Lining of the house - business card of the owner

Facing the house is not just a time-consuming and difficult part of construction work. This is the final touch that will give the house its own face, allow it to fit into the landscape or, on the contrary, stand out against its background. Facing the house first give The idea of the owner, his status and character, preferences and virtues.

That is why it is so important to be creative in approaching the final construction process without violating the rules and regulations, the observance of which will allow the house to survive very, very long.

Facing the facades of buildings can be different: there are many materials today. Vinyl and aluminum siding, wild or artificial stone, natural wood or brick will help to give the house a durability and that "appearance" that will be pleasant to the owner.

Each facing material has its own characteristics, which must be taken into account when performing finishing works.

Today, let's talk about what is important to keep in mind, intending to impose a brick on a wooden or adobe house.

Facing a house with a brick, above all, assumes the existence of a good foundation. Brick - the material is heavy, it significantly increases the weight of the building. A light foundation that is not designed for a large building weight can crack, and as a result, the house will simply collapse.

It is important to observe the width of the basement at the base. If this socle is less than 13.5 cm, the cladding of the house with brick (or stone) is impractical. Why? Because the facing brick should lie on the basement of the basement, and the facing is done in half of the brick, which is 13 cm. Half a centimeter will insure possible irregularities.

Sometimes, with a very narrow basement, the lining of the house is a quarter of a brick. This means that the bricks are placed on the edge.

Working with a brick, it is important to choose the composition of the building mix. The main rule is not to save! The solution should consist of a piece of cement of the highest grade (best of all "500"), two pieces of lime mixed in water to a dough condition, and 7-8 parts of sand.

The lining of the house should not be closely adjacent to the supporting wall. Between it and the brick should remain 3-4 centimeters for normal ventilation. If necessary, the brickwork can be attached to the main wall with steel zinced clamps or nails. One end of the clamp or nail is driven into the supporting wall, the second is immersed 7 or 8 centimeters into the masonry. So the strength of the cladding will be guaranteed.

For ventilation between the lining and the wall to be level, you can use wooden bars 40x40. They are stuffed on the wall of a wooden or adobe house, which is bricked.

When preparing to revet the house, it is necessary to plan in advance the paper on the paper, the direction in which the bricks will be laid. The facing of the walls should not be continuous. It can not be brought to the ledge up to the ledge, but at the bottom it is necessary to leave a few holes for ventilation. At the end of the work, it is best to close them with a metal mesh.

If the use of several types of this material is meant, it is necessary to calculate how much, what kind of brick it will take.

The brick can be faced not only with facades, but with a part of the walls inside the premises. This can give the interior piquancy or brutality, it is advantageous to single out one of their walls against the background of the others.
