Finishing siding wooden house

Every lucky owner of his own home thinks about the problem of his external ennobling. It does not matter what your house is built of, from logs or timber. Finishing siding of a wooden house will be the most profitable and economical solution. This will not only improve the aesthetics of the building, but also make its insulation.

The siding of the wooden house should be finished after full shrinkage of the walls. What is this finishing material? Siding is a strip, the length of which can be from 2 to 6 meters, and the width is 10-30 centimeters with a thickness of 1-10 millimeters. According to the material of manufacture, siding is divided into several types:

· Wood

· Steel

· Cement

· Aluminum

· Vinyl

The profile of the siding is divided into two types:

· Herringbone - single profile

· "Ship board" - double profile

Regardless of which profile you choose, this does not affect the quality of the structure. Your choice will depend only on the taste. Siding is very easy to install, so it is possible to do the finishing work yourself.

From what will the siding finish the wooden house? Of course, with the dismantling of the old facade of the house. It is necessary to remove everything that can interfere with the presence of its finishing works. Therefore, we remove the shutters, doors, metal grilles, drainage system and platbands. Now we have bare external walls.

The next stage will be sealing all kinds of cracks on the walls or next to windows and doors. During installation, it is already impossible to carry out such work. A small repair of the exterior walls will only benefit. After all, siding keeps within many years.

After the repair, a crate is installed, for which it is possible to use wooden bars, a galvanized steel profile or plastic. With the crate, the walls of the house are leveled. If your choice has stopped on wooden bars, then pre-treat them with an antiseptic. The walls of the house can be made of any material, and only the metal from the galvanized profile is used for finishing the basement floor.

To ensure unimpeded passage of air flow between the wall and siding, the crate is nailed strictly vertically in 40 centimeters steps. Finishing the siding of the wooden house will give you an excellent opportunity to insulate the walls. This will add to you the cost of insulation materials and the second layer of the battens, but it will save a lot on heating the house in the cold season. For insulation, mineral or glass wool, as well as polystyrene, can be used.

To build the siding, you do not need special skills. All you need is accuracy, a little patience and a screwdriver with self-tapping screws. You should carefully align the very first band. From this will depend on the correct attachment of the entire structure. On each strip there are perforated holes, through which self-tapping screws are screwed. Fixing the first panel, snap it into the lock the second strip and also fasten to the crate. So we collect the whole wall.

When securing the siding panel with a self-tapping screw, do not tighten it until it stops. Leave a few millimeters. This will allow the panels to walk freely when the street temperature changes and increase their service life.

Qualitatively carried out decoration of windows with siding will save you from blowing from under the window and fogging the windows. The decoration of the pediments with siding also requires special attention. The entire area of the exterior walls of the house must be completely covered. Any gap or error in the assembly will lead to the destruction of the wall of the house.

Carrying out all the works at the highest level will allow you to have a beautiful and easy-to-care house that will delight you for many years.
