Many, in order to improve the appearance of the old house, and at the same time solve the problem and conduct insulation of houses resort to such material as siding. Indeed, it costs cheaper than sheathing the house with a brick, and, moreover, looks more aesthetic and softer. And the opportunity to insulate the house without any difficult actions along the way, makes this procedure even more popular.
Indeed, subject to a number of requirements, the lining of the house with siding can be done independently. For this, however, as with any facing material, it is necessary to prepare the surface for work. If there was a lining of lining, then it is better to remove it. You can leave it, but over time, like any tree, it will begin to rot. This threatens with alteration after a couple of years.
It is necessary to remove all the decorative elements so that they do not interfere with the quality of the work and do not distract the time until you fit up under these elements. This threatens nervous excitement and, as a result, low quality.
Clean the old paint if the house was painted. This is necessary for further processing by special means from the effects of weather conditions.
If you lay the insulation, think through the ventilation system so that the condensate from the fumes does not settle on the walls of the house. This threatens the rotting of the house and the subsequent overhaul, which will require certain costs and strength and finance.
If necessary, align the walls. Otherwise, siding will fall badly, which will negatively affect the service life of the house.
Like any panels, siding is laid on the crate. The crate can be either from a metal profile and from wooden racks. Consider the peculiarity of siding for expansion, depending on seasonal changes, so do not forget to leave small clearances between the panels.
At the end of facing work, you can return all decorative elements to the place. If you took into account all the nuances when lining with siding, then your updated house will last you for a long time.
