Facade tiles with fastening - a building material for the decoration of facades of buildings, imitating a variety of types of stone and brickwork. Facing is carried out on any surface: logs, foam blocks, bricks, frame structures, etc. This type of finishing was called "dry" lining, becauseWhen installing tiles, cement mortar is not used.
Facade tiles with fixing plates - mounting principles
Each tile with plates of galvanized steel is fixed to the pre-installed crate with screws and a screwdriver. It is very difficult to tear off the tiles fixed in this way, for this it is necessary to apply efforts equal to 200 kg.
On the other hand, such a tile can be quickly unscrewed and just as quickly put in place. If, for some reason, it is not possible to install the lathing, it is possible to make the lining with this material also on the solution, for this, the metal plates are bent perpendicular to the plane of the tile and immersed in the solution, which also creates additional bonds and serves to increase the reliability of the masonry.

Facade tiles with metal fittings are mounted only after a thorough leveling of the building and installation of the crate. The lath itself is fixed vertically, the distance between the rails should not exceed 50 cm.
As a guide, a wooden bar 50x50 mm, pretreated with an antiseptic or a zinc-plated profile( 27x60 mm) is used. On the perimeter of the building, below, it is necessary to install a metal corner, which will serve to align the first row of tiles. Mount the corner you need strictly in the horizontal plane, using the level.
Begin to mount the first tile on the left side onto the metal corner and secure it with two self-tapping screws screwed by the screwdriver. All subsequent tiles are fired with the left clamper for the previous tile and are attached to the screw. The whole construction is going to the tile to the tile, and each subsequent closes the fastening of the previous one.
When mounting corners, as well as door and window openings, special corner elements are used, produced by manufacturers for each kind of this material. The material is cut using a circular saw with a diamond wheel. To preserve the uniformity of the seam pattern, it is recommended that this material be trimmed from the right side.
If in the process of installation it is necessary to saw off the fixing plate, then using a drill in the tile, a hole is drilled, and it is attached to the screw through the hole already. After that, the hole in the tile is wiped with a special compound of a similar color.
Tile, facade, self-tapping, is the ideal solution for those who need to quickly, inexpensively and accurately give the building a very presentable look.
