The correct exterior finish of the frame house, the photo of which you will find in this material, allows you to make the facade of your house not only attractive, but also significantly extends its service life.
Firstly, fiber cement panels do not burn at all and almost do not melt. This makes their use on a wooden frame especially relevant.
Secondly, fiber cement panels are much more durable. That allows you to operate them on the walls, along which there is an active movement of people or equipment. This characteristic is relevant for urban frame buildings, which often go directly to the street with their walls, without being enclosed by fences or fences.
The disadvantage of this material is its slightly higher weight compared to vinyl. However, subject to the fastening technology, there are no problems during the further operation of such facades.
DSP and LSU on the facade of a frame house
Board materials such as cement particle board and magnesium sheet can also be used on wood and metal framing. up to 16 mm are relatively light and can be mounted on external walls. LSU of comparable thickness can also be used for exterior finishing of the frame.
The biggest questions are the gaps between the plates, which cannot be covered over or painted over. A wooden or metal frame has a different degree of thermal expansion and contraction than DSP and LSU. For this reason, any putty or putty in the seams will sooner or later collapse and fall out.
The most common option for such cladding is the use of a half-timbered design, when the seams between the slabs are closed with decorative wooden overlays that imitate the outer frame of the building.
Metal on the facade of a frame house
- Metal facade cassettes.
- Decking and other sheet materials.
- Metal siding.
Every year, the textures for metal facade materials look more and more natural. If, for example, metal siding copies a log or timber, then from afar it is already difficult to distinguish the facade of a house from metal siding from natural.
However, it should be remembered when using metal facade materials on a wooden frame that the tree needs protection. Condensation will form on the inner surface of the metal. For this reason, a ventilation gap of at least 20 mm is organized between the wooden frame and the metal facade. The wooden frame itself and the insulation in it are protected by a waterproofing membrane that allows steam to pass out, but does not let moisture in.
Wood frame finish
The oldest and most interesting facade in terms of design. Sheathing the frame with wood - a board, dice or shingles - allows you to get interesting options for a country-style house.
The advantage of such a facade is its natural appearance. The downside of this type of facade finish will be the complexity of installation, and the need in the future to constantly treat wooden parts with protective compounds containing antiseptics and fire retardants.
Brick decorative facade of a frame house
The option of brick finishing a frame house can be implemented in two ways:
- Laying out a wall of decorative face brick in half a brick with connections to the main frame.
- Installation of decorative brick-like facade tiles on a base mounted on a frame.
It is worth remembering that for the first option you will need free space on the foundation outside at least 12 cm.
And for the second option, you will need load calculations, since the facade tile is a rather heavy material.
