Set of tools required for installation of Northside façade panels

Properly selected tools allow you to quickly and effectively solve any problems that arise during the installation of facades Nordside panels. Trim the panel to the right size An electric jigsaw, a grinder, or a regular hacksaw will help. For arranging wooden and metal sheathing You will need a saw, a hammer, a screwdriver, as well as standard fasteners (nails or self-tapping screws). Construction stapler is designed for fixing windproof membranes And vapor barrier films. A tape measure, plumb line, building and water levels will help you make accurate, detailed measurements and ensure perfectly level installation of the panels.

Preparatory work. Installation of sheathing

Installation facade panels made on top of a lathing made of wooden blocks treated with fire and bioprotection, or metal profiles. The distance between the sheathing elements depends on the size of the panels. Nordside basement siding has the following dimensions: height – 46.3 cm, working width – 111.7 cm.

Modern building standards require the use of heat, hydro and steam insulating materials. The insulation is laid directly into the sheathing, and wind protection and vapor barrier are mounted on top of it.

Installation of Nordside facade panels and accessories

The panels are fixed using self-tapping screws, which are screwed into the center of the nail holes. Stroymet engineers remind you: self-tapping screws should not be tightened completely. It is necessary to leave a gap between the panel and the cap of about 2 mm. This will avoid deformation of the panels due to temperature changes.

Installation of the starting bar

Correct position starting bar determined using the building level. The strip intended for installation of the first row of Northside siding is secured with self-tapping screws (wide flange up, bend outward).

Installation of external corner elements

The Nordside prefabricated corner is a corner piece and an insert. First, the insert is installed, then the façade panels are installed, and lastly the outer corner is installed.

Installation of internal corner elements

The internal corner is formed by two J-profiles, located perpendicular to each other. The profiles are fixed with self-tapping screws in increments of 15-20 cm.

Installation of basement siding

The panels must be mounted from bottom to top, from left to right. When installing SMOOTH BRICK siding, it is recommended to ensure a horizontal offset of each subsequent row by 1 brick. Thanks to this, the cladding will look like real brickwork.

Edging the top of the panels

To emphasize the line of the upper border of the facade area lined with siding, J-profiles are used. They are installed before the installation of Northside façade panels begins. At the final stage, the profile is bent and the top row is inserted into it basement siding.

The Stroymet company offers a wide range of Northside products. In our offices you can favorable price buy basement siding and various accessories necessary for its installation.

Nordside Features

Technology Coextrusion

From the point of view of the technologies used, it is possible to use two different ways forming a vinyl panel.

1. Monoextrusion– production of a product from a homogeneous mass;
2. Coextrusion– formation of a panel from two layers, different in composition and purpose. Upper layer, contain titanium dioxide in combination with high-quality dyes, modifiers and stabilizers. This guarantees the lamella's resistance to impact external environment(temperature, humidity, UV resistance). The second one is more responsible for mechanical properties panels.

Anti-hurricane lock

As the name suggests, vinyl siding Nordside has a more advanced lock. The wall lamella shown in the photo has an additional bend on top, above the perforated holes.

It serves as an additional stiffener. It also provides better resistance of the panel fastening to wind load.

Modification of the perforated part of the strip led to a simplification of the covering procedure. Any instructions for installing siding emphasize the importance of it correct fastening. And also contains detailed description this process.

The Nord Side lamella, due to the appearance of a “side”, ensures automatic adherence to the principle of non-rigid fixation of fasteners in the nail cell. Working with such a lock, siding installation can be easily done by yourself without the involvement of expensive crews.

Improved Curtain Board

Tandem planks "Cornice + j" used for finishing slopes of windows or doors and covering the ends of the roof. Traditionally, the installation of lamellas involves the establishment cornice boards in j-profile. The novelty of this decorative element lies in the combination of these two profiles.

Using a longer part will allow you to avoid wasting time on fastening, guarantee reliable fixation, and the price of a new cornice board is significantly less than the cost of purchasing two complementary elements.

Conclusion

A wide selection of finishing materials often provides the buyer with headache associated with the difficult process of selection and making the final decision. We hope that the information provided in this article will help you make correct solution, based on a reasonable combination of reliability, quality and price.

Nordside basement siding looks the same as traditional brick or masonry. The price for stone siding and brick siding is affordable, and the characteristics are very high level. Each panel has an expressive, detailed design, the surface is embossed. The material is available in two collections: “Smooth Brick” and “Northern Stone”. Special technologies production, improved raw materials containing titanium dioxide, as well as a number design features make installation of Northside façade panels quick, simple and convenient.

Tools for installing basement siding

Façade finishing works are carried out using standard construction tools. For woodworking, when arranging the sheathing, you need to use a hammer, saw, and nails. Trimming and installing the galvanized profile is carried out using a hacksaw and a screwdriver. Trimming siding can be done with a hacksaw or a jigsaw with a suitable blade. Fastening of insulating materials is carried out using a construction stapler. Additionally, to carry out measurements you need a hydraulic level and a standard building level of sufficient length.

Arrangement of temperature gaps

Preparing the facade for installation work

To cladding with Northside basement siding, you will need to install sheathing. The planks are installed with a certain step. Its value is calculated based on the dimensions of the mounted panels (height 463 mm, width 1117 mm). For lathing, you can buy a galvanized profile or use wooden blocks. The wood is pre-treated with compounds with fire and bioprotective properties. If it is planned to insulate the facade, it is laid between the sheathing bars.

Installation of Nordside facade panels and accessories

Important! Euromet engineers remind you: when attaching siding, do not screw in the screws too tightly. There should be a gap of 2 mm between the head of the screw and the surface of the panel.

Installation procedure for Northside façade panels

Attaching the starting bar

The starting bar must be leveled, controlling the horizontalness of its position with a building level. The plank should be placed so that the side with the bend is on the outside, and the wide shelf for attaching subsequent panels “looks” upward. The starting rail is secured with self-tapping screws, after which the first row of siding is installed on it.

Installation of external corners

External corner elements are prefabricated and consist of an insert and two parts of a corner. First the insert is installed. Next, a number of siding panels are installed. The corners are attached last.

Installation of internal corners

To install the internal corner you will need two J-profiles. Their correct location shown in Fig. 4. The profiles are fastened with self-tapping screws in increments of 15-20 cm.

Fastening of Northside facade panels

When facing, you need to move from bottom to top and from left to right. If you are installing “Smooth Brick” panels (brick siding), each subsequent row should move slightly sideways (by the length of one “brick”). In this case, imitation brickwork will be as accurate as possible.

Finish bar

As finish bar used façade J-profile, which is installed on the sheathing as shown in Fig. 5. The profile should complete the cladding. To do this, the last, topmost panel is inserted into it. To do this, the profile is bent slightly.

Northside facade panels can be combined with - so the design of your home will be bright and individual.

Because the visible part foundation - plinth - consists of stone, brick or monolithic concrete, then the finishing material for this part of the building imitates, basically, different types stone or brickwork.

Quite quickly, the material began to be used for complete wall finishing, proving to be more attractive than conventional wood siding.

Variety of types of masonry, rich color palette, opportunity effective combination different types materials contributed to the development and distribution of facade panels among consumers.

A house covered with stone-like facade panels looks very solid and elegant, and all the work can be done independently.

The NordSide company was founded in 2001 in St. Petersburg and has been actively developing since then. Among the diversity facing materials, produced by the company, polypropylene basement siding stands out for its qualities.

Designed for harsh Russian conditions, the panels have excellent performance. The company's products are manufactured using modern Austrian equipment; titanium dioxide additives make the material resistant to ultraviolet radiation, which is why even dark elements do not change color over time. Easy to install makes possible installation with your own hands, and this is considerable savings and ease of work.

Realistic imitation of brick or stone masonry makes the facade of the house stylish, impressive, distinguish the casing from natural material very difficult, and the difference in finishing costs is huge. Finish coating, applied using Italian equipment or materials, contributes to the stability of the surface under various operating conditions. Besides, installation does not require using different cement mortars , which makes installation clean and also possible in any conditions.

The possibility of using several imitation options or several cladding colors allows you to make the facade more expressive and attractive.

Types of decorative panels from Nordside

The company produces three main lines of panels:

Northern stone

The surface repeats the masonry of roughly processed stone blocks of different sizes.

There are 5 color options:

• White.
• Beige.
• Sand.
• Terracotta.
• Grey.

Decorating the wall with such panels creates a unique appearance of the house, transforming the usual structure into a stylish and solid building, decorated in the style of old European houses.

Smooth brick

Realistic imitation of a wall lined with clinker bricks.

Color options:

• White.
• Yellow.
• Red.
• Dark brown.

The difference in the cost of natural facing bricks and Northside polypropylene panels are so large, and the conditions and speed of installation of these materials are so different from each other that the choice of facade panels is quite predictable.

Slate

Panels that replicate the slate stone cladding. The surface pattern consists of narrow oblong fragments characteristic of the texture of slate.

Color options:

• White.
• Sand.
• Terracotta.
• Grey.

Despite some differences in the configuration of the panels due to the difference in the shape of the simulated material, the installation method and all installation techniques are absolutely the same.

For what surfaces is it used?

The specific operation of polypropylene panels has no restrictions on the wall material. The sheathing itself does not come into contact with the walls when installed on the subsystem.

Therefore, all types of wall materials are available for installation:

• Stone.
• Brick.
• Wood (logs, beams, boards).
• Plastered surfaces.
• Insulated walls (mineral wool, polystyrene foam or other type of insulating material).

The only limitation during installation is the need to maintain temperature gaps that facilitate smooth movement of the material during expansion or cooling. There are also no special requirements for the material of the subsystem (sheathing); wooden or metal strips can be used at the request or capabilities of the owner.

Northside facade panels - worthy alternative imported samples of external cladding. Created from quality materials Using the most current technologies, Northside panels will dramatically change the appearance of the house, turning an unprepossessing and undistinguished building into a solid mansion that looks stylish and solid.

The ability to quickly and cleanly install it yourself contributes to significant savings in money, time and nerves.

Performance characteristics, durability and resistance of the material to external manifestations give grounds for including Northside facade panels among the leaders among Russian cladding materials, affordable and reliable.
