Exterior decoration creates a first impression of the house of the guests, and provides the owners with a vast field for the embodiment of creativity. In addition to the aesthetic component, the service life of the coating and installation features are also important. Do-it-yourself video of the facade decoration simplifies the exterior decoration of the house, even for inexperienced people.

In the case of the construction of a new building, the time of the facade comes when the roof is ready and the decoration of the house outside reaches the finish line. But sometimes the old facade needs restoration or it is necessary to additionally insulate the house, then the decoration is done separately.

Among the traditional options for finishing materials for facades, choose the suitable one based on the practical requirements for exterior decoration and the budget. In the video collected in this article about the decoration of the facades of private houses, various methods of external cladding are presented.

Siding

This is a budget version of the cladding. The network contains videos about the decoration of the facade of the house with siding made of wood, metal (for example, steel or aluminum) or PVC. The first option looks the most respectable, but untreated wood as a cladding of the building is not durable. High pressure treatment helps to increase the life and improve the properties of the material.

With metal siding not much exterior finish is comparable in strength. But the specificity of this finish is the formation of a protective screen around the building. The disadvantage is the deterioration in the reception of a mobile signal from the towers. Siding made of metal does not imply a wealth of colors and textures, because it is difficult to give the buildings lined with them a unique look.

And finally, plastic siding, forming a ventilated screen around the building. This option is suitable for those for whom it is important to ensure the constant removal of excess moisture. Also in favor of vinyl is the ease of cleaning from contamination. Do-it-yourself siding is recommended to consider future compression and stretching of panels after installation, which can violate the integrity of the structure, in all videos of facade decoration.

Natural stone as an external finishing material is mounted on a brick, and on a plastered, and on a wooden, and on a concrete base. But brick and concrete are faced only after six months of shrinkage. A wall of wood is pre-waterproofed. Then a plaster layer is applied, after drying which stone tiles are glued, applying a special adhesive to both them and the base.
