In any of the structures, the plinth is most exposed to the adverse effects of the environment. Rains, snow, meltwater, temperature changes - all this does not have a good effect on its finish - periodically it is required to carry out restoration work. But this applies to traditional types of plinth trim. Modern materials for finishing the socle, such as siding of various high-strength materials, practically nullify the impact of unfavorable factors on this vulnerable place of any home.
Siding for finishing the base of the house
The most common, affordable, always in demand among consumers, the types of siding for the socle is vinyl siding . It is produced in the form of panels with a smooth surface or imitating this or that natural finishing material. The greatest demand is for vinyl siding panels for the basement for brick or stone masonry. Depending on the production series, the panels can have different colors. Very impressive look panels for brickwork in milky-white or wool color, no less original plinth panels of olive, linen, amber flowers or the color of natural sandstone.

For the production of siding, other materials are also used, for example, metal or fiber-reinforced concrete (cement with the addition of cellulose fibers). Metal siding for socle is made of galvanized steel with the drawing of a pattern with a special composition of polymer dyes or a method of offset printing. Such siding, for example, under a log, very realistically conveys the appearance of a natural tree. It seems that the house is based on a log cabin.

Not less original looks and concrete siding for the socle. The technology of siding production from concrete allows creating not only high-strength finishing material, but also accurately simulating the surfaces of natural materials - facing brick, stone, even wood. Particularly popular is the concrete siding for the basement for brick. This is due to the fact that with almost the same appearance, the use of concrete siding will cost less than the lining of the socle with natural brick. Yes, and physical indicators (strength, durability, resistance to external environment) concrete siding in comparison with the brick is much higher.
