Facing options
A rock
Facing material can be natural or artificial stone.
The most commonly used natural materials: sandstone, marble, granite. The mount is carried out on a metal grid. Facing with artificial stone is carried out in similar technology. It has high strength, resistant to mechanical impact, moisture and thermosetics.
Wood
The house lined with a tree is an eco-friendly solution. This material gives a feeling of comfort and home heat. For cladding, pine, cedar, oak and larch are used.
Before applying cladding, the house is covered with primer and insulation. Then the doomle is applied to which wooden plates are attached.
Siding
Panels have two advantages: they are cheaper than stone and wood, you can choose color. Combines their simplicity of installation and long service life.
Common way to finish the facade - siding. Siding panels are easy mounted, they are not afraid of rain, snow, moldy insect pests. The material is light, does not give a load on the foundation.
However, vinyl siding fuel, with combustion can be released toxic substances, the sun can burn out, and in winter this material breaks easily. Replace one damaged panel will not work, you will have to remove the entire facade. Another one minus vinyl material is in its components. They have a different linear expansion when heating and cooled, and the components when heated in the sun, slightly deform, but when cooled, they do not always take the same form.
PVC panels
Another way to finish is the front panels from PVC. They are produced in the form of large, ready for installation, modules that imitate brick or stone masonry. They are easy to install on any base, and the unwarting surface is obtained, which are not formed by the semioles. Mounting technology hides even severe irregularities, it means you don't have to spend money on plastering.
Clinker tile
Make a bright barcode can be small amounts of decorative tiles. At the same time, it should be harmonized with the other elements of the facade. The clinker appeared in our country recently and is still quite expensive due to high strength characteristics. The clinker has a high frost resistance, resistant to temperature, is not amazed by mold, just to care for it.
But there are its disadvantages: tiles are about 1.5 times harder than the usual ceramic brick, and therefore this load should be taken into account at the design stage, make a margin when calculating the foundation.
Facade tile
The front tile is created from glass cholester, bitumen and granulate from the natural basalt. Service life - about twenty years, increased tightness, corrosion resistance, temperature fluctuations, color stability. At the same time, it reliably imitates brickwork.
Decorative plaster
It can mimic the texture of the sized surface, natural stone or simply to form an original drawing. Due to the thick crumbling layer, the material masks small irregularities, minor defects of the base surface, do not need to carefully prepare the basis. Granular filler (marble or granite crumb, quartz sand) gives plaster with durability, the coating becomes resistant to mechanical damage.
However, the plaster has its drawbacks: a limited choice of shades, high laboriousness of applying the composition, creating a decorative relief, greater material consumption than when working with facade paints. In addition, the material is not recommended to apply at temperatures below + 5 ° C.
Combining finishing materials
It looks very unusually combined materials. Such a technique helps to issue a building and achieve technological advantages: additional sound insulation, protection against dampness.
Decorative ways of decoration
Architectural decorations
From gypsum, glass fibrobeton, polyurethane and polymer concrete, architectural decorations are obtained: columns, balustrades, eaves. If the house is already built, architectural jewelry will not carry a functional load, only decorative. For example, a mini-column near the window opening.
Tubes on the windows
The windquarters on the windows minimize heat loss are protected from drafts, dust. Frequency platforms often use. They, like the frontones of the facades, decorated with carvings in the past century, now this option will be advantageously highlighted against the background of other houses.
Also, the platband can be telescopic. Its fastening is between the wall and the window frame. Most often, such platbands are painted by the color of the elements of the facade.
Live plants
Another fashionable direction of the decor is to decorate the facade of the house with flowers and curly plants. In England, grapes and ivy are used for these purposes. Curly plants emphasize the architecture of the house, improve the microclimate, stabilize the temperature inside. Plants can be transferred by changing the type of facade.
Under the conditions of the middle strip of Russia for these purposes, ivy is best suited, grapes or Crimean ivy will be taken in southern latitudes.
The plant is planted at the foot of the house, stretch alongside the fishing line, which stretch from the roof to the ground. Greater, the plant will very much on them, cling to the wall.
Worn ornaments
The spectacular decoration of the house will be forged accessories. They draw up the porch, windows, balconies.
These decor elements differ in the principle of manufacture. Cold forging - entirely machine, it is cheaper. With the help of hot forging masters manually create complex suitive parts.
There is also coverage of wrought parts. It can be patinated, warm shades or gray-steel - blond.
Lighting
You can change the appearance of the house without resorting to repair. Thoughtful lighting beautifully emphasize the building.
Remember that the usual garland for the home tree is not suitable here. For street decoration use frost-resistant moisture resistant ornaments. Their shelf life significantly exceeds similar indicators from ordinary garlands.
Painted
You can decorate the facade with painting. This is a great opportunity for creativity and giving the appearance of the house of uniqueness.
For this, the wall on which the drawing is planned is planned, it is necessary to first align. You can apply a layer of paint, which will be the background for the future picture.
Preference in such decoration is given to the matte acrylic paint on a water basis. If it is scary to make an error, use stencils. Look at the photo how you can decorate the facade of the house painting.
Accessories
Accessories are a solution for those who are looking for how to decorate the facade of the house before the holidays. Such decorations are easy to make with your own hands or found in the store. They are easy to change at any time, depending on the holiday or season.
