The siding (or cladding) of the building serves to protect the facade from external influences, warming the house. Plastic or vinyl panels not only give the building an attractive appearance, but also increase its service life. If you do the work yourself, the costs will pay off within 2-3 years only by saving on heating and air conditioning. In a word, there can be no doubt about the need for siding. Getting started immediately!
First you need to choose facing and insulation materials. We will use inexpensive mineral wool as insulation, and PVC facade panels as the finishing material. We need: paint, tool kit, metal profile, siding panels, mineral wool, vapor barrier.
How to sheathe a house with siding step by step instructions
1. Facade preparation
Remove old siding. Inspect the facade for mold, cracks, chips and efflorescence. Repair defects. Clean and paint the facade. Apply waterproofing and antibiotic coating.
2. Marking and installation of suspensions
Make markings for installing suspensions on which the profile will be mounted. We install suspensions at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other, bend the edges.
3. Installing the grille from profiles
Install the grill, starting from the edge of the wall. The profile is attached to the suspensions with screws, as shown in the video.
4. Facing window openings and facade angles
Attach spotlights with self-tapping screws. To decorate the windows and corners of the building, corner panels are used from the same material as the panels for the main part of the facade.
5. Warming
Between the profile grid and the wall, insert mineral wool slabs, preferably in two layers. Cover the insulation with a film. Soundproofing of penofol can be glued on top of the film. Fix all layers with screws.
6. Installing siding
Install horizontal and vertical PVC panels. Attach them with screws to the profile grid. They should have a little play left and right, as shown in the video.
7. Completion of work
Install the drain bar and drainpipe. The work is over!
Note. In the video presented, the plastic panels are mounted parallel to the ground, for this the grating from the profile must be installed perpendicularly. But you can do it in another way, set profiles in parallel, and panels - perpendicularly. Good luck in your work!
