The basement of the building is located below, so it is not only very much exposed to atmospheric precipitation, but also suffers from proximity to raw land, puddles and snow snowdrifts. If plastering mixtures and tiles were previously used everywhere to protect the facade, but now various options for finishing the basement of siding are increasingly used. It turned out that the advantages of this type of wall cladding are very significant, it is not surprising that more and more houses in different regions are decorated with facade panels of the most diverse texture and coloring.
What are basement siding from?
The main materials for the production of basement siding are vinyl, polypropylene, metal, as well as fiber cement compounds. They are well suited for simulating various natural textures of natural stone, wood and brick. The strength characteristics of such siding are high and it is well used to facing the surface outside the house. By the way, ordinary wall panels have two or three smaller thickness once, so when buying a material for finishing the basement with vinyl siding, pay attention to this parameter.
Varieties of basement siding
If you want to finish the base with a metal siding, then you can purchase panels of aluminum, painted or galvanized steel. Aluminum is better confronting corrosion, but in the event of dents, it is not subject to restoration. Steel is better opposed to mechanical effects, but it also has some disadvantages. For example, in places where the panels were cut to pieces, sometimes over time, the polymer coating is exfoliated from the metal. The main advantages of such siding are fire resistance, acceptable strength and durability.
Now the finish of the PVC basement with siding for tiles, brick or stone is increasingly popular. Polymers differ in affordable cost, resistance to moisture, such panels do not rot and are not deformed from heat or frosts. A convenient locking system, as well as the presence of corner parts, allows you to very quickly perform all facing work.
Fibrim -cement siding is made from a mixture of cement and cellulose fibers, it also imitates any natural decorative coatings well. In terms of strength, fire resistance and noise -insulating qualities, this material is even better than metal and polymer panels. Its disadvantage is insufficient moisture resistance, which can be eliminated by using a special protective film. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that fiber cement siding is heavier than its competitors, its installation is overlapped when using screws or metal plates.
