New life of old house

The story began a few years ago, when our family decided to radically change lives and change the apartment for a private house. The purchase process took only a few months because the house we found almost immediately and realized that we wanted to live in it. Although the house itself is quite old, log. Some relatives even tried to dissuade us, they say, why do you need to buy junk. But we have invited an expert who assessed the condition of the home, communications. As a result, considering all the pros and cons, we still became the owners of the house built in 1960.. Technically, he was in good condition, inside repairs we also quite happy, but the appearance of the house left much to be desired.

It was decided to sheathe house. In choosing the material we relied on criteria such as durability, reliability, appearance and, of course, price. Under our conditions perfectly suited siding, as this material is optimal for the price and durability. So, this is an additional protection against external influences at home, that will increase the life of the house for many years.

The choice was made in favor of the metal siding, here are its advantages:

· temperature resistance

· strength

· fire protection

· Easy installation

· A very large selection of colors and textures

As for the price, much more expensive metal siding vinyl, but it was important quality and reliability. In Moscow, the average price of 600 rubles per 1 sq. meter. A vinyl siding is more suitable for small country houses.

Of course, to sew up a log house in the metal, it is necessary to keep all the rules, because it is important that the house was breathing and excess moisture left. After examining all the details of the process, and in consultation with experts, we have transgressed to go. Stages of work were as follows:

· Smoothed and treated with antiseptic timber

· Insulate the walls with mineral wool at home, 100 mm
(It is well breathable, allowing the house to "breathe")

· Made waterproof (special film over the insulation)

· Installation of the main frame under the siding

· Installation of siding

As already I have said earlier, the metal siding a large selection of colors, so you can translate any design imagination. We have chosen, the mother of a simulation of laminated veneer lumber, golden oak color. Plus, on the surface, as if the visible texture of the tree, so our guests often think it's a real tree.

After the main work was done pumping, carried out street lighting. Repair work is still a lot, but "Moscow was not built." The result we are very happy to get pretty cozy house. Our first winter was not yet warmed to the house, and I must say, with much lower temperatures, it was a bit chilly. When a house is sheathed, the difference is felt. The atmosphere is very comfortable, not hot in summer, winter is not cold, and looks very nice.

Of course, when building a house, you can choose a more high-quality and durable material. But when we have to work with what we have, then plating metal siding home, a very good option.
