What siding to choose for plating a wooden house?

The first question that you will have, even at the planning stage is what kind of siding to choose for plating a wooden house ?. The answer must satisfy the practical criteria of exploitation and the economic side of the issue.

The modern market offers many options for materials for siding the house with siding. Among them:

• vinyl;
• metal;
• tree;
• acrylic;
• copper;
• aluminum and others.

Each type of siding has its advantages and corresponding disadvantages. It is not possible to determine unambiguously what siding to choose for plating a wooden house. This is due to the fact that the determining factors of choice are strictly individual for each case. For example, a tree is a very beautiful, but very whimsical material that requires economic costs and constant care. Metal siding is much stronger than aluminum, it has a lower cost, in comparison with wood, and a longer service life, up to 20 years, is easy to install and maintain. If you only bet on the cost, then as the best siding for the cladding of the house you can choose vinyl. The service life of this material is on average up to 50 years. The value of it is defined as one of the most affordable. In addition, plastic siding is resistant to sudden changes in weather conditions and has an attractive appearance. But, nevertheless, you determine the best siding for plating a house for yourself.

Let's say that, according to certain criteria, vinyl siding is suitable for the outer skin of a house. Then it is quite logical to consider the variants of its installation with your own hands.

Siding the house with siding

So, we are going to do the facing of the house. Mounting vinyl siding on a wooden house, almost no different from installing siding on houses with other surfaces. The first thing we start with is the calculation of the required amount of material. To solve this problem it is necessary to approach very seriously, since incorrect calculations entail mistakes in purchases, which translates into unnecessary expenditure of money and energy.

Calculation of material

From the materials we need the following: the outer corners, the internal corners, the starting strip, the J-profile, the window borders, the window castings, the finishing bars, the H-profile. Their standard dimensions are shown in Figure 1. Please note that for mounting the outer corners it is better not to use trimming slats, but it is recommended to use whole panels. Notable joints will be difficult enough to disguise. The required number of siding lamellas is calculated in two ways:

1. We calculate the total area of ​​the walls and subtract door and window openings from it, then divide into the area of ​​one facing panel.
2. This method is more economical, in comparison with the first. To do this, we need a drawing, with which we immediately calculate the number of whole slats and the location where the cuttings will be mounted.

Note that after completing the calculations, you will need to add ten percent of the stock, which will be needed in the event of a material battle and errors in the calculations.

As fastening hardware, stainless steel screws and screwdrivers are used. One square meter of panel requires an average of 20 screws.

Mounting the frame and preparing the walls

1. Before installing the frame, which will be attached to the siding panels, the walls must be cleaned of dirt and fungus, if any. This should be done carefully, because if the development of mold does not stop now, then it will actively progress under the lining.
2. We install a wooden crate for fixing the heater. To do this, we need the wooden beams pre-treated with fire retardant. We check the correctness of the installation by the building level. The frame is fixed horizontally in 40 cm increments. This is due to the width of the siding panel.
3. We make warming of the house with the help of a paralon, above which, by a construction stapler we catch a moisture-proof film.
4. We attach to the insulation counter-crate directly for mounting the siding. It will ensure a smooth surface of the walls. We install this crate vertically with a step of 40 cm. For this we install direct suspensions.
5. We mount the metal frame.
6. We fix the starting strip.
7. After that, set the profile of the outer corner.
8. The gap between the profile and the starting strip should be 6 mm.
9. We install by means of self-tapping panels. The clearance between the crate and the siding should be 1 mm, to compensate for the temperature effect.
10. Mount the siding.
11. The frame of the house is made by fixing the outer corners on the profile of the outer corner. It snaps perfectly.

So we made a siding with you at home.
