Siding white - installation tips

Most owners of private suburban housing prefer outer cladding of walls of a neutral, light shade. And there are several objective reasons for this. If the house is surrounded by a garden, lawns, green plantations, in this case the siding white in combination with a dark roof looks simply luxurious.

Instruments

Decorating the house with white siding is a fairly simple task that does not require the use of sophisticated equipment and a specialized tool. To implement the task, you will need the following:

• Building level.
• A hammer.
• Screwdriver.
• Bulgarian or hand saw with small teeth.
• Roulette.
• Scissors.
• Ladder.

Installation

Before laying the siding white, a number of preparatory measures are carried out. To begin with, all the protruding elements are dismantled from the walls. External surfaces are cleaned of dirt, old paint, mold. With the help of mounting foam, cracks are sealed. The walls are treated with a primer and antiseptics.

Siding white is laid on a metal or wooden crate. The latter should form a frame around the perimeter of the walls, where the installation of the material will take place.

In the openings of the crate, the heat insulator is tightly packed. The thickness of the rails here is selected in the expectation that after installing the insulation between the prepared frame and siding panels, there will be about 2 mm of free space. This is required to create natural ventilation.

Siding white is laid horizontally, starting with the base band, the correct position of which is determined in advance by the building level. The subsequent bars are fitted into special grooves. Fastening panels is self-tapping.

Material Advantages

What are the advantages of siding white? The photos of the realized projects using the facing material, presented in this material, show how attractive the object becomes after the completion of the work.

Modern decorative panels of white PVC differ in the variety of sizes and textures. Bright lining gives the buildings an extremely effective, elegant appearance. Even with a relatively dull surrounding landscape, the white panels are pleasing to the eye.

Due to the specific characteristics of the production raw materials, the white siding does not lose its original shade and brightness, despite the conditions and duration of operation. The material for panel production is safe for humans and the environment.

Care

As they are in operation, PVC wall paneling panels require minimal maintenance. Since the surface of the material is extremely smooth, it is not easily adhered to by dust and dirt. If necessary, the siding can be cleaned with a solution based on a dishwashing detergent. In the end, it remains only to coat the walls with water from a garden hose.

Damaged siding panels are easily dismantled and replaced due to the possibility of a connection in the groove. Proceeding from this, at purchase of a material it is necessary to take care of acquisition of a certain quantity of spare laths.
