Correct exterior finish frame house, a 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. This allows them to be used on walls along which there is active movement of people or equipment. This characteristic is relevant for urban frame buildings, which often face the street directly with their walls, without being enclosed by fences or fences.

The downside of this material is its slightly heavier weight compared to vinyl. However, if the fastening technology is followed, no problems arise during the further operation of such facades.

DSP and SML on the facade of a frame house

Panel materials such as cement bonded particle board and magnesium sheet can also be used on wood and metal frames. up to 16 mm are relatively lightweight 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 caused by the gaps between the slabs, which cannot be covered 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 covered with decorative wooden overlays that imitate the outer frame of the building.

Metal on the facade of a frame house

1. Metal facade cassettes.
2. Corrugated sheets and other sheet materials.
3. Metal siding.

Every year, textures for metal facade materials look more and more natural. If, for example, metal siding copies a log or beam, then from a distance it can be difficult to distinguish the facade of a house made of metal siding from a natural one.

However, it should be remembered when using metal facade materials on a wooden frame that the wood needs protection. Condensation will form on the inner surface of the metal. For this reason, a ventilation gap of at least 20 mm is arranged between the wooden frame and the metal facade. The wooden frame itself and the insulation in it are protected waterproofing membrane, allowing steam to escape but not moisture to enter.

Wood frame trim

The oldest and most interesting facade from a design point of view. Covering the frame with wood - boards, dies or shingles - allows you to get interesting options country style houses.

The advantage of such a facade is its natural look. The disadvantage of this type facade finishing there will be labor-intensive 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

Option brick finishing frame house can be implemented in two ways:

1. Laying a wall of decorative face bricks in half a brick with connections to the main frame.
2. Installation of decorative facade tiles “like brick” on a base mounted on a frame.

It is worth remembering that for the first option you will need at least 12 cm of free space on the foundation outside.

And for the second option you will need load calculations, since facade tiles quite heavy material.

It would seem that the house has been built. However, it is not suitable for housing, as it still resembles an empty box. In order to give the room a residential and cozy look, it needs subsequent finishing, both external and internal. By her own interior decoration The construction of a frame house is divided into two stages: rough work and final finishing. Each of the stages is important in its own way and we will tell you about them in more detail.

What is meant by interior decoration?

Interior decoration of a house allows you to give the room not only a finished look, but also bring renovation or construction to its logical conclusion. Depending on the task at hand, the actions vary. For example, if renovations were carried out inside an already built room, then it is not necessary to carry out rough finishing work.

There are several rules that you should rely on if you want to do the interior decoration of your home yourself:

• The finishing of the room is carried out progressively as it progresses. It is not recommended to start finishing work in all rooms at once,
• if there are several rooms, then the repair first begins in the furthest from front door room,
• all finishing work is carried out after new communications, such as cable ducts, have been replaced or laid, water pipes and electrical cables,
• repairs are carried out “from top to bottom”: first, work is carried out on the ceiling, then finishing is carried out interior walls Houses. Next comes the floor. The exception is the case when a frame house is used stretch ceiling. In this case, the ceiling is attached last.
• It would be advisable to cover all areas of the room not involved in finishing with thick plastic film to protect surfaces from contamination and construction debris.

As a rule, the speed of finishing is also influenced by several factors:

• complexity of finishing the room,
• timely delivery of materials,
• budget,
• force majeure circumstances.

On average, interior decoration small house an area of ​​40 m2 can take a month, an area of ​​60 m2 already takes 1.5-2 months, and complex finishing multi-storey building will require 3 months of work. For the most part, the timing of the work depends on the qualifications of the invited construction team. Many companies offer projects frame houses already “turnkey”, while all work, from preparing the foundation to handing over the keys to the owners, takes no more than two months. If you want to carry out the finishing yourself, you must take into account that without the proper amount of free time, repairs can drag on for years. It is not for nothing that they say that “repairs do not end, they are suspended.”

Rough finishing of a house includes measures to prepare the surface of walls, floors and ceilings for finishing work. Such measures include removing old or poor-quality coatings, preparing and leveling surfaces, screeding floors and installing slopes on windows.

Finishing is the final stages finishing works when the walls and ceiling are painted or wallpapered, or finished with facing materials.

The use of natural wood lining will have a beneficial effect not only on the aesthetics of the interior, but also on the microclimate prevailing inside the room. Moreover, the combination of cedar and linden wood will reduce the frequency of headaches. Properly selected finishing materials will allow you to change the interior beyond recognition in the shortest possible time.

What materials are used?

The modern materials market offers many different solutions to suit every taste. Basically, it all depends on the allocated budget and personal preferences. For rough finishing, sheets of plasterboard and OSB are often used. Their advantage is that the flat surface of the sheet allows you to hide wall imperfections, such as:

• curved or untreated wall surface,
• the need to install an internal partition,
• implementation of complex design compositions,

These materials will allow you to quickly cover the internal walls and prepare them for further finishing and finishing work. The following materials are used for finishing:

• Wallpaper. The following varieties are available on the market:
  • traditional paper ones. They are distinguished by their low price, but at the same time they are often aesthetically unattractive, are not resistant to moisture and cold, and are short-lived. Good for wall coverings non-residential premises, or as a temporary solution,
  • vinyl varieties are characterized by increased strength and resistance to mechanical damage,
  • acrylic wallpaper is good for its moisture resistance and durability,
  • non-woven wallpaper made of foam vinyl is more often used as a base for applying decorative paint,
  • Fiberglass wallpaper is characterized by high fire safety and mechanical strength. Moreover, they are suitable for painting walls,
  • Photo wallpapers are notable for the fact that they allow you to recreate a kind of “living” corner inside the house.

• Ceramic tiles for cladding. It is good because it is characterized by high wear resistance and a high degree of decorativeness. At the same time, it requires a perfectly flat surface. It is advisable to mount it on drywall, or on a carefully leveled wall surface. The good thing about tiles is that there are many textured varieties on the market that perfectly imitate various surfaces: from brick to natural stone.

• Lining made of natural wood will give the room a natural look and home comfort. In addition, wood has high heat and sound insulation characteristics. Experts divide types of lining into categories based on the quality of the final product:
  • "Extra" grade denotes the product High Quality, no surface defects,
  • grade “A” allows for the presence of small darkened spots and chips in the lamellas,
  • grade “B” means that there are several knots and cracks on one lamella,
  • grade “C” is notable for its low price, while the wood slats often have surface defects such as cracks, knots, resin bags and dark spots.

On the other hand, when creating a vintage setting, such slats will give the room a more attractive antique look.

• Plastic lining is characterized by its low price and ease of installation. Plastic or PVC are not susceptible to biological activity, but at the same time they are not able to bring real comfort to the room. The artificiality of the material is immediately noticeable to the eye. Their heat and sound insulation characteristics are inferior to similar models made of natural wood, but the advantages of PVC for finishing have made the material so popular.

• Liquid wallpaper is a dry mixture of a binder and cotton or cellulose fibers. This type of wallpaper is successful in that it allows you to hide defects in the surface on which it was applied. In addition, due to its texture, liquid wallpaper is valuable for its decorative properties.

• Decorative plaster is known for its fire-resistant and mechanical properties. At the same time, it is easy to apply, and the final cost is not high.

• Magnesium glass sheets are a fairly new material. It consists of wood shavings, fiberglass mesh and chemical additives. This material is fire-resistant and moisture-resistant, while providing good adhesion to almost any applied material.

• Flexible stone combines all the advantages of natural stone, but at the same time has ductility and flexibility. This material is produced in the form of wallpaper and decorative slabs. It is characterized by ease of installation and wear resistance, along with high environmental friendliness and resistance to external factors.

Where does the interior decoration of a frame house begin?

Any work starts with preparatory stages. After all communication systems have been installed and laid, you must first decide on the location of sockets, switches and plumbing system outlets. Further work is carried out depending on the material used.

First you need to stock up on a tool that is in demand in any situation:

• roulette,
• putty knife,
• building level,

At the same time, it is also worth remembering that any work requires the proper degree of protection. Glasses with polycarbonate lenses will protect your eyes from construction particles, and good durable gloves will protect your hands from possible cuts.

Plasterboard finishing: features

Drywall is good because it allows you to hide all the unevenness of any surface. In this case, there is no need to perform labor-intensive leveling of the walls due to the fact that the plasterboard sheets are attached to a metal frame. The work itself on installing the sheets is carried out quickly.

At the same time, the material demonstrates another advantage: the free space between the sheet and the wall allows you to hide cable channels with electrical wiring there. Among other things, the low weight of plasterboard sheets does not create a significant load on the floors, and thanks to this, complex geometric structures are constructed, including even multi-level ceilings.

If frame house the inside is an unfurnished dwelling - then the decision to use plasterboard for interior decoration will be correct.

The installation of sheets itself is divided into several stages:

• starting UD profiles are attached along the intended line using self-tapping screws,
• the wiring is laid in special plastic boxes or corrugated flexible PVC pipes,

• free space, if necessary, is filled with insulation,
• sheets of plasterboard are laid on the profile and attached to it with metal screws. In this case, the head of the screw must be recessed at least 1 mm deep,
• The seams between the sheets are filled with putty. In this case, excess material is removed with a spatula and the seams are aligned,
• after this, using fine-grained sandpaper, all joints are sanded and the surface of the plasterboard sheet is ready for finishing and applying any selected material to it.

Finishing with OSB boards

The installation of such boards itself is not much different from the process of sheathing with plasterboard, with the only difference being that OSB boards have significantly more weight. Therefore, finishing a frame house with such material will require more durable and reliable fasteners.

When laying slabs, it is worth considering the following features:

• Spiral nails 50 mm long are used to fasten the boards to the wooden frame,
• at the joints, nails are driven in every 15 cm,
• Gaps of 1 cm should be left along the edges to the edge of the walls, the distance between slabs that do not have a connection should be no more than 2 mm,
• OSB sheets are laid on the floor perpendicular to the joists,

• After fastening, it is recommended to sand the surface of the slab using fine-grained sandpaper,
• It is also recommended to varnish the slabs in three layers, with careful and natural drying of each applied layer. This coating will protect the structure of the material from possible penetration of moisture,

If you plan to cover the surface of the OSB board with paint or plaster, then in this case you will need to prime it first.

Plaster and wallpaper for painting

Decorative plaster for interior decoration of a house, photos of which are provided below, is an excellent option. This material will hide wall defects and unevenness.

It is good because it is not afraid of moisture and does not absorb soot and odors, which is especially valuable for the kitchen. In addition, the plaster can be washed.

Paintable wallpaper is good because it allows you to completely change the interior over time, without resorting to significant expenses. To do this, it is enough to repaint them, covering them with a layer new paint old In addition, wallpaper for painting often has a texture, allowing you to create a uniform and seamless surface.

The gluing of such wallpaper itself is no different from gluing simple wallpaper, with the difference that after gluing the wallpaper you need to give it a day before applying paint to it.

Application of lining and imitation timber

Many types of lining are interesting because they are able to recreate a full-fledged imitation of wood, which is especially important for country houses. The presence of wood resins will allow the timber to maintain its durability and other properties.

At the same time, the price for such material is affordable and affordable even for small budgets. Especially if you purchase “C” grade lining, which, despite the defectiveness of the surface, will bring the interior country house vintage.

The price for high-quality lining starts from $8 for a lamella 4 m long and 10 cm wide.

Wood simulants are good for their environmental friendliness and durability. Thanks to the lining heat treatment does not crack over time and does not lose its quality. Therefore, this material will remain attractive for a long time in the eyes of many owners of country houses who have decided to carry out interior decoration with this particular material.

Exterior decoration is an important part construction work. It performs two roles - decorative and protective. Exterior finishing of a frame house requires a careful approach to the selection of materials, because they must withstand all negative factors environment. Therefore, it is important to identify the main criteria by which finishing materials will be evaluated, compare their parameters and choose the best one.

Main criteria

It is noteworthy that the decorative component of frame houses is far from the most important requirement. It is needed, but most of all you need to think about protecting the main structural elements from the influence of the external environment. In addition, thermal insulation qualities are valued.

In view of this, we will highlight several requirements for materials for cladding the external walls of a frame house, which are mandatory:

1. Hydrophobic, resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature fluctuations and wind load.
2. Strength characteristics at the highest level.
3. Wear resistance.
4. Good thermal insulation qualities.
5. The ability of the material to breathe, that is, to allow steam to pass through, so that an optimal microclimate is created in the room.
6. Beauty.

This material is considered ideal for home frame type, which meets most of the requirements. Having considered the popular finishing options, everyone will be able to compare them and choose the option for themselves.

Material selection

It is clear that ideal option no, therefore each of the products for cladding a house made according to frame technology, has advantages and disadvantages. Most of them are similar, have different prices and distinctive properties. We do not insist on one or another option for work, but provide statistics on the basis of which everyone makes their own choice.

Using OSB

Oriented strand boards are made from wood chips and shavings. Under special conditions they stick together. The main advantage of the products is that the layers on the outside are made of longitudinal fibers, and the layers on the inside are made of transverse fibers. The bonding agent for OSB is synthetic resins and wax. They make the sheathed frame-type structure protected from precipitation.

OSB is available in three main variations:

1. OSB of the first category is used only when the interior decoration of a frame house is needed. In the bathroom, kitchen and other rooms with high humidity they are not used.
2. OSB of the second category - used to create load-bearing structures in dry rooms.
3. OSB of the third category - boards protected from moisture penetration. They are quite rigid and are used to create internal and external load-bearing structures.

If you compare by price and quality, it is best to choose OSB-3. This OSB board Can be sanded, cut and drilled without problems. It is capable of holding a nail driven 50 mm from the end. If you finish the sheathing with moisture-resistant varnish or simply paint it, the frame structure will acquire a wonderful appearance.

Advantages of using OSB:

1. They have a dense structure, do not delaminate, do not split.
2. Elastic and durable. They are not afraid of vibrations, deformations and withstand compression well.
3. Withstands the negative influence of the street and temperature fluctuations.
4. OSB is resistant to biological microorganisms.

Disadvantages of OSB:

• low vapor permeability;
• no fire protection;
• toxic composition due to the presence of phenol and formaldehyde.

Wood and cement - CBPB

Cement particle boards are products made from wood lumber and M500 cement. Coniferous species are selected as wood. The slab has only three layers: the outer ones (2 pieces) are made of small-chip raw materials, the inner (central) is made of coarse-chip raw materials. In addition to these components, DSP sheets consist of hydration additives in an amount of no more than 3%. The main properties are long service life, immunity to moisture, strength, durability.

If you need to sheathe the frame of a house, then this great option for plating. Decorative plaster is applied on top or everything is processed paint and varnish materials. An even and smooth structure is formed on cement particle boards. Has frost resistance F50. This means that it can freeze and defrost exactly 50 times without losing its characteristics. At 51 times, strength decreases by about 10%.

Benefits of use:

1. Minimal hygroscopicity.
2. Resistance to fungal attack and mold.
3. The sheets will not be damaged by animals and termites.
4. It is natural and does not emit toxic substances.
5. Has low thermal conductivity. A good option if you need to insulate a frame house.
6. Unaffected by fire.

Disadvantages of DSP for a house made using frame technology:

• difficulties with machining;
• have impressive weight;
• During the cutting process, fine dust appears; the process is performed with a respirator;
• finishing the outside of a frame house using DSP will be expensive.

Conventional fiberboard

Fiberboards are somewhat reminiscent of CBPB, but of a slightly different type. These are products obtained by compression of lumber from coniferous trees. They are heated and pressed without using glue. Therefore, such options are environmentally friendly.

Important! Due to the presence of resins in coniferous wood, the material is protected from mold. It is known that resin is an antiseptic.

If you compare OSB and fiberboard, then the second option is not as durable as the first. Still, their advantage is the best insulation and soundproofing parameters.

Advantages of fiberboard for a frame house:

1. Easy to install.
2. The weight of the plate is minimal.
3. They have a low thermal conductivity coefficient.
4. It will not crumble or delaminate.
5. Vapor permeability.
6. Resistant to moisture and the influence of biological organisms.
7. Naturalness, environmental friendliness and safety.

Disadvantages of fiberboard for a frame house:

• high price;
• after some time without a protective layer, the fiberboard may become deformed;
• cladding on the outside is carried out in the presence of reinforcing jibs or if the interior is made of a rigid type of material.

Thermal panels

The panel is insulated and consists of two parts. On the outside there is a hard shell that serves as protection and plays a decorative role, and on the inside there is a layer thermal insulation material. One of the best options for a frame house. Most often, the façade of a frame house is finished using thermal panels with clinker tiles.

Advantages of thermal panels for finishing frame houses:

1. Excellent performance. They are not afraid of heat or frost, are resistant to mechanical influence, are not afraid of moisture and have good sound and heat insulation qualities.
2. Simple installation of the cladding. No wet work or mandatory above-zero temperatures.
3. Vapor permeable, walls and insulation breathe.
4. They have an attractive appearance.
5. They are light in weight.

Flaws:

• high price.

Gypsum fiber sheets (GVL)

Made from pressed gypsum, which is reinforced with cellulose fibers. High strength material, used as a load-bearing surface. Often found in the construction of frame houses.

Installation is performed or. The sheets are fixed to the racks using self-tapping screws. The product for a frame house is easy to drill, cut and install, despite its weight. Good base to use façade plaster.

Advantages for frame houses:

They have low hygroscopicity.

Vapor permeable.

They have no toxic substances and are harmless.

They are not afraid of fire.

They have excellent sound and heat insulation qualities.

Flaws:

• heavy weight;
• not ductile and brittle if the sheet is bent.

Brick tiles and natural materials

Exterior finishing of a frame house natural materials always appreciated. Brick tiles are no exception. It makes the structure solid and solid. And the load on the base does not increase much.

Advantages of tiles for a frame house:

1. Strength, inertness of chemical and biological type.
2. Protection from open fire and moisture.
3. Not afraid of temperature changes.
4. Weight color solutions, textures and shapes.

Flaws:

• complexity of the installation process. It takes a lot of time, effort and skill;
• depending on weather conditions: dry and warm.

Smart side for a frame house

The material for the facade is based on OSB of the fourth class. On the front side there is a relief structure, like a tree, and on the back side there is OSB category 4. The material received a lot of positive ratings due to its positive qualities:

1. No temperature ramp.
2. Easy to handle and install (via slats to sheathing).
3. Resistance to all external negative factors.
4. Attractive appearance imitating the texture of trees.

Flaws:

• requires painting after installation work;
• afraid of fire;
• Mold and rot may form if it gets wet regularly.

Plywood

Classic for frame houses. The material is made by gluing veneers from different wood species (birch and coniferous). Mechanical strength is determined by the arrangement of the sheets. They are laid perpendicular to each other with their fibers. The exterior of a frame house is covered with plywood using products with increased moisture resistance (FSF). Sheet thickness – 10 mm.

Advantages of plywood for frame houses:

1. Resistant to bending and compression.
2. High wear resistance and moisture resistance.
3. Easy to install and process.
4. Frost-resistant.

Flaws:

• does not resist open fire;
• contains formaldehyde resins;
• chips may appear.

Edged board

Its use can be called the best option in terms of savings. Wood is an environmentally friendly material that is easy to work with and affordable. Boards can be placed on the façade in any position: horizontally, vertically, at an angle. To save even more, the distance between the boards is increased to 30 cm, however, usually the cladding of a frame house is made solid. The building will strengthen the frame well and serve as the basis for creating a ventilated façade.

For reliability, wooden facades sheathed with boards, the thickness of which is 25 mm, no less. Boards for a frame house must be dry.

Benefits of use:

1. Easy to install material.
2. Ecological cleanliness. There are no harmful substances.
3. Excellent vapor permeability.
4. Easy to process.
5. Minimum amount of invested funds.

Flaws:

• the material burns;
• wood rots and warps without proper treatment, it is attacked by insects and microorganisms;
• It takes quite a long time to adjust and fix the elements in the usual way.

Using fiber cement siding

Durable and wear-resistant material. It is characterized by excellent decorative qualities, and its tactile sensations resemble ceramics. This a good option You can easily and quickly finish the building with your own hands. made taking into account all the criteria for materials for external finishing.

It is based on cement and natural fillers (up to 90% content), due to which the cladding is not only durable and resistant to ultraviolet rays, but also withstands precipitation. In addition, it has excellent sound and heat insulation properties. And thanks to the huge range of products, you can choose the color and texture. Everyone can make a choice depending on their desire.

If we talk about disadvantages, this includes its cost. Fiber cement siding requires the right attitude and experience. It is recommended to hire experienced workers for cladding. Thanks to fiber cement siding, you can create a ventilated facade, so frame building will be thermally insulated due to the presence of an insulating layer. A layer of air will prevent it from getting wet and covered with condensation.

Plaster

Builders like to use wet cladding or decorative plaster. For this purpose, take from mineral or acrylic base. Their advantage is that they allow air to pass through. True, when choosing facade plaster, you need to take into account that the process also includes the creation of an insulating layer of polystyrene foam, expanded polystyrene and other materials protected from moisture. . This is the essence of wet façade technology.

Thanks to this, the building will be protected, and thermal insulation properties buildings will rise. However, you must carefully follow the instructions. If you do not do this, the following phenomena will occur:

1. Formation of cracks.
2. The appearance of spotting on the surface.
3. Swelling.
4. The finishing layer may peel off.

It is better not to apply plaster on mineral wool, since when it gets wet it loses its useful soundproofing properties.

That's why you shouldn't take on veneering yourself if you don't know how to do it correctly. It is better to pay a professional who will do the job quickly and efficiently.

Facade brick

This satisfies almost all the requirements that we cited at the beginning. However, there is a big disadvantage - weight. This makes stone materials useless for buildings made using frame technology. To implement it, you need to strengthen the foundation, however, frame houses have lightweight foundations.

An alternative option is lightweight products with voids inside. Its positive aspects for a frame-type house:

1. High strength indicators.
2. He is not afraid of blows.
3. Attractive decorative qualities.
4. Long operational period.
5. It has fire-resistant qualities and is not afraid of moisture.
6. Does not rust, does not rot.

However, covering the outside of a frame house with brick has its own difficulties:

1. The weight of the building increases, so the base will have to be strengthened.
2. The weight that will be placed on the structure is calculated. Such moments are thought through before starting the construction of a frame house on your own or someone else’s.
3. To flexibly attach the finishing to the building, metal plates are placed into it.

To conclude, the main advantage of frame technology is the use of affordable, but quality materials, characterized by low cost. The base is made lightweight, which also saves money. And to finish the building decorative bricks, you need to spend a lot of money.

Block house, imitation timber

The block house is wooden plank, it is planed. The decorative side is rounded to resemble a rounded beam. Because of this, it is often used to decorate a building. With such finishing, even the most budget building will look original, rich and stylish. The frame structure resembles a house constructed from timber.

Advantages for frame-type buildings:

1. Ecological cleanliness.
2. Excellent thermal insulation and sound insulation qualities.
3. Allows you to create an attractive facade for a frame house.
4. They are easy to work with.
5. They retain their original color for a long time and do not fade under the influence of sunlight.
6. They are resistant to temperature fluctuations.

Disadvantages of a block house for frame-type buildings;

• does not withstand moisture well;
• decorative finishing of block house facades has insufficient fire resistance.

By resorting to impregnations and antiseptics (modern), all the shortcomings can be leveled out. The compositions also protect the material from microorganisms and rotting.

Vinyl siding - cheap but high quality

To the question: how to sheathe the outside of a frame house inexpensively, there is a good answer - g. Is it really that good? It is very popular in Western countries and in places where the climate is warm.

Advantages of vinyl siding for a frame house:

1. Minimum cost. The price/quality of the material for finishing a frame house is truly the best.
2. Practicality. It is easy to care for the surface; vinyl is resistant to moisture and UV rays. And it is enough to wash off dirt and dust with water.
3. Good maintainability. If one of the elements is damaged, it must be removed and replaced.
4. Light weight. For a frame house - just right.
5. Most of them have an attractive appearance. The variety of colors and textures is extensive.

Flaws:

• insufficient level of strength, the material used is brittle at sub-zero temperatures.

Features of choosing finishing for a frame house

Several factors can influence the choice of materials. For example, the peculiarity of a particular area. If the region is warm, there are no severe frosts and moisture, then it is used vinyl siding, block house, etc. An important role is played by the type of insulation for a frame house and the purpose of the exterior finishing.

There are some rules that must be followed when choosing cladding material:

1. If the region is rainy, block house and others wooden crafts It's better not to use it. And if the climate is cold, then metal and vinyl siding will not be suitable. It is better to resort to DSP and thermal panels.
2. If mineral wool is used to insulate a frame house, then lining, siding or a block house will do as exterior finishing. Plaster is chosen last, since mineral wool is afraid of moisture. Wet method Applicable to foam and similar hydrophobic materials.
3. A frame house, which will be finished only for the purpose of giving an original appearance, can be finished with any material that the owners like. However, possible risks are also taken into account.
4. In order to insulate the structure, it is better to resort to the use of thermal panels and curtain facades.

Finishing a frame house on the outside is not as easy as on the inside. Here you need to take into account all the negative aspects of the external environment. And the availability of a variety of materials should simplify the task, because there is a huge selection of materials for a frame house. However, in practice it looks different. We have to rack our brains as to what is the best way to cover a room like this. By comparing all the positive and negative aspects of the materials, assessing your financial capabilities and calculating all the details, you can choose the best option. But still, there are no guarantees that it will be the best!

The exterior decoration of a frame house can be made of various materials, therefore, when choosing a certain type of product, it is worth learning about their features. Some materials can be fixed yourself, while others will have to be installed by professional builders. In order for the exterior decoration of a frame house to be admired, you need to choose the right finishing materials that are suitable for your chosen design style.

Types of finishing

It is impossible to leave a frame house without finishing, so you will have to choose the material in any case. The most common include:

1. Hanging structures. Thanks to such products, it is possible to additionally insulate the building from the outside if it is located in a region with a continental climate. When choosing this finishing method, you can use metal, brick, stone and other materials.
2. Plaster. Such compositions can have different shades, so if desired, you can decorate the house in any style.
3. Facade brick. When choosing this material, it should be taken into account that the weight of the house increases significantly. That is why it is worth choosing a material for the external design of a building at the design stage.
4. Siding. This material is characterized by low cost and a fairly long service life.
5. PVC panels. Such products can imitate brick, boards and other materials. If exterior decoration frame house is produced with my own hands
6. , it is necessary to constantly check the location of each cladding element. Panels based on polyurethane.
7. This material allows you not only to change the appearance of the building, but also to insulate the facade. Facade tiles.
8. This material is fixed with glue or using special fasteners for tiles. Block house. Specified cladding material

When choosing any material, it is important to purchase only reliable products. The cladding of the house must be done correctly without cracks or gaps. It is best to entrust the work to professional builders. In this case, the exterior finishing of the frame house will be done with high quality and in a shorter time than when creating the cladding yourself.

Hanging structures

Wall-mounted finishing structures have many advantages over other types of similar materials. If desired, you can completely change the appearance of the house by attaching the appropriate panels. The frame for securing finishing materials is most often made of metal. In this case, a space is left between the finish and the wall in which the insulation can be placed. Mineral wool is usually used.

It should be noted that the use of hanging structures can improve the sound insulation of the structure, making the house more comfortable. The described structures can be divided into ventilated and non-ventilated. Products of the second type are easier to fix, which is why they are chosen by many owners of country houses. It is also important to consider that the interior decoration of a frame house must be combined with the selected material.

Wet lining

Most often, wet cladding of a wooden house is carried out with additional insulation. Foam boards are used for this. When purchasing, you only need to select slabs for exterior finishing. This type of foam is called façade foam and is marked with the letter f.

Extruded polystyrene foam should only be used to insulate the base of a building. This is due to the fact that such material is more rigid and does not absorb moisture. The foam is glued end to end. In order for the primer to adhere to the surface more reliably, it is necessary to treat the slabs with sandpaper.

After fixing the foam, a special glue is applied to its surface, into which a fiberglass mesh is embedded. After this, the surface is covered with quartz primer. This composition contains sand filler. Only after the described work has been carried out can plaster be applied.

Compositions for finishing the facade of a frame house are divided into acrylic, silicone, mineral and silicate.

Facade brick

The described material can be divided according to composition and shade. For exterior finishing, the following types of material are most often used:

• sand-lime brick;
• ceramic;
• hyper-pressed.

Sand-lime brick has a low cost, while ceramic brick is a more beautiful material. Bricks are divided into solid and hollow. Products of the second type retain heat better. That is why many owners of frame buildings choose them.

It is not necessary to install this material in winter time, since when sub-zero temperature the solution freezes and the masonry becomes more fragile. Before finishing work, it is necessary to accurately calculate the required amount of material. Brick lots may have different shade, which will negatively affect the appearance of the building. To make the color of the masonry more uniform, you can treat the walls with 10% sulfuric acid.

If the exterior finishing is done correctly, the house will look like a structure made entirely of brick. It is also important to choose a shade roofing material so that it matches the color of the brick.

Siding and PVC panels

One of the cheapest finishing methods is the use of siding and PVC panels. Siding is not damaged by precipitation and can be used long time. The material is not susceptible to fungus. No siding required special care. You can use a garden hose to remove dirt from the surface. By choosing the right shade, you can beautifully decorate your own home.

Siding is lightweight and therefore does not create additional load on the walls. Often frame houses are finished PVC panels under a stone. The material washes well and can be used to protect the base of a building.

Siding is usually attached to a frame, which allows you to attach insulation to the wall and create a ventilation gap. This helps remove excess moisture.

Thermal panels with clinker tiles

Many people use thermal panels to cover a frame house. They not only decorate the wall, but also help retain heat in the house. The panels are fixed in a seamless manner. Many owners of country plots choose clinker tiles to decorate a frame house, as they are not subject to abrasion and deformation by mold.

The material is fixed to the walls as follows:

1. First, the geometry of the structure is verified. All walls of the house must be perfectly smooth, and the corners are 90 degrees. If there is even a slight deviation, it is necessary to create a sheathing for the entire structure.
2. Installation of the base profile. At this stage, the aluminum profile is fixed in the horizontal direction. During work it is necessary to use a building level.
3. After this, the corner thermal panels are fixed.
4. At the next stage, the panels are installed over the entire area of ​​the facade. For this, dowels or screws are used.
5. Then you need to seal the panels by filling the gaps between the panels. The seams are treated with grout that is resistant to low temperatures.

Having chosen this finishing method, you need to be prepared to spend large quantities money, since the material is highly expensive. You will also have to spend money on the services of builders.

Using tiles to look like brick, stone and other materials

When using tiles, you can not only modify the structure, but also protect it from external factors. Fastening should be done to the sheathing in such a way that between finishing material and the gap remained like a wall. It is important to press the tiles tightly against each other, since if there is even a small gap through the tiles, wooden walls moisture may get in. The tiles are fixed using glue.

The described material has the following advantages:

1. Wide variety of shapes and colors. Thanks to this, if you wish, you can decorate your own frame house in an original way.
2. Easy to install. Even if you hire professional builders, the cost of the work will not be high, since the tiles are fixed quite quickly.
3. Lightness of tiles. Since the material is light in weight, strengthening the foundation of the house is not required.
4. Protecting the walls of a frame house from moisture and condensation.
5. Environmental friendliness.
6. Attractive appearance. Tiles allow you to create a design that is difficult to distinguish from the finishing of expensive types of stone.

If deformations occur, the tiles are easy to replace. To do this, you just need to remove the damaged products, securing new ones in their place.

Using a block house

If you want to design the building as a house made of timber, you should use a block house. This material is a part of a rounded log with a flat surface. It is this side that the material is fixed to the wall, due to which, after finishing work, it seems that the house is built of logs.

In addition, the block house has other advantages:

1. Protection from environmental influences. The material is coated with special compounds that extend the life of the wood.
2. Possibility to insulate and secure soundproofing material. Mineral wool is often placed under the finishing.
3. Fastening the described products can be done with your own hands. It is not necessary to hire professional builders to carry out the work. But it should be remembered that to avoid errors it is important to carry out work with an assistant.
4. Possibility of replacing each finishing element of a frame house.

By purchasing a block house, you can greatly modify the structure, making it look like luxury cottages. When choosing a material, it is important to remember that the interior decoration of a frame house must match its exterior design.

Frame houses are gaining popularity in our country, and the advantages of this option for constructing country housing are obvious. The frame structure is inexpensive, beautiful, strong and durable. For its construction, as a rule, wooden frames. But you can decorate the facade of a frame house in a variety of ways, fortunately, the choice of materials on the market is currently huge. For most homeowners, it is quite possible to do the cladding of a frame house with your own hands. In this article we will talk about what the finishing of the facade of a frame house can be like.

Brick finishing

Facing brick is a material that makes it possible to make the facade of any building, including frame buildings, stylish, noble and modern. In addition, the cost of such a building on the housing market becomes significantly higher, and the service life when proper organization facade works– increase.

Cladding with decorative bricks can easily be done with your own hands. It is made in half a brick. The work is performed as follows:

Step 1. A shallow strip foundation is made along the entire perimeter of the building: the brickwork will rest on it (the concrete will gain strength in 28-30 days).

Step 2. If necessary, the facade of the building is insulated using mineral wool, foam or other materials. A layer of waterproofing (rolled membrane, etc.) must be installed.

Step 3. We use special flexible anchors (made of polymers) in order to connect the brickwork into a single unit with the wall of the frame house. Along the perimeter of window and doorways Additional anchors are installed; they also need to be placed in the corners of the building. The rigid part of the anchor is driven into the tree, the second end of the fastener will remain between the masonry bricks.

Step 4. We cover the base of the house with roofing felt and begin finishing with bricks - laying starts from the corner. In order to ensure that the masonry is level, a cord is pulled in advance, and the first row is checked with a building level. The brick is placed either on edge or flat - it depends on your preferences.

Step 5. When facing with brick, “vents” are created in the lower rows of the masonry - special openings that provide ventilation to the facade. Vertical seams every two bricks to create such “vents” must be left without mortar. In addition, you should make a gap of about a centimeter under the roof, at the very end of the masonry. Thus, when facing with brick, you actually get a ventilated façade of a frame building.

Facing with siding

Siding is inexpensive and relatively simple and quick way make the facade of any building, including frame buildings, modern and beautiful. Work on finishing facades with siding is carried out in several stages:

Step 1. Before decorating the walls with siding, wooden blocks are placed on the surface of the walls (they can be used to generally reduce the cost of finishing, instead of metal profiles). The bars are located at a distance of about half a meter from each other, they are fastened along the entire perimeter of the building.

Step 2. At the base of the building, around the perimeter, a starting strip is attached: the correctness of its installation is checked using a building level. The quality of wall finishing largely depends on the quality of fastening of the starting strip. frame structure siding.

Step 3. To the sheathing frame, or rather, to it vertical posts, a profile corner is attached.

Step 4. The panels are mounted on the sheathing bars. The profile tenon of the panel along its entire length is installed in the latch of the starting strip, and the siding panel is carefully lifted up until it clicks. Done – the panel is fixed. One self-tapping screw is screwed into each frame post along the edge of the panel. The second panel joins the first in the upward direction, also until a characteristic click is heard. After the siding is completed, the panels must be connected with a special connecting strip, which is primarily of aesthetic importance.

Block house cladding

Decorating the facade of a frame house using such a popular material today as a block house is quite an expensive pleasure. Meanwhile, a building sheathed in this way will look stylish, high-quality, and the finishing itself (with proper installation, of course, will last quite a long time). The strength and lightness of the material, the relative simplicity of façade cladding - these are the most important advantages block house. In addition, in a frame building, which is lined with a block house, a very favorable atmosphere for living is created; it is “easy to breathe” in such a house. However, when choosing this material, keep in mind that it requires ongoing care: periodic varnishing, priming, tinting, etc. But, as a rule, such efforts are justified both from an aesthetic and functional point of view.

If you have certain knowledge, you can decorate the facade using a block house yourself.

Step 1. After the block house has been purchased and delivered, it is necessary to place it in well-ventilated areas for about a week - to adapt to the external environment and, as a result, to prevent deformation in the future.

Step 2. A vertical sheathing of bars (their dimensions are 50x50 mm) is installed on the wall surface. If the thickness of the insulation for the block house is greater, the lathing is made of wood (boards), for the same purpose you can use special hangers for plasterboard sheets. Insulation is installed into the frame, then a vapor-permeable film is installed - a wind barrier and, finally, a counter-lattice made of slats 2 cm thick is installed. It is necessary for high-quality ventilation of the facade.

Step 3. The block house is fixed along the counter-lattice using self-tapping screws. In order to prevent future water from flowing in, the tenons of the material boards should be directed upwards.

Plaster finishing

Decorating the facades of frame houses with plaster is a less labor-intensive option than finishing with brick, and more labor-intensive than finishing with siding. Decorative plaster looks impressive and expensive, especially if this method of decorating the facade is done correctly, in compliance with all the rules.

If plaster seems like the best finishing option for you, you can do the job yourself. It is performed in several stages:

Step 1. A wooden or metal starting rail is fixed above the base of the building, along the lower border of the walls. Its fastening is carried out along the entire perimeter of the frame structure. This rail must be positioned strictly horizontally - this can be checked using a building level.

Step 2. Glue is applied to sheets of extruded polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam - this can be done conveniently with a notched trowel. Then the sheets are carefully pressed against the wall - from the corner. The material should rest on the starting rail. After this, the sheets are fixed with self-tapping screws (for wood), and subsequent rows are shifted slightly: the seams should be like brickwork. We cover the entire façade of the building with the material and foam the seams.

Step 3. We attach the reinforcing mesh to the foam plastic sheets, carefully cover it with glue: a layer of rough putty should appear on the surface (outwardly very similar to plastered concrete).

Step 4. Water (1/3 of the volume) is poured into the bucket and the mixture for preparing decorative (facade) plaster is poured. Using a drill with a special attachment (“mixer”), the solution is mixed well.

Step 5. The finished plaster is applied to a spatula and distributed evenly over the walls. As for the thickness of the layer, in this matter we follow the instructions of the material manufacturer. If you have textured plaster, create a pattern.

In order for the work to proceed quickly and without loss of material, prepare as much solution as you can produce until the mixture begins to set in the container.

Which of the above options is preferable for decorating the facade of a country frame house? You decide. If you want your house to last as long as possible, if you have the financial means, you should choose brick finishing. If, on the contrary, you want to save money, give preference to finishing with siding - this is a good, popular way facade design buildings constructed from various materials - from wood to brick. Decorative plaster is a more expensive pleasure, but with the right approach, such a finish will look impressive and last a long time. Choose optimal solutions and enjoy the beauty and comfort of your country home!
