Every good owner who decided to engage in building a home with his own hands is faced with a choice of material for facing cladding. And this is a kind of selection of “clothes” for your home. And by what criteria do you usually pick up your clothes? In addition to convenience, this list most likely includes aesthetics and wear resistance. It is important to take into account the same parameters when choosing a facade facade. Decorativeness, wall protection from atmospheric influence and pollution. Siding – a material that fully satisfies all these requests. Moreover, today there are a large number of its varieties and colors, and this allows you to satisfy any, even the most exquisite, taste.
Siding owes their appearance to the residents of North America, who back in the 19th century began to peculiarly beat up pre -painted strict boards to the walls. They had them at such an angle that the next layer of the boards would hang over the previous. This location contributed to the better rolling of water on the cladding, which protected the walls from the harmful effects of moisture. The essence of the method of such a sheathing remained unchanged to the present day, but in the variety of materials it has been added. Vinyl, metal and cement facade panels began to produce in the USA and Canada back in the 50s of the last century. Vinyl siding won the most popular from this trinity. This is not surprising: practically does not require care, cheap, durable, aesthetic and easy. On the last point, Vinyl firmly fixed the advantage over the metal or, especially, cement. In the case of steel siding, which is most often used at industrial facilities, the main advantages are durability (service life can be 50 years), strength and increased resistance to temperature and chemical influences. Cement siding is used on houses with increased fire requirements.
So if you decide to clad the facade of your home siding, this is an exceptionally correct choice. The laminate will be the best option for flooring in your home. But we will talk about this in our following articles.
