Exterior finish frame house: how to choose the appropriate option?

Frame construction becomes more and more popular every year. Houses of this type are in no way inferior to a log house, they are just as warm, strong and durable. And most importantly their advantage is a large selection of materials for facade finishing. Each of them has its own characteristics. Installation of some can be done by hand, while others require a more professional approach. Consider the types of natural and synthetic materials for exterior cladding, their pros and cons.

High-quality finishing of the facade plays an important role in the construction of frame houses. Not only the exterior design of the house, but also its resistance to external environmental factors depends on the selected material. This is due to the fact that wood used in the construction of walls, quickly absorbs moisture. Therefore, without external coverage, the life of the building is noticeably reduced.

The wooden frame is a bearing base, which distributes the load through structures such as racks, beams, rafters, crossbars, etc. The foundation in such houses is usually columnar or pile, and they are characterized by a small subsidence of structures.

Despite the fact that frame structures are good variety of finishes, there are certain requirements for the choice of material. One of the main disadvantages of wooden structures is poor heat retention.And if metal was chosen as the base, heat loss will become an even bigger problem. It is worth considering.

Selected structures should reliably protect the walls of the house and the roof from wind, precipitation, temperature changes. Most modern materials also have excellent sound and noise insulation qualities, which is important for buildings located within the city and for country houses.

DSP (cement-bonded chipboard) and OSB (oriented-chipboard) plates are needed not so much for decoration as for hardening walls. Today they can be called the most popular among analog materials.

The panels are glued wood chips and chips. Their feature is that the fibers in the outer layers are arranged longitudinally, and inside - transversely. Synthetic-based resins and waxes are used as an adhesive, due to which the plates are not afraid of moisture. Facing the facade with drywall - no less successful option.The end result will be no worse than the previous one.

This is no less common material, beloved by customers due to the ease of installation, durability and aesthetic appearance. The material is included in the list of inexpensive, but it has excellent technical characteristics.

Allocate plastic, vinyl, metal and PVC siding. To decorate the outer walls of the building with plastic siding is not a problem. It is easy to install and suitable for cladding single-storey and multi-storey buildings, therefore, it is often used to design facades of municipal and private buildings. Of the minuses of this material can be noted a low level of strength. It is easy to break it with a single blow or with a sudden careless movement.

More durable is the option of metal. He has all the advantages of plastic material, in addition, has a gorgeous palette of colors. Of the minuses it can be noted that it is easily susceptible to the appearance of rust and creates noise during the rain. Usually, metal siding is coated on top with a polymer. This helps to prolong the life of the material and, accordingly, the whole house.

Siding to be painted. You can also buy ready-made color material.

The block house is a beautiful imitation of a log. From a distance it will seem that the house is really erected from solid wood. Only a professional can guess that the surface of the wall is wooden only from the outside.

The block house is an environmentally friendly building material. It is considered to be one of the types of carriages-type boards and looks like a log. Inside the heat-insulated mineral wool insulation. That is why the block house is recognized as a high-tech material.

To sheathe the outside of the building with such material is easy. Thanks to the convenient mounting system, the tongue and groove panels fit snugly together. And if necessary, any damaged item can be replaced.

For lining used single-fired tile. It has not lost its popularity for decades. This is due to the excellent appearance and performance of the material. The clinker is similar to the traditional tile, but at the same time has a high frost resistance, although it is thinner than ordinary ceramics.

Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of tiles. The variety of shapes and colors allows you to choose the best option for any design.

Thermopanels are used as mounted structures. This is a special material with a layer. As a rule, the panels are installed on a metal frame, and the space between the wall and the decorative panel is sealed with a special insulation. Most consumer reviews talk about the simplicity and ease of installation of hinged structures.

Many people choose this option, as they are 100% sure of its high technical performance.The use of panels helps to solve the problem of sound insulation, and the exterior of the building will look strictly and neatly. There are two types of mounted structures: ventilated and non-ventilated.

These materials are among the more expensive ways of cladding frame buildings. Due to the high cost of natural raw materials and its complexity in the installation of this option is rarely found. The most affordable option - laying artificial stone.

The material is made in the form of small plates of natural chips and resin, the texture of which exactly imitates the drawing of a stone. With it, you can perform masonry, which from a distance is almost impossible to distinguish from natural.

This material is presented in three types:

• silicate;
• ceramic;
• hyper pressed.

Silicate brick will be cheaper, but the lining of ceramic products will look more “elegant” and solemnly. Brick can be corpulent and hollow. The second option has excellent energy-saving features, so it is often chosen for the facade.

This method of exterior cladding is not suitable for durable use. As a rule, panels of plywood or OSB need to be plastered, and they are still covered with more durable material.

Plastering is necessary to protect panels or walls from getting wet. Therefore, the finishing stage of finishing is painting walls over plaster. It is worth noting that even high-quality paint does not give a lasting effect. After 3-4 years, the lining will begin to crack, you will need to repair the coating.

Wet cladding in frame construction is used along with additional insulation foam plates. When choosing it is important not to confuse the plates for the exterior cladding with the material for interior decoration. Required panels for exterior wall decoration are marked with the letter "f".

At installation of polyfoam of a plate paste a joint in a joint. For their better adhesion with the primer, the surface is treated with a sandpaper.After the material is fixed, a special glue is applied on its surface, into which a glass fiber mesh is “embedded”. After that, all the material is covered with a sand-based quartz primer and put plaster.

There is a lot of options of wall external facing. Properly selected material is a guarantee of durability and comfort of the frame building.

The choice depends on several factors:

• budget;
• climate of the region;
• material of a heater of the frame house.

The budget that the owner of the building has is an individual factor. However, it is worth considering that not always the most expensive material is the most effective and practical. For example, if you want to achieve a luxurious appearance of the facade, you can veneer the house with a block house. However, this material requires some care. Every few years, the coating must be treated with special antiseptics and paintwork. Otherwise, the tree will lose its beauty and strength. Nevertheless, despite the demands of care, a block house will cost much more than siding.

If mineral wool was chosen as insulation, then finishing can be carried out only with tile material. Options such as plastering or painting are no longer suitable. It is better to give preference to siding, block house, wall paneling. And if the insulation was carried out using foam, the plaster can be applied directly to the sheets.

• Facing the facade of a frame house siding is one of the most popular options today. A wide palette of colors allows you to choose the optimal shade for each case. The most popular are light and dark brown, olive, gray, beige shades.
