The main part of the foundation is hidden underground, but there is still a basement part of the structure, which needs protection from low temperatures and downpours. In addition, it has long been proven that a properly selected facing material is capable of decorating the facade no worse than special decorative elements. The ceramic or stone tiles were replaced by durable and beautifully visible plastic panels for the base of the house, capable of performing all the tasks listed above.
What are plinth PVC panels?
The most common is the lining of the plinth with plastic panels under the stone and brick , the decoration of the lower part of the facade "under the woodchip" is a little less common. Producers try to maximally imitate natural materials, covering decorative material with special paints and giving it the appropriate texture. At a distance, this coating can hardly be distinguished from real brick or masonry.
How is the plinth trim made with plastic panels?
Usually it all begins with the arrangement of wooden or metal battens. By the way, try to purchase material from one lot when buying a siding, otherwise the panels may differ visually on the facade. Also, it is necessary to purchase in advance the starting and finishing laths and outer corners, without which normal work on the facing of buildings is impossible.
The paneling itself is always made from left to right, in the case when the height of the plinth is high enough and two rows of material are required, try to move them to increase the strength and improve the decorative appearance of the facade. For work, both nails and self-tapping screws are used, the last kind of fasteners is considered safer. Twist them at least 6 points, leaving gaps between panels of three or four millimeters. At the end, we close the ends with a curb and set the ebb.
Fastening plastic panels to the base is not an extremely difficult task. This material is very practical and convenient to work, allowing the finishing to produce independently. In addition, it provides an opportunity to insulate the house and gives even an old construction a stunning renewed look.
