The appearance of the house is the concern of any self-respecting owner. Significant funds that you always want to save sometimes go to decorate your home. And to sheathe a house with siding in this case is an excellent solution. Our recommendations will help you think through all the preliminary stages of work, as well as pre-purchase the necessary materials.
There are two finishes, which are determined depending on how and with what frequency you use the house. In the first case, it will be necessary to use insulation materials, in the second, siding can be stuffed "naked." It is clear that in the case of year-round living you will not be able to do without a heater, while for a summer residence you can simply sheathe the house with siding without spending money on additional materials.
Finishing should be carried out from the bottom up. It should be noted that for the basement today there are many specialized materials that are preferable to use. In particular, recently basement panels with imitation of natural stone are very popular. When covering the entire house with such material, you can create the impression of a real stone castle. This can be clearly seen in the photo of houses lined with siding.
It is very important to remember that the surface for the lining must be perfectly flat. Otherwise, you will get a house whose walls will resemble a worrying sea due to the large number of wave-like bends. The easiest and most reliable way to level the walls with a conventional wooden crate. As a rule, bars up to 5 cm thick are used, the step of the bars should be no more than 0.4 m. Before siding a wooden house, be sure to identify and remove all the foci of decay, treat them with antiseptic compounds, since in the future you will get to them almost impossible.
Subsequent work is performed in several stages at once. First attach the corner plates. Following are the connecting profiles. If you use the above-mentioned base material, then it is even easier to fasten, since each panel clings to another using special connecting elements. The upper strip of material is attached using a special finishing strip, although you can use ordinary wooden lining. In a word, sheathing a house with siding is not so difficult, and it will not take so much money.
There are both supporters and ardent opponents of this kind of finish. But we will not give the arguments of the second side here, but say a few words about the merits of this material. First of all,
sheathing a house with siding should be for those who want to get a beautiful and aesthetically looking home.
Secondly, you will greatly save on subsequent activities to update the facade, as this will simply not be necessary. In addition, even an old wooden house will last longer, since this material will protect it reliably. But you can feel confident only if, using our recommendations, prepare the exterior walls well, treating them with anti-decay compounds! Otherwise, the process will go even faster under the facing.
