Facade of the house - types of decoration

The first thing that draws our eye when approaching the house is the facade. His design and selection of materials completely depend on the wishes of the owners. However, the facade of the house should not only be beautiful, but also necessarily practical.

Perhaps when designing a house you prefer brick, considering it a symbol of solidity and solidity, while rejecting in advance other options for finishing the house. In that case, do not forget to provide a reinforced foundation. If this is not done in advance, the consequences will be unpredictable. The brickwork of the facade also requires a wider basement. This size is assigned an important role.

The fact is that where there will be a facing brick, there should be ventilated facades of 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 thermal insulation materials and the outer lining. This becomes possible due to the difference in temperatures between the inner and outer surfaces of the gap. Air flows remove the moisture formed on the carrier 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 rooms 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. The air gap at the same time serves as an additional heater, which saves on heating. Virtually all thermal insulation materials have a fibrous structure, which also ensures reliable sound insulation. An important advantage of the brick facing is its ability to protect the structural components of the house from the harmful influence of the environment. It also protects from fire.

Facades of private houses in most cases are finished with siding. This material appeared relatively recently. It was first used by American builders in the fifties of the last century. At present, in Russia, the siding has received a well-deserved popularity. This material is an aluminum or vinyl lining and has a lot of 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, the siding provides air circulation. Vagonka of vinyl does not support burning, it can withstand large temperature changes and is much cheaper than bricks and wood.

The facade of the house can be finished and block-house. This material is a semicircular lining imitating round logs. Before the production of work, you need to decide on the choice of material. It is advisable not to save on its acquisition, since its heat-saving capacity depends on the thickness, and on the type of wood species - water absorption.

It is desirable to decorate the facade of the house with a block house of larch. In this case, the lining must be chosen thick and wide. Such a block house will have high strength and enhanced thermal insulation characteristics. The money spent on it will more than pay off excellent quality.
