1st stone for facade house design

Since the trend on environmental friendliness and proximity to nature every year only strengthens its positions, designers and architects often choose natural or artificial stone for finishing houses.

Natural facing options

• Granite. It can be light gray or pinkished, with streaks or without.
• Limestone. Plates can be in the shades of white, yellow and pink.
• Travertine. Color range is more diverse: from light white tones to saturated dark.
• Sandstone. Another bright finish material, more durable than limestone.
• Slate. It may be yellow, black and red.

Artificial stone has a more diverse color range and lower prices.

Options for artificial materials for decoration

• Clinker stone. Reminds brickwork.
• Concrete. Repeats the appearance of granite, but significantly cheaper.
• Ceramics. You can find ceramic bricks and tiles with a polished surface of almost any shade.
• Architectural. In appearance resembles sandstone and limestone, but quite expensive.
• Polymerpess panels. Look like ripped or crushed slices of stone. Usually they are used for the emphasis design part of the wall.
• Based on resin. In color, this material resembles natural rocks, as the stone crumb is mixed with a special resin.

If you use a noticeable wool color, cover them some of the walls, for example, at the bottom of the perimeter of the house, and the rest area is more neutral, say, with light plaster. Material resembling brickwork or light stone, as in the photo in the gallery, you can upload over the entire surface and shade with contrasting frames for windows, roofing and balcony finish.

2 wood finish

The design of the facade of a private house from a tree can be arranged in several stylistic directions.

Style directions

• Minimalism. The walls are covered with smooth lines of wooden boards, a roof is flat or quite a bit low, without decor. Well combines with the same minimalist landscape.
• Classic. A more decorated option is suitable for a small country house with a fruit garden in the yard.
• Imitation of foreign classics. Surely you can find out a typical American, German or french wooden country cottage without tips.

Suitable materials

Materials for the design of a wooden facade of a single-storey or two-story house may be several.

• Lining. Popular in Russia because of low prices, but it does not like it because of associations with a bath, especially in a lacquered form. To the wall of the wallpaper turned out to be more modern, paint it with a complex paint with a deep tint, achieving an inhomogeneous structure.
• Block house. In essence, it is the same lining, but resembling a massive log cabin.
• Wooden plank. This is not the easiest option: it is necessary to care for it, clean, soak, ensure that the boards do not have led, to put them so that there are no big clearances when it does not appear. But from a designer point of view, this is a terrific choice, the material changes under the influence of the Sun and weather conditions and gives the effect of a noble arrangement.
• Grand, Schindel, Dranca. Initially, they were used to finish the roof, but the designers had long started using them for the design of the walls. It turns out the factual and interesting.
• Thin rails. Thin wooden planks nourish horizontally or braziness, then the recognizable "Christmas tree" pattern is obtained.
• Wide boards. An option that looks rough, but that is how often Scandinava's houses are separated. Boards are put vertically or horizontally, with overweight.

3 plaster

The concise design of the country house outside and the absence of damp and mold inside is achieved by using plaster. The main advantage is that it allows the walls to breathe, and the back surface can be painted in any color. True, at the same time will have to separately think about sound and thermal insulation, prepare walls, clearing and aligning the surface.

We offer several types of plaster, which can be used to create a colorful design of houses, as in the photo gallery.

Types of plaster for the facade

• Mineral. The cheapest and not completely flammable plaster. But it does not fit new buildings, as it can crack during shrinkage.
• Acrylic. More elastic material is suitable for a new home. May burn, so the insulation for the house will have to take not combustible. Also, the walls can not be washed with water, which can become a problem.
• Silicate. A little more expensive because of its composition, quickly freezes and requires a good pre-primer, which is why the work with it is better to trust professional finishing. At the same time, it is enough elastic, resistant to pollution and is not afraid of moisture.
• Silicone. It has the same properties that silicate, combined with any facade materials and insulation.

This design is suitable for both modern minimalist home, and more classical design. Also posted and painted walls are well combined with artificial stone, siding and wood. For example, a cottage looks interesting, where the perimeter of windows and the entrance is laid out with an artificial stone, and the remaining part of the walls is covered with plaster painted in a beige color. And before painting the house outside, look at the design of the site, they must be combined with each other, for example, as in the photo.

4 Siding

Design of houses outside, the photos of which can be found below in the gallery, made using different types of siding. This option is suitable if you like monophonic bright facades that are not changing under the influence of sun, rain, snow and temperature drops.

Externally, all kinds of siding look approximately the same, so focus on the necessary characteristics necessary for you.

Types of siding

• Plastic. Moisture-resistant siding, which copes with temperature drops, protects the house from moisture and resistant to sunshine. But it can crack when hitting.
• Metal. More durable and durable, due to special impregnation resistant to dampness, but quite heavy, so it is not suitable for each wall.
• Wood. Eco-friendly and beautiful siding, but not so durable as plastic or metal.
• Fibro-cement. Perfectly protects against noise and cold, but heavy enough, suitable if you have a fortified foundation.

If you want to make the design of the facade of a house or a cottage with an edging along the bottom of the wall, look for the base siding - it resembles a stone masonry and is produced by strips with a thickness of about 50-60 cm.
