The first thing that catches our eye when approaching the house is the facade. Its design and selection of materials completely depend on the wishes of the owners. However, the facade of the house should be not only beautiful, but also necessarily practical.
Perhaps, when designing a house, you give preference to a brick, considering it a symbol of solidity and solidity, while rejecting other home decoration options in advance . In this case, do not forget to provide a reinforced foundation. If this is not done in advance, the consequences will be unpredictable. Brick facade also requires a wider foundation. An important role is assigned to this size.
The fact is that where the facing brick will lie down, there should be ventilated facades of the houses. This technology provides an air gap device that creates a fireplace effect. The ventilated facade of the house allows air to circulate in the space that is provided between the surface of the insulating materials and the outer lining. This becomes possible due to the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the gap. Air flows remove moisture formed on the load-bearing wall. At the same time, with increasing air temperature in the gap, the thrust increases.
The ventilated facade of the house allows you to create comfortable living conditions in the premises in the summer heat. It prevents the penetration of large amounts of heat through the outer walls. Facing the facade with a brick in winter protects the house from the wind. At the same time, the air gap serves as an additional heater, which saves on heating. Almost all thermal insulation materials have a fibrous structure, which also provides reliable sound insulation. An important advantage of brick cladding is its ability to protect the power structural elements of the house from the harmful effects of the environment. She also protects from fire.
Facades of private houses in most cases are finished with siding. This material has appeared relatively recently. It was first used by American builders in the fifties of the last century. Currently, siding in Russia has gained well-deserved popularity. This material is an aluminum or vinyl lining and has many advantages. Siding is durable. It does not lose its quality characteristics over time, does not require renovation and perfectly protects the structural elements of the building from external influences. In addition, siding provides air circulation. Vinyl wall paneling does not support combustion, is able to withstand large temperature differences and is much cheaper than brick and wood.
The facade of the house can also be finished with a block house. This material is a semicircular lining that simulates a rounded log. Before performing work, it is necessary to determine the choice of material. It is advisable not to save upon its purchase, since its heat-saving ability depends on the thickness, and water absorption depends on the type of wood species.
It is desirable to finish the facade of the house with a block house made of larch. In this case, the lining must be selected thick and wide. Such a block house will have high strength and improved thermal insulation characteristics. The money spent on it will more than pay off with excellent quality.
