This material boasts a number of advantages. Siding does not burn, it is stable to precipitation, wind and frost. In the sun, it does not change color. Even fierce cold (-50 °) or tropical heat (+ 50 °) is not terrible for him. If you plan to make additional insulation of the building, then there will be no problems with this. Panels are made for a different kind of finishing material. For example, the casing of the house with a socle siding with its own hands will look from a distance, like finishing with a natural stone. It is also not difficult to work with him. The wall after the facing can breathe, and the condensate will leave through special holes. Therefore, lately the skin of the house with its own hands by metal or vinyl siding is becoming more popular. Our small instruction will acquaint you with the main stages of this work.
Sheathing of a wooden house with her own hands
- We change the rotten plating, we nail down all the lagging slats and boards. Tinted and impregnated with an antiseptic surface, remove the plants wrapped around the house.
- Further we are engaged in installation of a lath. Depending on how you plan to mount the panels, it can be vertical or horizontal. Always the main slats go perpendicular to the siding. The standard step between them is 40 cm.
- Often the walls of the house are very uneven, but the correct crate will remove this problem.
- It is possible to combine the planking of the log house with siding with its own hands with its warming. Mineral wool is the best option.
- Cutting and laying mineral wools is easy.
- Do not forget to install a vapor barrier after the insulation.
- In the responsible places (corners of the building and the corners of the window opening) it is better to fasten the metal profile instead of the usual wooden beam.
- The profile is mounted on special suspenders, which are screwed to the wall.
- If necessary, it is connected with the "crab" detail.
- First, the profile is done by framing, and then fastened inside it to the wall of the suspension, withstanding the step of 40 cm.
- We lay directly on them minvat in two layers.
- The edges of the hangers will protrude outwards.
- Then to the suspensions we mount vertical racks and close all the vapor barrier.
- The immediate covering of the house with own hands began with vinyl siding. The first below is attached to the ebb.
- We use the required level of work. We fasten the tide with screws through special holes (step - 40 cm). We leave a gap between the cap and the surface of vinyl in 1 mm. The adjacent parts are overlapped, which is equal to at least 25 mm.
- On the screws to the wall we fix strictly the vertical angle (in increments of 20 cm) the outer corner.
- In the same way, we set the inner corners of vinyl.
- Above the ebb, the starting profile is screwed.
- We measure the window and cut the workpiece.
- We fix the elements with screws with a gap.
- We fasten the clypeus to the crate.
- Clypeus is fully installed on the opening.
- An important detail is the finish line.
- It is used to complete the siding of the house with a siding with your own hands, when installing the clypeus or J-chamfer.
- In our case, the finishing strip is under the cornice.
- Another necessary element is the J-profile.
- It can serve as an auxiliary part or as an ornamental decoration (on soffits, on a vertical surface, under a roof).
- J-chamfer is needed for the planking of the wind board, the cornice and the frontal overhang.
- Between the overhang of the roof and the wall of the house, a molding resembling a plinth is installed.
- Between the molding and the J-bevel we fasten the spotlights.
- After installing vertical accessories, you can attach horizontal siding panels. The first of them is installed in the starting bar and screwed with screws to the crate (step 40 cm).
- Next panel carefully insert the previous element into the lock and repeat the installation.
- The last panel snaps into the finish profile.
- The siding of the house is finished with the siding.
