It is better to use a plastic material for seams and joints so that they can compensate for such strain, plus possible other unexpected surface deformation supporting structure of the building by precipitation, eg.

When the cap monolithic surface smooth enough without significant changes, and as planned finish Paint or coating granular plaster, can be dispensed and a thick metal mesh layer. Enough base reinforcement - primed deep penetration, a thin layer of adhesive mixture and it vtopit facade fiberglass. After drying again primed and apply granular decorative plaster method recommended by the manufacturer or dye intended to base paint.

lathing

Lathing (subsystem) used in siding or the cap wall panels, and concrete tiles with fastening screws on. The subsystem can be a metal or wood, are used for galvanized metal profile is assembled from wooden beams (generally 50 × 50 mm) pretreated with antiseptic. If necessary, pre-insulated basement sheets Epps on the glue, plus dyubelirovanie or simply coated with a primer of deep penetration. Orientation guide depends from the fabric - a vertical panel or siding horizontally under the horizontal - vertical.

Budget embodiment the plinth siding finish (wall). House 10x8 m, height of base 0,45 m, the cost of materials 4,500 rubles., Plus foam and 220 rubles a day's work. Siding liked it unusual texture. I stuffed vertically (longer, but the beauty demands victims) that was a contrast to wall. Stuffed into two horizontal bar 50x50 mm. Do not forget the grills for the air holes. Everything turned out three times cheaper than doing classical Ground siding panels under a brick - and expensive, and like everyone else, too, did not want to. Take into service.

The main difference of one-siding or polymeric basement wall panels of a thickness and increased strength. But today, manufacturers offer wall siding material with improved performance, which is quite possible to coat and cap.

Original and practical trim cap

One of the original ways the cap finishes - wood. This material is not considered to be most suitable for wet areas, but if a blind area is soft and instantly removes moisture could get interesting.

Balabollng (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Fundam columnar, otmostka soft "cake" from geotestilya, two layers of film 200 microns, sand, gravel red. Well endured the winter, the water was a lot of, coped perfectly. Border is not bugged. Spring rake walked, and happiness. Lots of room for imagination in decor. Cap dyuymovka trimmed. Impregnation + oil. Installation takes just a couple of days, if you make yourself.

But the climatic conditions are different everywhere, and not that wood, plaster for a long time does not stand up, so in favor practicality.

WAB57 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

It thankless job - in our climate plaster plinth. Recently we are doing DSP beacons and ground paint. And flow, respectively. The technology is simple - galvanized beacons to GCR 60h27 mm, DSP 8-10 mm (cut grinder with a diamond wheel, a lot of dust) joints shpaklyuem adhesive for tiles, then gruntuem and color paint on the base (primer - diluted paint is water basis).

To finish it lasts as long as possible, the substrate must be prepared to meet technology and surface finish - to answer the specifics of the application. No less important that the material selected and the texture, and scale combined with the facade. Given that the cap gets off at the end, when the walls are ready, it is realistic by graphic editors select the most suitable option. And then - to evaluate it in terms of the complexity of the process and financial solvency. Now a large variety of simulations that look almost like the original, and facing much cheaper.
