Exterior finish in the form of siding is great for the facades of a variety of buildings, from wood to sandwich panels. In addition, the load on the foundation is minimal.
Following the simple instructions for installing the siding with your own hands, very soon your house will be transformed. The cost is low, performance is excellent. You will need several kinds of panels and slats. All materials should be purchased with a margin of 10-15% due to the inevitable pruning.
Step by step installation of the siding with your own hands: preparatory work
Vinyl finish is beneficial for any type of wall, including insulated brick, as in our case. All irregularities and defects will be hidden under the ideal siding surface. Let's proceed:
- Our walls are insulated with extruded polystyrene foam all the way, so the galvanized frame will be installed on top of the heater.
- After marking we drill holes for the future suspensions with a perforator. "Plant" them on the dowel-nails diameter of 8 mm, 100 mm length. When the suspensions are fixed to the wall, install the vertical profiles. On one profile, 3-4 suspensions are required. External corners are placed on both sides of the wall.
- The same profiles frame the windows.
If the siding comes with a break, an H-profile is used, "sitting" on 2 galvanized profiles. The preparatory work is finished.
Features of vinyl siding installation with their own hands
- It all begins with the installation of the starting strip. Remember that the screws do not screw up to 1 mm, to ensure the free stroke of the panel with temperature fluctuations.
- On the perimeter of the windows are installed prikonnye bars, for the removal of water are made "ears".
- In the starting strip the ordinary panel snaps into place, the screws are placed in the center of the perforation.
Check the contiguity of adjacent elements.
We get:
- In the roof area we extend the profiles, along the perimeter of the roof slope J-profiles are installed.
- According to the same scheme of the siding installation, the "pre-roast" part is attached by hand.
Appreciate the result!
