Sheathing of the house with profiled sheeting

The technology of finishing the exterior walls of the building has recently made a big step forward. Thanks to various new materials, it is now possible to fabricate the facade of a building of any configuration, achieving excellent energy efficiency and lifetime of the structure. Recently, ventilated facades are very popular.

Features of

sheathing The essence of this technology lies in the fact that betweenthe wall of the building and the external finishing material leave an air gap. Thanks to it, the thermal conductivity of the house is significantly reduced, which makes it more comfortable for living, and, most importantly, energy-efficient. The air layer prevents condensation on the surface of the wall or insulation, which, in turn, protects the walls from fungus and dampness. This is especially important for wooden houses, for which excess moisture is fatal. It is worth noting that the ventilated facades look pretty attractive, and can refresh the appearance of any, even the oldest and dilapidated building. Due to their technical characteristics, they became popular in the construction of technological and industrial buildings.

One of the most popular materials for installation of ventilated facades is profiled sheeting. It is a galvanized sheet of steel, which is rolled in a special way, so it becomes wavy. Initially, this material was used to mount the roof instead of asbestos shafer, as it had much less weight and better performance. Then, the fine properties of the profiled sheet were used for finishing the houses.

Marking of corrugated board

In order to correctly choose the corrugated board for finishing the house, it is necessary to understand the marking of this material.

The first parameter in the marking of the corrugated board indicates its purpose. For the installation of a ventilated facade, a wall profiled sheeting is required, which is indicated by the letter "C".Further, the labeling of the sheet indicates the height of the wave, the width of the sheet and the thickness of the steel. That is, the marking С8 1150 0,6 means that before you is a sheet of wall profiled sheeting 1150 mm wide, with a steel thickness of 0.6 mm and a wave height of 8 mm. For the decoration of the walls of the building, as a rule, sheets of grades С8, С21, С44 are used.

Most manufacturers make a special painting of the product, which improves the performance. According to experts, the facade, mounted from the corrugated board, with the endurance of the installation technology, can easily serve for more than 50 years.

Advantages and disadvantages of sheathing with profiled sheeting

To positive aspects of the use of corrugated board as the finishing of the external walls of the house it is necessary to refer:

1. Long service life of the material. Profiled sheeting does not require much attention. It is easy to clean, keeping its appearance for a long period of time. In addition, you can easily change the color of the facade, simply repainting it.
2. Fast installation. Unlike plaster, finishing the house using vented facade technology takes much less time, with the best result, especially if professionals do that who know how to coat the house with a profiled sheet.
3. Energy Efficiency. Due to the air layer, such walls perfectly maintain the temperature, which saves money, in the summer - on air conditioning, and in winter on heating.
4. Due to the design of the ventilated facade, it is possible to strengthen the walls of the building, which is especially important for old buildings made of wood and brick.

From the weaknesses of this technology is worth noting the cost of the material itself. In addition to the corrugated board, you will need to purchase guides for the facade design, fasteners, insulation( mineral wool), and waterproofing material that will protect the insulation

. Work stages

The lining of the house with profiled sheeting is best entrusted to specialists, although the production of these works does not require any special knowledge.

First of all, you need to estimate the amount of material that you need in view of fasteners and metal structures. Further, depending on the size of the sheet, you need to draw a drawing, in order to understand the location of the elements of the structure and specify the number of fasteners. In addition, you need to calculate the number of additional elements, which include: tides, parapets, cornices, corners, slopes and others.

Depending on the material from which the house is built, the technology of mounting the sheathing from the corrugated board will be different. Next, we will look at how to sew a house with profiled sheeting, depending on the material of the walls.

Sheathing of wooden house with corrugated board

Sheathing of wooden house with profiled sheeting is a rather popular technology in construction. With all the advantages of wood, as a building material, it is too susceptible to the influence of the external environment. The wooden building, which is not protected by the facing, has a service life of no more than 30 years, whereas houses covered with profiled sheeting, photos of which can be seen on specialized sites, serve twice as much.

It should be understood that the corrugated board is not attached directly to the tree, for its installation it is necessary to create an additional structure. This is the problem for wooden houses. The fact is that the structure together with the lining has a large weight, which causes a load on the structural elements of the house. Therefore, experts recommend for the plating of a wooden house to make a hotel frame. This will make it possible not only to reduce the load on the walls, but also to make them stronger.

The work is done in the following order:

1. The first step is to set up the frame. For its installation use metal structures that are attached to the walls with the help of special brackets, and to the base of the house( foundation).During installation with the help of a level, we check the verticality of the guides, otherwise it will be difficult to join the corrugated sheet when mounting the corrugated sheet. Depending on the thickness of the insulation, the rails should be installed at a distance from the wall so that after the installation of the corrugated board, there is an air layer between it and the heater.
2. Next we begin installation of heat insulation plates. To do this, it is better to use sheets of mineral wool. We fix them with dowels with washers of large diameter. Then cut it so that there are no big slits between them.
3. Then install the waterproofing on top of the heater. She must protect him from the external environment.
4. The last stage of the house is sheeting, video of the process can be found on the Internet, and install additional elements. There is no fundamental difference in how to fasten sheets: by waves horizontally or vertically. There are several design solutions, when the lining was carried out by a wave diagonally. However, such a sheathing technique is too heavy and it will be hard enough to make it with your own hands.
5. The corrugated board is fastened to the metalworking guides using special screws with a rubber washer. It prevents moisture from getting under the sheet. When drilling a hole, the varnish-and-lacquer coating of the corrugated board deteriorates, and so that it does not give way to corrosion, the place of attachment should be better painted. The additional elements must be fixed to the metal structure of the frame. Do not attach them to the sheet.

Decorating a brick house with corrugated board

Mounting of corrugated board on brick walls is carried out in the same manner. The only difference is that the design of the frame for the entire system does not put forward such requirements as when plating a wooden house. Also, brick has, in comparison with wood, not such good thermal conductivity, and if the brickwork of the house is made in "2 bricks", then the heater can be used.

Construction of buildings and houses from corrugated board

Thanks to the appearance of this excellent material, it became possible to build frame houses and structures. Their essence lies in the fact that the walls are erected in the form of a metal skeleton. To it from outside is fastened corrugated board, and from within - OSB plates. Inside, between the corrugated board and OSB, a layer of mineral wool is installed. Such buildings are quite warm, and, most importantly, they have a high speed of installation. In the construction of garages, sheds and other auxiliary premises, insulation can not be carried out.
