Mikhail Skvortsov When the load-bearing structures built houses, one of the main concerns of the homeowner - facade. Wow, that house looked like candy, and is not simply the four walls of the roof! Moreover, we can go our separate ways, in particular, use the various options facing. Species facing quite a lot. For the most part it is used in the decoration of the facades of houses built of brick or concrete honeycomb and frame. The facades of wooden houses are faced in rare cases, and the reason is clear: the tree does not require, as a rule, ennobling. But a wall of bricks requires finishing, and for these purposes can also use a brick. Paradox? Not at all. Brick Brick divisive, not all varieties are used to create support structures. Selection of special bricks, both domestic and foreign, is very broad. Facing ceramic bricks made on the most modern equipment, allowing to receive dozens of different shades and texture of the surface. Some European manufacturers are offering consumers about 500 colors and shades that can satisfy the most demanding customers. And produced not only rectangular bricks, but figured that allows any surface finish. The house can be built from the most crude and cheap materials, say from cinder blocks, but finished with decorative brick, finds the noble shape, it is aesthetically appealing. Paving tile mimics standard brick, repeating its shape and dimensions, except thickness. Peculiarities of production technology, as well as long roasting gives this material increased strength, frost resistance and make it virtually waterproof. The durability clinker tiles is second to none walling and the price it is quite accessible. In addition, an undoubted advantage - ease of transportation and installation. Due to the configuration of the back side of the dovetail tiles firmly connected to any surface. Imitating nature for cladding facades use and natural stone. However, this material is an expensive, inconvenient to work hard to deliver it to the construction site, so in recent years has become very popular with his excellent substitute - Artificial stone finishing. The technology of its production - the most advanced and allow to obtain very high quality and inexpensive products. The word "artificial" does not mean the use of some chemicals and harmful substances in the manufacture of decorative stone. For all its characteristics, it is absolutely safe for humans and environmentally friendly material. The basis for the production of stone imitation is portland cement. Added to it lightweight fillers, organic dyes, after which the mixture is poured into molds. Best performance achieved with a vibrating casting - facing material is obtained strong and durable. Inorganic pigments provide color retention unchanged for decades, and the staining volume. Unlike natural stone, which is supplied an array artificial transported in small boxes - move them easily and conveniently. The reverse side of the fragments of decorative stone is flat, so they are easy to mount to any surface: brick, plaster, wood, lined with gypsum plasterboard. In this case, the strength, reliability and durability of ersatz stone almost as good as natural. Special supplements significantly increase its stability to moisture, as well as the temperature drops from plus to minus. Use of such material can be as you wish, for example, for lining the basement or ground floor, fireplaces, and interior elements, as well as in landscape design. Enables simulation of a different kind, when the natural material is replaced by a plastic panel corresponds to the desired color and texture. But that is another class of decorative materials, radically different from those described above. If the facade finishing cement based materials are attached to the cement or glue, the plastic - a mechanical process. About them in the next section. Panel finish Fiberglass panels that mimic natural stone, emerged in our market around mid-nineties. At first it was only foreign products, but over time the domestic producers also learned how to produce such a fiberglass, and quite good. The merits of this material are many: very light and very easy to install, aesthetically - is reproduced in detail texture of natural stone. Another advantage - the finishing work can be done very quickly. To external and internal finishes such panels are needed schitanye days - in some cases it is extremely necessary. Fiberglass panels can simulate a rock, granite, and many other natural stones, as well as facing bricks. They are very resistant to temperature and other weather conditions, practically not affected by the defeat of mold and mildew. These panels do not fade in the sun, have high durability and retain their properties unchanged for many years. Panels can be fastened to almost any load-bearing structure. This requires self-tapping screws, dowels, nails, in some cases, sealants. That is "wet" processes (as in the case of tiling or brickwork) are excluded. So, the house can finish in the rain and snowfall. To finish the panel can be attributed, and a technology called "ventilated facade. Structure consisting of the facade screen, insulation material and the carrier base, attached to the wall so as to provide an air gap between the screen and the wall. As a result, removes the atmospheric and internal moisture, while in winter, the air gap acts as additional insulation. The system of ventilated facades can be used for wall cladding panels of various shapes and sizes. In particular, granite, fiber cement boards, as well as front panels, which are metal tapes in various colors. All of these panels is absolutely fireproof, durable, they significantly reduce the electromagnetic effects, and their design eliminates deformation due to repeated changes in temperature. Facade panels are compatible with the roof, windows doorways. Buildings with facades easily fit in the old building and in new residential areas. Merits of the panel fronts are many. First, the wall is protected from the effects of precipitation, temperature extremes and other weather conditions that our climate is extremely important. Secondly, the bearing wall in this case does not freeze in winter and does not overheat in the summer, because the dew point is kept at a proper distance from the inner surface. Third, thanks to a ventilated gap in a heater does not accumulate moisture, which greatly extends the life of the system. Not to mention the ease of installation, which can be performed at any time of year, as the "wet" processes are also excluded. If you have to deal with the reconstruction of old buildings, the need for further repair the walls no longer: the moisture from them will be disposed of through a vented air gap, and the alignment of the facade is provided by structural elements. In the construction of ventilated facades are not special requirements to the wall surface - no need to pre-alignment and plastering. Moreover - panel facades can hide defects in the external walls. Finally, they protect against such evils of the modern city, such as increased noise, and very effectively. In ventilated systems use relatively new decoration material - slabs of marble chips, designed for lining and insulation of facades of residential and industrial buildings. This technology was developed in Sweden and is now actively used in over 20 countries worldwide. These panels are environmentally friendly and completely harmless material: they are made of marble chips, cement and pigment, and metal frame to which they are attached, - steel sheet hot-dip galvanizing. For the installation does not require any mortar or glue or nails. It can be done year round. In use as insulation mineral wool, basalt slabs, as well as windproof film. The system also includes elements facing slopes, tides and doors are made of galvanized steel with polymer coating. Can be mounted without a heater, which reduces the cost of facade decoration. The surface of the front panels of marble chips can be perfectly smooth and rough. A variety of colors allows you to create interesting facade drawings that look very enlivens any building. Batten is not made of wood acquired considerable popularity and facade finishing material such as vinyl wall paneling or siding. This is a foreign invention, which quickly caught on with us. To verify this, it is enough to drive through the suburbs of St. Petersburg: a lot of buildings are covered with perfectly smooth lining, as a rule, light colors, but this is not a tree. Siding - a small width of the vinyl panel with a special locking lug. When installing the panels interlock with each other, forming an integral waterproof coating, which is additionally attached to the base with nails or screws. Mounted siding is very simple: on the wall with dowels fixed metal profiles, and then they attach the panel. By using this finishing material can be styled the surface under the tree in different shades, make a quick esthetic old shabby wall or ennoble the unfinished brick "box". Siding is impervious to water and resistant to corrosion, frost, incombustible and does not fade with time. Its service life measured in decades, caring for them is only in intermittent irrigation water. And what is important: it is an environmentally friendly material.
