Attention facades cottages are paying more attention, because The volume of construction of suburban housing increases every year. People seek to leave the rich fuss of the metropolis, having moved closer to areas with a clean ecology. Cottage villages, houses in the village, cottage is becoming more and more.

What requirements are presented?

The position of the owner of the cottage can be determined by the arrangement of the appearance of its structure. The facades of the cottages are trusted a large role in the security of buildings:

• prevent the penetration of unborn guests, insects, birds, animals;
• protect its indoor premises from natural whims.

Ways finish

TOthe riterion should be the combination of the hot desire of the owner in creating a specific style with its financial capabilities. To begin with, it is required to competently design design.

Still on the advanced positions of the classic genre: brick, stone, tree. Moreover, the increased desire of mankind to return to the natural purity of building materials determines the demand for them.

Real estate owners with a small budget will help facing methods that imitate natural analogues. They are an order of magnitude cheaper, and visually very similar.

There is also a combined finish option connecting the classic style and new trends - plaster. This species remains in demand by consumers.

Finishing plastering mixture

What is this finishing material? In the concept of previous generations, this is a solution consisting of cement, sand. They aligned the surfaces of the walls for subsequent finish-treatment, embedded chips.

Consider plasterers that enjoy the greatest demand in consumers.

Acrylic. One of the inexpensive options. Water-dispersion mixture consisting of sand, stone crumb, coloring pigments. All these components bind the resin acrylic.

Apply the acrylic mixture on one side of the facade is quickly, immediately covering the entire area. If you continue to work after a break, the new finish is noticeably different from the previous area of \u200b\u200bthe coating. ABOUTthe formation of acrylic plaster is performed by several people, which significantly speeds up the cladding.

Material has the following disadvantages:

- susceptibility to the sun rays,

- A short time of "work". Manufacturers usually give a guarantee of 15 years.

- Bad compatibility with a metal surface.

Preverse Acrylic:

1. Acceptable price.
2. Not afraid of mechanical impact.
3. Indifferent to temperature differences, atmospheric precipitation and aggressive media.
4. Moisture resistance, vapor permeability.
5. Different color spectrum.

Contaminated facades covered in this way are easy to wash. Acrylic plaster completely dries over a day at a temperature of about + 20 ° C.

Cement. Inexpensive finish type. There are two types of cement-based mixtures.

1. Cement-sand mix.
2. Cement-limestone.

The first consists of cement brands M150-500, sand, career or river. The following strict requirements are imposed on the latter component: its grains should be average in magnitude. Peschinki such fractions can provide a smooth surface of the design. To enhance the working qualities of plastering into the mixture, plasticizers are added, which give it the necessary elasticity, strength, adhesion, moisture resistance, other positive working qualities. Denote the advantage of this species.

• Long operation.
• INrelationship with plastering material: brick, stone, tree.
• Phousing.
• Wear resistance.

The cement-limestone mixture consists of cement M400 or 500, sand, additives, but lime is added to these components. The latter weights the mass of the solution compared with the first view. Her advantages:

• Phousing.
• Convenience in work. The mixture is slowly sealing (about 3 hours), which allows you to finish without a rush.
• Complies with the rules of fire safety: the material does not burn, not toxic.
• Plastic.
• It has good adhesive properties.
• Does not forms mold, fungi.

Disadvantages - higher cost, limited in shades. E.that can be easily eliminated by spending painting work.

There is another kind of cement-lime mixture. It includes portland cement, marble or granite crumb. ABOUTcalled Mineral. Beforebavier - plasticizers, hydrophobic components - significantly improve its working quality. It is moisture-resistant, transfers low minus temperatures, atmospheric precipitation.

A distinctive feature of mineral plaster is called the rapid frozen mixture for 15-20 minutes. If the thickness of the applied layer is greater than 20 mm, the installation of the reinforced grid is required.

Using the advantages of its characteristics, it is used to cover fire hazardous coatings, such as wood.

Mineral plaster has an excellent design. There are several types of drawings that are obtained on the surface after applying: a croroede, groove, fur coat, lamb, travertine.

The disadvantages can be considered its dependence on vibration, voltages. It is not recommended to apply for decoration of buildings located near railways, metro, in adverse seismic places. The service life is relatively small - about ten years.

Silicate. This mixture includes sodium silicates, potassium, coloring pigments, mineral fillers. Stuccoing is durable, provides vapor permeability. It can be used to cover gas-silicate, aerated concrete materials.

Denote its advantages:

1. Large working resource -25 years.
2. It is not afraid of humidity, protects internal materials from it.
3. Stable before mechanical exposure.
4. It has a variety of types of textures.
5. It has good elasticity.
6. Excellent wardrock.

Among negative qualities, you can note the ability to burn off in the sun, the rapid grasp of the solution. Silicate plaster perfectly "falls" on a similar material. For other species, pre-primer is required, which increases the cost of work as a result.

Silicone. A relatively new method of finishing. It is based on silicone resins that attach reliability. The advantages of this type of decoration are the following factors.

• Excellent appearance. Various design methods allow you to create an original texture.
• "Indifference" to temperature differences, solar ultraviolet.
• Stability with mechanical contacts.
• Excellent water resistance.
• Silicone plaster - a good antistatic, not collecting dust on its surface.

Finishing brick

Eternally young "classic". It is suitable for creating a facade in an eclectic style with a slope in a retro style or for other, more modern directions of architecture.

The construction industry offers a brick of different colors, depending on its components. When designing, the designer can offer the developer options in the monocet or in a combined form, where the light stone alternates with classic red.

The houses are made of bricks are distinguished by the correct forms, have an abundance of positive properties that their inhabitants can use.

1. Lifetime - up to 150 years.
2. Brick - breathe. This means the circulation of humidity from the inside of the house on the street, air flow into the room.
3. In the natural purity of the material you can not doubt.
4. Brick - meets all the requirements of fire safety.

For the refreshment of the exterior, cleaning it from dirt, you can "slip" the brick facade with water from the hose - it is not afraid of moisture.

Finishing with ceramory

Artificially made stone produced from natural components. A similar product has become recently applied in cladding, about thirty years ago, but has already been greatly popular. This is a mounted view of the facade finish, in which free space remains between the ceramic tiles and the bearing wall. It is used to install insulation, and also provides air circulation that levels the formation of mold, condensate. Such a finish method has a second name - Ventfasad. The porcelain stamographic material is placed on metal constructions by curvators.

The material for it is a special clay, quartz sand, field sword. The plates are made by pressing, further firing at a temperature of about +1 300 ° C. Thickness, dimensions of one part can vary. The tile is 8-10 mm thick, with dimensions of 600 x 600 mm.

Pluses of porcelain stoneware:

• The exceptional strength of the material equal to the characteristics of the stone cladding.
• No moisture, sun, mechanical impacts are afraid.
• It has an excellent aesthetic appearance.
• Long service life.
• Various options for outer surface: matte, polished, polished, rustic.

Stone finish

The stone retains heat inside the cottage, provides reliable home protection for many decades. There are artificial substitutes of natural building materials - products from cement or gypsum.

The high-quality exterior finish of a country house gives it a presentable and tidy look. It is very important at the same time not only correctly pick up materials, but also professionally approach repair tasks. The facade and the base of the cottage must be separated after the completion of roofing works. Moscow construction artel carries out external decoration of houses in accordance with the requirements of GOST and SNIP. We strictly follow the safety of the materials used and use only the most efficient and economical technologies.

What materials are used for the exterior trim of the country house?

The modern market offers many options for the design of the cottage that will give it water-repellent and heat-insulating properties. The external finish of the country house can be made using the following materials:

1. Plaster - It may be based on cement, acrylic, silicone, etc. It aligns the walls, strengthens and insulates them. Often, reinforcement technology is used to give greater strength. You need to choose exclusively plaster for outdoor work, not might of it with varieties for the internal trim of the cottage that cannot withstand temperature differences.
2. Siding. This material is attractive available to the cost and simplicity of installation. The external trim of cottages in this way allows you to build a facade with ventilation, which can also be inspired.
3. Stone, tile, porcelain. These finish materials belong to the costly category, so they are less in demand. Also working with them requires a certain experience and skill. With the slightest error, the wall can collapse, so the finish is better to immediately entrust to those skilled in the art.
4. Decorative brick. May be of various shapes and colors. Its masonry occurs in the same sequence as in ordinary brick. It is very aesthetic and allows you to equip thermal insulation between the wall and the layer of finishing.
5. Ventilated facades. This option is considered to be relatively new, but it has already had many fans, as it is simply installed on any kind of surfaces, it is easily repaired, it looks attractive and allows the walls to ventilate.

In this way, the exterior finish of the country house provides large space for the fantasy of the owner of the building and designer. Our masters are ready to help you when choosing materials and their installation, warranty is provided for all work. We produce all types of construction work in Moscow and the region, ranging from

Today, different external finishing technologies are used and there is a wide selection of building materials. If we consider this range in the ratio of "price-quality-durability", the choice can be easily reduced to several options. We told about the advantages of the most modern and technological fibro-cement panels in the previous article. The queue is much more "mass" - plaster, siding and simulator of the bar.

Exterior finish of a country house

Outdoor decoration of houses plaster has widespread and is a traditional type of finish in all regions. Often you can hear the term "wet facade". "Wet" because the materials used are applied in the form of a mixture of filler with water. The facade of the house is covered with several layers of plaster, a strengthened alkaline mesh made of fiberglass.

The first layer of plaster is applied to the primed surface of the walls thin (4-5 mm) or a thick layer (30-40 mm). The surface is ground so that water from the solution does not absorb the material of the walls and participated in the set of strength of the material of the plaster. The light layer is performed by cement or silicate plaster. We clarify that in view of the higher quality of the materials used in the last years of the materials and standards of construction, the plaster with a layer of 50 mm and the reinforcement of the layers of the iron grid remained in the past.

The finishing layer of plaster can be made of a variety of materials. It can be just a facade paint, a mixture of mineral fillers or plaster with decorative texture. All of the above coating options are distinguished by the service life, as well as the frequency of maintenance and repair.

Separately, mention about the so-called "warm plaster". This is the most modern way that combines and finishing, and the insulation of the walls of a country house. In fact, it is a building mixture, which combines insulation fillers and their binders.

"Warm Plaster" seriously increases the energy efficiency of outdoor designs of the house. After frozen on the walls, a significant layer of the material is additionally formed, which literally stuffed with insulation additives. "Warm plaster" is justified where the external dimensions of the facade have limitations or base unsuitable for installation of slab materials.

Facing the walls with wooden trim board or hinged panels (hinged ventilated facades) is a very common technology of external finishing of country houses. It is also one of the most effective ways in the struggle for the durability of the supporting structures of the house. Is the whole thing in ventilation, which is ensured by the presence of a gap between the wall and finishing material installed on 20-100 mm from the carrier wall. Due to convection in the gap, an excess moisture is derived and an air buffer is formed preventing heat outflow. The most common material for ventilated facades is siding. In modern construction, its various types are used: wooden, vinyl (PVC), metallic, fibro-cement (see article « » ) . Siding provides good windproof and moisture insulation, and its service life reaches 50 years. You can catch the house of any design, while the structure acquires a neat and attractive appearance.

Siding from a tree - a trim board or lining. Simple, cheap and comfortable material for outdoor finishing of a country house. Facing the walls of lining is easy to execute, it is possible to perform it yourself, if you own even the elementary skills of working with wood. The boards are connected to each other with grooves and crest (on opposite ribs of the board), and then nails are attached to the pre-installed cladder on the wall. The disadvantages of the lining can take the need to periodically paint it to support the appearance and protect against rotting. In addition, the lining is a fire-hazardous material.

Vinyl siding is relatively cheap, so today it is massively used when cladding one- or two-storey country houses and cottages. It is made from polychlorvinyl and is environmentally friendly. It has different color and shape. For the grounds of the house use panels "under the brick" and "under natural stone". To cover the same walls, the panels with the texture "under the tree" are often used. Siding from vinyl does not require additional painting, does not burn, not exposed to chemicals and insects - cores that destroy wood.

Vinyl panels are available from 2 to 6 meters long and a width of 20-50 cm. Facade finishing technology from siding is not much different from the assembly of the clapboard. Panels are inserted alone to the other and fasten with the help of screws, screws or nails through special holes.

It is worth noting that Siding PVC is not repaired and requires a mandatory replacement when cracking, in addition, vinyl (like a tree) tends to expand and narrowed with sharp temperature drops.

Metal siding is made of galvanized steel or aluminum alloy and is covered with paint and varnish materials. Metal siding is most often used in industrial construction. With the exception of the regions of the Far North of Russia, where PVC panels do not withstand low temperatures and crack, there metal siding is used everywhere for lining of residential buildings. Care for such material is extremely simple: the facades are enough to wash with water from the hose, and the house will acquire the original appearance.

The imitation of a bar appeared on the country house-building market relatively recently and has already managed to become one of the most popular options for outdoor cottages. The material has excellent environmental properties and a pleasant natural appearance, which creates a harmonious atmosphere of unity with nature. For its manufacture, as a rule, coniferous species of trees (pine or larch) and cedar are used. There are also more expensive wood species, of which also make imitation - oak, beech, etc. When choosing a simulator's material, it is worth considering the climatic features of your region. So for the wet climate of the North-West Russia, the material from larch is best.

The timber simulator is a wooden panel with a length of 2 to 6 meters and a width of 135-195 mm, equipped with a spike-groove system and mounted on the wall, externally similar to a true folded timber. This material is excellent for the exterior decoration of the walls of houses consisting of various materials: wood, brick, concrete, foam blocks, etc. The simulator fastener is performed after mounting the insulation, waterproofing film and the installation of a wooden crate. A fairly simple installation of the material and its adequate value attracts homeowners, so the relevance of using the simulation of the bar is growing every year!

The timber simulator has a number of positive qualities. First, it is safe for health, as it is natural and environmentally friendly. Secondly, durable: the life of the simulator can last decades, of course, with proper installation and subsequent care. The simulator has excellent heat and sound insulation due to the special properties of wood - the winter house with such a facade will be better maintained heat, and in the summer, on the contrary, to prevent its penetration into the room. The simulator panels have a small weight that facilitates the transportation of the material and its subsequent installation. Such material can be used both for exterior and internal work during the construction of a country house. Finally, the timber simulator will give your cottage presentable appearance, the facades will look neat and stylish.

We add to the foregoing that the woody nature of the simulator material requires care. Panels must be periodically handled by antiseptic means, varnishes, etc.

In conclusion, we note that in any case, the choice of facing material needs to be considered with full responsibility, since it directly depends on your preference to how warm and cozy your country house will be, and how many years he will serve its owners.

Before planning changes to the external appearance of an existing object or design of the initial outdoor finish of the facade of a private house, it is worth familiar with modern legislative prohibitions and requirements for the work produced.

Requirements for work

In order to understand the question, all buildings can be divided into three conventional types: IZhS, apartment building and buildings with historical value.

Facing

Control over the implementation of the prescriptions are carried out by various local authorities. Each region has its own procedure for the development and coordination of all project documentation for ILS, but the provisions on fire safety and constructive requirements in most of them are the same.

Practice shows that the developer faces problems in the process of accepting the object by the Commission only with the most gross violations. In most cases, the methods and finishing materials of the facade do not affect the rate of commissioning.

Despite this, learning regional prescriptions will be far from superfluous, since all the rules and norms specified in them are necessary, first of all for security.

When agreeing outdoor layout, the requirements for the quality of materials and work performed is much tougher. No matter how the type of insulation, the carrier and decorative coating is not selected - builders and designers do not have the right to go beyond the very hard framework. First of all, it concerns measures to prevent the propagation of possible fire and the collapse of the walls.

Amendments to the appearance of an existing building is a full redevelopment and implies prior approval in the city architecture department. In addition to the above security requirements, local authorities have the right to prescribe the use of certain color, designer or design solutions aimed at ensuring that the finished result successfully fit into the appearance of the city.

Decoration of construction having historical value

To reconstruct the appearance of such a structure, it is necessary to obtain the resolution of local authorities and many different instances, which is impossible without providing the results of a comprehensive study of the object - from the foundation and soil under it to the bearing ability of walls and major structures. In the agreed project, all the steps to preserve or return the building of the historical appearance, the restoration of individual elements and so on will be described in detail.

Private House Facade Facing Criteria

Each homeowner has its own priorities in choosing one or another method of decoration. Of course, the ideal would be an option that combines all possible advantages, but in reality you have to choose the most important criteria for the consumer.

Affordable price

Only in very rare cases, the cost does not affect preference. Moreover, the range of proposals on the market ranges from the supereconomic PVC siding to a rather expensive tile of natural stone.

Practice shows that it is not worth paying attention only to the price of a square meter of coating. Some of the most budget coatings require a fairly expensive annual care or at all have a small lifespan, which reduces all possible savings to zero.

For some, expensive surface preparation is required, others are quite expensive roads. Only considering the prospect of long-term exploitation and the cost of all stages of work, it is worth a conclusion about the ultimate benefit of any option.

Reliability, safety and durability

First of all, the facing is the protection of the building from aggressive environmental impact: frost, heat, UV radiation, wind, moisture, etc. All materials react to all factors in different ways. Depending on the region, the construction is worth choosing a coating, the most sustainable specific weather features. For the northern regions, frost resistance and temperature differences are important for the southern - on the contrary, resistance to burnout and high temperatures. If this parameters are made correctly, the construction will last the maximum possible amount of years for its characteristics.

It is equally important to ensure the safety of the selected coating of wall-flammability, the ability to highlight hazardous substances into the surrounding atmosphere and the presence of poisonous compounds in the composition. To do this, it is necessary at the preliminary stage to carefully examine the supplied certificates and check the goods for compliance with GOST and SNIP.

Aesthetics, exterior design of the facades of cottages

Each homeowner still at the project stage appears its vision of the appearance of the future at home. Fortunately, today the range of facing varieties allows you to not limit your fantasy. The idea of \u200b\u200bbeautiful is so individually that any tips and farewell lose all meaning.

For someone, beauty is in nobility of natural bricks with a contrasting latch of seams, and for someone - in the radiance of metal and glass or bright plaster with an unusual texture. Today you can see projects in which the classic shape with innovative, daring walls or, on the contrary, minimalist architecture with traditional, restrained execution are successfully combined.

In addition to the main, there is a mass of less significant criteria: the coefficient of insulation of the building, the possibility of self-installation, the light weight of the whole design and much more. Each house, like his owner, is unique, and there is no universal recipe that is suitable for everyone. Only a painstaking issue will allow everyone to choose the appropriate option.

The most popular materials for facade finishes

Every year, more and more new varieties of facing of exterior walls appear. Periodically flashes the fashion for certain color combinations - looking at the development of the ILS of different years, you can easily track down, as the preferences change over the years.

The construction market exists like immortal leaders with a rich history in modern design - brickwork, clinker tiles, plaster; So very young, almost unknown to the consumer Type of building materials - Facade wallpapers, metal cassettes and thermopanels.

Each of them deserves a more detailed analysis with identifying both pros and minuses of various options.

Finishing facades cottages brick

The brick as a outer shell performs several functions at once: protects, insulates, ensures a beautiful look of the structure and derives excess moisture. Some are able to exist in masonry up to 100 years or more. All this allows the brick facing to remain in the top of the best front solutions all over the world. Modern brickwork decoration can be performed even in the style of High-Tech due to the unusual appearance of some models.

Types of products differ from each other. Features:

Clinker is the most expensive, but also the most durable gas-silicate block. The highest rates of frost resistance and density indicators, low water absorption and record durability cause many of them to stop their choice on it.

The minuses at the clinker are a bit - it is a time-consuming and long process of masonry associated with low water absorption, increased thermal conductivity (0.5-0.7 W / m * c) and not at all budget value.

Ceramic is a classic clay stone, which is available today in a wide palette of shades. Blocks can be rectangular or complex shape, with beveled or rounded corners; They can be covered with multi-colored glossy icing or an affected layer; The surface of the block can be both glossy and smooth and deliberately coarse, with chips and splashes.

Due to the presence of emptiness in the body, the ordinary facial unit has low weight and quite low cost.

Silicate - In contrast to clay products, this unit does not upset the developer with debris, its geometrical dimensions do not have deviations from the specified, and the price still remains the lowest among all other varieties.
Of the minuses of silicate, it is worth highlighting high thermal conductivity and water absorption, due to which this brick is vulnerable to moisture and does not keep warm.

Any of the above-listed types of brick facing requires preparatory work at the construction stage of the foundation, since the masonry should only be produced on a predetermined foundation ledge and in the process to communicate with the carrier walls and special bookmarks.

If the facilities of the building do not allow to bind a concrete structure with bricks, it is not necessary to despair, because today there are worthy alternatives in the form of clinker tiles and PVC panels, with which you can successfully imitate beautiful masonry.

Options for facade finish of a country house with plaster

This method is suitable for almost any partitions: brick, stone, gas-silicate and even wooden. There are a huge amount of plaster mixtures, and they all differ significantly from each other with the main characteristics.

Mineral. The composition of mineral plasters includes marble, quartz or granite crumb. They are distinguished by high vapor permeability, damage to fungus, frost resistance and durability.The choice of color is not too rich, but already ready, the plastered surface can always be painted in the selected color.

Acrylic. Made of acrylic polymer resins. The most plastic type of plasterers that does not crack over time. The mixture goes well on the surface and hydrophobizes it, protecting against atmospheric precipitation. There are coverage and cons - faster than others fade into the sun, attracts dust to itself and has very low vapor permeability. This means that acrylic cannot be covered by gas-silicate and concrete walls to avoid moisture accumulation.

Silicate. Safe, non-smell solution of potassium silicate and sodium suitable for applying concrete, stone, aerated concrete and brick partitions, as well as insulation of polystyrene foam.In contrast to acrylic - silicate gas permeable, antistatic, and, it means, does not attract pollution and fireproof. The main minus is a rapid rejection, which is solved by kneading and the instantage of small batches of the solution.

Silicone. Silicone resins in the coating have a self-leveling effect, make it elastic and durable. Parry permeability, moisture resistance and excellent adhesion to the base make silicone - one of the most reliable and modern species. To push the buyer only the high product price of the product. The advantages of two species at once have universal silicate silicone mixtures.

Cement. The most economical and simple option. Most often, a similar solution is used to align the walls, eliminate defects and creating a base for a more decorative finishing processing. But today it is increasingly and more often to see the decoration of the cement mixture - the creation of a masonry imitation and various textured surfaces. The advantages are: the low price, the possibility of independent manufacture and improve the characteristics of various additives, strength and durability. The inconvenience will only be the need to work quickly - the solution begins to be captured immediately after applying.

Plaster - This is a modern finishing material for the facade of a private house, which is able to protect the building from the impact of external factors and give him an attractive appearance.

Facade siding - "Boards" and panels

Variations of this coating came to us from North America at the beginning of zero and rapidly won the market. The inexpensive and easy-to-install finishing material is able to transform the old building beyond recognition or beat all the advantages of the new building. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically, to have the shape of the elongated "boards" or rectangular cassettes. Despite all the simplicity, it is necessary to have basic knowledge about different types and features of the installation.

Vinyl

Light lamellae from PVC are the most economical choice of facade for finishing houses, while possessing a number of advantages: due to the low weight, they do not require the creation of reinforced fasteners; can be installed on your own even inexperienced builder, the service life of the vinyl of some brands exceeds 20 years; Manufacturers offer products in a huge variety of coloring and textures. By cons include the fragility of the product, vulnerability in front of the ultraviolet rays of the sun and low frost resistance.

WOOD

Eco-friendly and very warm method of trim, requiring special care during operation. The untreated tree is short-lived, and the high cost often makes you choose more technological materials, which after installation practically do not require attention. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to completely write off the finish of facades of private buildings with natural wood, because the efforts spent and the means are capable of paying for the appearance of the finished project.

METAL

Metal lamellas are durable and durable, because the metal before the finish coating is necessarily subjected to industrial galvanized and primer, which minimizes the risk of rust. The facial covering can be painted either covered with a special pattern that imitates a tree or stone. The metal is weakly exposed to atmospheric precipitation and temperature drops, however, it is necessary to leave the opportunity to "walk" the gland when expanding. The minus can be called the need to consider the weight of the finished sample when creating a crate and a rather high price of high-quality metal riming.

Cement

Fibro cement panels have an attractive appearance - often the pattern and coloring they are indistinguishable from the tree. Fire resistant, durable and safe material that requires a significant increase in the bearing capacity of the foundation and the entire mounting structure due to its considerable weight. In addition, in the process of installation it is necessary to use protective respirators protecting builders from cement dust.

Facade tile

It makes it possible to turn a house into a premium object and create an exquisite appearance. There are several ways to cover - this is the fixation of the elements directly on the wall with the help of glue or special solutions, and the creation of a mounted construction that allows you to visually align partitions with minimal effort. If it is placed on the wall, it is worth considering that such works can only be produced at the plus temperature and the surface to which the tile will be glued must be carefully prepared.
Modern manufacturers offer many varieties of products from all sorts of raw materials.

Options for finishing the facade of a private country house with natural stone

The decoration of the building by marble or granite has always pointed to the status of the owner and turned the mansion into a real work of art. Natural stone is one of the highest strength materials, not exposed to heat, cold and sun rays, absolutely environmentally friendly and is capable of listening over 100 years. With all indisputable advantages, has increased requirements for the strength of the base and the foundation and a high price tag, due to the complexity of the production of such a product.

Shelchik

It is a seven, one of the types of porous limestone, sedimentary rock, is abundant produced in the Crimea. The sample variety of the breed is no different, but its natural color and traces of ancient organisms and shells have enviable decorativeness. Facing light, non-flammable and environmentally friendly. But, as the limestone is able to absorb moisture, additional protective processing is required, which increases its cost and labor costs.

Porcelain stoneware, aglomerate

The cheaper alternative to natural stone, which has a lot of advantages. The composition of the porcelain stoneware includes granite crumb, ceramzit, quartz, binders and marble, if it comes to agglomerate. The finished product can be glossy or matte and have different sizes. The main characteristics are not inferior, and sometimes exceed the indicators of natural stone. At the same time, the color palette is much more extensive, and the price is several times lower, which gives a porcelain stoneware and agglomerate a huge advantage.

Concrete

Concrete tile is an economical, durable and safe material that deserves attention.
The composition of the concrete in such a product is quite complicated: a special aggregate is added to facilitate weight, and various variations of stabilizers, plasticizers and wool holders are used to prevent cracking and absorption moisture. Due to this, the sheathing of improved mall-resistant concrete is relatively easy, durable and resistant to mechanical damage.

Bituminous

This type is a novelty in the domestic construction market. If the flexible tile has become the usual and beloved solid coating option, then the design of the walls of the walls is not so common with us, and in vain - its service life exceeds 30 years, and the cost is comparable to vinyl siding.

This solution is suitable for a complex form building and can be combined with other building materials.

Installation is simple, requires minimal skills and tools, and the result will become an unusual, attracting curious looks of the design of the cottage.

Materials for finishing facades of private houses Multiple, and only viewing a lot of photos of completed projects, you can choose the right one to you.

Facade finishing panels

The basis is the basis of polyurethane or polystyrene foam, which plays the role of the insulation and the basics for the decorative outer layer. Such a tandem is convenient, as it allows you to do without additional insulation of the building. The finishing layer can be made both from expensive varieties - clinker or composite tiles and from cheaper plastic. Most often mimic a brickwork or natural stone, but there are also geometric or abstract rules. Before buying, it is necessary to know the class of product stability to fire - it should not be lower than B2.

Modern finishing panels are durable and capable of living up to 50 years, almost do not absorb water and durable to bend. It is worth remembering that the products of burning this raw material are extremely poisonous, so such a trim is not worth using indoors. Despite the fact that in private development they are used extremely rare, it is worth mentioning glass samples. When the project is embodied in the style of High-tech, the installation of this particular version will be the most optimal.

Meanwhile, decoration with glass blocks can significantly improve the thermal insulation of the house, protect its inhabitants from ultraviolet and sound insulating indoor rooms.

New word in outer decoration: facade wallpaper

Wallpaper for street sheathing is still unfamiliar to many, even the most modern developers, because they appeared on the global market of building materials recently. At the same time, the strength characteristics of this type of cladding are surprised by their high performance.

It is possible to decorate the canvas with ordinary paint for outdoor work, which goes great on the cored wallpaper. You can see what this finishing material looks like for the facades of private houses in the photo of finished objects.

The finished coating is elastically and calmly transfers the temperature differences and the deformation associated with it - instead of cracking, the decor is simply stretched and compressed. Moreover, such a coating does not require an ideal surface without cracks and chipping - glue layer simply levels these defects. Over time, on the classic plaster there are prophets and holes, it peers from the base - when using facade wallpaper, there are no such troubles.

Fliselinic canvas perfectly copes with a vapor barrier function - produces all the accumulated moisture outward, but prevents the penetration of dampness inside the wall.
In order to overcome the distrust of buyers to a new finish option, most manufacturers provide a long-term coating guarantee - 30 years and more, which implies a long service life.

The only but weighty minus system is the price comparable to the cost of decorating with natural stone.

Clinker tile

Clinker - Vintage material. It uses a special grade clay. It is subjected to burning at very high temperatures - more than 1,300 s, which makes the structure of durable and homogeneous. Modern additives allow to obtain a variety of shades of the finished product; Also decorative can give glossy glaze or textured splashes on the facing surface.

The facing of the facades of the cottage clinker will serve more than 50 years and will not suffer from frost or moisture, but will require the initial costs of careful preparation of the surface to the installation.

Sandwich panels

The facing sandwich panels are a multilayer plate in which all layers are firmly glued together. The central layer is a polystyrene, mineral or polyurethane foam insulation thickness up to 350 mm thick, and the external can be made of metal, plastic or wood.

This option is more often used in the construction of industrial buildings, but it can be quickly insulated with it quickly and high quality and the walls of the cottage.

In order not to reduce insulation efforts to zero, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of cold bridges in the joints of the slabs. The weight of the finished design can vary greatly depending on the thickness of the sandwich panel and the composition of the insulation, therefore, at the design stage, it is necessary to provide crates capable of withstanding a similar load.

Ventilated facades

The ventilated is considered to be a construct providing for a layer of air between the wall and the outer layer, as well as the production that contribute to the movement of air and the output of excess moisture.
The airbag serves as an additional thermal insulation of the building, and also protects it from the accumulation of excessive dampness.

The choice of design options is huge - this is a brick facing, and all kinds of siding, even a stone or porcelain tile. The most important thing is to comply with all the rules when installing the crate or the supporting structure, the presence of a vaporizolation layer and the use of "breathable" materials that will pass the outward moisture.

The theater begins with hangers, and the house is from the facade. It is on the appearance of the building that the guests form their first, and sometimes the strongest impression of the owners. This is the face of the house, emphasizing the individual style of its owners. At the same time, the role of the exterior is not limited to the decor at all - it protects the house, contributes to the extension of the durability of the main structures, maintaining heat.

Requirements for facades

The exteriors are presented with a variety of quality assessment criteria. Consider the most important of them.

Design

Any facade should be a stylish and well recognizable architecture building, which will cause positive emotions from those around them with their aesthetics and harmony. The decor of the house, located within the city, is mandatory must respond to a common town-planning concept and combined with the formation of the environment.

Even if the house is equipped in the historic center of the metropolis, it should still be modern.

If a private building is being built on the territory of a closed cottage village, then in some cases the owners require a compliance with the overall design concept of the settlement. This moment should be specified before the construction work.

Functionality

Any facade must be reliably protected from adverse atmospheric influences, including rain, snow, wind and lightning strikes, as well as serve as a rapid ride. The design should maintain the ventilation of the house and the free circulation of air, thereby contributing to the formation of a favorable microclimate in residential premises.

The facade should participate in the removal of excess moisture and condensate, which appeared as a result of human vital activity, outward. The external finish should absorb foreign sounds and prevent ingress of all street noise in the house.

Glazing

The window of the facade of the structure should contribute to the greatest insolation of interior. The design should be calculated with a small shading, since only in this case removal of excess heat and high-quality support of the level of illumination in the house is possible.

Performance features

The facade must necessarily be such a design that is not inclined to pollution, and also has the capabilities of high-quality self-cleaning. It is allowed to use materials that can be easily and quickly cleaned with water and standard detergents.

In the case of deformation of some elements of the exterior, the facing should provide the possibility of operational and point repairs without replacing the entire coating as a whole. The facade needs to be organized so that at any time be able to make changes to its design. This will be useful, for example, if the non-residential premises turns into a guest space.

External decoration should be made as long as possible so that it does not require frequent repair, for example, annual color. The facade should effectively integrate with engineering communication systems, in particular, with ventilation.

Construction criteria

Any elements of the facade are trimmed technologically easily and fast. The system should be highly endurance - resistant to any changes in the basic design. Nobeer, to the natural shrinkage of the walls.

Safety

The exterior should effectively protect the house from unfavorable factors of natural nature and all sorts of radiation, for example, ultraviolet. It must be resistant to mechanical damage. It is very important to protect against the fall of children and adults, as well as interior items. That is why, when planning facade work, special attention should be paid to calculating the height of the window fence, the level of glazing, the parameters of handrails and other elements.

The facade and its individual items should not be poured. Optimally, if it is equipped with an emergency exit system, for example, a fire staircase. Materials from which facades are made must be resistant to burning. By the way, special attention should be paid to the requirements of fire safety.

To increase fire resistance in the design of any facade, fire protection systems are provided, which prevent the rapid spread of the flame along the walls and overlap.

Ideally, the materials that are drawn up house outside should withstand the effect of about 1000 degrees.

Selecting a finish method

The construction industry offers a wide selection of all kinds of materials. Along with this, technology develops. What is the variant of the facing to give preference, may depend on a large number of factors. Most different finishing methods are allowed. Conditionally they are divided into "wet" and "dry".

In the first case, the use of adhesive mixtures and waterproof plasters takes place. With this method of arrangement of the exterior, heaters with high hygroscopicity are used, most often on the basis of polystyrene foam.

The facade can be equipped without heat insulation. However, this approach almost went into the past. The most common option for insulation today is a bonded thermal insulation (CST). This technology implies a "wet" finish. In this case, all layers are functioning in a single complex with each other, and the facade itself can be called a real thermal insulating composite.

In the overall structure of the CST, there are 7 base layers, and not one of them cannot be neglected. Otherwise, the coating under the "fur coat" quickly cracks or simply will not heal. As a rule, the composition of the components in the "wet" facade looks like this:

• glue;
• thermal insulation material;
• rough hydraulic coating;
• reinforcing mesh;
• waterproofing layer;
• primer mixture;
• decorative plaster.

Each layer is an important link that ensures the effective functioning of the entire system. Of course, any of its elements can be acquired and mount apart. However, many manufacturers of "wet" facades offer ready-made solutions that include all the necessary components of the Pie.

The advantages of the "wet" facade are obvious:

• relatively low price of such a finish;
• ease of installation;
• good maintainability of the coating;
• ability to use for facades with an abundance of complex architectural elements;
• Disadvantages also take place;
• technology cannot be used for wooden houses and for frame structures;
• installation work is carried out only at temperatures of more than 5 degrees;
• the wall surface must be prepared and leveled at the preparation rate for facing;
• the outer layer is distinguished by low impact resistance;
• the plastered facade requires regular adjustment.

"Dry" facade is easier, but it also has his own nuances. This technology implies the construction of the building outside using the crate, between the planets of which is mounted by a layer of insulation. The thermal insulation material is covered with a steamproof film, and then the walls are flocked with finishing raw materials.

As a rule, for this wall, we are sidding siding from PVC, sip-panels, clinker. When arranging such facades between the penplex and the main coated, a small gap remains, which forms an air layer and contributes to the best ventilation of the residential premises.

Thanks to the frame, the finishing cladding reliably hides small wall defects, and also allows not pre-cleaning and aligning the surface. The greater advantage of the technology is the possibility of carrying out work at any time of the year at any temperature, and in addition, all the work can be carried out with their own hands even without much experience in construction and finishing.

"Dry" facades are divided into lungs and heavy. The first option implies cladding materials that have low weight. Most often these are boards or small plastic panels. Such materials are firmly fixed on the frame with hardware or simply nailed.

A heavy technique provides lining with large-sized coatings - these are stone slabs or porcelain stonewares. At the same time, fairly high requirements are presented to the total strength and resistance of the structure, since the overlaps will have to withstand a new and fairly tangible weight.

The advantage of the light technology is its availability and the possibility of using inexpensive materials. But heavy allow you to implement complex and stylish architectural solutions, user feedback clearly testify that such facades are distinguished by durability and wear resistance. However, the cost of such exteriors is high.

Types of materials and features of application

When choosing suitable for cladding materials, it is necessary to proceed from the considerations of the practicality, reliability, the aestheticness of the facade and the cost of materials. Many prefer low-budget options - this turn is in the root is erroneous.

Any savings on the quality of materials when creating a facade already after a couple - the top three will be wrapped with a new turning cost of its repair and maintenance of functionality.

In addition, the high-quality facade allows us to increase the thermal insulation of the building, and all costs for its equipment will begin to pay off in the first winter by reducing heating costs.

Materials used to arrange exteriors must comply with the following criteria:

• felingness, lack of ability to self-ignition;
• the strength of the cladding, its wear resistance;
• resistance to fading and other color changes under the influence of bright UV rays;
• resistance to temperature fluctuations;
• simplicity and good installation speed;
• equipment required components;
• the total cost of materials and facade installation work.

Consider the main advantages and disadvantages of the most popular finishing materials.

Plaster

The most popular and simple way that allows you to quickly decorate the house and change almost beyond recognition. The modern market offers a wide selection of plasters that perform not only decorative, but also a protective function, up to insulation and fire resistance. It is possible to choose the optimal composition for walls made of any material - wood, brick, foam blocks and gas-silicate blocks or arbolit.

The list of advantages is very impressive:

• attractive appearance - the choice of shades of plasters is very wide, so it does not constitute any difficulty to pick up exactly the color that accurately reflects the architectural and designer concept of the building;
• hygroscopicity - the facade contains elements of hydro and vaporizolation, which are mounted before it is applied to a finite putty, so does not let water and retains dry indoors;
• plaster is resistant to temperature fluctuations, it retains its functionality both in winter frosts and in summer heat;
• the coating does not fade under the constant impact of UV radiation;
• perfectly absorbs the sounds, forming good sound insulation;
• easy installation - any homemade sample will cope with the application of plasters with their own hands, this does not require much experience, no professional equipment;
• the pricing accessibility is the simplest plastering formulations are distinguished by a low price, there are more expensive options, commensurate with more expensive finishes.

Cons also have:

• the likelihood of cracks and chips over time;
• frequent peeling of the coating layer;
• the occurrence of spots on the surface as a result of the impact of natural human factors.

For the sake of justice, it should be noted that each of the following deficiencies is a consequence of incorrectly made editing. If plastering is carried out in compliance with all rules, the coverage will serve as faithfully for many years.

Natural and artificial stone

In its external decorative parameters, as well as the degree of durability and the fortress, the stone is favorably different from any other materials used in the facade cladding. Natural stone is expensive, so most of the homeowners make them only part of the exterior - make facing the corners and base, combining with other types of coatings, or use an artificial substitute - it is cheaper, and weighs much less.

The advantages of natural stone are indisputable:

• durability - once spent on the purchase and stacking of the stone you can safely forget about the facade for many decades;
• stylish design - thanks to a combination of different types of stone, it is quite realistic to embody almost any design concept and the house will always look extremely stylish and expensive;
• stone is an environmentally friendly material;
• hygroscopicity and resistance to all types of atmospheric influences;
• good wear resistance and resistance to mechanical damage to small and medium power.

Disadvantages are associated with a high value of the material and its greater weight, such a coating can be used for new buildings with strong walls that can withstand additional loads. Even an artificial stone, which is much easier natural, creates pressure, which often leads to the appearance of overlapping.

Brick

The brick has become one of the most commonly used facades of materials for the implementation of the ideas of classical and English design in the exterior. And here we are not talking about a simple building brick, but about its variety - facing material. Depending on the production technology, several varieties are distinguished.

Clinker

It is made from clay types of increased plasticity by firing and long pressing. Special pigments are added to the material to make the necessary shade. The advantages of such a coating is a long term of use and high strength. Such a material shows the frost resistance, withsting temperatures up to -50 degrees and at the same time retains its operational properties after 300 frost and defrost cycles.

Brick is resistant to ultraviolet, it differs good hygroscopicity, it does not require much care. In addition, such a coating is environmentally friendly, since it is produced from natural materials, does not contain harmful and toxic substances. The minuses include the weight, the manufacturability of the installation and a fairly high cost.

Ceramic

This is a simple brick, which is also made from clay according to the firing technology. The decoration uses its facing modification, which is distinguished by durability, thermal insulation, high noise absorption, resistance to ultraviolet and wind. It is a safe, environmentally friendly material that has a relatively low price.

The disadvantages include often uneven geometry and noticeable visually engagement of light limestone, which, as moisture, it is painted in a dark tone and are allocated with their heterogeneity. From the point of view of operation, it is possible to attract the ability to spindle and even destruction, if, when choosing a fastening solution or installation of the coating, errors were made, and the work was carried out not quite correctly. Ceramic brick absorbs up to 10% moisture, which significantly reduces its low-temperature resistance.

Hyperpressed

Such a product is produced by pressing cement, sewer and special additional components. This type of brick is largely ahead of ceramic in its technical parameters, namely:

• it is distinguished by strength and durability;
• it has clear lines and forms;
• sustainable frost and moisture;
• characterized by simplicity of laying.

The obvious minus of such a material is its ability over time to change the original color, as well as a high weight that creates certain interference when transporting and transporting products.

Tile and stove

Tile materials used for exterior design are presented in the market in several options. Consider each of them.

Ceramographic

This material is obtained from natural clay with the addition of quartz, spat and water using dry pressing technology. This coating is different from all the others with its exceptional fortress and practicality, and in its user parameters it does not infer the natural stone.

Advantages:

• resistance to mechanical shocks and abrasion;
• durability;
• 100% moisture resistance, the material does not absorb water at all;
• resistance to temperature fluctuations and their extreme manifestations;
• the immutability of the appearance throughout the term of use;
• a wide selection of shades and textures, in stores you can find finishing options, imitating a wooden rounded timber, natural stone or brickwork, are common, matte, glovenic and glazed coatings.

Disadvantages are obvious - this is a lot of weight and high cost, as well as the complexity of the installation of such a coating.

Cement-chip

The base component of the CSP is Portland cement, whose share reaches 65%. The structure also includes wood chips with a fraction of 24% and chemical additives, due to which the material becomes durable and resistant to mechanical damage.

The components of the slab are obtained as a result of a long pressing, and the surface resulting as a result of such treatment can be painted and placed immediately after installation without preliminary preparation of the coating.

The main operational parameters of the CSP are high:

• the material is safe for people and pets;
• does not absorb water;
• publishes the couple out, preventing the formation of condensate;
• well absorbs noise and outsided sounds;
• even in conditions of high humidity, it does not rot and does not change its characteristics;
• resistant to temperature drops and adverse atmospheric influences.

Manufacturers assure that the cement-chip stove is resistant to burning. But many consumers question this fact, believing that the material with the content of wood can not be fire-resistant.

Ceramics

This material received great popularity due to exclusively high decorative and operational properties. The facade tile differs from the smaller porosity intended for internal work, so that water absorption becomes almost minimal.

It is a strong and wear-resistant coating with good fire-resistant parameters and resistance to external atmospheric influences. In addition, the material has low weight, so it can be mounted on the walls of houses of any types.

Concrete

It is manufactured from cement, as well as quartz sand and special fillers. Such material is distinguished by wear resistance, durability and fortress. It does not absorb moisture and is not deformed under the influence of burning sunlight, and the prices of it are available to the average Russian.

The disadvantage is associated with a high percentage of marriage in production - cases where products with inaccurate geometry are implemented everywhere. Such a tile is used only for dry facades.

Wood

Nowadays, few people use a log blank, logs, boards. To replace them, the lining, eurvagon and wooden siding have long come, created from the bar by drying and processing with special impregnations. The main advantage is a stylish design and a high level of environmental friendliness of such a coating. Supporting by Eurovantia is withstanding temperature fluctuations, it does not destroy under the influence of precipitation and retains aesthetic appearance throughout the term of use.

However, this is achievable only under the condition of regular care for such siding and processing with special impregnations, which protect the material from mold, fungus, insects and rotting, and also give fire-resistant qualities.

Panels and cassettes

Siding is very popular for the arrangement of facades. It is relatively inexpensive and at the same time easy-to-use modern material. It is characterized by good decorativeness and a large variety of shades, including imitation of tree textures and natural stone. Side's service life is 30 years old, it is optimal for finishing any surfaces and for the extractuation of an old building. Material is produced in several subspecies.

Vinyl

It is performed on the basis of polyvinyl chloride. It has a long utilization, shows resistance to temperature fluctuations, as well as to fire, metal corrosion and ultraviolet rays. It is easily easy, which greatly facilitates the transportation and installation of panels.

Of the disadvantages, an increased linear expansion coefficient is noted. It is important when installing any designs and weak thermal insulation. In addition, in the case of coating defects, it seems to be problematic to replace a separate element of the facade.

Metal

It is made of stainless steel or aluminum. The metal at the same time is covered with a durable layer of polymer coating. Aluminum material is applied in the finish quite rarely - this is due to its high price. But the steel plates are quite popular with the arrangement of exterior, it is best to take galvanized sheets or plates with a metal coating.

The advantages of metallic siding:

• increased strength and resistance to mechanical damage;
• durability - the operational period of the panels reaches 50 years;
• resistance to temperature fluctuations;
• weak flammability;
• resistance to adverse atmospheric influences;
• attractive appearance;
• ease of installation.

Metal: placing with a layer of polymers. Therefore, with a breakdown of part of the coating, corrosion does not occur, and the owners of such facades should not be afraid of rust.

Cement

These panels are produced using mixing and further hot pressing of cellulose fibers with fibrotentium solution, in its decorative parameters it may well make a competing of natural stone. The advantages of the coating are strength to any mechanical damage, resistance to fire and atmospheric factors.

The disadvantages should include considerable weight, which significantly limits the possibilities of facing by this type of coatings and a small selection of shades and textures. In addition, cement siding has a rather high cost, so not every consumer can take advantage of this material.

Sandwich panels

This is a special multi-layer material. Its structure includes two layers of metal and a layer of insulation between them. All this pie is connected using a long pressing, while the surface can remain smooth, and relief and interesting texture can be created.

The advantages are indisputable:

• long service life;
• aesthetic design;
• ease;
• moisture resistance;
• heat resistance;
• good noise absorption;
• availability of repair;
• high speed installation.

Minus such panels have only one - a high price. In addition to widespread materials, there are more modern and even in something innovative. The most interesting of them:

• facade cassettes - square or rectangular plates made of metal and covered with a thin layer of polymers;
• clinker thermopanels - an attractive and modern finishing material, which is also also a good insulation, is produced by burning a layer of polystyrene on clinker tiles;
• glass panels - Finishing, widely used in shopping complexes, but for residential buildings and cottages it is suitable only in cases where the owners are not afraid to make the most bold solutions.

Reasonable options

Not all market innovations justified consumer expectations. For example, glass magnetic sheets. This is a finishing composition in which mutual perlite is used as basic material, on both sides, a fiberglass reinforced mesh. Withdrawing a novelty to the market, manufacturers assured that this is a facing material of the highest class. The technical parameters of such a composition prove its strength, density, resistance to mechanical effects.

In addition, it is distinguished by exceptional fire resistance and low thermal conductivity. But as practice has shown, the material is good for insulation, as a thermal insulation layer and it is not suitable for the finishing facing of the facades.

There are those who are in the old manner prefers to cover the facade of a straightener and professional flooring. Previously, it was universally bought for the installation of fences and roofing, now many daches use it to cover and protect the walls of their houses.

The unpacking popularity of the material is associated with its price availability and simplicity of installation - work with this type of coating does not require special skills and professional equipment. Professional flooring, as well as a professionalist reliably protect the walls from mechanical damage.

To improve the facades of residential buildings, these coatings are now used extremely rarely and the reason for this is the ability to carry out heat, on hot days a metal surface is rare in the sun and any contact with it can end up with a burn.

An even more rare option for the facades is a flat slate. This asbestos-cement composition, a wave-like variety of which is widely used to cover the roof.

The time of this material in its old form has passed. It is replaced by more modern and technological compositions. However, slate supporters did not disappear - many still distinguish this coating due to its low price. The material is characterized by good moisture resistance, absorbs unnecessary noises and is not a current conductor. In the coating of this type, fungi and mold are not multiplied, it does not burn and does not rust.

Disadvantages are associated with the fragility of slate, it will easily break when moving and mounting. But the main thing is an environmental danger: in large doses asbestos is harmful, so such a coating is undesirable to use where people live year-round.

How to fit into the design: General rules

Deciding on the creation of a stylish exterior, should not be based solely on your own wishes. It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the natural climatic zone, the specifics of the landscape design of the territory where the house is located, and the appearance of the cottages located next door. There are several styles that are more often used when designing facades.

English

Safornity and impeccability - these concepts are invariably associated with England. That is why they became the main leitmotif in the creation of an English exterior, classic rectangular lines, the use of expensive materials, brick or stone masonry, as well as a constant roof from the tiles of discreet shades. Most often in this style, two-storey houses with an attic. In this case, the porch is made small and decorated with its semi-colonins.

Chalet

This direction in the arrangement of low-rise cottages originates from the shepherd huts in the mountains. Nowadays, it becomes more and more fans due to originality and comfort. Such houses are erected only from wood. In their home-based one-story building decoration, arched and doorways are replete with balconies, the number of which is quite large. The roof in such houses is made in the form of an attic, so the ceiling often has a little spawned look.

Another remarkable feature chalet is a large bartal roof with a wide protrusion, which goes far beyond the main building - it is this element that makes a look, not leaving any guests or neighbors that are indifferent.
