SIDING

In recent years the Russian market of building materials takes pride of place siding. House, faced with siding, looks very elegant. Cheerful, light and easy siding - is a reliable material, which not only gives the house an attractive appearance, but also protects it from ultraviolet radiation, dampness. Siding protects the walls from rain and wind, rot and rust. Siding is simple to install and easy to clean, gives the house a decorative appearance recently on the Russian market of building materials takes pride of place siding. House, faced with siding, looks very elegant. Cheerful, light and easy siding - is a reliable material, which not only gives the house an attractive appearance, but also protects it from ultraviolet radiation, dampness. Siding protects the walls from rain and wind, rot and rust. Siding is simple to install and easy to clean, gives the house a decorative look. Siding - is a relatively new building material. In Russia, siding appeared in 90th years of last century and its popularity is growing. Today, as a suspended facades also use composite panels of wood fiber, cement, aluminum and steel siding. Metal siding One of the most common elements for a complex building finish is metal siding. Siding panels can be any color. They are equipped with a lock-latch and a perforated edge for the nails, so it is easy to gather in sections of any size. Metal siding has started on the Russian market is relatively recent, but has already become very popular. Compared with vinyl siding, he has several advantages: environmental, high strength characteristics, color fastness, durability, incombustibility; resistance to sudden temperature changes, improves the appearance of the facade, providing concealed fastener panels and accessories. For the manufacture of metal siding using hot-dip galvanized cold-rolled steel thickness of 0.5 mm with a decorative and protective coating. As such a coating is usually a polyester, plastisol. Metal siding panels placed horizontally and are attached to the vertical guide. Of course, it is possible and vertical installation, but in this case do not provide sufficient sealing of joints and junctions. Metal siding panels have standard size parameters: yashirina overall - 260 mm, width mounting - 230 mm Length - from 2000 to 6000 mm profile height - 14 mm, weight of 1 sq. m. - 5.43 kg. Easily metal siding can be mounted on their own and each individual builder. Additional items (internal and external corners, trim, etc.) can be performed in the same color as the main panel, or, on request, in a color contrasting to the color of the main panels. For the installation of metal siding, depending on the type of sheathing used self-tapping screws or stainless steel nails. Through the use of additional elements siding installation might draw the architectural detail of any complexity. Moreover, we can apply a variety of options for layout finishing metal siding. These elements are mounted: the angle of the outer, inner angle; connector plate. It is used to lengthen the decorative elements of the facade; initial rake, rake final; casing. Vinyl Siding Vinyl siding is profiled three-four-meter panel width from 10 to 50 cm Facing panels of vinyl siding made of PVC and have a matte surface that does not require additional painting. Quality vinyl siding depends largely on the additives in the vinyl, which gives it the necessary properties: color, strength, resistance to external influences and UV radiation, determine the behavior at high temperatures. Vinyl siding panel thickness of 1,5 mm is colored throughout the thickness of the board. Standard color palette includes 12 colors. The surface of the vinyl siding has a convex pattern that resembles the texture of wood, and requires no additional coloring. Material of construction of vinyl siding does not support combustion. This finishing material retains all the advantages of PVC: it is chemically inert, corrosion resistant, durable (lifetime warranty - up to 50 years), as well as relatively cheap, despite the complex manufacturing technology. Lack of vinyl siding - the instability to low temperatures, that is inherent in many polymers. However, due to constantly improving the production most of the PVC panels are already operating at a temperature of -50 to +50 ° C. The situation is similar to the color and fire: in the raw materials intended for the production of quality vinyl siding, adding special agents to the sustainability of the material to UV radiation and fire. Of course, chemically enhanced vinyl siding is more expensive than standard PVC lining. The most widely used vinyl siding in pastel tones, which is the optimum combination of consumer and visual qualities and prices. Available as vinyl siding saturated colors, which has excellent appearance, but the cost exceeds the analogue of pastel colors in 1,5-2 times. Such an increase in the cost associated with expensive additives used to reduce the effects of ultraviolet radiation. Installation of siding for a successful installation of the siding needed only minimal skills in dealing with hand tools. Easy to install siding and further care make it profitable for walls and reconstruction of old buildings. The principle of mounting siding allows you to fully carry out the external finish of the building, including podkarniznye surfaces and decorative items openings and corners. The main advantage of the siding is easy and quick installation. Installation of the siding done on a wooden crate, the joints are made by overlapping or H-profile. At the corners of panel joints close to internal or external corner. All joints and cuts are closed using suitable accessories. In siding installation is easy. First assembled crate, which in 30-40 cm apart are attached to the wall rack, made of square-edged boards are three to four inches wide. Their record at a right angle to the siding, that is if the straps will be mounted horizontally (most often they are placed just so, though possible, and vertical siding installation), crate should be vertical. The most important stage of editing the siding - installation of the auxiliary starting bands: where siding laid horizontally, its located at the bottom and level on the perimeter of the building. Installing support structures, assembled main panels: the bottom edge is inserted into the lock starter strip and nailed to the upper wall of steel, aluminum or galvanized nails with a wide, about a centimeter in diameter, cap. Nails centered on the slits at a distance of 400-500 mm (with considerable wind load it is reduced to 200-250 mm). When installing siding panels have freely and without tension, overlapping joints lapped, so that later they do not box. To install the top row to the wall to the ledge nailed the final profile, the last panel is cut to the desired width, squeeze on it with a punch ears and moved in the final profile. Materials for the manufacture of siding for the manufacture of hinged facades are widely used steel and aluminum. Since the metal surface covered with plastic sheeting or paint that looks metallic and polymeric siding differ little from each other. However, compared with a vinyl lining steel and aluminum panels are more durable (lifetime of 20-50 years), durable, heat and flame. That's why metal siding trim of the building in which there are a variety of production or services associated with increased risk, such as gas stations. Due to the high cost of private construction steel and aluminum siding is used infrequently. Recently, the market appeared wooden and cement siding. In the production of wood panels use a modified wood fibers, dyes and binders. Unfortunately, this material is flammable and less resistant to adverse external factors rather than, say, vinyl siding. Warranty period for wooden hinged facades of 15-20 years. Cement siding made from cement mixtures reinforced cellulose fiber, with its surface trim wood or covered with acrylic paint. Cement siding is durable, resistant to temperature and is chemically inert, its service life - 50 years. Cement and cellulose panels weighed in three to four times more than PVC panel, so their installation requires a massive crate. Impeccable quality facade coatings can be guaranteed only under the following basic rules of installation of siding, providing compensation for thermal expansion of material: not fastened siding panel vnatyag relative to each other, never nailed panels and accessories to the surfaces tight - they should have some degree of respect for the fixture by longitudinal cutouts attached; nail only through cuts, and never through the plane elements in the expansion joints of siding panels and accessories leave a gap of at least 5 mm.
