One of the most popular types of facing works is finishing of the building siding. But even the great quality of facing material does not save if it is incorrect to execute mounting. Those owners of residential buildings who wish to execute independently facing of facade siding should study information on this question in advance.
To perform finishing work, you will need such tools:
- hammer;
- construction level;
- tape measure;
- plumb;
- square;
- combination pliers;
- hacksaw;
- circular saw.
If is it is installed with use of metal panels, still scissors on metal and also circular saw and Bulgarian drill will be necessary. By means of these tools the siding can be cut as it is required for work. Also protective equipment – points, mittens will be useful.
Fastening of material on facade requires installation of starting profiles – it will help to carry out fixture on surface with any design features. Fastening of finishing rails helps to make wall surface equal and beautiful.
With own hand to execute finishing by siding, it is required to perform work in several stages. The first stage in finishing by siding is preparation and cutting of material. Depending on that, the preliminary stage is how correctly completed, also all subsequent work will depend. It will be required to make the plan competently to distribute material on all surface.
The basis is prepared – the furring device on facade for this purpose is required. As material both boards, and bars, and metal sections will be suitable for it. The basis is stronger, the is more durable and more effective the design will turn out. It is very desirable to cover walls with the warming material – it is better to apply released in the form of roll and with sufficient fortress. Use of too soft material can lead to gradual deformation of surfaces.
At first for fixing such elements are established: corners external and internal, starting profiles, J-profiles. After their installation it is possible to be accepted also to fixing of panels. Between them it is required to leave small gaps, so-called temperature. At placement of panels closely happens so that from increase in temperatures material warps. Fixing of siding is made more often with use of self-tapping screws, but also nails will approach. It is necessary to drive in them not up to the end.
Council: before starting mounting, it is necessary to leave siding for some time "to have a complete rest" at that temperature at which mounting will be carried out. If works are carried out to cold season, it is necessary to increase expansion gap a little more.
When performing finishing work it is necessary to try to avoid tension of panels at their connection. It can lead to material deformation, swellings, other complex problems in elimination. Install panels of the last row not earlier than that moment when finishing is complete and finishing rails are arranged into place. The covering is carried out from below up.
