Those owners of private houses who decide to change or update the appearance of their house by finishing the facade , we recommend that you pay attention to this kind of modern facing material, such as concrete siding.
Concrete siding for the facade
First of all, of course, it should be said that the concrete siding externally looks like a panel of a certain size with a specific, but absolutely not complicated, fastening system. Such panels are made of a mixture of sand, cement and cellulose fibers. To expand the range, various dyes can be added to the mixture. In addition, the technology of production of concrete siding allows you to create surfaces that accurately simulate natural finishing materials - stone, facing bricks and even wood (for example, shingles). This makes it possible, with a rich appearance of the facade finish, to save money considerably.
Advantages and disadvantages of concrete siding
If you are looking to choose a material with high resistance to temperature drop, rainfall and mechanical damage, with low thermal conductivity, easy to install, then no doubt concrete siding is the best option. In addition, and this is important, the design and method of attachment of these sidings can effectively protect the walls of the building in such a way that the material does not form mold or fungus. This property of concrete siding (good air permeability) allows them to be used, including for the lining of socles.
The only thing that should be paid special attention (and it's up to you to consider it a disadvantage) is that the concrete siding panels have a lot of weight. Therefore, use this cladding material only for buildings with a fairly strong foundation.
