Major renovation of the building facade. Repair of the facade of an apartment building, major and ordinary - what is included, who performs it. Who does the repairs

Any facade can become unusable over time, and this process is not at all affected by the quality and strength of materials, since even the most durable materials makes them less reliable. Factors that negatively affect facade building materials are: solar radiation, wind, various kinds of precipitation.

If you carry out preventive maintenance on time, you will not have to resort to emergency repairs, and in this way you can increase the life of the building. Our company's working methods are based on advanced finishing techniques and quality materials, due to which the external characteristics of the building are noticeably improved. The technologies used make it possible to change the appearance of the building to a more modern one, or, conversely, to preserve its historical image as much as possible.

1. Our advantages when carrying out major repairs of the facade

1. Practicality (we will do the work for you at any time of the year).
2. Versatility (we can work on objects of any height).
3. Safety and quality assurance (we provide the customer with a guarantee for the work we perform).
4. Cost-effectiveness (it is possible to optimize project implementation costs).

2. Major renovation of the facade of apartment buildings

This is one of the most popular services; it is performed not only for decorative, but also for practical purposes.

That is, by overhauling the facade, it is possible to reduce the number of cold bridges (by sealing cracks), as well as eliminate other defects in the facade system.

How does our company carry out this type of repair?

A professional approach to repairs will be the key to the stability and durability of the created coating.

Major renovation of the facade involves the following stages:

• comprehensive diagnostics by our specialists facade system(its main goal is to identify defects, determine the specifics and scope of work);
• approval of all working issues with the customer, after which our employees will begin work;
• preparing the base for repairs (involves cleaning the walls from old worn out coatings, fungus, mold, dust, as well as removing an unstable layer of plaster);
• sealing seams (if we are talking about a panel house);
• priming of prepared surfaces;
• insulation of walls/restoration of thermal insulation coating;
• restoration of seams (grouting, re-laying of building materials to make the building presentable);
• plastering;
• installation of cladding on a prepared base (tiles, decorative stone, siding, etc.);
• surface painting (at the customer's request).

3. Major renovation of the facade of an apartment building, what is included?

In modern cities, the loss of attractive appearance is observed not only in monuments, but also in ordinary apartment buildings. The best services for carrying out such work are experienced specialists, which will not only get the job done quickly, but will also allow you to save a lot of money.

To spend major renovation, is required by design - estimate documentation, which is compiled by the relevant institutions that are licensed to do so. Such documentation shows the method of performing the work, its volume, necessary materials, as well as prices. The implementation and delivery of the object also takes place on the basis of the requirements of this documentation. During the commissioning of the object, the customer is provided with acts for concealing the work, and certificates for the building materials used.

In addition to restoring attractive appearance buildings, these repairs may also include sealing seams, insulating walls, waterproofing, restoring the decorative layer (this is especially important for those houses that are located in the historical part of the building, where it is important to preserve the architecture of the buildings). In this case, the main focus is on restoring the object as close as possible to its original appearance. These are mainly painting and plastering work, but it is also painstaking and responsible work.

Major renovation of facades includes:

• preparation of working documents ( technological maps, work execution project);
• measurements and calculations of enclosing and load-bearing systems are carried out: foundation, plinth surfaces;
• preparatory work(fencing of dangerous areas, installation of equipment);
• technical inspection of the building;
• wall preparation;
• restoration of the decorative layer (restoration of the installation, its strengthening with special building materials: decorative tiles, bricks, foam blocks).

Our company has extensive experience in carrying out repair work of various types, and we can confidently say that restoration and repair by industrial climbers is the most effective method, which does not require conservation of the object for the period of work. It makes no difference whether the space is residential or not, since there is no need to close it. We will do our job for you without causing any inconvenience.

4. How is the façade of an apartment building overhauled?

Due to the fact that during repair work in apartment building, its residents do not need to temporarily move; this service is in great demand. All work in an apartment building will be carried out only if the decision to carry out repairs is agreed upon with all homeowners. The list of upcoming work is agreed upon in advance and discussed with all apartment owners (wishes can be expressed, which are approved by voting and included in the list of upcoming work).

Noisy work may be carried out between 9am and 7pm, but not on weekends or holidays. In addition, residents need to be prepared for the fact that façade repairs may take up to 6 months or more (depending on the size of the property).

Before starting work, our employees will diagnose the old facade and remove expert opinion regarding the features of the foundation. It will allow you to determine what type of repair to use, how much materials and time it will require.

Carrying out facade works provides for the replacement or restoration of facade plaster, or the implementation of another type of finishing (at the request of customers). The joints between the panels are hermetically sealed so that the walls do not become damp and mold does not appear in the apartments. Enclosing structures need more thorough insulation. At the request of the customer, we can also carry out repairs of balconies and loggias.WITH estimated cost for repair work you can find in the price list, more detailed information Our employees will provide you with it after conducting a site survey. The cost will depend on the volume of work, materials used, working conditions and other factors.repair of the facade of a house

A consultation with our specialists will help you not only decide on the most suitable materials to carry out repair work, but also with the choice of the most profitable design - facade project.

Facade is the face of any house or building. The facades are finished with natural and artificial materials: plaster, brick, finishing stone, aluminum panels, porcelain tiles. Like all material objects, building materials have a shelf life, at the end of which the façade or part of it deteriorates and becomes unusable: the finish is destroyed, the attractiveness of the exterior is lost, and pieces of the façade layer falling off pose a danger to the life and health of people. The condition of the facade is influenced by the human factor: incorrect calculation of the load-bearing capacity of the walls, the use of low-quality materials, saving mortar or lack of experience among installers will lead to a deterioration in the quality of the façade covering.

The repair of building facades is understood as a set of measures to assess damage, prepare the surface, restore the façade covering and engineering structures(drainage gutters). Repair happens:

1. decorative or flowing;
2. capital.

The first option is intended for partial restoration of the facade without interfering with the heat and waterproofing layers: the facade surfaces of houses that face roadway the streets are dark with soot exhaust gases motor transport; gusts of wind come off decorative slabs ventilated facades, the surface of the painted panels burns out. The restoration of such minor defects is carried out when current repairs.

Major repairs are carried out when the facade is destroyed by more than a third, during work on redevelopment of buildings, construction of extensions, or after a complete change in the purpose of the building. During a major overhaul, the worn-out coating is completely removed and a full range of repair, preparatory and installation work.

According to current SNiP 3.04.01-87 ( sanitary standards and rules) current restoration is carried out at least once every 5 years, capital restoration - at least 1 time in 10 years.

Porcelain tiles

Porcelain tiles - high quality facing material, which has zero hygroscopicity, which is made from several types of clay with the addition of dye and several natural minerals: quartz and spar. Tiles are attached to the wall of a building in two ways: by gluing with a special adhesive composition or installed on a system of profiles made of steel or aluminum. The large weight of the material requires an accurate calculation of the load-bearing capacity of the walls and a reliable foundation. High-quality glue used in the first case will serve long service coating and prevent loss individual slabs. If one or more slabs do peel off, the entire façade is examined. If the gluing of porcelain tiles was carried out with violations of technology or using low-quality glue, then cosmetic or general repairs of the entire facade are carried out depending on the area of ​​​​detected damage: the wall surface is cleaned of adhesive solution, cracks are sealed, the tiles are glued again using a high-quality adhesive mixture.

Repair of a ventilation facade made of porcelain tiles is carried out:

1. in case of damage to the slabs themselves as a result of external factors: vandalism, falling trees, as a result of an accident;
2. improper installation of the facade, due to which it does not fulfill its main function - providing air gap between the tile and the insulating layer.

In the first case, new slabs are installed to replace the damaged ones, in the second, the facade is dismantled to identify installation violations and their elimination, followed by installation of the cladding.

Plaster

Plaster - inexpensive universal material, which is most often used for finishing the facades of houses. Its main positive qualities are low overall weight, big choice color solutions, ease of operation and application to the surface of any building material.

Current repairs are carried out when the first signs of coating destruction appear: cracks, tar and bitumen stains, material peeling. Places of destruction are examined by removing a layer of plaster around the damaged areas to a firmly fixed layer using construction tools. After this, sections of the walls are cleaned, cracks and other defects are sealed, a notch is applied, then a primer and plaster mixture are applied. Important points, which should be taken into account when cosmetically restoring plaster:

• gypsum mortar cannot be applied to concrete;

• the thickness of one layer of plaster mixture is no more than 3 cm;

• Grouting is done 4-5 hours after applying the mixture.

If the total area of ​​destruction of the plaster lining exceeds 30% of the wall surface, a major repair is carried out. It includes complete removal of the old coating, repair, preparation and fabrication new cladding Houses.

Repair of facade surface made of fiber cement board

Fiber cement is environmentally friendly, lightweight, durable and flexible material, which is made in the form of slabs of light grade cement with the addition of reinforcing cellulose fibers and fillers from natural minerals. Fiber cement boards have the ability to exchange steam, i.e. allow the walls of the building to “breathe”, such material does not rot or be destroyed by fungus or mold. Fiber cement boards are used for arranging ventilated facades and cladding houses with siding. Repair of facade surfaces made of fiber cement boards is needed to restore aesthetics: washing and painting the boards, replacing damaged fragments. Fiber cement boards are used in the finishing of houses, so to replace or repair them at height, you cannot do without special equipment or climbers.

A natural stone

Finishing the external walls with natural stone gives the building an original, memorable appearance. Natural stone has significant weight and a relatively high price. Lime tuff, granite or marble are used for wall cladding. The first option is the easiest, easy to process and trim. Repair method facade cladding depends on the type of installation: the stone is fixed using a “dry” or “wet” method. Dry - arrangement of a ventilated façade made of slabs of natural polished stone, granite or marble. Wet method- gluing stone fragments to the primed wall surface. To successfully install stone with glue, you need to follow several important rules:

• air temperature - up to -3 degrees Celsius;

• no direct sunlight;

• gluing should be done from bottom to top;

• use glue to work with external surfaces;

• Prime the wall thoroughly before starting work.

Failure to comply with the rules leads to the appearance of cracks in the seams of the cladding, peeling of parts of the coating, and loss of stone fragments. During the repair, damaged areas are identified, part of the cladding is removed, the wall is repaired, prepared for gluing stone, and the facade is installed.

Composite panels

1. dismantling of slabs;
2. repair and preparation of walls;
3. laying an insulating layer;
4. installation of coating.

At the same time, additional painting of the panels is carried out to improve the exterior of the building.

General repair of natural stone house walls

Overhaul using stone finishing begins with studying construction documentation and wall analysis: the ability of the foundation and walls to withstand a large weight of material is studied. Then you need to select the finishing material itself: species and structure. You need to decide on the fastening method, because... the exterior of the building depends on this after finishing the cladding: gluing the stone to the wall will give the house original look buildings from natural material, ventilated facade - impressiveness and severity of the building’s outline. The old coating is completely removed; when applying the adhesive material, great importance is attached to the preparation of the working surface. The ventilated facade allows you to save time on leveling the walls and removing minor defects: the vertical plane of the cladding is adjusted by the height of the brackets for attaching the metal profile to the wall.

Repair of a residential building made of metal cassettes

The building with a glass exterior looks harmonious and modern. Glass is a durable, wear-resistant material that helps conserve heat and save costs on interior lighting. Like any building material, glass requires repair. After several years of operation, water leaks, cold air from the connecting grooves, cracks, and chipped glazing appear. Common causes are wear of polymer seals, deformation metal parts frame, frequent temperature changes, exposure to other natural factors. During the repair work, damaged glazing elements and gaskets are replaced, additional insulation of joints and seams is performed, the facade is washed and polished. At the customer's request, it is possible to completely replace the glazing with higher quality panels that retain heat inside the room, allowing you to save on heating during cold periods.

Stages of repair work

The entire range of measures to restore or replace the external cladding of buildings can be divided into several stages:

1. Study and assessment of damage to the façade surface;
2. Identification of the load-bearing capacity of walls;
3. Preparatory stage;
4. Selection of material and technology for constructing cladding;
5. Installation of facade covering.

At the first stage, specialists go to the building and carry out an external inspection of the walls. Are used special devices to identify fungus, mold, and other contaminants that affect the appearance and development of defects. In some cases, the facade surface is opened in several places to take samples. This is done to determine the quality composition finishing coating. A document is drawn up that sets out the area and nature of the damage, indicating other information that is important for the preliminary assessment of restoration work.

During the preliminary study, design and estimate documentation is also studied to determine the load-bearing capacity of the walls: individual species finishing required increased strength walls and foundation due to the large total weight. Measuring instruments Deviations of walls from the vertical and bulging of individual sections are revealed. Cracks in the walls are measured and examined: some defects can significantly affect the load-bearing capacity. The greatest danger comes from developing cracks and defects in the walls and lintels. IN panel houses the most common defects are displacement of panels, corrosion of reinforcement and fastening elements, destruction of insulating gaskets and seams.

At the stage of preparing surfaces for the construction of cladding, the following types works:

• removal of the original coating;

• sealing and repairing cracks, chips, damaged wall elements;

• removal of dirt and dust;

• applying primer in one or several layers.

All preparatory work is carried out under major restoration cladding, routine repairs of facade coverings using plaster or painted walls. Cosmetic restoration of ventilated facades does not affect the walls themselves and the insulating layer.

After studying the condition of the walls and foundation, you can proceed to the choice of material and technology for exterior finishing. If the strength of the building allows, then the choice of materials is almost unlimited: porcelain stoneware, artificial and a natural stone, panels from various materials- almost everything that fits into the budget. If the technical condition of the house does not allow the use of “heavy” stone and tiles, you should choose finishing using inexpensive but effective metal cassettes or composite panels: low cost combined with low weight will allow you to decorate the building in a modern style. Plaster finishing is suitable for small budgets: high-quality cladding will make the appearance of the building neat and attractive for a long time.

Installation of the facade is the most important part of the renovation. Compliance with everyone technical standards and requirements is an indispensable condition for external finishing It turned out beautiful and durable. To install a ventilation façade, use metallic profile- aluminum or galvanized steel. To increase strength, the profile is attached horizontally and vertically. To work on high-rise buildings use special equipment (suspension systems) or installers with special skills. Availability of experienced personnel on staff of the contractor company - important condition, which guarantees high quality of the work performed.

Prices

Over time, it is necessary to carry out preventive work external walls building. They are constantly under the influence of external aggressive factors, therefore preventive repair of the facade of a private or apartment building It is recommended to do it every year.

The difference between major and cosmetic repairs

Redecorating by its definition, it does not in any way affect the internal problems of the facade. In most cases, it is aimed at improving the decorative properties of wall coverings. Many owners neglect it because it is believed that the beauty of the building will not affect its load-bearing capacity. But this is not entirely true. The fact is that most of Decorative facade coatings also play a protective role.

Photo - color restoration

They prevent walls from freezing and increase their protection against moisture and mold. In particular, this applies to decorative plaster and paint. Siding panels and metal sheets, which are often used for cladding, increase the thermal insulation of walls, and when using a ventilated facade, they eliminate the problem of condensation.

Major renovation of facades buildings are complex technological process which can only be performed by specialists. It aims to restore both decorative qualities home, and extending its service life. Reconstruction is carried out in compliance with SNiP and in accordance with the requirements of the owner. During a major overhaul of the facade, the following operations are performed:

1. Calculation and measurements of load-bearing and enclosing systems, in particular, foundations and plinth surfaces;
2. Restoration of masonry or its strengthening using additional building material (brick, decorative tiles, foam blocks);
3. Insulation of walls or restoration of thermal insulation coating;
4. Reconstruction of seams, their grouting and, if necessary, re-laying of building material to make the building presentable;
5. Cleaning the facade from various contaminants, including mold, fungi, dust, dirt.

In most cases, facade work on high-rise buildings is carried out construction companies, where industrial climbers carry out repairs. In some cases, their services are also used when restoring a private structure.

But if you need a simple repair of the facade of a private house, say, laying a new layer of plaster or adding siding to the wall, then you can do it yourself.

How to repair a facade yourself

Before the beginning construction work need to develop a project. This documentation will help you create an estimate for the purchase building materials and assess the overall scope of tasks. Creating a project can be done manually or with the help of specialists who will help you select required coatings. Sometimes a special program is used for this purpose - ArchiCAD.

Repair of the facade of buildings can be carried out using the following building materials:

1. Plasters;
2. Siding panels made of plastic or metal;
3. Composite panels for arranging ventilated facades ( ceramic tile, artificial stone and others).

If cracks appear on the walls or mold is visible, then the best option finishing will be the use of plaster. It can be of several types: gypsum base and on cement. Rules for covering a building with plaster:

1. It is necessary to clean the façade of old materials. To do this, you can use abrasive paper or a wire brush. Afterwards, the wall surface is thoroughly blown and primed to ensure tight adhesion to the new layer of mortar. Please note that if you live in a humid area or mold has already appeared in the house, then you need to use materials with antibacterial properties;
2. For the best sealing of cracks and seams, reinforcing mesh is used. If you plan to insulate the facade, then you first need to install thermal insulators, and then install a mesh on the plaster. This technology is suitable for any walls (brick, foam blocks, gas blocks, etc.);
3. Next, finishing work is carried out. Decorative plaster can be: painted and colorless (white), abrasive (bark beetle), smooth, glossy and matte. Depending on its type, the method of application varies.

Sometimes, after finishing facade work, painting the surface of the building is required. Many professional organizations For this purpose, use “Elephant” paint for exterior work. You can find any color: brown, white, orange, red and others.

Carrying out repair work using siding considered the simplest and affordable option. Plaster requires certain skills in construction to ensure that the layer is as smooth and beautiful as possible, while the installation of panels can be done by beginners.

1. For any premises, before installing siding, it is necessary to install a frame supporting system. To do this, profiles made of metal or wood are installed. The average step is maintained at 60 cm, in some cases you can deviate from this size by 10–20 centimeters;
2. Afterwards, insulation is installed on the wall. You can use mineral wool, polystyrene foam, foam options. On top of them you need to put a windproof film and secure it with air plastic “parachutes” - dowels for foam plastic;
3. Installation of sheets begins from the bottom of the plinth and moves towards the roof eaves. If a ventilated façade is installed, then it is necessary to foresee in advance where the drainage will take place. waste water from the roofs;
4. The main advantage of such repairs is simplicity. The only equipment you will need is a screwdriver, a hammer drill, a level and a saw for cutting off excess pieces of siding.

Wood siding pattern

Facade repairs using composite panels can be carried out for any premises: residential apartments, houses, production workshops. Thermal panels are installed both on the frame and directly on the wall. Their installation is carried out in several stages:

1. Facade preparation;
2. Installation of panels;
3. Finishing work: cleaning, painting.

Price overview

The cost of turnkey repairs (project of work, estimates, calculations, major or cosmetic finishing of the facade) varies greatly, the price can range from several hundred rubles to tens of thousands. Let's look at the price list of companies providing office relocation and renovation:

Companies often take into account work with climbers, a design plan for the premises, as well as a sample acceptance agreement. This best option, if a complete replacement of the facade, roof covering and insulation of an apartment building is required.

Not only the appearance of an apartment building and a company office depends on the condition of the facade. When the protective layer is destroyed and cracks form, moisture begins to seep into the structure. Black spots of fungus appear in the corners. Heating requires more energy. The noise from the street is louder. Repairing the facade brings comfort back to the apartment and office. The building takes on an attractive appearance. The protective finishing layer has been restored, and the life of the house will be extended for several years.

Repair of house facade

Timely repair and finishing of the facade prolongs the life of the building and creates comfort in the home

Cosmetic repairs of facades must be carried out regularly, approximately every five years. In this case, only the finishing of the house is replaced, small thin cracks are repaired. The walls are covered with decorative and at the same time protective lining. Regular preventive maintenance will help to avoid in the near future the large costs of reconstructing the building frame during a major overhaul.
When water gets into a small crack, it expands when it freezes, destroying the material. The next drop will penetrate deeper. The wind blows away particles of finishing and bonding material. A broken drain does not drain water and wets the foundation, causing part of the foundation to sag. The house begins to get damp, cool down and fall apart more and more. In this case, only major repairs can restore the building.

Gutter replacement

Repairs to the facades of buildings and apartment buildings in the city are carried out by special teams equipped with lifts or climbing equipment. You can put your private house in order with your own hands.

The sequence of work is the same:

1. Inspection of the entire facade, determining the degree of destruction and the scope of future repairs.
2. Cleaning all cracks, moisture stains, salt protrusions and places where the finish is crumbling.
3. Elimination of causes of wetting and salt formation, treatment of cleaned areas.
4. Cleaning from dirt, dust, applying a primer or protective composition to the walls.
5. Facade finishing.

If large cracks are detected, major repairs are necessary.

Crack on the facade

Cosmetic repair of a plastered facade

Brickwork and plaster suffer more than other types of finishing from destruction by rain and frost. Such buildings require regular façade repairs. These are mainly apartment buildings built in the second half of the last century.
I am constantly doing renovation work. I start by cleaning the plaster from dirt. At the same time, I tap the entire surface in search of hidden voids. These may include cracks and peeling finishes. The penetration of salt is noticeable immediately; it stands out as whitish spots. I carefully repair all defects. In places where moisture and salt accumulate, I examine the walls inside. Perhaps pores have formed on old pipes or dew accumulates due to damaged thermal insulation.

Plastering the facade

I continue after troubleshooting:

• I clean out all voids and peelings;
• I select salt plants to their full depth and treat the places where they form with a special composition;
• I first seal cracks and deep dents and apply reinforced mesh fiberglass;
• I cover the wall with a layer of plaster, embed the mesh in it vertically with an overlap;
• I install a profile in the corners to strengthen them;
• I apply a finishing coat;
• after drying, I cover it with decorative acrylic putty or paint.

Walls finished with plaster and tiles are less susceptible to damage. The seams absorb moisture and fall out. It is necessary to check and tap each one at the beginning of the repair.

Wall insulation work

Brick absorbs moisture and does not store heat well, especially silicate brick. Repairing the facade of an apartment building often includes insulation. For the right choice materials and type of installation, it is necessary to make a project for the reconstruction of the facade and technical task for builders. This is what architects do. The work procedure remains the same, only after processing and leveling the walls is the insulation installed on the façade.

Facade insulation wooden house expanded polystyrene

For a tight fit of thermal panels you need Smooth surface. All cracks and potholes are sealed. Then the flatness is examined using a ruler. Deviation up to 2 mm. The angular level is checked vertical position walls. When tilted, water will drain and icicles will form. To improve adhesion, the facade is coated with a primer.
The boards are glued to the wall surface special glue. It is bought ready-made in the store. It is selected based on the materials that will be glued. Insulation made of basalt and stone wool additionally fixed with umbrella dowels. Mineral wool is placed between wooden planks and covered with fiber or film. Waterproofing is being done. Moisture removed from the wall to the outside will flow down it. Then plaster with mesh for strength and finishing. Facade repairs should be carried out in dry weather, preferably in summer.

Wall insulation work

Inspection and major repairs of the building structure

A signal for urgent major repairs is the formation of cracks from the foundation to the roof and horizontal cracks in the areas of floors between floors. This means that the house is shrinking and warping. Repair of the facade of a house should begin with a detailed examination, which must be performed in one of the specialized companies licensed to carry out this work. The causes of cracks are eliminated before façade work begins.
Basically, the distortion of the house structure causes soil subsidence on small area. It can be provoked groundwater, broken drain, violation of foundation waterproofing, simple negligence and water leakage from the water supply or sewerage system. An inspection of an apartment building is carried out not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

House in need of major renovation

A technical specification is being drawn up to eliminate the causes that caused the destruction of the house and carry out major repairs. The foundation is being strengthened and the gutters are being repaired. After this, the cracks are cut out and covered. The use of a mesh is mandatory. All work must be done by specialized organizations for the project of reconstruction and repair of the facade.

Attention! IN major cities, historical places and for ancient buildings it is necessary to issue a color passport for the facade. You cannot change the color and decor without permission.

Major home renovation

Wet and ventilated façade

Insulated facades are inspected and a list of defects is compiled. This could be corrosion of the metal profile, destruction of insulation or siding panels due to moisture. Rodents love foam plastic. Mineral wool rots when exposed to moisture. Then all damaged materials are removed and defects are cleaned. The insulation is being replaced and new cladding is being done.
Finishing slabs protect external walls well from wind, rain and protect from frost. Therefore, it is enough for insulated facades to carry out redecorating once every five years. Cladding made of natural and artificial stone It is advisable to cover every three years protective composition. Apply a waterproofing coating to the seams between clinker and porcelain tiles. Then the facade will need major repairs in 50 years or later.

Waterproofing coating on the seams between tiles

Do-it-yourself façade repair of a private house

The advantage of a private house is its low height. To carry out repair work, no special lifting equipment is needed. It is enough to make scaffolding or install a sliding ladder. Caring for the integrity of the home. It is necessary to regularly inspect the house from the outside and inside for the formation of cracks, damp and salt stains.
Insulation and finishing should be done immediately after completion of the installation of walls and roof. Then the house will last a long time and will be cozy. The repair procedure is the same as for an apartment building. The facade is cleaned, the surface is leveled and finally decorative finishing. All work is carried out at above-zero temperatures.

Repair work has been completed

Before finishing the building, it is necessary to make calculations for the vapor permeability of the materials. It should increase from the inside of the wall to the outside. Then the moisture that gets into the masonry will be discharged outside. Load bearing capacity the foundation must be sufficient to support the additional weight of the insulation and cladding. When in doubt, use lightweight materials: foam, mineral wool, acrylic and vinyl siding on a wooden beam.

Periodic renovation of the facades of suburban buildings (at least once every 25 years) aims to replace worn-out and deteriorating finishing elements with new ones. When repairing the facade with your own hands, you can simultaneously make some changes to the appearance of the building by partially changing the design individual elements facade design.

Preparatory stage

Repairing a façade is a fairly responsible undertaking that requires the contractor to invest a significant amount of time and effort, as well as to have certain skills in carrying out repair work. In addition to this, on preparatory stage a schedule of upcoming repairs must be thought out and a step-by-step plan for the upcoming work must be drawn up, taking into account all possible nuances.

When planning the main events, one should not lose sight of the fact that when updating the facade, the protection of the building from external climatic factors should be taken into account, namely:

• heat and sound insulation protection;
• protection from precipitation and wind;
• fire resistance.

Besides, external cladding the building should be easy to maintain, and it is also desirable that it have the ability to self-clean. Domestic industry produces different kinds finishing material, meeting the above requirements, but this article will discuss only a few of them.

Selection of finishing material

Let’s immediately say that a major renovation of the facade of a house can be accompanied by a complete update of its appearance through the use of new (most modern) types of finishing materials.

Among known species facing coatings are especially popular:

• finishing plaster mixtures, characterized by a very reasonable price and simplicity of the finishing (application) process;
• siding decorative panels, giving the facade of the building a rather strict and attractive appearance;
• traditional tile materials;
• porcelain stoneware

Let's look at each of these materials in more detail.

Usage plaster mixtures(most often as a preparatory layer) will hide all existing flaws and unevenness of the facade surface and obtain a completely attractive and uniform coating. Such mixtures are available in two different versions, differing in their base, which can be ordinary cement or more expensive gypsum.

This finishing material allows you to obtain a uniform surface, the quality of which does not depend on the type of existing base (wood, brick or concrete).

The disadvantage of this choice is the increased labor intensity of finishing work and, as a consequence, an increase in the period of repair of the building (this is explained by the fact that all plastering work is carried out, as a rule, manually).

Using siding

Siding coating can be used to finish any type of base (wood, brick, stone or plaster); It is easy to install and has the following remarkable characteristics:

• durability;
• external attractiveness;
• resistance to external destructive influences;
• environmental friendliness.

When finishing surfaces made of brick or wood, siding panels can be mounted directly on the walls of the building. In case of cladding uneven surfaces, and also for additional insulation of the facade of the building you will have to use lathing made from well-dried bars with a cross-section of 50x50 mm.

According to the manufacturer's instructions, installation of siding panels begins from the bottom up.

The individual panels of the set should not fit very tightly to other elements of the set, that is, they should be mounted with a small thermal gap. Working fasteners for plates, equipped with large caps, must be located strictly in the center of a specially prepared recess.

Traditional finishes

Before repairing the facade of a building, you should remember such common types of finishing as tiles and porcelain stoneware, which are traditionally used as facade finishing materials. A wide range of color shades and sizes of elements of such coatings allows you to choose the most suitable finishing option for your conditions. Taking into account all that has been said, their choice for finishing the facades of a building can be considered completely justified.

We also note that neither tiles nor porcelain stoneware require additional care, while offering good value for money. Thus, in principle, any owner of a private home can afford to choose this classic finishing material.
