Wooden house for many individual developers is the most priority: it is environmentally friendly, it creates the most environment-friendly atmosphere, it quickly heats up and keeps heat well. But the wooden walls to protect against adverse effects, warmth and ornaments, often require a sheathing. Consider the options for choosing materials for plating outside the wooden house and for creating an exclusive exterior.
Requirements for cladding materials for the paneling of the house
When choosing the material for the facade cladding, you need to remember the basic requirements that it must satisfy:
- hygroscopicity and moisture absorption - should be minimal to prevent rotting and destruction of the house structure;
- air and vapor permeability - the ability to pass air and remove from the inside excess steam is an important requirement for the plating, because this directly depends on the atmosphere inside the house;
- thermal conductivity - the rate of heat transmission should be minimal to keep it in the house and reduce the cost of heating;
- refractoriness - an indication that the material is susceptible to burning should be high in order to minimize damage in the event of a fire;
- chemical resistance - resistance to aggressive chemicals;
- biological resistance - resistance to the effects of bacteria, insects, fungi;
- environmental friendliness - the material must be safe for humans;
- soundproofing is the ability to hold noise.
Materials for plating a wooden house
Facade brick
A wooden house encased in facade / facing brick( about the technology of masonry read here), looks very beautiful, modern, solid and reliable. It better preserves heat, it does not fear changes in humidity and temperature, but at the same time, the cladding of the house with a brick is quite a complicated and expensive business. To build new brick walls along the perimeter of the house, it is necessary to strengthen the foundation, and in fact, to build a new one, linking it with the old one. In addition, we will have to solve the problems of docking new walls with the roof.
Siding
The siding of the facade with siding is a modern, beautiful and inexpensive option for facing a wooden house. This building material is available, durable, fireproof. It is easily and quickly mounted.
Siding is vinyl and metal. Vinyl - light, durable and reliable material, it is not afraid of heat or frost, easy to clean and looks great. The richness of the color scheme makes it easy to find the right shade of color. Metal siding is slightly more expensive, heavier and looks a bit chilly, but also reliable and durable.
Lining
Wood as a skin allows to preserve the identity of the wooden house, its ecological compatibility and beauty. This material absorbs sounds well, keeps heat. The lining board for the house casing is very durable and durable. For biological protection and fire safety, the tree is impregnated with special compounds.
Simulation of the beam
This kind of skin is a board made of pine or spruce, which is laid in a horizontal position, with no visible intermediate grooves. A smooth and beautiful surface of the skin is achieved, which can be well combined with stone or metal.
Blockhouse
A kind of lining that does not come in a flat form, but in the form of convex panels. It looks like a casing, like a round log, giving the building a classic look of an old wooden house. A block house is made, mainly from coniferous woods: pine, spruce, etc.
