The appearance of the house, its facade , can say a lot about the owners: what color, material, and what texture they prefer. Sheathing of the house block house is one of the most environmentally friendly and simple ways of finishing the facade. Installation and assembly of such a skin can be performed even by a layman with minimal skills in working with wood and basic tools.
Advantages and disadvantages of wall paneling by house
Block house - this is one of the varieties of the car board, which on the outside looks like a rounded wooden beam. The houses, finished in this way, look like rustic houses. The advantage of this finish can be that it is strong enough and can withstand the impact of external environmental factors: wind, rain, sand. This material is environmentally friendly, so it will not release any dangerous substances into the air. The lining of the wooden house with the block can give it a much more presentable appearance, and it is worth noting the simplicity of mounting this material (most boards have a special fixing system "spike" - "groove"). The only drawback of this kind of finishing is that the wooden panels need periodic processing: painting, varnishing, impregnation with antiseptic means, so that the quality and integrity of the wood will last for a long time.
Sheathing unit with house by her own hands
If you decide to sew the house block house on your own, you first need to carefully choose the material: for outdoor works, boards with a width of 150 mm are used. Also, experts recommend choosing materials that are made from wood brought from the north - such a block of houses has a denser structure, which means it will last longer than its analogues from the south. After buying, you need to give the boards to settle for 1-2 days indoors, that is, to "acclimatize" the material.
Installation of the Hausa unit in general form should occur in sequence:
- First you need to build a crate on the walls of the house, which then will be attached to the boards. This crate is made from a wooden beam using a level, otherwise you can get curved walls. The beam is fastened to the walls in a vertical position with the help of nails or self-tapping screws with a distance of 50-60 cm from each other.
- Further, the question of the need for additional insulation of the house is being decided. If it is needed, then a layer of insulation is laid between the brushes of the battens, which is then closed by a layer of windproof film. Further, a second layer of the crate is nailed over the film.
- Mounting directly the boards of the house block should start from the bottom and go up. There are several types of fastening boards to the crate. The simplest of them is with the help of a clay meter. You can also attach the house block with a self-tapping screw, and then hide its cap under the cork plug, or close it with special compounds. Mounting boards with a screw at an angle of 45 ° is the most difficult and requires certain skills, and it also has a high probability that when the screw is screwed, chipped wood may form.
- Each other the boards are connected by means of the system "spike" - "groove", forming a single wall of the wall.
- Sheathing of the corners by the block can be carried out with the help of special "shaped" elements - rails nailed to the corners, as well as special boards with which the window openings are finished.
- After the house is completely sheathed with block house it can be painted or varnished with the necessary color.
Another way of finishing the corners is to use the initially measured and optically angled boards at the corners.
