Facades for a residential multi-storey building - a variety of types

Of the different approaches to arranging walls in recent years, ventilated facades have stood out the most. This concept is characterized by the principle itself: the cladding is installed at a certain distance from the wall, and a heat-insulating layer is laid between the outer covering and the wall.

What is a facade

In addition, facades for residential multi-storey buildings provide air gaps. That’s why facades are called ventilated, as they create spaces accessible to air. Such ventilation can protect buildings from dampness, and thermal insulation insulates facades in Tver for residential high-rise buildings and protects them from heat in summer. Often new multi-storey buildings are clad with ventilated facades, since the design takes into account the thermal insulation properties systems But, according to experts, if the walls of old houses have unevenness or defects, then it will be quite possible to insulate it with the help of ventilated facades for multi-storey buildings.

Ventilated facades for residential multi-storey buildings consist of three elements.

The entire structure is supported on hanging metal frames, which are made of of stainless steel or from aluminum profile. Constructions metal gratings façade systems may be different. The frame, which is attached to the wall, has two main functions. WITH outside the outer cladding of the building is applied to it, and a thermal insulation layer is applied inside, as well as a waterproof windproof film. The customer needs to determine what exactly the façade for a multi-storey residential building will be made of, and professionals from special companies can take care of the rest.

The choice of facades for residential multi-storey buildings nowadays is quite large: ceramic and stone tiles, porcelain tiles, fiber cement and asbestos cement slabs, siding and others.

Facing the facades of residential multi-storey buildings with fiber cement is the best option for use in residential construction standard houses. Due to high wear resistance Fiber cement can save money on the restoration of a multi-storey residential building, and due to its impact resistance, protect the facade from the negative effects of natural and mechanical factors.

Porcelain stoneware used for finishing the facade of residential multi-storey buildings is a universal facing material, which is widely used in all types of construction, in particular in multi-storey construction. In the finishing and construction of multi-storey residential buildings, they are subject to special requirements, the most important of which is fire safety.

Porcelain tile is a non-flammable material and environmentally friendly and natural raw materials are used in its production. The uniformity of the patterns, as well as the geometrically correct edges of porcelain stoneware, make the work of installers easier and allow work to be carried out in a short time and in almost any weather conditions. The remarkable performance properties of porcelain stoneware include resistance to temperature changes, durability and resistance to stains.

Some people wonder what is the facade of a building? What is its definition? This is the front side of the building, located outside.

The concept of “facade” has another meaning: it is a drawing of an orthogonal projection of a building. The projection is carried out onto a vertical plane.

Front side meets different types, which largely depends on its shape, proportions, and architecture. According to Wikipedia, the following varieties are distinguished:

• main;
• side;
• rear;
• street;
• yard

Varieties

The front side of the building is called the facade; it is where guests are greeted. But it should be borne in mind that other sides of the building are also facades. However, they are not front, but side, back, and so on. All of them are divided by design features:

1. Stone, brick.
2. Concrete, monolithic.
3. Translucent.
4. Hinged ventilated structures. They differ in cladding. The cladding can be made of: porcelain stoneware, aluminum panels, fiber cement, metal cassettes, siding, blockhouse, decorative boards, stainless steel.
5. Media façade. This is the most modern variety front side of the building. IN in this case screens are installed. Together, these screens form a video image. As a result, the front side of the building looks like one large screen. It looks very fashionable and modern.

To beautifully decorate the main side, some professionals advise using stucco and tiles. You can use ordinary plaster or paint.

Front façade: materials for decoration

In order to issue main view buildings, the following materials are used:

• stone;
• siding;
• panel;
• plaster;
• brick for cladding.

What is most commonly used

Stones are often used to finish the front side. Can be used both natural and artificial stones. The most popular natural stones are:

• marble;
• limestone;
• granite;
• gabbro

Artificial stones are very popular. Architectural concrete is in particular demand. It is also called “white stone”. From " white stone» you can create decorative elements for windows and doors, as well as hanging panels.

Such a design can be quite long (several square meters). Moreover, the thickness of the “white stone” is small and is about 10 cm.

What is siding?

Siding is a material for cladding a building. The material is presented in the form of horizontally arranged panels. They are fastened together directly on the wall of the building. Siding is a very versatile and attractive cladding element:

1. With the help of siding you can achieve variety in creating shapes.
2. It is very easy to operate.
3. It can be made from a wide variety of different materials.

Types of siding

1. Made from vinyl. Siding made from this material is quite strong, durable, and practical. The building becomes attractive due to the brilliant properties of the material.
2. Made from polystyrene foam. The heat transfer of the building decreases. This is of great importance for buildings located in harsh climatic zones. The advantages of foam plastic siding are also an increase in the vapor permeability of the building; moisture does not accumulate on the walls.
3. Made of metal. It is the metal finishing that will add durability and resistance to adverse environmental factors to the building.
4. Of steel.
5. Made of wood. The main façade with such finishing looks aesthetically pleasing and provides excellent thermal protection for the building.
6. Made from cement.

Thanks to all these advantages, siding is gradually replacing many of the listed materials (in particular, plaster).

Plaster, as a material for cladding the outer part of a building, is also used very often and tries not to lose its position. The following types of plaster have been developed: mineral, polymer, mosaic, structural, pebble.

The main side should look attractive, since it is the “face” of the building.

Main facade: types of structures

What is included in the definition of façade can be understood and found out by studying the information.

All types of main types of buildings and structures are subject to two basic requirements:

1. Protection of the structure from external factors.
2. Aesthetic effect.

He can be:

The “dry” type of facade systems is manufactured without the use of adhesive bases and special mortars. Thus, any part is attached using nails, screws and other elements. An example of dry facades is siding.

“Wet” facades are installed using a building mixture. Examples are: plaster, clinker tile finishing (an adhesive base is required to secure it) and others.

What is needed for this type

Available to a wide range of buyers. It consists of the following layers:

1. Insulation (this is the inner layer).
2. Fiberglass mesh. With its help, installers strengthen walls.
3. Decorative plaster. It comes in any shape and color.

For manufacturing you will not need complex circuits and all kinds of aluminum fasteners, tiles and ceramic bricks, and the insulation can be simply reinforced using mesh and bolts. But there is also a small nuance - such a system cannot be installed at temperatures below +5 °C.

A huge advantage is that installation can be carried out regardless of the time of year and weather conditions. A “wet” facade gives the building integrity, but it directly depends on weather conditions and climate.

Additional classification

Today, the division of this building material into the following types is known:

The technology of ventilated systems is based on the formation of a gap for ventilation, which is located between the wall and the facade material.

Air begins to circulate freely in the gap, thanks to which moisture and dampness evaporate. And the material itself qualitatively protects the floors of premises from all kinds of atmospheric influences.

What does the ventilation façade consist of?

This type should consist of three layers:

1. Mineral insulation (it is located on the inside.
2. Air gap (this is the middle layer).
3. Facing part (outer layer).

   What is a building façade according to the law?

   Most often, the outside is covered with ceramic tiles. It looks neat and has a lot of colors.

Ventilated facades and other systems containing aluminum are not cheap. The main point in this case is the price-quality ratio.

An unventilated facade is used when the building does not have external insulation. If the facade needs to be installed on a wooden building, then it is better to use a ventilated system, since wooden walls stand out on their own a large number of moisture. If you do not get rid of moisture accumulation, then wooden house It will simply start to rot.

It would seem that the question is about the status external walls MKD has been resolved at least in the context of disputes about the placement of various advertising structures and signs on the facades of houses, about the installation of air conditioners, etc. In order to place such objects, the consent of the owners of the premises in the apartment building is required, since we are talking about the use of common property. However, when analyzing arbitration practice in considering disputes about the transfer of residential premises to non-residential premises, the author discovered two judicial acts from one district, which state that the external walls of a house, which are not load-bearing structures, do not belong to common property. Let's see how justified such a conclusion is.

Background

Today, owners of residential premises in apartment buildings who want to transfer them to the non-residential category are experiencing serious difficulties, despite the fact that the very fact of transferring premises from one category to another does not require convening a general meeting and obtaining the consent of the owners in the prescribed manner to carry out such events.
The fact is that as a result of such a transfer, redevelopment (reconstruction) of the premises is inevitable in terms of organizing a separate entrance to non-residential premises(P.

Law building facade

2 tbsp. 22 Housing Code of the Russian Federation). This involves at least dismantling part of the outer wall of the MKD, increasing doorways, converting window openings into door openings and using the local area to place a porch.
Most often, owners who transfer premises from residential to non-residential do not ask their neighbors’ permission for this, but approve the redevelopment (reconstruction) project and implement it, sometimes even with the knowledge of the controlling body - the local administration. If officials missed the fact that the redevelopment was not agreed upon at the general meeting and issued the appropriate permit, the owners themselves or the HOA have the right to challenge it. This is confirmed, for example, in the Resolutions of the FAS Eastern Military District dated November 27, 2013 in case No. A39-5016/2012, the FAS SZO dated December 25, 2013 in case No. A56-68305/2011, or the FAS Moscow Region Resolution dated October 28, 2013 in case No. A40- 173802/12-144-866<1>, where, among other things, it is clearly stated that, by virtue of paragraph 1 of Art. 36 Housing Code of the Russian Federation and paragraphs. "g" clause 2 of the Rules for the maintenance of common property external façade wall residential building, being in this case an enclosing non-load-bearing structure apartment building, refers to the common property of all owners of the premises, since it serves more than one residential premises as enclosing the entire residential building. In connection with this circumstance, actions to partially dismantle such a wall or add vestibules to it require the mandatory consent of the owners of the premises in the apartment building due to the requirements of clause 2 of Art. 40 Housing Code of the Russian Federation. The contents of this norm are given below.
———————————
<1>By ruling of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated January 27, 2014 N VAS-19786/13, the case was refused to be transferred to the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court for review.

“If the reconstruction, reorganization and (or) redevelopment of premises is impossible without attaching to them part of the common property in an apartment building, the consent of all owners of the premises in the apartment building must be obtained for such reconstruction, reorganization and (or) redevelopment of premises.”
At the same time, in paragraph 3 of Art. 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation is very clearly formulated that reducing the size of common property in an apartment building (which inevitably occurs as a result of reconstruction of residential premises with the addition of part of the common property) is possible only with the consent of all owners of premises in a given house.
But still, more often than not, local authorities themselves refuse to transfer applicants’ premises from residential to non-residential due to the lack of consent of the remaining owners of the premises in the apartment building (Resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Central District of March 19, 2013 in case No. A35-4762/2012<2>, FAS DVO dated November 19, 2012 N F03-5123/2012<3>, FAS VSO dated January 31, 2014 in case No. A33-3673/2013).
———————————
<2>By ruling of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated June 18, 2013 N VAS-7494/13, the case was refused to be transferred to the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court for review.
<3>By ruling of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated June 05, 2013 N VAS-3070/13, the case was refused to be transferred to the Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court for review.

However, there are judicial acts that contain other judgments. There are two of them and they were accepted by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the North-West Region.
Thus, in the Resolution dated May 13, 2013 in case No. A56-27235/2012, on the basis of expert opinion that outer wall a house in which a doorway is installed in place of a window due to the dismantling of the window sill space is not a load-bearing structure, the following conclusion was made: the outer wall is intended to serve only one living space, therefore the consent of all owners for its dismantling is not required. The Resolution of January 14, 2014 in case No. A56-14283/2013 demonstrates the same approach. Can it be considered correct? According to the author, no, and here's why.

Provisions of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation

According to Art. 36 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the owners of premises in an apartment building own, by the right of common shared ownership, the enclosing load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures of the given house. First of all, let us denote that a building envelope is a structure that performs the function of enclosing or separating volumes (rooms) of a building (GOST 30247.1-94 "Building structures. Test methods for fire resistance. Load-bearing and enclosing structures"<4>). Enclosing structures can combine the functions of load-bearing (including self-supporting) and enclosing structures.
———————————
<4>Introduced by Resolution of the Ministry of Construction of Russia dated March 23, 1995 N 18-26.

At the same time, load-bearing structures (elements) are structures that perceive permanent and temporary loads, including loads from other parts of the building. Self-supporting structures take the load only from their own weight.
Based on these definitions, it is clear why the belonging of load-bearing enclosing structures to the composition of common property is beyond doubt: according to their technical purpose, they perform a much more important role than servicing one room.
The functions of non-load-bearing enclosing structures are not so obvious, but they should be classified as common property not on the basis of “load-bearing/non-load-bearing”, but on the basis of “enclosing”. If we are talking about the external walls of the house, then it is obvious that they do not enclose separate rooms from each other, but the whole house, as rightly pointed out by the arbitrators of the FAS Moscow Region in the Resolution of October 28, 2013 in case No. A40-173802/12-144-866. It is this circumstance (and not technical specifications external walls) is key when deciding whether to classify this element of the house as common property.
At the same time, there should be no doubt about the correctness of what has been said, the content of the Letter of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated November 3, 2011 N OG-D23-1928: if the transfer of the disputed premises to non-residential premises involves the arrangement of a separate entrance by destroying part of the external wall of the apartment building, which is the enclosing load-bearing structure related to the general shared ownership, as well as the use of the local area when installing a separate entrance, entailing a change in the object and the mode of use of the part land plot occupied by an apartment building, relating to the common shared ownership of the owners of premises in this building, then the reconstruction planned for transfer to non-residential premises is allowed only with the consent of all owners of the common property of the apartment building.
The indication in this Letter that the enclosing load-bearing structures belong to the common property could be associated with a response to a specific request, an assessment of the specific circumstances of the case. This statement is not absolute and, of course, does not deny the possibility of classifying such non-load-bearing enclosing structures as the external walls of apartment buildings as part of the common property.

If a house has undergone reconstruction (redevelopment, refurbishment) of a living space, as a result of which part of the external wall of the house has been dismantled, the configuration of windows and doors has been changed, a porch has been equipped, and the owners of the premises in the apartment building have not given their consent to carry out this work, the latter have the right to declare violation of their rights, dismantling erected structures and returning part of the common property to its previous state. All changes to common property must be discussed collectively. It does not matter whether the external wall of the house that has been dismantled is load-bearing. The determining factor in classifying the structure of a house as common property in this case is the enclosing function of the walls, which provide spatial isolation of the entire house, rather than a separate room.

Exterior wall decoration is an important part of the design of any building. After all, the facade of the house is business card owners. It reflects their preferences and forms the first impression of the home as a whole. External finishing, in addition to being decorative, also serves as insulation and also plays the role of protection. load-bearing walls from the effects of temperature changes and natural precipitation. In this article you will learn how to decorate the facade of a private house.

Nowadays there is a huge amount building materials, which can be used for exterior decoration of the building. Before you begin work on decorating external walls, you need to carefully study the positive and negative qualities of all finishing materials and decide what final result you plan to get.

The exterior decoration of a private house also depends on design solution interiors - it is necessary that there is harmony between them. Only then will the house look not just like a structure made of stone and concrete, but comfortable and cozy home, in which you want, as they say, to live, live and make good.

In addition, the choice of finishing material is influenced by:

• selected façade design style;
• climate;
• budget for construction work.

What materials are there for exterior home decoration?

A modern facade is usually finished with artificial or natural stone, brick, vinyl or metal siding, porcelain stoneware, plastic or wood panels, plaster.

Wood paneling

Wood is considered an excellent thermal insulator, environmentally safe material. Most often, oak, cedar, and pine are used to make wooden panels.

Note! Kitchen in a private house - 100 photos of design and layout ideas

The positive aspects of wood are its strength and resistance to precipitation. The disadvantages include the need special care: wood must be treated every year with special compounds to protect against pests.

Cladding with metal panels

Metal panels are one of the most practical cladding materials for exterior walls of buildings. They are usually made of steel or aluminum. Metal panels have a long service life and do not require any special care.

The design of a facade with such cladding looks stylish and beautiful, especially if it includes wooden or stone finishing elements.

Decoration with vinyl panels

Vinyl siding does not require any maintenance. Photographs of the facades of private houses show that it can be used for cladding any buildings, regardless of their type. It is affordable.

Another advantage is its diversity color solutions and stylistics (it can be stylized as stone, wood). Vinyl also has good thermal insulation, but is less impact resistant than wood and metal.

Brick cladding

Brick is a unique finishing material. With its help, you can create different patterns, and it also gives the entire structure a cozy look. In addition, its advantages include:

• ease;
• durability;
• no need for special care;
• ease of installation;
• excellent thermal insulation properties.

The disadvantage is the high cost.

Finishing with natural or artificial stone

Just like brick, stone is the most expensive facing material. In addition to significant financial investments, it requires serious efforts. Stone cladding is a rather complicated and time-consuming process. As a result, buildings are usually only partially finished with stone.

But such design of facades gives a private house a particularly chic and representative look. Such a building will have a higher value upon subsequent sale.

Concrete finishing

In Western Europe, the popularity of cladding external walls with concrete is only growing every day. You can expect this to happen soon fashion trend will reach our country.

Finishing with plaster can be done by anyone. A plastered facade can have a rather beautiful appearance, especially if textured plaster is used. Speaking about the qualities of this coating, it is durable and weather-resistant.

Finishing with other facade panels

In addition to panels made of wood, metal, vinyl, panels from:

• Fiber cement. They are resistant to frost, lightweight, and durable. Another advantage is the variety of texture solutions. The downside is the high cost. The fastening is carried out on a metal frame.
• Foam plastic. The peculiarity of such panels is the presence of a reinforced layer of plaster and the absence of the need to install a frame. The disadvantages include the impossibility of attaching them to facades wooden buildings– this can lead to rotting of the tree.
• Glass. Glass panels are made from special impact-resistant glass. They have good heat and sound insulation properties. The disadvantage is the high cost of the material and significant costs during its installation.

Cladding external walls with sandwich panels

A sandwich panel consists of two sheets of metal with a layer of insulation and a vapor barrier between them. Pros: light weight, ease of installation, excellent thermal insulation, durability, moisture resistance, fire resistance.

If the top layer is damaged, the panel can be easily restored, without the need to replace most of the facade. The disadvantage is that such material is not cheap.

Covering the external walls of the house with siding

This is probably the most common and a budget option facade finishing. Siding can be installed on both insulated walls and walls without insulation. This facing material is used to hide facade defects. It is moisture resistant and comes in a variety of textures and colors. Vinyl, metal, wood, and cement can be used to make it.

The ideal cladding is the one that best protects the load-bearing structures of the house from various types of precipitation. This is the most important point, which you should pay attention to when choosing facade cladding.

Of all the finishing materials that meet this requirement, choose the one that is easiest to install and further care, which has the best thermal insulation and moisture-repellent properties.

Decorative plaster in facade design

The most popular method of leveling and decorating walls is facade plaster. The main advantage of this type of finishing is that the mills can be “decorated” with any colors and combinations. And if you get tired of the facade design, you can repaint or update it.

The facade of the building is the face of the entire structure. That is why, after construction, the façade of a multi-storey building is increasingly being finished. This allows not only to give the building an aesthetic appearance, for example, to an ordinary five-story panel building, but also to additionally insulate it.

To spend exterior finishing high-rise buildings, specialized personnel will be required. Industrial climbers are teams of workers who undergo special training and receive permission to work at heights.

Their equipment includes all the necessary equipment: winches, hooks and lifts, all this will allow for high-quality finishing in a short time.

Finish options

Multi-storey buildings can be divided into two groups according to the finishing method:

1. Residential multi-storey building. As a rule, a certain material is selected for finishing and an agreement is drawn up with the workers.
2. Mixed type residential building. This is when shops and offices are located on the ground floors. For such buildings you need individual approach in the choice of material, because finishing the lower floors will require completely different equipment and materials.

The modern market offers various materials for finishing multi-storey buildings. First of all, when choosing a material, you need to consider the following factors:

1. Features of the high-rise design.
2. Functionality of the material.
3. Climatic conditions.

Note! As a rule, it is climatic factor has the greatest influence on the choice of material, because many finishing options can not only give the building an aesthetic appearance, but also additionally insulate it.

The finishing received this name because the material used for finishing contains liquid. Simply put, finishing is done using plaster, and water is used to dilute the mixture.

Wet-type facade systems can be of three designs:

1. Plastered facades based on mineral thermal insulation material. In this option, insulation is used mineral wool, which is attached to the reinforcing layer. After finishing the building is subject to finishing mineral or silicate plaster.
2. Organic facade systems. Here, polystyrene foam board is used as insulation, which is also mounted on a reinforcing layer. And finishing is done with silicone or organic plaster.
3. Combined facades. These systems use any type of insulation, and organic material is used for finishing.

Ventilated facades

Such systems also create good thermal insulation, and the facades of multi-storey buildings finished in this way acquire an individual look.

Today, such facades are used to decorate any building. The assembly technology is carried out as follows.

1. First, a metal frame is mounted over the entire surface.
2. Insulation is placed between it.
3. The final stage is installation of the top screen.

Note! This option is good because when installing the facade, an air gap remains between the building wall and the finishing coating, which serves as good ventilation. Thanks to this, the walls do not get wet and fungus does not grow on them.

Advantages of ventilated facades

Ventilated facades have many positive aspects.

Thermal insulation

The use of insulation allows you to save on heating costs, as well as reduce the load-bearing load of the walls, due to a decrease in the thickness of the brickwork.

Weatherproof

The design of the facade is designed in such a way that moisture falling on the walls is removed through drainage, bypassing the walls and insulation material. In the same time windproof membrane installed inside the façade, prevents fibers from weathering.

Fire safety and sound insulation

The materials used to construct ventilated facades prevent the spread of fire. And the sound-absorbing properties of the system double the sound insulation of concrete walls.

A ventilated facade can be made of different materials.

Materials

When finishing a multi-storey building with a ventilated facade system, several types of materials are used:

1. Aluminum panel. This material is good due to its anti-corrosion qualities, durability, and given its light weight, it can be mounted on the surface of any structure.
2. Vinyl siding. It is very convenient to use panels of this material to cover the facades of two-story buildings, as well as the external ceilings of high-rise buildings. Its service life is up to 50 years. Aluminum panels are superior to vinyl panels in terms of strength, but the main argument of vinyl panels is their low cost; moreover, like the first option, it provides reliable insulation to the insulation.
3. Composite façade panels. This is an unpretentious material, it is durable, easy to care for and has a neat appearance. In addition to the listed materials, marble or porcelain stoneware are used for the finishing coating of ventilated facades. This, of course, is in its own way beautiful material, but given the heavy weight, before carrying out such cladding you will have to take care of constructing a reinforced supporting structure.
4. Glass facade. This type of finishing is only gaining popularity in Russia, and is considered one of the most promising areas. Such facades are constructed from slabs of high-strength glass, which are mounted on a metal frame.

Modern technologies make it possible to significantly transform any high-rise building and additionally provide protection for load-bearing structures.
