Warming of the pediment - choose the material
The fronton is the completion of the end walls of the house, most often having the appearance of an isosceles triangle, the sides of which are adjacent to the roof, and the base is located above the facade cornice. A traditional gable roof traditionally has two gables. In view of the fact that its ends are the most blown and cold elements of each structure, it is necessary to perform warming of the pediment.
This process should be taken very seriously, so that the attic space does not turn out to be very cold in the winter, and in the summer it does not turn into a steam room. Mineral wool is the most common material for this purpose, which is wrapped on both sides in a waterproofing film. The process of insulation takes place inside the attic space.
As an option, decoration of the pediments is carried out using foam. Outside, the upper part of the facade is sewn with this type of insulation, then it is glued with a special mesh and plastered. If it is a wooden frame, then before you warm the gable from the inside, it must be sewed with a siding or a special board.
How to trim a pediment with a siding - choose the method of mounting
The siding of a gable with a siding will require the following tools and materials: a drill or a screwdriver, screws, a metal hacksaw, a jigsaw or Bulgarian, a spirit level, and scaffolds, since all work will be carried out at altitude. Now we will tell you about how to sew a gable with siding.
Before you begin, decide what to do with the gable, choose the color and texture of the material to fit the rest of your house's exterior. Also, it is necessary to calculate the area to be sewn: the quantity of necessary materials will depend on it. If the pediment has a triangular shape, then the calculation is as follows: the height of the triangle is multiplied by half its width.
Siding is mounted in three ways: on a prefabricated aluminum frame, on a wooden crate, or on the roof end material itself, if it is a wood truss system. The first method is quite expensive and time consuming, the second method is suitable for brick or made of foam blocks, the third option is the most optimal one.
How to sew a pediment - an instruction for the successful work of
For a crate you will need flat wooden bars that are packed over the whole surface of the surface to be sewn with a step of at least 35 cm. They must be in the same plane and level. If at least one bar will perform, it will not be possible to properly cover the structure.
Before you trim the pediment with a siding, it is necessary to screw the plastic guides along its edges, which will not only set the direction, but also hide the uneven edges of the panels.
First it is required to fix the starting strip on the width of the entire area horizontally, screwing it with screws to each bar of the crate. After that, you can mount the first siding line, the groove of which snaps into place on the spike of the starting bar.
The ends of each sheet must be cut at an angle, which should correspond to the slope of the roof. Panels need to snap along the entire length to avoid skewing, which will complicate the installation of the next line. Between the guide and the end of the strip you need to leave a small gap, so that the siding does not crack from the temperature drops.
The upper edge of each strip is screwed with screws to the adjacent bar. This way all the lines are mounted to the very top. Finishing the gable of the house with siding does not require any professional skills, the main thing is to correctly observe the installation technology.
