Facade panels for brick

A distinctive feature of modern construction works is the use of new technologies and new construction and finishing materials. So, for example, for the restoration or warming of the facades of houses, various facade panels are increasingly used. And since for many the most common material for construction is a brick , then the most demand is for facade panels with a "brick" surface. Of course, the question is quite legitimate, why can not we use natural bricks? It is possible, but ... Is it advisable whether the existing walls of the house, for example, insulate, overlapping them anew with a brick? Perhaps - no, it's expensive. Further. At times, the load on the foundation and supporting structures will increase - will they survive? On the new clutch may appear a high. Over the years, the restoration of the surface may again be necessary - the brick under the influence of weather conditions becomes cracked, loses its external appeal, and the joints are shed. But the facade panels, due to the special production technology and the raw materials used, are absolutely deprived of all these problem nuances.

Types of facade panels for brick

As already mentioned above, for the production of facade panels (hereinafter referred to as panels for "brick") different materials are used, and they make it possible to divide them into several types: metal, plastic, based on stone talc. Since metal facade panels, as a rule, are used for facing industrial buildings, we will dwell in more detail on the remaining two types of facade panels. So ... Facade panels based on rock talc are produced with the addition of various polymers and stabilizers. This allows them to give them a high degree of resistance to mechanical damage and the effects of external adverse environments, including increased resistance to sunburn. In addition, various two-component water-based paints are introduced into the forming composition, whereby the panels are produced in the widest range of colors and shades. Another technology for the production of such facade panels involves the use of specific additives that form the texture of the surface, like a natural brick - rough, chipped, corrugated or smooth. It is this type of facade panels that best imitate the surface "facing brick", both visually and tactile. As a building material, such a brick lining is a panel thickness of 3 mm (total!) With a special locking system between each other. Finishing similar facade panels for brick is carried out without a preliminary erection of the frame - the panels are attached directly to the wall (brick, concrete, plastered) with the help of dowels.

Plastic facade panels for brick

It is no less popular type of facade panels used for exterior decoration works. Manufacture of such panels from various polymers with the addition of specific additives, stabilizers, modifiers to improve the quality and performance. The panels based on PVC (vinyl) are the most popular and available to a wide range of consumers. They can be of two types:

Finishing of facade plastic panels of both kinds is made equally - either on the frame, or glued to the base (wall). Between the panels are connected with a special lock. Just like the panels based on rock talc, plastic panels are produced with a surface that imitates various rocks and shades of bricks.
