Block house decoration
Exterior home decoration from SIP panels may include the use of a block house. This material is a decorative lining made of wood with a rounded section of the board. The object, lined with a block house, looks like a log building. Most manufacturers of such cladding offer clapboard, which is made from hardwood. Production of a block house is carried out at the stage of sawing logs. On the 4 sides of the rounded log, the sidewalls are removed, which turn into a lining with the appropriate profile after additional procedures.

Facade plastering
For those who decide to do the exterior decoration of the house from SIP panels with their own hands, the photos will become the best assistants. They will allow you to understand whether it is worth using plaster for cladding. Since ancient times, this method is not only economical, but also popular. To this day, plaster is applied to the walls of cottages, country houses and country houses.
Conventional stucco based on cement and sand is able to even out the relief, but the appearance of the walls will be far from perfect. Therefore, the lining is carried out using decorative mixtures. They reduce the thermal conductivity of the facade structure and protect the interior from noise.
The main advantage of decorative plastering is the attractive appearance of the object. Such a finish is good because the consumer has the opportunity to choose a color from a wide range. Among other things, you can choose one of many textures. When considering options for exterior decoration of a house from SIP panels, you should consider plaster mixes in more detail before using them yourself. After all, they require a master of high qualification and experience. But if you make some effort, then you can cope with such work yourself. If we compare the plaster with other options for cladding, the first will ensure the tightness and vapor permeability of the facade.
Stone use
Exterior decoration of houses from SIP panels is often carried out with natural stone. It is used in combination with other materials. Natural stone is a wide range of materials that differ in color, texture and configuration. Installation is carried out on a special glue, which in composition is similar to that used for laying tiles.
As a result of finishing work, the construction object acquires the following qualities:
- decrease in thermal conductivity of walls;
- aesthetic appeal;
- durability;
- reliability finishes.
To all of the above, we can add that regular cosmetic repairs to the facade are not required.
Using Flexible Stone
Decorating houses from SIP panels, the photo of which you can see in the article, can be done with a flexible stone. This material is relatively new, and is made from acrylic resin or marble chips. As a result, it is possible to obtain elastic plates that are easy to install.
Such facades look attractive. The material can be installed on its own, the main condition in this case is to observe the sequence of work. You do not need to plaster the walls, you can immediately begin installation work. Mounting is carried out on a cement-based adhesive. Due to the fact that the front surface at the factory is protected by a special film, it is not necessary to clean the joints. Upon completion of the work, the protective layer is removed, on this we can assume that the facade is ready.
Considering the options for decorating houses from SIP panels, you may choose a flexible stone. With it, you can conveniently trim the window slopes and corners. For this, special additional elements are used, which are supplied with the rest of the tiles.
Plastering walls from SIP panels
Exterior decoration of the house from SIP panels with stucco can be done by you. To do this, the facade is pre-prepared: it needs to be treated with rough plaster. After the layer has completely dried, it should be treated with putty, and then with a primer. If you make sure that there is a layer of putty and primer on the wall, this will minimize the cost of expensive materials. The next step is to mark the captures. This stage is necessary so that in open places joints from layers deposited at different times are not visible.
The surface should be divided into separate sections. The edges of the grips should be located on the inner corners, slopes, as well as the edges of the columns. To keep the edges of the grips smooth, beacons should be installed when applying the covering layer.
Finishing work should be carried out at temperatures ranging from +5 to +30 ° C. Relative humidity should be kept at 70%. It is not permissible to perform plastering during or immediately after snow or rain. The sun's rays should not fall on the surface. The application of the mixture can be carried out manually or mechanically.
