Possible options for finishing the facade of the house with your own hands. Recommendations for the manufacture of furniture facades on their own Do-it-yourself house cladding

What to choose for facing the facade of the house, what material is better, how long will it last, how much does it correspond to the architectural features of the building and interior decoration? Perhaps these are the main issues that the owner of a private house has to solve at the final stage of construction or overhaul when it's time to choose materials for finishing the facade of a private house.

Decorating a home is like clothing for a person - it protects and decorates

Facade decoration, as part of the general idea - what to look for

The choice of materials for facade decoration depends on many factors. Of course, there is no universal answer to the question of what is better to veneer the facade of the house. Here are just the main points to consider:

the facade is the appearance of the building, forming the impression of its architectural features;

the exterior of the house should organically fit into the general space of the site, taking into account the rest of the buildings and the landscape;

style must comply with established national traditions;

design and materials of external and internal decoration should harmoniously complement each other and work towards a common idea;

cladding should be carried out using energy-saving technologies.

Installation of insulation is increasingly perceived as a mandatory part finishing works

And the main task that needs to be solved is to meet certain budgetary limits.

style classic

There are such classic finishing materials for the facades of private houses: brick, wood and plaster. They also use natural stone, but tiles from it are expensive, so they often choose a modern analogue - facade porcelain stoneware.

Brick

This finishing material cannot be called cheap in terms of a one-time investment.

Facade decoration can turn frame house in brick

But taking into account the service life of tens of years, the absence of the need to repair the facade and ease of maintenance, the situation is changing to the exact opposite - this is one of the most profitable types of cladding. But it also has its own hierarchy:

Facing ceramic brick. Most inexpensive look- the price of a single one starts from 7.60 rubles. and can reach up to 17 rubles. per piece (depending on the manufacturer and the decorative texture of the front surface). The cost of 1 m2 lies in the range of 390-850 rubles.

Hyper pressed brick. price of one building block twice as expensive ceramic brick, but this species has its own formats, so it is better to compare prices for 1 m2 of half-brick masonry. Relatively inexpensive option will cost 900-950 rubles, with a textured surface - twice as expensive.

Clinker brick. The most durable, but also the most expensive type facing brick industrial production. If we slightly round the prices, then 1 pc. will cost from 20 to 90 rubles, and 1 m2, respectively, will cost 900-4300 rubles.

Variegated Bavarian clinker brickwork gives the house a special chic

Brick hand molded. Like clinker, it is an elite material. Piece cost from 40 rubles. and higher (there are models more expensive than four times the lower price). But taking into account different formats it is better to quote the price of 1 m2, and it starts from 2100 rubles. and can reach the mark of 14,000 rubles.

The prices shown do not include shipping costs. masonry mortar and work. And if you still carry out insulation, then you need to add on the costs for this part (although this stage is common for most facade cladding technologies).

If you choose clinker or hand-molded bricks, then there is an opportunity to save money - choose a domestic manufacturer (lower price thresholds are indicated specifically for him). But the standard of quality is considered to be products from Germany.

And in order to dispel the allegations about the benefits of ceramic tiles for brick - the price of clinker tiles is almost the same as brick, and the cost of 1 m2 of hand-molded tiles can reach the level of 8000 rubles. And it all depends on the chosen trademark. When choosing a tile, you can save only on the foundation due to the lower weight of the cladding.

The weight of the tile is clearly less than that of the brick

On our website you can find contacts of construction companies that offer home finishing and insulation services. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".

Therefore, when it is necessary to choose how to clad the facade of the house inexpensively and beautifully, it is better to use domestic facing bricks.

Tree

This material is also in demand for finishing country houses v rustic style, and for modern cottages in today's popular eco-style.

Therefore, all types of facade wooden panels are "in use":

Facade lining. It differs from the interior only in thickness (14 mm and above). The cost of 1 m2 depends on the type of wood, grade and humidity. Inexpensive pine lining natural humidity costs 170-220 rubles, and larch of the Extra class will cost 1200-1350 rubles. (which is comparable to the cost of domestic clinker bricks). The width of the panel also affects the price of a "area unit" - a narrow lining is cheaper.

Sheathing a house with clapboard is one of the most inexpensive and attractive options.

Imitation of a bar. This is practically the same lining of the “standard” type (with a chamfer), but thicker. The minimum price of 1 m2 of pine grade "BC" is 220 rubles. (with a thickness of 18 mm), and for class "A" and a thickness of 21 mm you will have to pay one and a half times more. A larch panel with a thickness of 20 mm will cost at the level of 800 rubles / m2 (class "AB") and 1400 rubles / m2 (class "Extra").

There are practically no external differences from the usual facade lining in the imitation of timber

Block house. The difference from lining is a rounded surface “under a log” (imitation of a log house). Pine with a thickness of 27 mm and a width of 135 mm will cost around 300 rubles / m2 (“BC”), a thickness of 45 mm and a width of 230 mm - 650-750 rubles / m2 (“A”). The same larch block house costs an average of 2.5 times more.

Block house imitates the wall of a log house

Planken. Another type of sheathing board, but without fastening between a "thorn-groove". It happens with an oblique and straight profile, and the most characteristic difference is the gap between the panels. It costs approximately the same as an imitation of a bar.

Planken fits perfectly into modern architectural style

Plaster

This is the most inexpensive type of facade decoration. But even here there are "economy" and "extra" classes:

Mineral facade plaster based on cement, lime and mixtures thereof. The simplest type of leveling plaster costs from 220-250 rubles. per bag of dry mix weighing 25 kg. At a consumption rate of about 12-15 kg per 1 m2 (with a layer thickness of 10 mm), it is necessary to spend only 110-120 rubles per "area unit". Plus primer, work and facade paint.

An example of a mineral finish facade plaster

Mineral decorative plaster. If you plaster in two layers - the main and decorative, then they also use plaster such as "fur coat", "bark beetle" or "pebble". A bag of 25 kg costs - 360-800 rubles, but due to the thin layer, the consumption is less - from 2.5 kg to 4 kg per 1 m2, and this will increase the price by another 60-120 rubles / m2. In total, about 250-400 rubles / m2 should be spent on all materials for inexpensive finishing of the facade of a house made of mineral plaster. But these are prices. domestic manufacturers, "foreign" decorative plaster can cost at least 3 times more.

Plaster with the effect of "bark beetle" is always in stock with any type of binder

Acrylic plaster. Sold in ready-made or diluted to the desired consistency with water. Consumption from 1.5 to 3.5 kg/m2 (the thinnest layers can even be applied with a spray gun). Depending on the weight of the packaging, 1 kg of domestic plaster costs 70-90 rubles. Taking into account the expense, the cost of materials finishing lies in the range of 100-300 rubles / m2. Plus, you need to add the cost of a leveling layer of mineral plaster, primer, work and paint.

Acrylic facade plaster looks good not only in one color, but also with their combination

silicate plaster. Ceresite in terms of a kilogram costs 100-120 rubles, which, at a consumption rate of 3-3.5 kg / m2, determines the cost of materials finish coat at the level of 300-400 rubles / m2 (but this is not a purely silicate binder, but in combination with silicone resins). And it is more expensive than finishing with acrylic plaster. If you choose a mixture of imported production, then the cost of finishing doubles.

Silicate plaster with a rough surface is not afraid of temperature changes and high humidity

Silicone plaster. If you do not take into account the "hybrid" Ceresite and mixtures with a binder in combination with acrylic polymers, then in its pure form the most inexpensive facade silicone plaster in terms of a kilogram costs at least 150 rubles, and on average - about 200 rubles. Consumption, like the rest decorative coatings, depends on the grain size of the filler (layer thickness), and can range from 2.5 to 4 kg/m2. Therefore, this type is the most expensive - the cost of the finishing coating is 350-800 rubles / m2, and this is already comparable to the price of facing with domestic ceramic bricks.

The colors and textures of silicone plaster allow you to choose it for any artistic design.

Siding

This is the general name for a whole group of materials that differ in the material of manufacture and operational characteristics. Many factors influence the formation of prices, and the spread of prices even in one category is very large. Therefore, the statement about the low cost of this type of finish is not entirely correct. Although there is a certain hierarchy here, and the question arises of how to finish the facade from the presented types of siding:

Vinyl wall siding. The price of products of a domestic manufacturer starts from 165 rubles / m2 and reaches 500 rubles / m2 (and this is with the same thickness of 1.1 mm). For imported siding, you will have to pay twice as much - up to 1000 rubles / m2.

Vinyl siding - inexpensive and aesthetically pleasing

Vinyl plinth siding. It differs from the wall one in greater thickness and high mechanical strength. Therefore, for domestic manufacturers, the price starts from 470 rubles / m2 and reaches 1300 rubles / m2. To buy imported siding, you have to pay 1000-2000 rubles. more.

Clearly about vinyl siding look at the video:

Metal siding. In terms of price, it doesn't cost much more than vinyl wall siding. Moreover, the cost is affected not so much by the origin as by the thickness of the metal and the type of coating. But in any case, the price difference is not so significant. For example, domestic siding 0.4 mm thick coated with polyester costs from 260 rubles/m2, and Finnish siding 0.5 mm thick covered with pural will cost 800 rubles/m2.

Metal siding can be made in many textures, including wood grain. Video example:

Fiber cement siding and WPC sheathing(wood-polymer composite). Approximately the same cost materials - 1000-2000 rubles / m2. The main reason for the high cost is imports. But when compared with foreign vinyl basement siding, then this is the same price category.

WPC siding does not visually differ from planken natural wood but will last much longer.

If the task is to decorate the facade of the house inexpensively, then vinyl or steel siding domestic production as part of hinged facade- most best option. Although here it will also be necessary additional expenses for accessories (up to 30% of the cost of the panels).

Conclusion

The most popular types of facade decoration are given. In principle, in each category there are options that allow you to meet 500 rubles. at the cost of materials square meter. And you just need to decide which one best suits the architecture of the house, landscape and interior decoration.

Everyone knows that the facade of the house is its face. A beautiful and well-groomed appearance always makes a positive impression. Also, the decor of the facade of the house allows you to draw conclusions about the tastes of the owners of the house. The design should be not only original, but also functional, that is, it should have heat-saving, moisture-proof, fireproof qualities.

This insulation technology allows you to give the exterior of the building a unique appearance.

As already mentioned, the installation of foam products is affordable and does not have any particular difficulties. It is quite possible to decorate the facade yourself. To do this, you will need to follow these steps in sequence:

1. Clean the surface from dirt, dust.
2. Prime the wall and leave it to dry overnight.
3. cook everything necessary materials for fasteners (glue, studs, dowels) and wall processing after fixing parts (mounting foam, primer, paint).
4. Mark the location of the decorative elements on the facade, the sequence of their fastening, strengthen the dowels in the wall.
5. Check all foam products for cleanliness, drill holes for dowels (it is necessary to ensure that there is no exit to the outer surface).
6. Apply glue to the parts and fix them on the facade.
7. Carefully seal all seams with foam.
8. Prime the surface and cover with paint.

Glass fiber reinforced concrete

Fibre-reinforced concrete is a type durable stone made of artificial fibers (outwardly resembles a natural stone). Glass fiber reinforced concrete is much stronger and more reliable in operation than the previously considered foam. Architectural products look like a shell up to 25mm thick, which is attached to the surface. Fiberglass concrete is distinguished by the following qualities:

• high strength;
• crack resistance;
• reduced fragility of elements (achieved due to the possibility of minor deformations);
• moisture resistance;
• resistance to sudden temperature changes;
• ease;
• ease of installation.

Decorative plaster will give the wall a unique look

The walls of the house made of facing bricks do not heat up in the heat and retain heat in the winter when frost cracks

A metal roof will last a very long time in all weather conditions.

In spite of big number The advantages of fiberglass concrete, there are several of its disadvantages:

1. Compared to analog materials, the mass is greater.
2. High price.
3. Complex fastening system.
4. The need for accurate installation drawings.

Important! For the development of drawings, it is better to contact specialists who can accurately calculate the location of each component of the glass fiber concrete decor on the facade of the house.

Attention! All work is carried out after the completion of the construction of the walls.

• high strength;
• lightness (especially in comparison with glass fiber reinforced concrete);
• resistance to temperature changes;
• very strong and reliable fixing on the surface;
• no deformation
• the ability to create any patterns without restrictions.

Thanks to the decoration of facades with decorative plaster, any building acquires an elegant and respectable look.

Acrylic siding retains its strength throughout the entire period of operation, does not fade and is resistant to temperature extremes

This type of wall decoration will withstand the effects of precipitation and low temperatures for many years without losing its shape.

Installation can be done without the help of specialists. The main thing is to perform all actions accurately and accurately. The installation sequence is as follows:

1. Thorough cleaning of the facade.
2. Marking the location of the decor elements of their fasteners.
3. Installation of dowels in the designated places.
4. Processing the back surface of all parts fine sandpaper and drilling holes in them for dowels.
5. Primer of all elements (then it is necessary to dry during the day).
6. Attach to wall with adhesive.
7. Fastening with nails.
8. Finishing joints, grouting nail heads.
9. Painting.

Polymer concrete

Products for facade decoration made of polymer concrete are no less popular. They may include the following components:

• quartz sand;
• crushed stone;
• resin.

Its main difference from the materials considered above is a striking resemblance to natural stone. The products themselves are light in weight and easy to install. According to the sketch, you can order the production of decor of absolutely any shape or size. It all depends on the desire and imagination of the customer.

In addition to facade decoration, polymer concrete is often used to create columns and stair railings.

This insulation technology allows you to give the exterior of the building a unique appearance due to the abundance of decorative paints.

The choice of facade decor

When choosing a material for the manufacture of facades, it is necessary to take into account the general style of the building. The main thing is that the whole finish looks harmonious, there is no congestion.

Experts recommend the horizontal division of the building with the help of decor, when you want to emphasize its solidity. This view is suitable for buildings with a small number of floors. But a tall house with a short facade is better to transform with vertical elements.

The combination of decorative elements of different directions in common plane requires careful preparation and thoughtfulness of the whole composition.

2. Moldings. This group may include window frames, different type crowns and cornices, window sills, unique in their architecture. They contribute to the original zoning of the building.

The choice of material largely depends on the volume of decorative elements and their location on the facade.

50 photo ideas for finishing the facade of the house:

Appearance facade is responsible not only for the uniqueness of the structure, its attractiveness, but also for protecting the walls from all sorts of negative factors environment. Properly selected finishing material outside at home allows you to increase the reliability of the structure, increase its thermal insulation characteristics, soundproofing and extend the life of the building. Therefore, many homeowners face the question of how to make the facade of the building not only beautiful, but also reliable.

The material for finishing the facade must be selected correctly, in accordance with the characteristics of the building, because. the reliability of the protection of the walls depends on it.

First of all, you need to understand what result you want to get. The exterior of the building plays at least important role v overall design your home than the interior. The first thing that will catch the eye of your guests is the facade of the house. On the market building materials a wide range of materials for finishing the facades of buildings is presented, starting to choose which you should rely on personal preferences, the climate of your region and the type of material used in the construction of the walls.

Facade finishing materials

For cladding the facade of the house is used various materials, which differ in cost, characteristics and the result that will be achieved after facing. All finishing materials can be divided into groups, which will include products with similar properties. Stone materials for building facade cladding: this group of materials is characterized by reliability, service quality and durability. Stone materials can be both natural and artificial. At the same time, artificial facing stone has its own types:

1. Material based on lime or cement materials. These include white brick, ceramic tile and glass.
2. Fake diamond made on a plaster basis.
3. Stone made from clay.

Important! The advantage of using artificial stone is that the material has a rich color palette, as well as a variety of textures.

Ceramics has the most high reliability and durability. Artificial stone looks no worse than natural, but its cost is much lower.

Plastics, metals and composite materials used for exterior finish Houses. Such materials are less durable and reliable, but their use allows you to achieve a great facade design, and caring for them will not cause trouble.

You can also make the facade of the house attractive with the help of plaster. Plaster can be smooth, multi-colored and with different textures. The plaster can be based on polymers, silicates, cement, gypsum or lime.

Facade decoration involves not only right choice material, but also timely selection of tools. If you invite competent craftsmen, they will have all the necessary list of tools, but if you decide to do the finishing on your own, then before you start work, you should prepare everything that can be useful in the work. The list of tools and materials at hand may vary depending on the finish you choose. If you do not know what exactly you will need, check the list with a consultant when purchasing the material. The main tools that you may need in the course of work include:

• stairs;
• a set of hand tools;
• metal spatulas;
• brushes;
• sandpaper;
• adhesive compounds.
• perforator;
• screws, bolts, screws;
• nails, metal staples.

How to decorate a house with stone?

Most traditional way facade decoration is wall cladding with decorative bricks. The method involves laying another wall of decorative stone next to the one already built. The stone can be laid both close to the wall, and retreating some distance - this will allow you to place insulating material in the gap.

In order to connect the decorative wall of the house with the main one, various types of connections are used. A piece of reinforcement and a mesh can act as an anchor. For additional wall it is necessary to prepare a foundation, the average depth of which will be about 30 cm, and the width will be several centimeters greater than the width of the finishing stone.

Important: decorative wall made of stone will not only decorate the structure, but also increase the strength of the main walls.

Often, additional brickwork is used when they want to restore a house. If in the process of work you left a place for insulation material, then you can use backfill material from slag or expanded clay.

How to finish the facade with tiles?

Often, special cement-based adhesives are used to decorate the facade of a house with tiles. To prepare the glue, cement, washed sand and water are mixed. To improve the properties of the solution, PVA glue can be added to its composition. In the event that you want to make the facade of the house from a heavy quality tiles, the use of one adhesive material will not allow you to securely fix the tiles on the wall surface. For better fixation, fasteners such as screws, bolts or screws should be used.

Due to the fact that the facade of the house is regularly exposed to the environment, when choosing a tile, it is necessary to clarify its characteristics of moisture resistance and low temperatures. In order for a tile to be a reliable material for the facade of a house, its moisture absorption rate should not exceed 8%, and frost resistance should be resistant to at least 25 freeze and thaw cycles. Otherwise, the material will collapse very quickly.

Finishing the facade of the house with plaster with your own hands

A popular and sought-after material for finishing the facade of a building is plaster. It is much easier to make cladding using a ready-made composition, which is based on cement. The advantage of using plaster is its versatility. The material not only creates and improves the exterior design of the house, but also increases the strength of the walls of the building.

Working with the material has its own nuances. Before using it, the surface of the walls should be prepared, namely, clean the surface from dirt and dust using a metal spatula or a strong knife. It is important to level the surface of the wall and repair any existing cracks or chips. Plaster is quite finicky, and how long it will last as a finish to your building depends directly on the material of the wall. So, you should increase the strength of the walls if they are made of cinder blocks or adobe. To do this, a metal mesh is fixed on the wall surface with brackets or nails. It is advisable to prime the wall surface for a stronger connection. Further, working with the material is no different from plastering the walls inside the room.

The comfort of living, coziness depend not only on the presence of a roof and walls, the complete decoration of the house is also important. The construction of a private house is divided into several main stages. Exterior and interior decoration is the final stage of construction. The facade of the house is the face of every building. Every detail plays its own unique role:

1. The color palette sets the mood for the house, and also affects the psychological perception.
2. A well-chosen texture sets a certain structure for the house.
3. In combination, the first two components give the building individuality and stylize it.

Before you get into the details design ideas, talk to practical side tasks, namely the purchase of materials, their features and properties. There are the most different types cladding, for example, finishing the facade of a house with your own hands can be done with siding, brickwork, facade plaster, stone or tile. It should be noted that each individual option has individual features and properties, and this fact requires pre-training facade base.

Siding

For centuries, people have been sheathing houses wooden board. But siding has been known to mankind only for the last 50 years, and it is a successful PVC analogue of natural wood boards. Talk about siding having dubious environmental properties, are devoid of any basis.

Note! Vinyl siding forms a protective ventilated screen around the walls, which helps to remove excess moisture. The siding facade is very easy to clean. PVC does not burn, although it does melt in a fire. The material is durable, which also attracts buyers.

However, the service life and the degree of burnout under the influence of direct sunlight are completely dependent on the manufacturer. Do not deceive yourself with the surprisingly low cost of PVC siding, because its installation is unthinkable without additional materials. And as you know, the price of the latter will be much higher. The real cost of the facade can be determined only after the measurements of the building and the determination the exact amount all necessary elements. It is very important to follow the installation technology, as the wrong calculation for the expansion and contraction of the panel will cause the material to warp, and you will have to completely redo the facade!

wood siding, certainly looks noble, but its price is very high, despite the fact that the durability of this material leaves much to be desired. Innovative technologies have made it possible to create wood siding with improved properties and an extended service life. For the manufacture of such material, wood is processed under high pressure, due to which the density of the tree increases, and, accordingly, its resistance to adverse environmental influences.

metal siding the most resistant to possible mechanical influences. It is fireproof, durable and quite unpretentious. This type of siding is made of galvanized, which is applied polymer coating. The main disadvantage of this type of siding is the limited range of colors and a small number of texture solutions. By arranging the grounding, you can correct the conductive properties of steel siding. In a house decorated metal siding, mobile communications will not work well, but such a building has a protective screen, which is very desirable.

The most common brickwork

Brick is a symbol of the good quality of the house, in turn clinker brick is the epitome of respectability. Most often, brick cladding is done in the process of drawing walls, in this case, the architect thought out the appearance of the building in advance. But of greater interest is the option when the house is already standing, but its appearance is completely unpresentable. If you have to make brickwork for cladding wooden house, then it is worth considering the feasibility of such actions. If, nevertheless, you decide that this option is acceptable, then it is worth designing the laying of a ventilated brick facade with subsequent arrangement ventilation holes. Otherwise, condensation will appear on the inner surface, which will only accelerate the process of destruction of wooden walls.

Note! Thickening the wall with brick will not improve thermal insulation properties at home, if you do not make a ventilated facade, conducting parallel insulation with a basalt slab or mineral wool. It is also possible to improve thermal insulation properties by pouring liquid foam, if you first ensure an excellent fit without air gaps.

Whatever it was, brickwork must have a foundation, for this, usually the main foundation of the structure is expanded and strengthened. Waterproofing must also be carried out, because the brick absorbs moisture very much. Regardless of what material the walls are built from, they must be connected to the new masonry with flexible ties. They will need about 7 pieces, for every 1 m 2. In addition, the height of the facade masonry cannot exceed five meters, because otherwise its strength and stability will be very doubtful. Do not skimp on the purchase of decorative elements, such as arched molding, cornices, fillets.

Thus, the smooth wall will lose its monotony, and the texture will be animated. If you beautifully combine multi-colored bricks and add the appropriate pigment dye to the solution, then the beauty of the brick texture will be exquisitely emphasized.

The technology of laying facing bricks is shown below:

Facing the facade with plaster. Compositions.

Since plastering is not complete without wet processes, this type of cladding has received an additional name - a wet facade. For plastering the walls of the building outside they release special formulations plasters, among which it is worth highlighting the following:

1. Mineral plaster.
2. Silicone plaster.
3. Acrylic plaster.
4. silicate plaster.

The most economical way to finish the walls of the house outside is mineral plaster. However, this material is the least durable and ductile. But on the other hand, it is highly environmentally friendly, since the walls in such a house can breathe freely, and to maintain a favorable climate, it will be enough for you to ventilate the rooms. You can pre-insulate the walls with mineral wool or basalt slabs, which will only improve the comfort of living in your own home.

If your home is near railway or motorways, then it is better to refuse mineral plaster, because the vibrations that will be transmitted to the walls will lead to the formation of cracks in the plaster and its subsequent destruction. In addition, it is not recommended to apply this material to newly built houses, it is required to withstand the time of natural shrinkage. Subject to all technological processes, the service life of mineral plaster is 10 years.

Unlike mineral plaster, silicate plaster elastic, non-absorbent chemical compounds and salt, has high antistatic properties. To date, this material remains the most relevant coating for wet facade. If it is applied correctly, the facade will be a durable decoration of your home, even if the house itself is located near a highway or railway. The average service life is 25 years.

Concerning acrylic plaster, then it has high rates of moisture resistance and plasticity. But when applied acrylic material a film is formed on the facade, which does not allow the walls to breathe. If you insulate the house with polystyrene foam or foam glass, then this is not even bad at all. The material is good to use if you live along railway tracks where there is strong vibration. Acrylic plaster will not crack or crumble. The service life of such a facade is on average 20 years.

by the most best material for arranging a wet facade, silicate plaster is considered, because it allows air to pass through and is unusually plastic. It doesn't collect dust. But this material is the most expensive. The service life of silicate plaster reaches 25 years or more.

Guaranteed durability - natural stone

Usually only the basement of the building is trimmed with stone, but in Lately often they began to veneer and completely all the walls. The stone can be combined with other finishing materials such as wood or plaster. If you decide to clad your house with natural stone, you can be sure that your home will become attractive, protect you from adverse weather and remain durable for decades.

Different types of stone can be used as a starting material for facade decoration, for example:
