Rejuvenates the facade of the house: popular solutions

The need to update the facade of the house there in front of each house owner over time, or in connection with the improvements. Many people purchase homes with the "experience" in decline and restore, starting from the foundation and finishing the exterior trim. Depending on the reasons for which you want to update, choose the appropriate materials, not only to decorate the walls, but also protects them from external influences. Consider the popular ways of "rejuvenation" of the facade, which are members FORUMHOUSE.

Siding

Decorative and functional outer skin, designed to protect the facade from external shocks and for decoration. It represents patterned segments in the form of separate panels with perforated fastening strap on one side and "lock" to connect to the other. Usually, the siding understand long, narrow panels of the boards, though, depending on the variety, it can be both broad leaves.

According to the raw components siding is divided into three main categories:

Polymer - a derivative of polyvinyl chloride or acrylic resin (acrylic and vinyl). Has high decorative effect, mimics natural materials, not only visually, but also tactile. More often than not it comes with a woody texture - wall paneling, ship board or beam, but in recent years more and more popular siding imitating brick. Polymer lining lightweight, resistant to weathering, non-flammable and non-toxic.

Metal - Galvanized steel corrugated sheets, with a polymer layer on the surface. Metal provides strength and the polymer - decorative, such a material has recently been used only industrial facilities, but manufacturers have significantly improved the external data, which allows the metal to compete with polymer. Restriction acts reduced carrier surface, metal siding weight implies a strong base.

Fibrocement - it appeared relatively recently, produced from cement with the addition of cellulose fibers and plasticizers. From metal and polymer is different in size and method of attachment - it has no locks and perforation, special jigs are used during installation. It is very durable, environmentally friendly material outperforms the metal and polymer in resistance to UV light. However, with the undoubted merits, it is more expensive and demanding to the level of skill of the performers.

Available two kinds of siding - ordinary (wall) and the ground. The latter is characterized by increased strength and wear resistance, greater thickness and a smaller size of segments. Ground siding typically mimics stone surfaces - bricks or natural stones.

Sheathing siding houses conducted over the crates - the frame of timber or metal profiles collected on the perimeter walls. Depending on the type of lining, sheathing is going vertically or horizontally, are used to protect the walls vapor barrier membrane, if applicable heater, a ventilation gap is left. Although sometimes siding is attached to the nails, effective and easy mounting on the screws with a broad hat. For thermal deformation fixture mount is not close, and with a small backlash to the panel could "play". Some manufacturers allow for the possibility of facing the assembly directly on the walls, but this method is rarely used.

Modern siding allows you to quickly without wet processes to transform the house. Defects crate walls are aligned and a minimum weight allows to mount finishing material even attenuated base. Siding used as an independent material intended to create a single style house, or as a finishing layer at the outer insulation. On sale is an abundance of species that can realize any idea, and additional elements not only sealed cover, but also give it a finished look. Installation does not require special skills and expensive tools, detailed instructions manufacturer applies to each set. A cunning and subtlety of the lining process can be learned from the topics in the forum on the procedure for the installation work.

Make the most of this type of finish from the owners of wooden houses "with experience", which makes an extension or add an attic. Sew together siding with insulation or without, it is easier, faster and cheaper than decorated with natural wood or covered with plaster. In addition, the passage of time the siding does not need to renovate and repaint. Therefore siding in all variations, whether horizontal or vertical, is so popular.

Member FORUMHOUSE Bruno37 acquired for his family half a log house on two hosts. As a result of the reconstruction of the house had a second floor and a large outbuilding, thereby to increase living space. New building - brick, and to combine all the elements, Bruno37 I decided to issue all the siding.

Bruno37 (FORUMHOUSE User):

I purchased in the week vertical siding, the color of a banana, waiting, when will bring. I will mount the spring, like now, but familiar advised against the builder. In our city there are very few houses, trimmed with vertical siding, I would like to sustain rural Scandinavian style home.

Another of our users, Soboleff, old cold attic of a house made out of stone and has built a framework attic with overhangs, and after all the plans to sheathe siding.

Soboleff (User FORUMHOUSE):

Plan on the outside of the wall to fix the metal profile, put five centimeters of basalt stone, wrap it all protective membranes and to finish vinyl siding

The same algorithm and acted bathers, transformed into a modern one-story log building two-storey cottage.

Evgeniy72 I purchased for unfinished family - part of log cabin, part bar, two and a half floors. It was decided to combine insulation and siding sheathing, everything was done with his own.

Since the financial position in a difficult family, I decided to finish the house on their own. The house is planned for summer residence while, and when I finish construction to pensions, will come more often. First of all I decided to do the facade. For year: finishing touch foundation, insulation and siding installation of the first floor. The following year, the installation of the remainder of the siding.

wet facade

It is yet another claimed method used to reconstruct or decayed reshaped facades. The technology is based on an external wall insulation different thermal insulators - PPS, PSB, mineral wool. This wall is formed "cake" of the insulation, reinforcing and decorative layer insulation wall attached adhesive mixtures of the further reinforcing layer is performed, and finally is applied plaster. Due to the abundance of "wet" processes and the technology got its name, it is considered one of the most effective ways to improve the properties of heat-saving design. Unlike other finishes, with this amount of cold bridges insulation is minimized. As facing the screen usually used textured decorative plaster.

Technology for wet facade manufacturers produce entire system, which includes all of the materials used: penetrating primer, adhesive dry mixture slab heaters, special fasteners "fungus" (anchor with wide hat), fiberglass mesh reinforcement, additional elements, decorative finishing compositions dyes.

Alternative option - the purchase of materials suitable for use in applications from different manufacturers, based on availability. Observance of the process allows to obtain high-quality "pie" and of the individual components, will not save the most expensive system for gross violations of the same defect. However, professionals recommend the use of all the components of a single line of a single firm, as collected "bag of" products may not be suitable for each other. More technology is discussed in the forum thread on stucco on the facades.

If the house does not need insulation, and want only to update the facade, instead of mounting a heater on the wall, a layer of plaster, leveling the base and prepares it for the decoration. Wet facade siding more expensive, but it gives an exclusive coating - even the typical figure of the "pitted" or "lamb" every artist executes in his own way. Like the hinged facade, wet walls hides flaws and can be used on different grounds. In addition, the plaster is perfectly combined with other types of finishes that enhances the decoration. Gameday also appreciated the advantages of this method of insulation and facades of rejuvenation.

There house 15x15 m, two floors, sand-lime brick bricks 2, the U-shaped wall elements. We plan to insulate the plates from mineral wool and plaster before painting. As a result of consultation and reflection we stopped on the following version: smooth wall cover Epps, curved - mineral plates.

It is now on the market a large range of materials to suit all tastes and at the end of the last century, many had to build from the fact that it was possible to get. Exterior of buildings constructed from the "mix" needs fine-tuning.

Bought a house, which is 20 years old - three kinds of bricks: Facing, the usual red and refractory. Pie walls inside: wall paneling, penofol, cinder block, brick, wall about 45 - 50 cm, do not need to insulate. I want to give everything in the same style - and apply plaster decorative plaster.

Off with any wet facades, practically without any restrictions to the starting material. It differs only in the way of preparation, such as brick or block walls and preparation karkasnikov walls or wooden houses. In the case of a tree requires additional strengthening of the foundations, not to plaster crumbled because of the progress.

natural wood

Another popular way to facades - natural wood veneer. There are many varieties of wood paneling - wall paneling, blockhouse, planks, beams imitation, and the like. Facing materials often acts larch, pine or spruce, these rocks have good technical characteristics and acceptable cost, while the facing of elite sorts of little-by pocket.

As siding, paneling usually mounted on the crate, collected from a bar or profile, and can be used as a lining for insulation screen as well as for decorative finishes. If you use the boards, and the base is wood, we have to defend and insulation, paneling is mounted directly on the wall. Regardless of the presence or absence of crates themselves wooden slats mounted on special devices or screws, which give the timber an opportunity to "play". When mounting takes into account the natural characteristic of the material - the possibility of shrinkage and some deformation, due to which after some time may appear gap between the segments, if exceed the allowable gap. Mounting methods and other details are discussed in the forum facades made of wood.

Sale wood veneer as a complete ready-to-use - impregnated protective structures and painted, and the workpiece requiring finishing. With ready - a minimum of work, only the installation, but it is more expensive raw. Billets are cheaper, but will have to spend time, effort and money on their finishing. Some craftsmen save a special finishing wood and sheathe usual home board. So he entered the portal user WAB57, Stoned old wooden house and the new annex.

WAB57 (FORUMHOUSE User):

planed board 18x120 mm was used for the outer skin. Sheathing - the first row with a pitch of 90 mm to 15 mm on each side for the screws, and the second closes the move. Each board was treated with antiseptic (before plating), swirls sealed soil, then painted tinted paint for two times.

facing brick

Rejuvenate the facade can be and with the help of bricks, completely surrounded the building. For Sale - traditional types: ceramic, lime and clinker, and relatively new, giperpresovanny brick. Modern face brick is available in a huge color palette, with a large choice of textures and surfaces and fixing elements allowing put any figure and highlight the desired item.

The advantages of brick veneer concerns durability, high wear resistance and decorative. Disadvantage is the need for pouring the foundation, which requires a certain space around the house. In addition, the qualitatively impose building alone is difficult enough, and the slightest breach ligaments technology in a few years will turn departed from the base of the walls and the need to repair of the facade. However, for many the use of brick for the facades is the best option. For more information about the brickwork can be found in topic facades of stone.

I stoning the house, on the basis of aesthetics, lack of hassle - no way to look like a wooden house looks solidly, as a normal brick house, and for reasons of ecology, much more pleasant to live in a wooden house than in Foam concrete and the like. So lumber house with facing brick - a very good option, only that under it the foundation needed a deep and correspondingly expensive.

Of course, there are lots of other decorative facade materials, such as tiles, tiles under brick or natural stone. But when it comes to home remodeling, increasingly resorting to the siding or stucco, as they allow at manageable costs to achieve dramatic improvements. What to choose, everyone decides for yourself based on your own preferences and capabilities.
