However, before you start the lining of the walls, you need to install the lathing, auxiliary elements and edging the apertures .
- When the crate is ready, the finish begins at the inner and outer corners. In this case, the angle is composite. It is necessary to put strips of silicone sealant on the inside of the corner. The J-profile is fixed on each side of the corner, it remains to mount the workpiece on the corner of the house. Fasteners are produced by self-tapping screws. On the siding they are screwed not to the end in the middle of the provided holes.
- For internal angles, two closely joined J-profiles are used, one for each wall, and in our case a profile of different colors. Fixation is carried out by screws according to the same principle.
- Next, the starting profile is mounted. The cutting is done by the Bulgarian. The gap between the slats is about 6 mm in the case of temperature expansion.
- For the cladding of external overhangs, plastic safes will be needed. Cutting is done by a Bulgarian, assembling due to a screwdriver with self-tapping screws. Then the frontal board is fixed. Cornice overhang can be without a frontal board, then you will need J-profiles.
- It is necessary to proceed with the design of door and window openings. Begin by setting the tide and the finish profile along the perimeter of the window. Starting from the top, set the window profile. Cut the sheets, install and secure with hardware.
