Features of mounting of socle panels

The plinth front panels for exterior decoration of the house are quite simple to install, and yet there are a few nuances that need to be considered. So, before you start the work, you need to prepare a lath around the perimeter of the socle, which is the basis of the design. The frame on which the panels will be fastened should be no closer than 3-5 cm from the ground or level of the blind area.

If under the siding is planned to lay a heater, the distance from the crate to the wall increases, and there should be a small gap between the heater and the wall so that the structure remains ventilated.
