Siding and facing materials

What is the siding?

According to the best traditions of American building technologies used frame-shield method of construction. In this method, first was erected bearing frame, which then sewed facade material. In most cases, he sheathed special sheathing board, which the Americans and called "siding". In our market, too siding is no longer news but it is often called the "American".

Siding - a board variable structure, made of coniferous trees such as pine, spruce or fir. To avoid additional costs for a wind shield and protection from precipitation allows stacking "overlap".

Since wood is not the most durable and cheap material, it must be properly and regularly handle antiseptiruyushimi vlagoizoliruyuschimi compositions. This often causes many problems and extra costs. But progress is not standing still and in accordance with market demand after the Second World War, many companies have begun experimenting with the use of relatively cheap chemical polymer - polyvinyl chloride (PVC). As a result of this multifunctional material has found wide application in many fields including construction (window and door profiles, santehoborudovanie, all kinds of films and coatings). Established and PVC panels for cladding facades, they then replaced the sheathing board, and the name they had in her honor - "vinil siding" (vinyl siding). Note that the profile of vinyl siding exactly reproduces the profile exactly sheathing boards.

After siding appeared and modifications in the form of metal siding (aluminum and steel) and PVC panels that simulate different types of finishes (brick, stone and etc.). The concept of siding has been so extended in the U.S., which it now defines the technology front paneling any hanging materials. The same term "siding" have come to define any panel for exterior decoration of buildings.

vinyl siding

vinyl siding is a solid cover is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in the form of strips (panels). Each band (panel) is a monolithic (homogeneous) PVC sheet, which gives a definite form. The length of the panels is 2-6 m, width of 10-30 cm, thickness according to American standards 0,96-1,2 mm. Some bands are easily used in any size in length. At the bottom of each band has a lock-latch at the top - perforated edge for fastening the panel to the wall with nails (screws) and mate-lock latch. Depending on the height of the wall panels are mounted overlapping, so that the locking bar just closes higher on the response of nizheustanovlennoy panel, thereby closing slot for driving nails and giving Riding attractive sheathing boards.

TYPES Panel and surface texture

In the first place it is important to know that the form of panels of siding can imitate the four-and five-inch plank. In the United States traditionally used slate "tree", in Europe - "ship-board." Siding can be either single or double and even triple, the producers call it a form factor. The marking panel form factor is denoted as follows:

• Single (Single) - S;
• Dual (Double) - D;
• triple (Triple) - T.

width "board" siding can be determined from the figures after the designation of the form factor, for example: D4 - double bar, with wide strips 4 inches ; T3.5-triple panel with a width of each rack 3,5 inch (2x114.3 mm); S2 - single panel, with a width of each rail 2 inches. The surface of the vinyl siding can be embossed (simulates different kinds of wood) or smooth. Smooth Zaidn cheaper than corrugated.

Basically, sales are siding "standard" sizes. But you can find and "nonstandard" siding, for example, with a width of "boards" 6 and 6.5 inches. And the form he can be very different from the "tree" and "ship" boards. The form looks similar panels from different manufacturers can vary drastically and that says that there is no standard. Being different may form panels of various series in one and the same manufacturer.
