The technology for finishing the outer walls of the building has recently taken a big step forward. Thanks to various new materials, you can currently make the facade of the building of any configuration, having achieved excellent indicators of energy efficiency and the life of the structure. Recently, ventilated facades have been very popular.

Features of lining technology
The essence of this technology is that between the wall of the building and the external finishing material, the air gap is left. Thanks to it, thermal conductivity of the house is significantly reduced, which makes it more comfortable for living, and, most importantly, energy -efficient. The air gap prevents the appearance of condensate on the surface of the wall or insulation, which, in turn, protects the walls from the fungus and dampness. This is especially important for wooden houses for which excess moisture is destructive. It is worth noting that the ventilated facades look quite attractive, and can refresh the appearance of any, even the oldest and most dilapidated building. Due to their technical characteristics, they became popular in the construction of technological and industrial buildings.
One of the most popular materials for the installation of ventilated facades is corrugated board. It is a galvanized sheet of steel, which is rolled up in a special way, due to which it becomes wavy. Initially, this material was used to install a roof instead of an asbestos saffer, since it had much less weight and the best operational characteristics. Then the excellent properties of the profiled sheet began to be used for decoration of houses.
Marking of corrugated board
In order to choose the right corrugated board for the finish of the house, it is necessary to understand the marking of this material.
The first parameter in the marking of the corrugated board indicates its purpose. For the installation of the ventilated facade, a wall corrugated board is necessary, which is indicated by the letter "C". Further in the label marking, the height of the wave, the width of the sheet and the thickness of the steel are indicated. That is, the marking C8 1150 0.6 means that in front of you is a sheet of wall corrugated board with a width of 1150 mm, with a thickness of steel 0.6 mm and a wave height of 8 mm. To finish the walls of the building, as a rule, sheets of brands C8, C21, C44 are used.
Most manufacturers make special painting of the product, which improves operational characteristics. According to experts, the facade, mounted from corrugated board, with the exposure of installation technology, can serve without problems for more than 50 years.
Advantages and disadvantages of corrugation with corrugated board
The positive aspects of the use of corrugated board as a decoration of the external walls of the house should include:
- Long life of the material. The corrugated board does not require much attention. It is easily washed, preserving its appearance over a long period of time. In addition, you can easily change the color of the facade by simply repainting it.
- The speed of installation. Unlike plaster, the finish of the house using the ventilated facade technology takes much less time, with a better result, especially if it is done by professionals who know how to sheathe the house with a profiled sheet.
- Energy efficiency. Due to the air layer, such walls perfectly hold the temperature, which significantly saves funds, in the summer - on air conditioning, and in winter on heating.
- Due to the design of the ventilated facade, you can strengthen the walls of the building, which is especially important for old buildings made of wood and brick.
Of the weaknesses, such technology should be noted the cost of the material itself. In addition to the corrugated board itself, you will need to purchase guides for the design of the facade, fastener, insulation (mineral wool), and waterproofing material that protect the insulation
Stages of work
It is better to entrust the lining of the house with a corrugated board to specialists, although the production of these work does not require any special knowledge.
First of all, you need to assess the amount of material that you will need taking into account fasteners and metal structures. Further, depending on the size of the sheet, you need to make a drawing in order to understand the location of the structural elements and clarify the amount of fasteners. In addition, you need to calculate the number of additional elements that include: castings, parapets, cornices, angles, slopes and others.
Depending on the material from which the house is built, the technology for installing casing from corrugated board will differ. Next, we will consider how to sheathe a house with a corrugated board with your own hands, depending on the material of the walls.
Bill a wooden house by corrugated board
The sheathing of a wooden house by corrugated board is a fairly popular technology in construction. With all the advantages of wood, as a building material, it is too susceptible to the influence of the external environment. A wooden building that has not been protected by lining has a service life of no more than 30 years, while houses sheathed with corrugated board, the photos of which can be seen on specialized sites, serve twice as much.
You need to understand that corrugated board is not attached directly to the tree, for its installation it is necessary to create an additional design. This is the problem for wooden houses. The fact is that the design, along with cladding, has a large weight, which causes a load on the structural elements of the house. Therefore, experts recommend making a hotel frame for sheathing a wooden house. This will make it possible not only to reduce the load on the walls, but also to make them stronger.
The work is carried out in the following order:
- First of all, the frame is equipped. For its installation, metal structures are used, which are attached to the walls using special brackets, and to the base of the house (foundation). During installation using the level, we check the verticality of the guides, otherwise it will be difficult to dock it when installing a corrugated sheet. Depending on the thickness of the insulation, the guides should be installed at such a distance from the wall so that after the installation of corrugated board, there is an air gap between it and the insulation.
- Next, we begin the installation of insulation plates. To do this, it is better to use mineral wool sheets. We fasten them with dowels with pucks of large diameter. Next, we cut so that there are no big cracks between them.
- Then we install waterproofing over the insulation. She must protect him from the external environment.
- The last step is the house with a corrugated board, the video of the process can be found on the Internet, and set the additional elements. There is no fundamental difference how to fix the sheets: waves horizontally or vertically. There are several design solutions when the cladding was carried out by the wave diagonally. However, such a sheathing technique is too heavy and it will be quite difficult to make it with your own hands.
- To the guide metal structures, corrugated board is attached using special self -tapping screws with a rubber washer. It prevents moisture under the sheet. When drilling the hole, the varnishing coating of the corrugated board is spoiled, and so that it does not succumb to corrosion, it is better to tint the mounting place with paint. Conductive elements should be fixed to the metal structure of the frame. They are not allowed to mount to the sheet.
Decoration of a brick house by corrugated board
Installation of corporate walls on brick walls is carried out in the same order. The only difference is that such requirements are not put forward to the design of the frame for the entire system as when lining a wooden house. Also, a brick has not so good thermal conductivity in comparison with the tree, and if the masonry of the house is made in “2 bricks”, then the insulation can not be used.
Construction of buildings and houses from corrugated board
Thanks to the appearance of this excellent material, it became possible to build frame houses and structures. Their essence is that the walls are being built in the form of a metal skeleton. The corrugated board is attached to it outside, and OSB slabs from the inside. Inside between the corrugated board and OSB, a layer of mineral wool is mounted. Such buildings are quite warm, and, most importantly, have a greater installation speed. During the construction of garages, sheds and other utility rooms, insulation can not be carried out.
