Finishing the foundation basement siding with your own hands

Finishing the foundation in a private house is a sufficiently efficient process, since this part of the building is in close proximity to the level of land. Due to this, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the technologies of coating, but also the quality of materials. Among the modern species of facing flooring the greatest demand is used by the base siding. This type of material has a favorable value ratio, technical characteristics and durability.

Types of facing material for foundation

To arrange the outside of the foundation foundation, you can use various types of materials. The following types of coatings are among the most common:

1. Plaster is the most common option of the trim of the base, which is characterized by low price and poor performance.
2. Artificial or natural stone is quite aesthetic, durable and durable material, which has a high cost.
3. Decorative panels - an expensive type of coating with high aesthetic value and wear resistance.
4. Brick - material is durable, but requires a difficult attitude in the process of cladding.
5. The tile is a relatively inexpensive type of material, but it is not too durable and requires a labor-intensive process of cladding.
6. Siding is an affordable, resistant coating, which has a wide variability of colors and textures.

Benefits of cladding siding

Finishing the foundation baseline siding is the most optimal version of the house facing. This material is a vinyl panel, a texture and pattern of which simply imitate natural stone or brick. Such a coating is absolutely not sensitive to the negative effects of ultraviolet rays and moisture, and also can withstand temperature fluctuations from -50 ° C to +50 ° C. Consider more detailed advantage of cladding cladding Siding:

• this type of coating has low weight, due to which it does not create an additional load on the bearing wall of the building;
• due to the fact that the material includes special additives, siding is very plastic and can withstand several cycles of expansion and compression under the action of temperatures;
• such a coating protects the base from moisture from entering, as well as quickly and easily mounted on the base;
• siding is resistant to mechanical and physical exposure;
• the coating has a long service life - about 50 years, while the panels do not require additional protection in the form of applying paints and varnishes;
• finishing the foundation Siding compolates to ensure proper ventilation of the base level;
• the material has low thermal conductivity indicators, due to which heat is securely held inside the building;
• the variability of textures and texture solutions allows you to issue a facade of the building according to an individual and original project.

Features of the process of cladding siding

This type of material is universal, since it is suitable for mounting works on any surface. Modern manufacturers offer a wide variety of baseline siding, which can imitate both natural stone and brickwork, slate, ship timing. At the same time, the coating is very practical in care and for its cladding will not be required to have special knowledge or skills.

However, finishing the foundation siding with your own hands, as well as any other facing process, has some features. Consider them in more detail:

1. Panels from such a material can be mounted exclusively on the vertical plane of the facade. For this reason, the upper horizontal surface of the wall is not recommended for siding.
2. The foundation finish should be made in a clear sequence: the laying of the panels is performed from the left corner of the building to the right, starting from the installation of the starting plank.
3. To provide an additional insulation, it is desirable to use non-foil materials for facing a base level, but "breathing". They need to be laid under the saidding panels.
4. It should be taken into account possible changes in the geometric parameters of the surface, which arise due to temperature differences in the summer / winter time. To do this, it is necessary to provide a small gap at the junctions between the panels themselves, as well as fair coating elements.
5. It is forbidden to install siding on an unprepared surface. Bashed panels can be exclusively on the crate or plywood shields that the base is trimmed.
6. Fastening, which serve to hold the coating on the surface, it is necessary to deepen at least 10-13 mm. At the same time, fasteners should be installed in the heart of a specially provided opening.
7. Do not screw the fasteners until it stops, it is better to leave a small gap - approximately 1.5-2.2 mm.

Important! To calculate the required number of siding panels to cover the base of your home, it is necessary to follow this principle: the Metage of each wall in width must be divided by the length of one facing panel, after which the data is summed up. As for the height of the foundation level, there is enough one siding fragment here. If the base is overestimated, you will need to multiply the result obtained in the first calculation by 1.5.

Phased installation of material

Before you begin to finish the foundation of the house by siding, you should carefully prepare the surface of the wall. As noted earlier, the primary task is to install the crate. So, the process of frame formation is as follows:

1. Initially, the fastener base should be fixed on the base on which the panels will be held. It can be made of wood or galvanized metal profile. The second option is more reliable and durable.
2. For consistent movements, attach a profile barcass to the frame so that they are in a horizontal position. Use the construction level to check.

3. If you intend to use panels in one row in height to cover the base level, then you will need fragments with a width of 45-47 cm. At the same time, the framework of the metallopillery crates must be built of three lines - under the top edge of the siding panel, in the middle and near the base of the base.
4. The fixation of the slats occurs through the screws and dowels, the length of which should be at least 8-10 cm.
5. After that, it is necessary to install the challenges (starting and finishing strips, stripes, etc.), as well as directly siding.
6. Mounting the starting strip of the facing coating is necessary on the crate so that it is located strictly horizontally. Self-tapping screws are used for fixing, and the distance between the mounts should be about 30 cm.
7. When the facing reaches the angle of the building, it is necessary to fix the angular element, which is mounted to the crate of the same method. The battery on the angular band should be at least 1 cm.

8. At the end of the process of the trim, the finishing bar must be consolidated, which looks like a decorative siding fragment.
9. After that, you can proceed to the facing of the entire base. The first coating panel is inserted into the grooves of the original strip and moves into the angular element so that a small gap remains.
10. Then the second panel is installed. To do this, make a reference bar and move it close to the first siding fragment. Everything is fixed by analogy with the previous way.
11. By the same principle there is a covering of the entire base.

Important! If necessary, the last element of the facing coating can be slightly shorten, then attach it to the crate. Only after that the finishing corner plate is set.
