What can I polish the base of the house?
For finishing you can use different materials, namely:
- Natural stone . One of the most expensive types of finishes. Can be made of limestone, sandstone, marble or granite. Depending on the type of material, the tile may have a different texture, shade and size. A stone can cover the whole basement of a building or its partial elements (angle, bottom of the base).
- Clinker brick . Externally, it is identical to classic brick, which is used for facing facades. The only difference is a small thickness (7-20 mm) and a small weight of the structure. In addition, the installation of clinker bricks is very simple - you just need to put it on an elastic glue solution and fill the gaps with a polyurethane mass.
- Plaster . Here, solutions based on cement with the addition of lime or sand are used. Plaster can be applied in various decorative ways, achieving imitation of quarry stone or other intricate texture. The dried out surface is opened with a facade paint.
- Porcelain tiles . If you do not know how to clothe the base of the house, then you can safely use this material. It warms the building well, has excellent heat and sound insulation properties. The plinth of granite will have a beautiful lacquer shine and will serve as a decoration for the house.
- Artificial stone . In contrast to natural it is cheaper and easier to install. Artificial stone has good frost resistance and impact resistance, does not fade with time.
