Finishing the facade of a stone house concrete tile "Brick." Installation instructions

Finishing the facade of a country house it is traditionally considered expensive undertaking. Especially if you want to give solidity to the house, finished its facing brick or natural stone. Often this dream and so remains elusive, hardly a developer learns the price tag on the work, the cost of material and form factor requirements for home. After all, not every wall can support the weight of natural stone. Under heavy masonry necessary in advance, prior to construction, to calculate the bearing capacity of the base and the strength of the foundation, which will be an additional burden.

Therefore, many zealous owners looking for ways to save money. One option would be to finish the facade of textured decorative tiles made of concrete - an artificial stone. And although the price of this material can not be called the budget, reduce expenses by completing all of the work yourself, and what we will cover in this article.

So, you will learn:

• How warm the house and install a decorative facade tiles.
• What nuances should be considered.
• What are the options of the "pie" the walls are correct.

Features facade cladding concrete tiles suburban home

Before telling about the nuances of the installation of facade tiles, we give as an example the work of the portal user with the nickname Anton Tarasov.

It was

Anton Tarasov (User FORUMHOUSE):

Source object - a house built of sand-lime brick. The second floor is made of breeze block, with blocks slightly recessed inwards by approximately 15 mm. Masonry is poor, and the foundation of a bit "floated." It requires warm and refine the structure of a relatively economical way.

The first stage - virtual. Before you go out and order a tile, you need to refer to the proposed range and understand how the selected sample will look on the facade. To do this, draw the project and selected the desired texture and color of the tile.

Take into account that a lot depends on the house design. Tile that looks a winner on the walls of a neighbor's house, can not "tune up" on the front of your house. Therefore it is not lazy and meticulously choose what you need.

It is advisable, if possible, to go and see the tiles "live" and hold it in your hands: not always what is on the Internet in the picture corresponds to reality. Despite staining (special pigments) tiles in the mass, as well as the desire of the manufacturer to give it the maximum similarity with natural brick, clinker or stone, imitation remains imitation. Often realize that the facade is not a natural product, it is possible for too many seams between "Bricks", at least - a mismatch of color panels, and let the barely noticeable, but still present cracks between the panels.

Of the benefits of concrete tile select:

• the possibility of year-round installation, because no "wet processes";
• High speed;
• can be fixed (because of the relatively low mass and flexibility) on the wall of any type - frame, foamed and aerated concrete, brick, etc .;
• tiles resistance to negative atmospheric phenomena;
• easy to clean;
• durability;
• the possibility of additional decorating "masonry" colored grouting;
• plenty of choices of textures and color tile making.

Usually cap gets off "under a rock" on the walls - "Brick". If we approach the matter in detail, then the output is an attractive solution, but the facade and the structure as a whole becomes more beautiful.

Anton Tarasov:

For the walls, we chose "brick" in a light-brown colors, trim brown cap "slate", window frames chipped "stone."

All work is broken down into a series of sequential steps. The first external insulation (if necessary) of the walls. The house, which trims Anton Tarasov, additionally required to insulate. For this option chosen Economy - rock wool 5 cm thick.

Heater 0.6 m wide was mounted in a horizontal position, vraspor between stuffed wooden bars "50-E."

Step bars - about 58.5 cm.

For the walls, provided the installation of a heater in the crate, it is enough to select insulation - rock wool, the density of 35-45 kg / cu. m, even producers advised to take stone wool density of not less than 50 kg / cubic meter. m.

Wood battens chosen for purposes of economy.

Anton Tarasov:

On my website asked whether such a density insulation is sufficient and whether it will settle with time. I do not think, because plate is pressed against the bars crates. In addition, one side wall of the house and the outside of the insulation windproof vapor-closed (Superdiffuzionnaya) membrane and is pressed against the vertical crate. Where did he go?

Looking ahead, we say that for fastening of facade tiles used board 15h2.5 see stuffed with crates on the bar every 35 cm, or 48 cm for the axes.

important thing: Step of the installation batten depends on the model of the selected tile. Fixture for mounting a subsystem and ventilated facades to which the tile is selected depending on the material of the walls and the expected load. For information: panel approximate weight of 40 kg / sq. M. Tiles Thickness: "brick" - 2 cm, "slate" - 3 cm, angles - 3cm window - 1.7 cm.

The dimensions of the panel: "Brick" - 60,4h15.5h2 see, "under a rock" - 58,5h24h2,4 see.

This article tells about the all the features of wall cladding stone and brick bar-shaped house, The choice of flexible connections, as well as what needs ventzazor.

Simultaneously with the start of works ordered arrived tiles. All the boxes are well packaged, and the battle was virtually no.

Using a wooden crate, mindful of the need for its antiseptic compulsory protection subsystems from bioporazheny. Because work was carried out at subzero temperatures, a user using a special composition capable of application to -30 ° C.

Stuffed bars crates, vraspor installed insulation boards.

Defended stone wool Superdiffuzionnaya membrane.

This material allows the water vapor coming out of the room, go outside and erode in the ventilation gap, but does not allow wind and atmospheric moisture to penetrate the insulation.

Note: In this embodiment, the gap between the film and tile may be mentioned a conventionally ventilated, because Bottom ventkanal closed plinth. In addition, the average for normal ventilation air ducts and thrust must be maintained a distance (between the film and the inside of the curtain wall) about 4 cm.

Anton Tarasov:

In this embodiment, the steam goes smoothly into the gap, and then disappears through the micro gaps between the tiles. Tested, this scheme works.

The next step - filling the vertical battens (subsystem) for installation of a front tile.

Before you fill the crate, check if there are significant deviations in the vertical walls. If so, you need to neutralize them, having filled through small pad (if necessary) crate so as to bring the board vertically and avoid zavalivanija plane of the facade.

Deviation from the vertical, you can check the usual plummet.

Cap mounted on a horizontal wooden lath (variant with galvanized metal profile expensive).

The user then proceeded to "laying" panels.

According to Anton Tarasov, tile installation did not cause trouble.

The panels are fixed to the sheathing with mounting plates, rendered monolithic in the "body" of the tile with its manufacture using galvanized screws to press the puck.

The plate thickness - about 0.3 mm, width - 1.8 cm.

The plate is of such thickness easily pierces spearhead the screw which is forced into the crate screwdriver.

After finishing one wall, moved on to the next one.

Already it is clear that the house is dramatically changed, he's got a "face".

For registration angles angular elements used in homes, which are produced for each type of tile. Corner elements are mounted on additional lath as well as tile, using plates and screws.

Special attention should be complex components - space for mounting satellite dishes, video surveillance systems, window elements.

Anton Tarasov:

Under the trim set additional lath board 10h2,5 cm around the perimeter of the window tile was fixed with the release of 10-15 mm. "Brick" was mounted after the window.

Under the antenna installed additional crate, tile Drill, the bracket is mounted on the capercaillie. When installing invaluable assistant universal - clamp.

The final look of the house, decorated with tiles.

The nuances of installation of facade tiles with different form factor of home walls

At the end of the article we give portal users questions and answers Anton Tarasov on the specifics of the facade tile installation in homes with a different form factor wall.

Sergoogle (User FORUMHOUSE):

Also I want to warm and then frame the aerated concrete tiles windows of the house. Only the thickness of insulation instead of 5 cm think to put 10 cm - two layers vrazbezhku. T. e. first 5 cm stand upright, the second 5 cm horizontally, but wondered whether not move down vertically eventually laid down insulation. Maybe it is better to put the insulation thickness of 10 cm?

Anton Tarasov:

From the viewpoint of heat engineering insulation layer 2 cross-5 cm is better than a single layer at 10 cm, because overlap all the "cold bridges". For walls take insulation density of not less than 35 kg / m. cu. Lath (bars) pound calculation that it will have 1-2 cm of insulation. Anywhere then he did not move out. If still concerned, take the bar 4x5 cm vertical battens to the horizontal pressed insulation. Set right insulation thickness of 10 cm is possible by using aluminum profiles instead of wood.

If you do double, crisscross, ie kontrobreshetku of wood, the cake turns out the following:

• first vertical lath (bar 5 cm) by 50 mm insulation;
• second horizontal (bar 5 cm) by 50 mm insulation;
• superdiffuzionnaya membrane;
• vertical battens (subsystem) under the tile;
• facade tiles.

SAHI1966 (FORUMHOUSE User):

How better oblitsevat tiles frame house? Outside on the rack frame to fill crate? Or close the frame OSB, and then for them to fill crate under the tile? Or in the latter case, the crate does not do, and to fix the tile directly to OSB?

Anton Tarasov:

OSB bad misses pairs. I think that in the frame houses OSB outside is better not to. I do not know the cake of your wall. Can, OSB boards are instead struts, but under optimal variant facade tile - a (from inside outwards):

• interior;
• vapor barrier;
• OSB (no struts);
• frame (stands) with a heater;
• horizontal cross lath insulation;
• superdiffuzionnaya wind and hydroprotective membrane;
• vertical battens under the facade tile;
• facade tiles.

Thus overlap "cold joints" by studs and retained unobstructed vapor to escape from the wall in the ventilation gap.

Rezident (User FORUMHOUSE):

Is there enough of standard fasteners, or something had to be drilled under the tiles reinforced fasteners?

Anton Tarasov:

Standard fasteners missing, but in the corners and in the openings on the one hand, most often, had them file down, tiles zasverlivalas softwood in the "body", then the place or the window closing angle element.
