Fixing the siding without gaps and other errors. Some siding does not fade and the paint?
Siding has become a very popular material for the cladding of the house. Installation can be carried out on wood (treated antiseptic) or metal frame. The main thing to make a ventilated facade.
Before attempting to install, learn the common mistakes that beginners make, and even experienced craftsmen.
Storage
I had such an experience. Siding stored in direct sunlight. The material was in the package. When opened, they found that the siding is warped. Therefore, store the material under a canopy, cutting off the transport tape.
Wall mounting
You can not do the installation to the walls of the house in our climate. High humidity will impact negatively on the walls of the house. We need a crate. Make a gap in at least 2 cm, so that the air can penetrate and condensate deduced.
fasteners
Some panels are fixed with nails or screws until they stop. I think it will be tight. This can not be done, the material is deformed. Necessarily leave a gap between the screws and plate in 0.9 - 1, 5 mm. It can be laid when mounting a coin to screw the screw is not tight.
Fasten screw or nail in the top of the panel (in the oval slit strictly in the center). Fixed material should be free to move horizontally.
With a gap material at the temperature change will freely contract and expand. If you do not play, then there will be a wave panels.
If you mount the panel joint to joint, it will also be the wave deformation. Make the joint overlap is 2.5 cm. Take the gap and between the panels and fixing elements.
Starting profile set below the horizontal (level). It comes from the bottom of the installation of siding sheathing. There is a way the vertical installation. In this case, the starting profile is attached to the corner of the house.
Locks in panels
Panels with a locking compound. The first strap is secured for starting panel. Each successive panel is latched to the previous one. If this is not done, then the material is heated (in sunny weather) panel may differ.
Burn-out in the sun. Is it possible to paint the siding?
Some people think that any siding burns. However, it was noticed that the siding fades usually blue, pink and green colors.
Beige and dairy color almost does not fade!
It all depends on the coverage. There are acrylic coating on vinyl siding. This material, according to the manufacturer does not fade, and siding make even darker shades.
If the siding is burnt out, then it is possible to paint. It will be cheaper than buying and mount the new material. Choose a paint based on acrylic and urethane resins.
