Without exception, each individual developer, choosing a material for finishing the facade of his home, takes into account a number of factors, the most important of which are external attractiveness and reliability.
In this unanimity there is nothing surprising, everyone wants his house to look aesthetic and corresponded to the ideas of its owner of beauty. In addition to attractiveness, the facade material should become a reliable protection for a long time, protecting the inner structures from atmospheric precipitation, sunlight and other negative environmental impacts. We will add to this list even ease and ease of installation, resistance to mechanical exposure, non-visibility for maintenance and obtain a complete set of characteristics of the perfect material.
Today, in the construction market, the buyer can purchase facade systems for every taste and wallet, but not each of them can meet the tasks set, especially in conditions when you have to make a choice with a limited budget. And indeed, until recently it was quite difficult for a reasonable price to find a material that would successfully combine a high level of reliability, ease of installation and the external beauty that gives the house a unique style. A few years ago, Tekhnonikol brought a modern facing material - the Hauberk facade tile, which most complies with the demanding requirements of buyers, which, besides, a democratic price even compared to most of the materials of the lower and medium price segments.

The HAUBERK facade tile is a flexible finishing material in the form of a cloth - trunks of 1000 * 250 mm in size based on glass cholester, improved bitumen and granules from a natural basalt, which in finished form resembles brickwork. While in the same price segment with well-known vinyl siding, Hauberk tile significantly exceeds the last one for most consumer characteristics.
We present some comparisons.
Reliability and durability
Hauberk can be applied in any climatic zones with a temperature range from -60 to + 90 ° C. The facade tile can easily withstand both a strong cold and a bright sun, while not changing its physical characteristics. Siding should not boast of this, when hesitating the air temperature, it can significantly change its linear dimensions and swell on the walls.
Due to its structure, the facade of HAUBERK tiles is fully sealed, as well as resistant to mechanical effects, including natural, such as degrees. Strength and stiffness of siding - below the average, sufficiently non-alert to disrupt its integrity.
Throughout the service life, basalt coating tiles does not change its color. At the same time, vinyl siding besides what burns out in the sun, also accumulates difficult dust on the surface.

Easy mounting
Installation of the facade tile HAUBERK can be performed even at negative temperatures, provided that the material is supplied from the warm room. Siding can be mounted only at normal air temperatures, it is impossible to do this in very hot or frosty weather.
The facade tile Hauberk is mounted on a flat wooden base, which can act as FSF plywood or OSB-3 sheets. At the same time, due to the tile format, it can be easily chopped and adjusted under the desired form. What is important, the Hauberk tile practically does not have additional components and so-called quiet items than Siding cannot boast, and during installation there is practically no waste that, again, not in favor of siding.

Main recommendations on installation
The Hauberk tile is made in the seven most popular color solutions that imitate the brick color, which allows any developer to choose the finishing material to their taste, "tied" it to the color range of the base and roof. Purely, externally, Hauberk looks more than naturally, and even from a close distance, it is almost impossible to distinguish it from natural brick or clinker tiles.
Installation of the facade tile Hauberk is quite simple, even for a person who does not have rich construction experience, and can be performed alone without much trouble. The material is mounted on a solid smooth wooden base from OSB-3 plates or FSF plywood. Immediately before laying the facade tile on the base surface, marking lines are applied, which play the role of guides, to align the tiles horizontally and vertically.
The tile is mounted below up, ranging from the corner of the house. In the facade tiles used for the starting band device, remove the protective film and cut the bricks-bricks, after which it is nailed to the base with a nail with a wide hat, pressing to the lower boundary of the facade. On top of the starting strip, the first row of the front tile is fastened with the basement in such a way that the "bricks" of the first row covered the starting strip. The following rows are stacked with a displacement from the previous half of the petal, thereby imitating brickwork. Each shingle is attached to eight nails so that the backstage of the overlay tiles overlap the nails of the underlying. When installing the upper row of nails tile simultaneously fasten the lower row.

To ensure reliable fixation during the installation process, it is necessary to ensure the bonding of the facade tiles between themselves. On the back of the material, a protective film is removed, which closes the adhesive layer, if necessary, this layer is heated by a construction hairdryer and pressed to the bottom row.
For registration of indoor and external corners of the house, as well as door and window openings, the package includes special metal corners and platbands with an aluminum protective layer, coated with granules from a natural basalt or a variant with a colored polymer coating.

The ease and ease of installation are caused by the flexibility and flexibility of the material. Of all the tools for cutting and trimming tiles, the developer requires only a sharp roofing knife.

You do not attract the monotonous color of the wall and I want to make an element of diversity? With the facade tile of Hauberk make it not difficult. After all, each tile consists of 4 petals (from 4 separate "bricks") and just like a bricklayer from bricks, you can make your own unique pattern on the wall, but there is only a wide range of color gamut. Just cut the canvas on separate petals according to the layout drawn in advance and secure them on the wall as well as entire canvas. When installing rows of tiles or individual petals are mounted with each other, and the overlying row overlaps when the bottom tiles are shifted. When the ends and corners are framed, the half of the petal imitating half of the brick can also be used.
