The basement of the house can be a separate design on the foundation or its continuation. But regardless of the chosen type of construction, it is the lower part of the house that is usually devoted to the maximum time in terms of finishing, waterproofing and insulation. In this article, we will touch on the issue of decorative cladding, the choice of the most suitable basement material and possible options.
Brinding the basement plaster
Most often, the plaster is applied to the already insulated frame, after fixing the mesh. What is this grid for? The fact is that no one is safe from the differences and irregularities of the wall, and the decorative layer itself is sometimes superimposed in 12 mm or more. Under such conditions, it is the grid that becomes the connecting link that will hold the entire mass of the decorative layer.

Stone for cladding basement
This is perhaps the most traditional decoration option. In the past, natural stone was expensive, but very durable for cladding of the basement. Currently, it is used a little less often, as artificial materials have appeared, and the price does not become lower over the years.
Both natural and production analogues will fully justify your expectations and will serve faithfully up to 50 years. Outwardly, artificial stone differs little from natural, but for the price of cladding the basement, this will be significant. As for installation, only the masters of their craft should work with natural materials, because there are a lot of subtleties and nuances of the size and installation, and the price of the stone is high. In the case of factory stoves under stone, everything is much easier and here you can do on your own. The stone cladding of the basement will look quite harmonious in tandem with decorative plaster, other types of stone and, of course, wood.

Tiles cladding with tiles
In working with tile materials, there is always an advantage in the form of simplicity of calculation and styling. In the issue of cladding of the basement, preference is given to porcelain tiles. The material is known for its wear resistance, excellent endurance for severe frosts and temperature changes, and it is also pleasant to the eye.
The cladding of the basement of the house with a brick or clinker tile is not used often. It will seem visually that the entire wall is completely laid out with brick. But if used by real clinker brick, the cost of cladding of the basement will turn out to be very high, and in the case of tiles the price decrease significantly. For the designer, this solution is good in that color diversity allows you to successfully combine the shades of the basement and tiles, the walls themselves. If we talk about the method of fixing the tiles, that is, two main types: on adhesive mixtures or using a frame. The second method will be more expensive, but its reliability exceeds the ability of the mixtures by many times.

Cladding of the basement of the house siding
When your desires and the presence of the budget do not coincide, you have to look for the optimal solution. Fortunately, the chemical and construction industries do not stand still, and now such a solution has been found. Want the finish of the basement with stone, wood or brick? No problem! Now PVC will replace all this, and in a matter of hours you will receive a presentable base.
But it is important to remember that for the cladding of the basement and walls in general there are differences in siding, or rather the material from which it is made. The difference in additions that make the material for the base is much stronger, since this part of the house has much more mechanical damage.
PVC is one of those materials for facing the basement that can withstand very low or high temperatures without damage. A great solution when the frame of the house cannot withstand a heavier finish. Independent installation is also quite possible for siding.
