Now it’s difficult to say how they used to do without modern building materials. To date, you can combine aesthetics, practicality, quality even in inexpensive material. Here we will talk specifically about the two types of finishing material, which fully meet the above criteria.
The first type is basically natural wood. Usually, this is a pine or spruce, but there may be another wood breed used in production. To date, the House block, and this is what this material is called, is the most popular among private developers. The technology of its production is quite simple: a whole log is sawn on four sides, receiving four unreasoned boards .
Then they are dried, polished, treated with an antiseptic, and a board is obtained, flat on one side and convex on the other. As a result of prolonged drying, the surface of the House block is very durable and is not subjected to subsequent decay or deformation. Its use is possible both outside the building and from the inside.
Another type of material, siding, is used exclusively for building buildings, and it is made either from polyvinyl chloride or metal. If we talk about the universality of use, then vinyl siding, and this type of finishing material is based on polyvinyl chloride, can use at temperatures that vary from minus forty degrees to plus fifty degrees Celsius. It is quite frost -resistant and does not deform at low temperatures.
But you need to be careful when choosing this material in the construction market, because the quality of the American and Canadian manufacturer can provide quality. There are domestic manufacturers, but there are not many of them. But if you have purchased high -quality siding, then it will last you at least twenty -five years, and the maximum period of use is determined at fifty years.
But the metal siding has steel or aluminum, which do not lose their original appearance for a long time. As a rule, a siding sheet has a coverage of polymers, which gives it protection against mechanical exposure and corrosion. A polymer coating of this type can even withstand fire on a short period of time. Metal siding is used in most cases for facing industrial buildings and retail premises.
