The external decoration of the building is assigned the final and almost the main role in construction. In fact, this is a kind of business card of your home. Recently, the modern material “Siding” has managed to get particular popularity. Siding is a fashionable high -tech variety of casing, which has the appearance of a panel that is mounted on and which are responsible for protection of the external attractiveness of the structure. This material is equally used both for wall lining and when working with the roof.
The most popular varieties of siding are metal and vinyl types. Vinyl siding earned the title as the most popular finishing material. It has the appearance of a panel, the basis of which is represented by polyvinyl chloride (aka PVC). This material is characterized by lightness, strength, resistance to different external influences. Also, work with siding is characterized by small time costs. It is noteworthy that the apparent fragility of vinyl siding is actually deceiving: the material is not afraid of shock loads and is not deformed. Also, under the influence of fire, siding only melts, thereby protecting the whole house from the destructive action of fire. Such panels are good not only with external, but also with interior decoration, since this material has the ability not to conduct electric current. Also widespread in the construction sector and metal siding. To create this material, cold -rolled steel is used, which is subsequently subjected to galvanizing, painting or covering polymer. Again, metal siding is distinguished by durability, strength (loads and blows are not afraid of it), it does not lose its color, does not cover it with cracks and does not swell. Due to the fact that metal panels do not fit the walls of the house loosely, the facade of the building receives a proper level of ventilation. As for the shortcomings, here, first of all, it is worth mentioning high rates and heavy weight of the material, and therefore the installation of this type of siding needs to preliminary strengthen the foundation. If this material is finished with the roof, then additional sound insulation will be needed so that, being inside the house, not to experience discomfort from rain drops.
