Decorative panels for exterior wall decoration of a private house

Exterior decoration is the face of the house, the correct choice of its quality, decorativeness and durability largely determine the facade design of a residential building. In modern low-rise and individual construction, continuous plastering of the facade is already less often used, decorative panels are more often used for external wall decoration.

Most of them quite accurately imitate natural materials, while having a significantly lower cost. Besides,

facade cladding with decorative panels "like a stone" is much less labor-intensive than finishing external walls with tiles made of natural marble or granite.

Decorative wall decoration at home

The exterior decoration of the walls of the house, regardless of the type, must have the following properties:

decorativeness, which forms the "face" of the house, and to some extent testifies to the tastes and preferences of the owners;

resistance to the adverse effects of negative atmospheric conditions, solar radiation and environmental pollution;

Fastening facade panels to the wall

environmental friendliness, which guarantees that the material will not harm the environment;

high strength of the decorative coating, which in turn ensures its durability;

high heat and sound insulating properties, which increases the comfort of living.

Eco-friendly decorative panels

Before planning cladding work with decorative panels for exterior wall decoration of the house, you need to familiarize yourself not only with their strength characteristics and decorative properties, but also study the conditions of use, paying attention to the manufacturer.

Today, the same category of facing slabs can have different physical and mechanical characteristics and size-mass parameters from different manufacturers.

Examples of style solutions for decorative panels

Of course, not all panels can be used recklessly. Some of them are intended for walls built from any material, others can only be used for cladding brick walls.

Brick-like panels

Brick itself is a good building material from an aesthetic point of view. If the walls are built of pressed high-quality bricks, and the mortar joints are "embroidered", then in many cases the facade does not require additional decoration.

Decorative panels for brick

Currently produced decorative panels for exterior wall decoration "like a brick" can be used in houses built of gas silicate

blocks, sawn stone, cinder blocks. Compared to cladding facades with conventional clinker tiles, the cost of finishing is less, and the complexity of finishing work is much lower.

It is possible to visually distinguish the panel or tiled cladding of a house with clinker bricks only from a close distance. In this case, the manufactured panel coverings can have a homogeneous or combined design.

The latter are supplemented with a separate insulating layer, which is used as expanded polystyrene. For the manufacture of homogeneous products, polyvinyl chloride is used, painted and textured using a special technology.

Component panels for the outside of the building

Panel materials that imitate bricks are not critical to changes in outdoor temperature, they resist well to all types of precipitation and are not afraid of icing. If decorative brick tiles are hygroscopic to a certain extent, then this disadvantage is absent in panel materials.

Fastening the decorative panel to the lathing

An important factor in the use of decorative panels for exterior wall decoration of the house is their weight, which in specific terms is much lower than any type of ceramic and porcelain stoneware tiles.

Panel materials "under the stone"

Of course, finishing the facade with natural stone, even if not marble or granite, but also sawn shell rock, looks exclusive and attracts the attention of all aesthetes.

Stone decorative panel

However, the cost of the cheapest stone tiles is much higher than the cost of panel counterparts made of artificial materials, mainly made of polyvinyl chloride plastic. The manufacturing technology of facing "under a stone" is similar to brick panels.

Decorating the walls of the house with unique decorative stone panels

To give more imitation authenticity to decorative panels for

exterior decoration of the walls of the house "like a stone", special pigments are added to polyvinyl chloride and a unique structuring technology has been developed. Recently, panels have appeared that quite accurately visualize not only the cladding, but also the laying of walls made of "wild stone".

Variety of decorative stone panels

Unlike brick PVC panel cladding, stone imitation has a greater price range. At the same time, the price is curled mainly on the texture of the outer surface of the panel, its thickness and color.

Some pigments are significantly higher than standard brick-like coloring additives, the color gamut of which is limited.

Fiber cement facade cladding slabs

Fiber cement decorative panels for exterior wall decoration of the house are made on the basis of cement with the addition of microgranules, which, depending on the humidity of the outside air, absorb or release excess moisture. This material is protected by a double-sided special coating, has a higher strength compared to polyvinyl chloride and has a high fire resistance.

Facade cladding with fiber cement panels

Due to its high environmental friendliness, guaranteed by an additional coating, this material is successfully used for interior decoration of bathrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. The undoubted advantage of this material is the possibility of additional coloring, if the factory color is somehow not suitable for the user.

Durable fiber cement facade cladding panels

Some builders are critical of fiber cement due to its hygroscopicity. At high humidity, the granules, swelling, somewhat deform the facing panel itself. However, this does not reduce the strength characteristics of the material and does not affect its rigidity and durability.

Of all facing panel materials-imitators, fiber cement slabs have the highest cost, which is due to the high price of the microgranules used. However, even the "higher" cost is incomparable with the price of natural stone or ceramic tiles.
