By sheathing a house from the outside, you can improve the facade and give even an old building a unique look. There are many options, varying in price and quality. In this article, I will provide an overview of the various materials that will allow you to sheathe your home cheaply and beautifully. Let's talk about their pros and cons, as well as their cost. All these options are suitable for a house made of foam blocks, aerated concrete, frame and others.
Wooden options for cladding a house outside: an overview of materials
The first option is an old, time-tested tree.
- Facade lining. It is made from various types of wood: spruce, pine, Siberian larch. Facades made of natural wood are mounted quite easily in a thorn-groove, well ventilated, which allows you to maintain a comfortable microclimate in the room. Such cladding is lightweight, durable and does not require much maintenance. The price depends on the type of wood, the width of the lining. So, 1 m² of a simple pine lining will cost about 200 rubles. And high-class larch - will cost already in 1300, which at the price almost coincides with the finish with domestic clinker bricks.
- Now there are decorative types of lining, imitating a bar or a rounded log (block house). Imitation is cheaper. The simplest pine material will cost about the same as the lining. The most expensive larch options are 1400 rubles.
- Block house is a material similar to a log. Pine, depending on the variety and size, will cost from 300 to 750 rubles / m². The same dimensions from larch are 5 times more expensive.
- Planken is a board without sharp corners. It can be straight and beveled. Looks more modern than simple clapboard trim. The price is the same as the block house.
The disadvantages of wooden cladding include flammability, moisture accumulation, instability to fungi.
To reduce these disadvantages to a minimum, special varnishes are used.
Siding panels for cladding the house outside
The second option is popular siding. The product is affordable and easy to install. There are several varieties: metal, aluminum, basement, vinyl.
- Vinyl wall - domestic for 1 m² 165-500 rubles, imported - up to 1000 rubles / m².
- The vinyl plinth is thicker and more durable than the previous one. Therefore, the price is higher: domestic ranges from 470 to 1300 rubles / m²; imported - 2000-3000 rubles / m².
- Metallic - no more expensive than vinyl. The price depends on the thickness and coating. So, domestic metal siding, coated with polyester, 0.4 mm, costs about 260 rubles / m², Finnish - 0.5 mm, covered with pural, - 800 rubles / m². It is very diverse, it can even imitate a tree.
- Siding made of wood-polymer expanded clay and fiber cement. Imported material - 1000-2000 rubles / m². Similar to planken, but more durable.
The products are easy to install, resistant to weather conditions, mold and insect pests.
But there are also disadvantages. For example, vinyl siding is combustible, and during combustion it emits toxic substances, burns out under the sun, and can crack in winter. When renovating, it is necessary to replace not one panel, but the entire facade.
Plastering
The third method is decorative plaster. Can be called the most inexpensive finishing method. But here, too, there are economical options and extras.
- Mineral facade is a plaster with a cement and lime base. A 25 kg bag costs about 250 rubles. For 1 m² of 10 mm, approximately 15 kg are consumed. It turns out that a unit of area will cost 120 rubles. Apart from primer, facade paint and work.
- Acrylic plaster. Finishing will cost around 100-300 rubles / m². But to the price it is necessary to add the cost of the primer, the leveling layer with mineral plaster, work and paint.
- Silicate. More expensive than acrylic.Resistant to temperature extremes and high humidity.
- Silicone. Combines the best qualities of the previous ones. At the same time, it is highly wear-resistant, strong and elastic, more durable. It protects the house well from dirt, moisture and sun. The color scheme can be chosen for every taste. But this is the most expensive type of plaster. Its cost reaches 800 rubles / m².
So, we examined the popular methods of facade decoration. In any case, there are inexpensive ones that allow you to keep within 500 rubles per square meter. Therefore, it is important to determine which of the materials is suitable for the architectural and landscape design of the house and summer cottage.
