The construction of a country house from modern heat-efficient ceramic blocks is economically less expensive than from products called heat blocks, sometimes they are also called heat walls or thermoblocks. Below, on the example of our house project, presented on the left, a comparative calculation of costs is shown.
The final costs when choosing heat-efficient ceramic blocks Caiman30 will be lower by 162,697 rubles.
When choosing a building material, responsible structures should be understood.
The difference between full-fledged production and handicraft production is in the level of responsibility. You can answer for something specific. When it comes to building materials- this is of course product specifications. Specifications can be declared by submitting your product to independent professional laboratories that have everything necessary for testing, resulting in test reports.
Load-bearing wall materials are used in the most critical structures of the house. Moreover, the blocks of load-bearing walls are not wallpaper, and, having made a mistake with the choice, it will no longer be possible to replace the walls.
Compare various materials possible and necessary according to the characteristics. Characteristics, as noted above, are spelled out in the test reports:
- Compressive strength test report;
- Thermal conductivity test report;
- Frost resistance test report;
- Conclusion of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance.
Any sane person will ask the question - If you are sure that your product is so good, why don't you have tests carried out by an independent laboratory, which, after testing, could confirm the numbers you claimed?
Summary.
Considering the materials of load-bearing walls: ceramic blocks, gas silicate, expanded clay concrete, wood concrete, heat blocks and their varieties, require the above set of standard test reports. This is the minimum and mandatory set for any full-fledged production.
It also needs to be understood. Any insulation in design - weak link and polystyrene is no exception. Obviously, the insulation has a shorter service life than concrete or ceramic stone. Sooner or later, the facade will have to be repaired. Check with the manufacturer offering multi-layer structures whether the regulations for facade repair work have been developed.
If you want to build a cost effective home, o focus on modern technologies.
As an alternative, we recommend considering the most heat-efficient ceramic blocks among those produced in Russia Kerakam Cayman30 . Application of ceramic blocks Cayman30 allows you to build country houses that meet all applicable standards, and in particular, those that meet SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings" for cities such as Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Perm, Krasnoyarsk, without inclusion in the design of the external wall weak link- layer insulation. The thermotechnical calculation, performed according to the method of SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings", confirming the statement, is presented below.
At the same time, the cost of building one square meter of housing will be one of the lowest when compared with any stone block, including in comparison with products called a heat block, heat wall or thermoblock.
Below is a cost comparison of an exterior wall using a heat efficient ceramic block. Cayman30 and the outer wall, in which a product called heat block, in relation to a specific house project of our development.
If the heat-efficient ceramic block incorporated in the project Cayman30 replace on the product called heat block, final expenses for building a house will increase on the 162 697 rubles.

Below is a heat engineering calculation performed according to the methodology described in SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings".As well as the economic justification for the use of the Kerakam Kaiman30 ceramic block when comparing the costs of building the house in question using a concrete or expanded clay concrete product with insulation and a decorative panel.
First, we determine the required thermal resistance for external walls residential buildings for the city of Dmitrov, as well as the thermal resistance created by the structures in question.
The ability of a structure to retain heat is determined by such a physical parameter as the thermal resistance of the structure ( R, m 2 *S/W).
Let us determine the degree-day of the heating period, °С ∙ day/year, according to the formula (SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings") for the city Dmitrov.
GSOP = (t in - t out)z out,
where,
t in- the design temperature of the internal air of the building, ° С, taken in the calculation of the enclosing structures of the groups of buildings indicated in table 3 (SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings"): according to pos. 1 - by minimum values optimum temperature corresponding buildings in accordance with GOST 30494 (in the range 20
- 22 °С);
t from- average outdoor temperature, °C in cold period, for Mr. Dmitrov meaning -3,1
°C;
z from- duration, days / year, of the heating period, adopted according to the set of rules for the period with an average daily outdoor temperature of not more than 8 ° C, for the city Dmitrov meaning 216 days.
The value of the required thermal resistance for the external walls of residential buildings is determined by the formula (SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings)
R tr 0 \u003d a * GSOP + b
where,
R tr 0- required thermal resistance;
a and b- coefficients, the values of which should be taken according to table No. 3 of SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings" for the corresponding groups of buildings, for residential buildings the value a should be taken equal to 0.00035, the value b - 1,4
| The value of the required thermal resistance for the external walls of residential buildings in a number of Russian cities |

The formula for calculating the conditional thermal resistance of the considered structure:
R0 = Σ δ n /λ n + 0,158
Where,
Σ
– symbol of summation of layers for multilayer structures;
δ
- layer thickness in meters;
λ
- coefficient of thermal conductivity of the layer material under the condition of operational humidity;
n- layer number (for multilayer structures);
0.158 is a correction factor, which can be taken as a constant for simplicity.
Formula for calculating the reduced thermal resistance.
R r 0 \u003d R 0 x r
Where,
r- coefficient of thermal engineering homogeneity of structures with inhomogeneous sections (joints, heat-conducting inclusions, porches, etc.)
according to standard STO 00044807-001-2006 according to Table No. 8, the value of the coefficient of thermal uniformity r for masonry of large-format hollow porous ceramic stones and gas silicate blocks should be taken equal to 0,98 .
At the same time, I draw your attention to the fact that this coefficient does not take into account the fact that
- we recommend laying with a warm masonry mortar (this significantly eliminates heterogeneity at the joints);
- as connections between the bearing wall and the front masonry, we use not metal, but basalt-plastic connections, which conduct heat literally 100 times less than steel connections (this significantly eliminates the inhomogeneities formed due to heat-conducting inclusions);
- window slopes and doorways, according to our design documentation, they are additionally insulated with extruded polystyrene foam (which eliminates heterogeneity in the places of window and door openings, porches).
R r 0 must be greater than or equal to R 0 required.
We determine the operating mode of the building in order to understand what thermal conductivity coefficient λ a or λ in taken when calculating the conditional thermal resistance.
|
The procedure for determining the operating mode is described in detail in SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings" . Based on the specified regulatory document, we will follow the step-by-step instructions. 1st step. Let's define hmoisture content of the building region - Dmitrov using Appendix B of SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings". |
 |
|
According to the city table Dmitrov located in zone 2 (normal climate). We accept the value 2 - normal climate. 2nd step. According to Table No. 1 of SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings" we determine the humidity regime in the room. At the same time, I draw your attention to the fact that during the heating season, the humidity in the room drops to 15-20%. During the heating season, air humidity must be raised to at least 35-40%. Humidity of 40-50% is considered comfortable for a person. |
 |
|
According to Table 1, the humidity regime in the room during the heating period at an air temperature of 12 to 24 degrees and a relative humidity of up to 50% - dry. 3rd step. According to Table No. 2 of SNiP "Thermal protection of buildings" we determine the operating conditions. To do this, we find the intersection of the line with the value of the humidity regime in the room, in our case it is dry, with humidity column for city Dmitrov, as explained earlier, is the value normal. |

Initial conditions. Finishing the veranda can be made with a variety of materials. Along with this, it must be taken into account that this room is unheated, therefore it is not recommended to use finishing materials that are unstable to moisture and temperature changes. In addition, it is not recommended to save money in the process of purchasing finishing materials.
All finishing work can be done independently, without the help of specialists. First you need to create an approximate project for the work, and then select and purchase materials. The ceiling is usually finished first, then the walls, and finally the floor.
Regular wood finish.
What materials are suitable for finishing the veranda?
Selecting suitable finishing materials is of decisive importance.
Finishing should be done with high quality materials that are resistant to various negative influences.
It is especially important if the veranda does not have full glazing and insulation. Then the finish will be subject to the strongest influence of atmospheric factors, which cannot but affect its performance.
- The most popular material for finishing work on the veranda is wooden lining. It is suitable for finishing the ceiling and walls of the room. The lining is completely made of wood, has an attractive appearance, it is pleasant to the touch and exudes a pleasant woody smell. At the same time, the lining during additional processing is resistant to various influences, which allows it to be used in different climatic conditions.
- Finishing inside can be done with drywall sheets. At the same time, it is important to purchase moisture-resistant drywall, which can be used to sheathe the ceiling and walls. It is a safe material that is not affected by fire. Plasterboard sheets can be easily cut and bent, so finishing the room can be done using a variety of design techniques.
- The veranda inside can also be finished with MDF. This is a facing material that imitates natural wood. It is strong enough, durable, but susceptible to moisture, so it cannot be used to finish the structure from the outside. The best option is to use in closed and.
- PVC panels. PVC panels are used in last years increased demand. The panels on the modern market are presented in a wide variety of shades, textures and types, so you can easily choose an option for your veranda or terrace. PVC panels are characterized by increased resistance to moisture, high and low temperatures, and chemicals. They are easy to install by hand. Maintenance of the material also does not require special costs.
- Siding. Interior decoration with siding is extremely rare. Still, this is a material for finishing work on the outside. It is great for cladding country houses and various buildings on the site. In stores you can find models with imitation of wooden lining, natural wood, stone, brick and other materials.
The choice of one or another type of material for decoration will depend on the personal preferences of the owners and financial capabilities.
Veranda ceiling decoration
Before finishing the ceiling of the veranda inside, it is necessary to thoroughly treat all wooden elements with an antiseptic composition.
After processing, the installation of the frame base is carried out, for which they are used wooden bars(fit size 30x50 or 50x50). They must also be treated with antiseptic compounds. The bars are fastened to the roof rafters using self-tapping screws or long nails. The fastening step of the bars is 30-40 cm. At the same time, it is important to observe the horizontal installation of wooden elements, for which you need to use building level.
Also, a waterproofing material must be fixed to the rafters, which will protect the heat insulator and finishing materials from moisture. Thermal insulation materials in the case of a veranda can be mineral wool slabs, polystyrene foam and other traditional heaters. Only then can you begin to attach the outer skin to the ceiling.
The easiest way would be to hem a wooden lining on the ceiling of the veranda. Installation of wooden lining is carried out strictly perpendicular to the frame bars. It must be nailed to the end with galvanized nails. After the lining of the ceiling with a clapboard is completed, it is recommended that it be sanded and coated with any suitable paint and varnish composition.
If the ceiling of the veranda is planned to be finished with PVC panels, then the work is carried out in the following sequence:
- First, the initial profile is mounted on a wooden crate, with which it will be possible to assemble individual PVC panels with each other.
- After that, a panel sheet must be inserted into the grooves of the initial profile. The panel is fastened with separate clamps or self-tapping screws.
- Then the next panel is mounted in the groove, which must be fixed in a similar way.
- Further, the work is carried out in the same sequence.
- During the installation process, it is necessary to leave a small gap of 10-20 mm in size, which will ensure the problem-free expansion of the plastic material during exposure to high temperatures.
In the same way, siding panels or MDF can be hemmed onto the ceiling of the veranda. Given the fact that MDF and siding are presented in stores with many models with a wide variety of designs, this option has recently been a priority for many suburban homeowners.
If it was planned to hem plasterboard sheets on the ceiling, then it is better to refuse to use a wooden crate in favor of a specialized metal profile.
Directly on the profile, the elements are mounted, to which the plasterboard sheets are fastened. It is better to fix the sheets with self-tapping screws. Upon completion of the fixing of drywall, the ceiling surface must be puttied, cleaned, which will prepare it for the final finish.
Finishing the walls and floor of the veranda
Finishing the walls of the veranda is quite simple: first of all, you need to mount wooden frame from bars. It is important to install as evenly as possible, checking the accuracy of installation with a building level.
Nice wood paneling.
If it is supposed to make a warm veranda, then after installing the wooden lathing, the walls must be insulated with a suitable thermal insulation material. Before laying the insulation, a waterproofing film is installed, which will protect the insulator and finishing materials from moisture and condensate. All used wooden materials must be treated with an antiseptic composition. After that, the selected facing material to Wall.
The floor covering of the veranda should be given special attention. The choice of one or another type of coating will largely depend on the operating conditions. To finish the floor of the veranda, you can use a terraced or solid board, laminated panels, ceramic tiles and other popular floor materials. Waterproof laminate and decking - best option for finishing. These coatings are quite easy to install, durable, do not require special care conditions.
Waterproof laminate and decking can be used even in cases where the veranda is completely open from the outside and does not have glazing.
Moreover, in such cases, as alternative solution floor finishes, preference can be given to traditional ceramic tiles or modern PVC panels. It is also possible to use linoleum. It is worth noting that the new models of linoleum have a fairly attractive appearance and excellent performance, so their cost can be quite high.
External decoration of the veranda
Outside, the veranda can be finished with wooden clapboard, although many experts recommend refusing to use it in the outer cladding, even if the material has been treated with protective compounds. The most popular solution for exterior finish terraces and verandas is siding, the models of which can imitate a variety of finishing materials. Siding can be easily fixed to any base.
For facade work, horizontal siding is usually used, equipped with locking joints. Finishing in this case can be done independently. The main thing here is to make a frame (crate), on which installation will be carried out plastic panels siding.
No one private house or a cottage can not do without a veranda - a place where home comfort and peace of wildlife meet. What finish to choose, how to arrange furniture and fit the design into the surrounding space?
The veranda is probably the best place at the cottage or country house where you can fully relax and feel the unity with nature. It can be solid, insulated, functionally planned and thoroughly furnished. Or be light, furnished with country simplicity - such that with the onset of cold weather it could be freed from furniture. However, any veranda needs a certain interior decoration, which will create that unique atmosphere of closeness to nature.
The most important thing is that the veranda is in harmony with the architecture of the house, its interior decoration echoes the interior. It is also important that it is correctly inscribed in the surrounding landscape.
Veranda style
It all depends on the style in which the decoration of the house itself is sustained. But at the same time, the atmosphere of the veranda should convey its purpose - a place for relaxation and meals. Therefore, rustic styles are perfect, for example, country, Provence, Russian style, in which comfort is intertwined with the simplicity and charm of rural life. If you want something special, you can choose Japanese or eco-style. Or build a patio in the spirit of the Roman Empire with fountains, flowerpots and terracotta tiles on the floor.
materials
In the interior, only natural materials will be appropriate. The walls can be finished with stone or brick, making a reference to the loft style. The tree will also look organic. For finishing floors, it is better to use wear-resistant, unpretentious material - for example, porcelain stoneware. Panoramic glazing traditional for most verandas: sunlight passes through it and the greenery of the garden is visible. If you equip the veranda with sliding glass doors, you can let the garden and its freshness inside at any time, or isolate yourself from dampness when it rains.
It is also better to choose a natural palette for finishing the veranda. In this border zone between the house and the garden, natural green, gray-brown, terracotta shades with bright accents will look very beautiful.
layout
It is important to plan the space inside the veranda in accordance with your expectations and the functions that the veranda will perform in the house. If you rarely use it for cooking, but more as a place where you can sit and drink tea in the shade, you will need a simple dining group (table and light chairs) and a small grill to sometimes cook barbecue for the household.
If you are a connoisseur of country feasts with many friends, then it is better to make a competent layout on the veranda. Designate a dining area and a cooking area, organize an entire kitchen: build a stove that includes an oven, hob, hearth with a spit, grill and tandoor, as well as put a cutting table, hang cupboards for dishes. Then there is no need for a hotel kitchen inside the house.
Furniture
An open veranda should be furnished with special garden furniture. It is made of resistant materials that are not afraid of moisture, cold, do not deteriorate in direct sunlight. Be sure to need a table and several chairs for the household. Dishes and food can be safely stored at home, so cabinets are most likely not needed. But flower pots or planter, rocking chair or hanging chair, a sofa swing will be very handy on the open veranda.
Much more furniture will be needed if you are working on finishing the glazed veranda, which plays the role of a kitchen-dining room at home. Here, for the interior, you can already choose solid expensive furniture: soft sofas and armchairs, round table to accommodate more guests. Undoubted decoration will be wooden dish shelves - the best place for beautiful plates. Let's not forget the old grandmother's buffet.
Decor
Finishing the veranda is completed with a choice of decor and accessories. Since this area combines the functions of a relaxation area and a kitchen-dining room, the decor should be appropriate, cozy. Create a warm mood family photos on the walls, paintings of landscapes and still lifes, painted crockery and intricate candlesticks.
More examples of interior arrangements of verandas can be found in the photo with design projects from professionals.
Surrounding area
A private house or a private estate constitutes a single whole with the territory adjacent to the house. The veranda should look organically in the surrounding landscape, and the garden approaching it should be a continuation of the chosen style. In short, if preference is given English style, then the garden should be English. And the eastern veranda will fit into Japanese garden stones. By the way, the veranda can be combined with another functional area:
- conservatory, greenhouse or even greenhouse
- a playground so that the little ones do not get bored while the adults feast
- bath or sauna to combine the pleasure of eating barbecue with the adoption of water procedures.
The content of the article:
Finishing the veranda is a set of measures aimed at its improvement. A veranda is called an extension adjacent to the wall of the house. It refers to the type of summer unheated premises and can be indoors or open version execution. Depending on the type of extension, the interior decoration of its walls is carried out. In addition, the configuration of the veranda and its exterior design should fit well into the exterior of the entire building. With simple skills construction works, you can finish the walls of the veranda with your own hands.
The choice of material for finishing the walls of the veranda
The materials chosen for finishing the walls of the veranda must meet practical and aesthetic requirements. A feature of their choice is the lack of heating in the closed annex and the serious impact of climatic conditions on the structure of the open veranda. Therefore, the material used for decoration should not only be visually attractive and consistent with the design, but also withstand exposure to the sun, high humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Sheathing the walls of the veranda can be done with many finishing materials that are used for interior and exterior work:
- . It belongs to the classics of the genre, as it is the most popular material for wall cladding due to its environmental friendliness, excellent appearance and pleasant aroma exhaled by natural wood.
- Plasterboard sheets (GKL). For verandas, their moisture-resistant version is suitable. Such products differ from conventional plasterboards in their in green. The material is environmentally friendly, easy to install and easy to process in numerous ways. It can take almost any shape, and this is important when decorating walls. Such cladding is used in closed verandas.
- . This material imitates natural wood. It is quite durable, but wet environments are not for it. Therefore, MDF can be used for sheathing the walls of a closed veranda.
- PVC panels. It is a durable and inexpensive moisture resistant material. It is represented by a rich assortment of various shades and colors, can have a different texture, is very easy to use and not particularly whimsical to care for. Suitable for wall cladding of extensions of any type.
- Siding panels. They are practical and affordable. They often imitate wood and come in a variety of colors. The material does not rot, is resistant to temperature changes and fire, is easy to clean and durable. Most often used for exterior wall decoration on the veranda.
Preparatory work before finishing the walls on the veranda
If the veranda has glazing, it is better to finish its walls after installing thermal insulation under the windows. In this case, the room can be used almost until the onset of frost.
For insulation of a closed veranda, you can use mineral wool or foam. To begin with, waterproofing should be fixed on the walls, as it can be taken as a moisture-proof plastic film. It is overlapped by 150-200 mm, the joints of the sheets must be glued with metallized tape.
After that, it is necessary to install a crate on the walls. The material for it can be wooden beam pre-treated with an antiseptic. The cross section of the timber should be selected according to the thickness of the insulation, and the size of the cell of the crate should correspond to the width of the insulation.
Then the insulation, in particular mineral wool, should be packed in a waterproof material and laid in the cells of the crate. Wrapping the insulation will protect it from moisture and keep it functional for many years.
After that, a foil membrane should be fixed on top of the insulation on the crate and its joints should be glued with adhesive tape. In the process of insulation, it plays the role of a heat-reflecting screen. On this, the thermal insulation of the walls can be completed.
Technology for finishing the walls of the veranda
Having chosen how to sheathe the walls on the veranda, you can start finishing them. Below we will consider several of its options.
Finishing the walls of the veranda with PVC panels
This method of decoration is inexpensive, but it can make an ordinary room cozy and interesting. Panels are not afraid high humidity air and sudden changes in its temperature - they are not able to cause deformations of this material. Panel installation is easy and hassle-free.
The disadvantage of the material can be called its fragility, although at the present time it is possible to purchase "armored" panels, the cost of which will be twice as much as usual. Therefore, after installing such a cladding, you should carefully move chairs towards it or lean against the wall. To minimize the risks, there is such a construction trick: the first plank of the panel lathing is mounted at the level of the knees, the second - the pelvis, and the third - the shoulder.
The frame for plastic panels is made of wooden slats or a profile that is used when installing gypsum boards. Reiki can have a section of 30x10 or 30x20 mm, before use they should be treated with an antiseptic.
The fastening of the laths of the crate should be carried out in a perpendicular direction relative to the installation of the panels. For example, if the plastic on the wall needs to be placed vertically, then the rails for its fastening should be stuffed horizontally on the wall, the step between them should not exceed 50 cm.
After making the crate in the corner of the room, you need to fix the mounting corner or the starting profile with screws or nails. The corner will allow you to dock the panels with each other. The starting profile is installed if the adjacent wall will be sheathed with other material. On the ceiling, you need to install a mounting plate for the plinth.
The first panel is inserted into the guide profile with a spike towards the mounting side. Then it needs to be fixed on the crate using a self-tapping screw with a press washer. Then the spike of the next PVC panel must be firmly inserted into the groove of the previous one and fixed. All other trim panels are mounted in the same way.
Due to the fact that plastic has thermal expansion, a gap of 20-30 mm should be left at the bottom and top of the wall to compensate for it, masking it with a plinth.
Important! Panels with a pattern when sheathing walls are installed from left to right. Plain panels can be mounted starting from either side.
Finishing the walls of the veranda with MDF panels
This material is quite popular among adherents of self-finishing. MDF panels are stronger than plastic, but not resistant to moisture. Therefore, they should only be used on closed verandas.
The installation process of MDF panels is similar to the previous one. Only in this case, their fastening is carried out using special metal devices - clamps, which are fixed on the material with small nails or a construction stapler. This must be done through the guide, it will prevent damage to the edge of the panel.
Finishing the walls of the veranda clapboard
Clapboard is called wooden board thickness up to 22 mm, having special grooves, with the help of which the installation and joining of the cladding elements is carried out. If the material is treated with an antiseptic, its service life can be extended up to 20 years.
According to the production method, the sheathing board can be solid or spliced. In the latter case, pieces of high-quality wood are interconnected in a special way. Such products do not have flaws in the form of knots or cracks, but are not suitable for sheathing the walls of an open veranda.
The reason for this is education high humidity cracks in the joints of the board, which spoil the appearance of the finished cladding. The most expensive lining is almost always spliced. It has an “extra” class, and products of classes A, B and C are made from solid wood.
Before finishing the walls on the veranda with a sheathing board, the material must be left to adapt in a closed room for several days, and then the lining should be treated with a protective compound. Mounting the board on the walls of the veranda is similar to installing PVC and MDF panels.
There are several ways to attach it:
- The simplest of them is fasteners using galvanized nails. In this case, they are driven in along the center of the planks, and the caps are sunk into the wood with a punch.
- Fixing the sheathing board with self-tapping screws is more laborious, but at the same time, the attachment points are not visible. A hole is drilled in the board from the side of its spike, having a depth of about 10 mm. The diameters of the drill and the caps of the fasteners must match each other. Then the bar is screwed to the lath of the crate, and the screw is recessed into the hole and closed with a dowel on top. The place of fastening is then polished.
- The board can be attached to the crate using mounting brackets. For this, a pneumatic or mechanical construction stapler is used.
- Another way is fasteners. wood paneling kleimers. At the same time, it is first attached to back wall mounting groove of the first bar. Then it is nailed to the wall and only then the kleimer is fixed. The same kleimer is installed on the second board, its spike is inserted into the groove of the previous plank and the kleimer is fixed on the crate rail. With the help of such fasteners, only internal wall cladding is performed.
Before painting the walls on the veranda, it is recommended to apply the selected varnish to a sample of the material and allow it to dry. It happens that after drying, the shade of the coating changes, and it is quite difficult to remove a layer of varnish that does not correspond to the plan. Therefore, it would be better to buy a small container with a paint composition for testing, and if it suits, purchase the rest.
If there is a need to leave the planking wood in its original form, a colorless glaze containing an ultraviolet filter can be applied to it. It will help prevent fading of the walls of the veranda from exposure to the sun.
Exterior decoration of the walls of the veranda
It can be done with lining or siding. Wooden cladding in this regard is somewhat capricious. Despite the treatment of its elements with various antiseptics, when exposed to precipitation, sunlight and seasonal temperature changes, the skin may lose its original appearance if it is not taken care of.
Therefore, every year it will be necessary to carry out various measures to preserve it: impregnation, staining, etc. But if the choice in favor of using wood has already been made, it is important to remember that the horizontal fastening of the outer sheathing boards should be done upward with a spike, fixing them in 2 rows on each side of the lock connection.
The exterior decoration of the walls of the veranda with siding is more good option. This cladding got its name in the 19th century. Planed and painted boards were fastened at an angle to the plane of the wall in such a way that each subsequent horizontal element slightly hung over the previous one. This position of the boards allowed the water to roll down the cladding without delay. Nowadays, siding performs two functions - protective and aesthetic.
Most often, vinyl siding is used for exterior wall cladding. Its popularity is due to ease of installation, practicality and affordable price. Externally, the material looks like an ordinary board, which is used for facade cladding.
However, vinyl will not lose its appearance even after a couple of decades, despite seasonal temperature fluctuations, bitter frosts and heavy rains. In addition, dirt does not stick to this material and maintenance is minimal - only wash off the dust from the lining with a garden hose. Due to the huge number of shades, siding can be matched to any exterior of the house, it will perfectly fit into the overall ensemble everywhere.
Installation of vinyl siding panels is carried out in the following order:
- First you need to make and install a crate for facing the walls of the veranda. This will require an unedged board 30 mm thick or a wooden beam with dimensions cross section 40x50 mm. It must be fixed in a vertical position with a step of 400-500 mm over the entire surface of the walls. Additional wooden blocks should be installed around the windows, at the corners of the veranda, along the upper and lower edges of the future sheathing.
- From below, along the perimeter of the walls in a strictly horizontal position, it is necessary to fix the starting profile to the crate using self-tapping screws.
- After that, you need to install corner profiles around the openings, as well as in all corners of the building. The lower edge of the corner profile should be 5-6 mm below the level of the starting bar.
- Then you should cut the panels. Vinyl can be easily cut with scissors, a hacksaw or an electric jigsaw. Due to the fact that vinyl panels have thermal expansion, each of them must be made shorter than the wall by 5-7 mm.
- After that, the prepared panel must be slightly bent in the center, and its edges should be brought into the grooves of the profiles located at the corners of the wall. Then the panel should be aligned and its lower edge should be brought into the starting profile. The upper edge must be fixed with screws to the crate through special holes.
- Tight pressing of the screw heads to the panel material is unacceptable. The oval shape of the mounting holes is specially designed for free movement of the material relative to the screw part of the fastener with changes in air temperature. There should be a distance of 1.5 mm between the screw head and the crate.
- The next panel must also be inserted into the corner profiles, snapped into the groove of the previous element and fixed to the wall sheathing.
- Before installing the last panel, it is necessary to level the finishing profile on the crate. The panel is then cut to the required width and snapped into the previous skin by simply inserting the free edge of the product into the finishing profile. This is where the wall cladding of the veranda with siding ends.
