Often, owners of private houses are faced with the problem of renovation of facades or their warming. Of course, the ideal option would be to update the facade, overlapping it, for example, with a brick, as the most traditional material. But, for various reasons, this is not always possible. How to solve such a problem? Nothing complicated! Exit in the use of siding for exterior decoration of buildings with a "brick" surface.
Siding outside for brick
First of all, what is siding . These are panels of standardized sizes, intended for exterior cladding of buildings. The construction market offers sidings made of PVC, metal and fiber cement with imitation of the surface of various natural materials - wood, stone, brick. It is the siding panels for bricks that are in high demand among consumers.
A quite reasonable question may arise: why not use natural bricks, why do we need a material that imitates it? The answer can be obtained by considering the qualitative and operational characteristics of siding. First of all, the price index. Natural brick, nevertheless, expensive. Decorating the house with a siding for a brick will cost a lot cheaper, and the external effect will be almost the same - the reliability of the transfer of the brick surface is very high and to determine that the house is finished with siding can only come to it closely.
Further, siding is resistant to the influence of an external unfavorable environment, various microorganisms and molds; not destroyed and does not burn out under the influence of direct sunlight, does not have delaminations and blisters, does not require periodic restoration work (on brickwork, it is necessary to repair cracks from time to time, perhaps - to tint). Vinyl siding (the most popular among private developers) has a low weight, so it can be used to cover buildings of any number of storeys without creating additional stress on the foundation and bearing elements of the building. In addition, vinyl siding is easy to install and maintain (if necessary, it is enough to wash it with water from a hose), it is durable (the warranty service life is up to 50 years).
Types of siding for brick
Depending on the location of the siding, it is divided into a facade and a basement. Although, this division is very conditional, since the socle siding can be used as a facade one. Vinyl socle siding for bricks is somewhat thicker than wall (facade) siding. This is due to the fact that in the lower part of the building deforming loads have a higher index. For the same purpose, siding is used from fiber cement. Metal siding, because of the heavy weight for finishing private houses, is rarely used. The area of its application is the facing of industrial buildings. Facade siding for brick (vinyl and cement) is available in several shades - white brick, red brick, beige, antique brick, burnt bricks, a combination of colors. In addition, the production technology of siding allows not only to imitate the appearance of the brick, but even its texture and the smallest characteristic features of this material - chips, scratches, irregularities, even roughness of the joints. Installation of facade siding is made on the principle of a ventilated facade on a wooden crate or galvanized profile. It allows without additional problems to conduct additional insulation of facades, having laid a layer of this or that heater.
The use of siding under a brick for the decoration of the socle or the facade of the house is beautiful, technologically and economically justified.
