The attractive appearance of any building - residential or public - depends on how competently completed the facade. In addition to the decorative function, it contributes to the achievement of reliable protection of the walls from external factors. To ensure the longevity of operation, it is important to choose the facing materials responsibly and competently.
Today there is a huge amount of materials, due to which the decorative decoration of the facades can be performed in any stylistic decision. Moreover, each owner of the house chooses a material that will meet the requirements of aesthetics of the appearance of the surface, reliability, resistance to various influences, as well as durability.
So, vinyl siding is considered one of the most popular finishing materials. Appeared in Russia not so long ago, this material has already managed to gain popularity among buyers. The essence of this cladding is the use of panels that sheathe walls. The panels are notable for their ease of use and installation, wide color gamut, and excellent appearance; however, one does not have to expect great strength from them. Lining is also not very durable, but outwardly attractive material.
Facade decoration can also be carried out using stone - artificial or natural. Such surfaces are strong, durable, which is the main requirement of most customers. Modern technologies have contributed to the fact that even the simplest stone has an incomparable texture, and from the point of view of color performance, a wide selection of facing materials is offered today.
Using stone materials for the decoration of facades, it is worth starting from what size and style the building will be. For example, a castle-style house or mansion should be lined with materials of a dark shade: diorite, granite, gabbro. If you want to create a light, airy facade, it is better to use limestone or marble. In any case, you should choose a stone that will be distinguished by durability and frost resistance, because these properties are the most important for operation in Russian climatic conditions.
The facade decoration with plaster looks spectacular. Today, you can choose it of different types: cement-sand, facade or decorative, so that the surfaces of the walls can be given a very different look. Moreover, the peculiarity of the material is its fire resistance and high rates of heat and sound insulation. The most natural type of raw material is cement-sand, which in addition to sand and cement does not contain any chemical additives.
Facade decoration with decorative plaster is an opportunity to create an expressive and individual exterior. The cheapest variety of this decorative material is acrylic, but it is not resistant to temperature extremes. If you add quartz sand to the plaster , seeding rocks or stone chips, you can achieve the effect of simulating expensive finishing materials.
