Siding the house with a siding is not such a complicated undertaking, it can be carried out by any owner, although, of course, it will be necessary to spend some time on it and acquire some skills. My recommendations will help you not only to think in advance of all the stages of the work being done, but also to make the purchase of the necessary materials so that your siding at home with the siding becomes as simple as possible.
Based on the type of structure you have, and also the seasonality of living in it, two variants of siding are highlighted. The first - with the use of insulation materials, and the second - without them. It is clear that for a building with year-round living it is just necessary to use a heater, but for the option of temporary residence, for example, cottages, there is no sense to spend extra expenses for insulation material.
Siding the house siding is from the bottom (socle) in the direction of the roof. To date, the market offers a wide selection of material for plinth lining. These are special socle siding panels, which can be with different textures, such as wild or decorative stones. It is allowed to cover the whole house with a socle siding, this will give the impression of a stone house.
To obtain the best result, the siding with its own hands is executed on an exceptionally flat plane, otherwise the strips will be made in the form of a wave and bumps. To make a flat plane it is possible by means of a patch of vertical crates from a bar, in the most "difficult" places, and also in places of apertures for doors, windows - a badge of horizontal grids. The thickness of the bars for the guides depends on the level of the surface level changes and can be from 20 to 50 mm. Fastening of bars is carried out with an interval from 30 to 40 cm.
Further covering of the house with siding is carried out in several stages. The first is fixing the starting, angular and joining profiles. The second is the fastening through the decorative bars of the connecting profiles, which is carried out either overlapping or butt-end. One strip of siding, on average, has a length of 3.6 - 3.7 meters, if you use a socle siding, then its length is one meter and it is fastened with a butt by means of a special hole. To close the upper end panel a special finishing strip is used, and, as an option, there can be a decorative universal profile. In any case, it is necessary to study in detail the installation manual of a particular kind of siding, which is attached when buying it.
The siding of the house with siding has different opinions, both "for" and "against". Let's leave these disputes, and in conclusion we'll talk a little about the advantage of finishing with siding. First of all, it is aesthetics. The structure has a fresh and beautiful appearance. In the second - is the lack of the need for periodic renovation of the facade (painting, varnishing, etc.). In the third - siding panels together with the finishing materials create the ideal protection of the structure from the environment.
