Features of repairing the exterior walls of a private house - from plaster to siding. Facade works The main advantages of facade insulation

Facade repairs can be divided into four groups:

emergency repair;
redecoration of the facade;
overhaul of house facades;
reconstruction of the facade.

Overhaul is a complete renovation, where plaster, painting, putty, and insulation are used. In general, a complete renovation of the facade. Only the most damaged areas of the building are subject to cosmetic repairs.

If we talk about the timing, then the redecoration of the facades of the building should be carried out once every five years. This requirement should be adhered to in order to avoid the need for major repairs. This approach will preserve the external facade appearance and provide protection of the wall surface from the influence of the external environment. Cracking and sealing will ensure a long service life for the entire building.

The main thing to remember is that renovation work should not change the appearance of the building, which has historical value and is an architectural monument.

No matter how wonderful the facade of the house was initially, sooner or later the time comes when it needs to be repaired. Aggressive environment (drying wind and sun, destructive influence of water in all its states) gradually "gnaws" and renders the wall covering unusable. Wet streaks and stains, mold, cracks appear on them. In addition to the aesthetic perception of the house, its integrity is also violated, it becomes damp and cold in it.

Only one thing can prevent this destruction - timely repairs. Especially carefully you need to monitor the appearance of houses located near the roadway. Their facades are more susceptible to destruction and pollution than the farther houses.

Each type of repair work has its own characteristics, we will try to figure them out.

Cosmetics under repair

The new facade requires only cosmetic work, about once every five years. The rest of the time, a simple removal of dirt with a variety of cleaning solutions is sufficient. Older buildings need to be refurbished more often - at least once a year. Small repairs help the house to maintain its original freshness and beauty, and save money for the owners - major repairs will cost more than one pretty penny.

The work performed does not provide for a significant change in the appearance of the house, it is simply cleaned and refurbished. The most important thing here will be to choose the right materials in terms of appearance and compatibility. Without observing the last condition, they can "conflict" with each other, which will lead to the rapid reduction of the repair results to zero.

Cosmetic repairs are perfectly done on their own, although the construction team will complete the work faster and better. Cosmetics are the simplest and most undemanding repairs. It includes: putty, painting, applying a new decorative coating (plaster) to replace the old one that has flown off.

Stages of work

The first step is to carefully inspect and tap the entire surface of the walls with a small hammer for external damage and possible voids formed: cracks, crumbling plaster, peeling paint layer. The amount of required materials is calculated. Then the facade is cleared of everything that is held, so to speak, on "fish glue". Hanging plaster is upholstered up to the places of its tight fit. With the help of tools, cracks and cracks widen and deepen. All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned from dust and dirt.

At this preliminary stage, it is determined in what state the tightness of the house is. If necessary, appropriate work is carried out to eliminate the deficiencies.

The second stage is filling the prepared cracks and potholes with the appropriate composition, leveling and plastering the walls.
The cosmetic repairs are completed with the application of a decorative coating: restoration of the damaged cladding (tiles, finishing stone), if it was, of course, or a banal color suitable for the general style.

Roof repair is not a cosmetic "marathon", all its errors are eliminated during major repairs.

Major overhaul

Overhaul repairs are more time consuming, requiring more investment of time and money than cosmetic ones. Including the stages of the latter, it also contains many other works: partial restoration of external walls in case of their possible destruction (laying brick, stone, cinder block), laying hydro and vapor barrier, insulation, roofing work, replacing window sills, drains, and so on.

Despite the high cost, the advantage of overhaul over cosmetic is obvious:

The ability to perform all work on the protection of external walls in a better quality.
If you wish, you can completely change the style and appearance of the house.

The reasons for overhaul are:

The desire of the owner to completely change the appearance of his home, for example, with a ventilated facade.
Reorientation and complete redevelopment of the building (for example, a residential building is being converted into an office or a shop).
The building is undergoing partial restoration.

The facade can be either ventilated or non-ventilated. It all depends on the age of the house, the material from which it is made, and the wishes of the owner.

In case of significant destruction of the facade, the old cladding is completely removed from the walls, dust and dirt are removed, cracks and cracks are closed. If necessary, an antifungal coating, a hydro- and vapor barrier layer is applied. Further, the house is insulated, plastered or covered with any decorative cladding from the huge variety of proposals on the construction market.

When re-profiling a building, all decoration is also completely removed from it, since it is unlikely to correspond to its new status. Finishing work is carried out in accordance with the developed project, not forgetting to eliminate the detected wall defects along the way.

Relatively old houses are most often subjected to partial restoration. The lost stucco molding is returned to them, the damaged brickwork is restored. At the same time, the external appearance of the building does not change at all. It is even preferable to paint the walls in the colors "native" to the house.

What is a ventilated facade?

Recently, the device of a ventilated facade has been very popular.

The ventilated facade is a multi-layer "pie", inside of which there is a small (at least 2 cm) air gap between the insulated wall (if insulation is required) and the cladding. This layer of air removes collecting condensate, and also serves as additional noise and heat insulation.

Note:from an air gap less than 2 cm wide there is no sense, it's like it was not done at all.

By the way, for the device of a ventilated facade, it is not necessary to remove the old cladding from the surface of the house (if it holds well) and level the walls. The main thing is to close up problem areas: cracks, chips, make a screed. On wooden houses, you need to apply a fresh layer of protective impregnation from moisture, pests, fire.

There is a great variety of materials for finishing.

The most demanded are:

Wooden or vinyl lining - most often used for cladding summer cottages or country houses.
Plaster is a rather capricious material that requires almost annual renewal. Rain, wind and water, falling into microcracks, gradually expands them, the plaster crumbles. In addition, dirt easily penetrates into its pores, which is very difficult to wash. Despite all the shortcomings, plaster is at the peak of its popularity. It is even sometimes used for finishing suspended facades, although this is associated with some difficulties in application.
Natural and artificial stone - due to its high cost, it is extremely rarely used for finishing the entire facade. The base of the house and / or the space around the door and window blocks are lined with it.
Tile.
Block house.
Sandwich panels are facing material equipped with insulation on the seamy side.
Various types of decorative or facing bricks.

Mineral or basalt wool is ideal for insulating a ventilated facade. In some cases, polystyrene (styrofoam) is used. When choosing a heater, pay attention to its flammability and ability to conduct moisture vapor and air. For insulation of "breathing" walls (wood, gas and foam concrete), foam insulation is inappropriate. The indicators of natural ventilation of the room are deteriorating.

Ventilated facade installation

The frame is mounted. It consists of vertically installed profiles that are attached to the wall with special brackets. To prevent the formation of "cold bridges", a gasket is installed between the metal of the bracket and the wall. Please note that the heavier the selected veneer, the more powerful the frame should be.

Warming. Many manufacturers of insulation materials sell their products already packaged in a waterproof and vapor barrier film. If this protection is not there, you need to lay it yourself. The insulation is attached between the profiles using plastic dowels with "huge" caps or glued. And often both methods of fastening are used at once.
Facing. Each facing material has its own, developed for it, technology of installation and attachment to the frame. It is not recommended to break it to avoid further problems.

Advantages of curtain walls

Repair work does not depend on the season.
Any surface defect is eliminated.
Great appearance.
The air gap allows excess moisture to escape naturally, which allows you to preserve the thermal insulation qualities of the insulating gaskets.

Unfortunately, there are drawbacks to such a beautiful facade, the biggest of which is the price. Despite the rather long service life (manufacturers assure that replacement will not be required in the next 30 years), few can afford a hinged facade.

Despite the strength and durability of cladding materials intended for a ventilated facade, it also sometimes has to be repaired. The cladding does not withstand severe mechanical damage (impacts from heavy objects). If mistakes are made during installation, fasteners wear out quickly.

Of course, this kind of construction work is initially more prudent to entrust specialists. And with complaints about marriage in their work, contact the same construction company, and do not take the hammer yourself. If all the cladding work was done by hand, then it is best to do the repair yourself.

Emergency facade repair

This type of renovation is usually carried out unscheduled due to the complete or partial destruction of the facade. The reason for its holding - natural phenomena or man-made disasters that led to damage to the building. Another, even more common reason: when the destruction of the facade under the influence of natural and other operating conditions eventually becomes critical with visible violations of integrity, and the dynamics of destruction becomes threatening (emergency). Therefore, emergency repair of a building differs from other types in that it is carried out immediately. It cannot be postponed: this is fraught with even greater problems with the condition of the facade.

The nature of the damage is quickly assessed, a work organization plan is determined and an estimate is drawn up. During the work, the emphasis is placed not only on eliminating the consequences of destruction, but also on identifying the causes that led to the accident and, in cases where it is possible, preventing a repetition of the situation: by strengthening the structure, using more durable materials, etc. In case of partial restoration work of the cladding, as a rule, the replacement of the reinforcing frame is not performed. The builders adhere to the overall design of the facade and restore its appearance.

Facade reconstruction

Reconstruction is, in a way, a kind of major overhaul. Before starting work, you need to very carefully conduct a survey of the current state of the building to identify problem areas. Reconstruction implies complete preservation of the building's appearance; it is desirable to carry out it with authentic materials. If this is not possible, modern materials that are similar in appearance are selected.

When reconstructing architectural monuments and buildings with a century-old history, one must remember that they are the legacy of previous eras. The works are carried out with special care in order not to damage the unique construction of historical objects.

Difficult Russian weather conditions force building owners to periodically carry out facade repairs. In order to preserve the aesthetic appeal of external surfaces, it is necessary to promptly replace the failed coatings and update the facades, removing the traces that appeared as a result of the impact on the building of temperature, wind and humidity changes.

Facade repair services can be ordered from our company: experienced specialists will carry out the entire range of necessary improvements, making it as profitable for you as possible thanks to climbing skills and special equipment.

Restoration of historic buildings

We successfully cope with such problems as the renovation of the facades of buildings of a certain historical value. To save money when renovating the facades of buildings built several decades ago, lime plaster is often changed to a cement layer, which soon becomes covered with cracks. When renovating the facades of old houses, we use modern technologies and use appropriate materials to exclude the appearance of defects in plaster and deeper layers.

Types of repair work

We carry out various types of repair work at height, including cosmetic and complex facade repairs.

Redecorating. If the general condition of the facade is satisfactory and only some of its parts need to be repaired, it makes no sense to use the services of specialized construction companies - industrial climbers do without installing complex mechanisms on the roofs of buildings and will make repairs as soon as possible.
Comprehensive renovation. If numerous cracks and collapses are observed along the entire perimeter of the facade, the building needs a complete renovation of the front part. We will clean, plaster and paint the façade surface, replace worn out gutters and damaged sills, cornices and other external structures.

All work on the repair of facades is carried out by us in compliance with sanitary and building codes, as well as state standards.

Is it possible to repair the facade of the house yourself

What do you pay attention to first of all when looking at a cottage or a private house? That's right, on the facade. Over time, any building materials wear out, even the most durable, and the building can look unpresentable. It is necessary to regularly repair the facade of a private house during its operation to maintain an attractive appearance. At the same time, the building can be insulated to reduce heat loss.

When the facade of a private house needs renovation

The main reasons due to which there is a need to repair the facade:

Types of repair of facades of a private house

What does the repair technology depend on? This is greatly influenced by the material from which the walls are made, and the labor intensity of construction work also matters. Such repairs are subdivided into cosmetic and major.

Redecorating

What is this renovation of the facade of a private house? Often the facade cladding itself does not change, but simply refreshes itself, acquiring the lost attractiveness.

For this, there are different ways of decorative finishing, it all depends on the wishes of the owners.

Redecorating the facade of a private house is recommended to be carried out regularly, about once every 5 years.

Major overhaul

Such facade renovation must be balanced. It is necessary to make an informed decision about the need to replace some elements of the facade.

It all depends on the state of the facade. Major repairs should be carried out every 15-25 years.

The need for a major overhaul of the facade of a private house depends on the following reasons:

The building needs to be restored.
A residential building needs to be converted into a public or commercial building.
At least 1/3 of the entire façade area is damaged.
Redevelopment is required or you need to demolish the wall, make an extension.
It is necessary to equip or redo the ventilation.

Types of materials for repairing the facade of a private house

What do you need to keep in mind when choosing a material for finishing? It does not matter what material the house is built from, this is a key moment in creating an exterior design.

If the building is made of wood, experts recommend installing ventilation between the wall and the facade cladding.

The decoration of the facades of private houses can be carried out in two ways:

dry, in this case, the facing material is attached to the walls using self-tapping screws, nails and other fasteners. It is very convenient, you will not be affected by weather conditions. Minus - the design will not work out monolithic;
wet- the surface is finished with special mixtures.

There may be a gap between the cladding and the outer wall. According to this principle, facades are classified as follows:

unventilated;
ventilated.

The unventilated facade of a private house is obtained when the finishing material is attached directly to the outer surfaces of the walls. Facades are often called wet and ventilated, this is not quite a correct designation.

When arranging a ventilated facade of a private house, a gap is left between the wall and the decorative coating. This facilitates the removal of condensation to the outside, while the walls breathe. Such a facade protects the building from all kinds of atmospheric influences.

There is such a variety of building materials on the market today that it is difficult for buyers to decide when they want to renovate the facade of their home. There are the following main differences between finishing materials:

appearance;
properties;
life time;
how much they correspond to our climate.

Consider the main types of materials for the repair of facades of private houses.

Plaster

Such a mixture will hide all surface defects during plastering, the facade of a private house after repair will be smooth and beautiful. There are two types of plaster mixes on the market:

gypsum plaster (expensive);
ordinary cement.

This coating can be applied to any substrate:

concrete;
made of wood;
brick.

Plus plaster is a budget option.

Minus - plastering the surface is not easy, you need to have a special skill. If you want to do it yourself, keep in mind that you will need a lot of time for finishing.

Siding

This material is suitable for repairing any facade of a private house:

brick;
from concrete;
wood.

The installation of siding sheets starts from the top, moving down. A building clad with this decorative material will look neat and personable.

If you want to use siding for an effective renovation of the brick facade of your private house, it is advisable to pre-plaster the walls. The solution will level the surface and serve as additional insulation.

Decorative tiles

Not a very practical material, tiles can hardly tolerate negative temperatures, they do not like the bright sun. It will last for a maximum of 1-2 seasons, after which it looks unpresentable.

To install it, it is desirable that the weather was without rain, but heat is also not needed.

When repairing the facade of a private house using tiles, consider this nuance - it will take a long time for the masonry to dry completely.

Porcelain stoneware

It is a beautiful material, but not very durable. With temperature drops, porcelain stoneware becomes brittle and prone to destruction.

Such material is suitable for repairing the facade of a private house only if the surface is protected from atmospheric influences.

It makes sense to use porcelain stoneware when decorating terraces and gazebos, they will look very stylish.

What else can you decorate the facade of a private house?

Natural stone or its artificial analogue

No finishing material can compete with natural stone. It is extremely strong and durable, its decorativeness is also beyond doubt.

But this natural stone is very expensive, so it is more often used in small quantities for decoration. The owners of a private house during the renovation of the facade prefer to combine this material with other finishes. They often replace natural stone with an artificial one. The cost of such a decorative stone is much lower, and the characteristics are almost the same as those of natural material.

The disadvantages of a stone facade are the high price and significant weight. The cost of artificial material is also quite high, although it is much cheaper than natural.

Wood siding

The material for the manufacture of such panels is dried in a special way and processed using antiseptics. As a rule, it is a board or timber made of wood.

Wooden siding has a lot of disadvantages - it is expensive and short-lived. Such a coating needs protection from decay, and it is also fire hazardous. But this incredibly beautiful natural material still continues to be popular with owners of private houses when renovating facades. Recently, siding from a mixture of wood and cellulose, with improved characteristics, has appeared on the market. But it is also not very durable.

Facade finishing with cassettes

Previously, cladding with metal cassettes was used to decorate public buildings, but recently it is increasingly used in the repair of facades of private houses. What is a façade cassette? This is a metal decorative panel of rectangular or square shape, with a special coating on a polymer base.

Metal cassettes are used not only for decorating old houses, but also for new buildings. They are fixed on the frame during the construction of the building. But the price of such a coating is considerable.

Renovating the facade of a private house is not an easy, quick, but incredibly exciting procedure. Use modern high quality materials for decoration, adhere to the installation rules, and in this case, you are guaranteed success!

Redecorating the facade of a private house

How often should you make cosmetic repairs to the facade of a private house? It is advisable to hold such an event every 5 years. It is necessary not only to replace the cladding of the building, but also to eliminate surface defects - cracks and chips - as a preventive measure. Then you will not have to carry out major repairs in the near future. The new decorative facade cladding will reliably protect it.

Operating procedure:

first inspect the facade to determine the amount of destruction and the scale of the work;
elimination of the identified surface imperfections - potholes, cracks and stains;
surface treatment with anti-wetting agents;
the cleaned walls are primed;
facade cladding with decorative material.

1. Repair of the facade, which is finished with plaster

Plaster. This material is often used to repair the facades of private houses. This versatile finish is available to everyone. It is not difficult to carry out technologically, although the process requires effort. The plaster is lightweight and has a rich color palette.

The downside is that such a cladding will have to be frequently updated, the plaster quickly deteriorates under the influence of weather conditions.

What you need to consider when repairing the facade of a private house made of plaster:

do not apply too thick layer of material to the wall, the permissible thickness is no more than 3 centimeters;
a gypsum-based mixture is not suitable for a concrete wall;
4-5 hours after plastering, grout should be carried out.

When the plaster coating is destroyed by more than a third, the entire cladding should be overhauled. The old finish is completely removed and replaced with a new one.

2. Renovation of facades covered with porcelain stoneware tiles

Porcelain stoneware is a very hygroscopic finishing material. This tile is made from a mixture of several types of clay with natural minerals. In what cases is the facade of a private house made of porcelain stoneware renovated:

there was a destruction of the coating under the influence of atmospheric influences;
façade finish is incorrect.

In the first case, it is enough to replace the parts that have become unusable. In the second, you will have to dismantle the cladding and install a new one according to the technology.

3. Restoration of fiber cement slabs

What is fiber cement? It is a modern material in construction, which is made from slabs based on cement, cellulose and mineral components. This eco-friendly material is durable, flexible and lightweight.

Fiber cement slabs have special properties - they allow the walls to breathe. Fungi, mold or rot are not terrible for such material.

Repair of the facade of a private house made of fiber cement slabs includes the restoration of the external appearance of the building - changing parts that have become unusable, washing the cladding or painting it.

4. Renovation of the facade from siding

With siding, the sequence of actions is slightly different. Examine the facade for damage. If they are not found, it is sufficient to thoroughly wash the surface with plain water. You can use mild detergents. If defects are found that can lead to the destruction of the cladding, it is better to replace such a panel when repairing the facade of a private house.

The only caveat- it is important to choose the right shade of the material correctly. The color may fade when exposed to sunlight. Take this question seriously. The main thing is that the difference in color between the siding panels is not conspicuous.

To replace a damaged part, you will have to disassemble the entire structure up to this area. Look at the condition of the insulation, it may also need to be changed. Then you install a new decorative element and reassemble the siding cladding.

5. Redecoration of the tiled facade

Tiled flooring can be cleaned in the same way as siding detergent or water. The difference is that the seams can break here. In this case, they are sealed with a sealant, even a small gap in the facade cladding can lead to significant heat leakage.

How does this happen? Moisture enters the hole and, after freezing in the cold, it expands, increasing the gap. This happens at each temperature jump, as a result, the integrity of the coating is violated and it breaks.

Overhaul of the facade of a private house: stages of work

Does the facade fall into disrepair and the structure looks dilapidated and unsightly? Overhaul of the coating is required! How to repair the facade of a private house with your own hands cheaply and beautifully? The various photos presented in the article will help you with this. The work can be organized as follows:

Repair start

Examine the facade carefully. The task is to detect possible damage to the cladding, faults, cracks and destruction. Defects are not always visually identified, sometimes they can only be detected by tapping the surface with a hammer.

Why do cracks appear on the facade of a private house? The reason may be uneven shrinkage of the building. It is necessary to study the condition of the soil, you may have to first make a major overhaul of the foundation. And only then begin the restoration of the facade. In general, get ready for global work.

Precipitation, wind and sun are your main enemies. Moisture can seriously destroy the cladding if it gets into microcracks and begins to freeze there and thaw, expanding and narrowing in turn. This will ultimately lead to a violation of the integrity of the coating.

A hurricane can disrupt a hang structure that is not securely attached. Individual bricks may fall out of the brick cladding if the joints are depressurized. Or you may want to insulate the walls of the house.

After examining the facade of a private house and assessing the repairs to be carried out, draw up a detailed plan of action. This is necessary for a high-quality renovation of the building, so as not to miss anything during the renovation process.

Stages of overhaul of the facade

What does the overhaul of the facade of a private house consist of? There are three stages - preparatory work, restoration procedures and facade cladding again.

First. First, the surfaces are prepared for repair. The previous cladding is removed and large defects are repaired.

The next stage. The surface must be restored - with the help of plaster or primer, all irregularities are masked and leveled.

Stage Three has its own subtleties. How is this expressed?

Often, during the renovation of the facade, the owners of private houses wish to insulate the building along with the decorative finishing. Then the facing work will include the installation of insulation, which should be correctly selected.

In the event that a ventilated facade is equipped, its installation is carried out in the following order:

a metal frame is attached to the wall of the house using anchors;
the surface is insulated with thermal insulation;
cladding is installed on top for decoration and protection of the structure. It is necessary to leave a gap between it and the thermal insulation of about 20-50 millimeters for ventilation.

What will you end up with? This decorative cladding with an air gap will also protect the structure from adverse external factors. Many people choose such a ventilated system for overhauling the facade of their private house. This beautiful protective shell will save you heating costs for your building.

Such ventilated systems for facades - "Marmorok" and "Scanrok" are especially popular today. By installing them, you will forget about repairing the facade almost forever - they will serve you for at least 50 years! But they are only suitable for new buildings. If your home is not, it is best to stick with the wet version. The technological process of its installation is slightly different:

insulation is glued to the facade - mineral wool or foam;
a grid for reinforcement is installed;
the surface is plastered, putty and primed;
then everything is faced with bricks, tiles or stone. You can paint the coating on top with facade paint or other water-repellent agent.

Overhaul of the facade of a private house is a difficult process, it is better to entrust it to competent professionals. Such reconstruction will restore the cladding of the building and restore its attractive appearance. And maybe even completely change it, if the owners want it.

The main types of work during overhaul:

it is necessary to calculate the bearing characteristics of the foundation and basement - whether they can withstand the main load;
the masonry of the walls is being restored or strengthened;
the surface of the house is insulated, if this has not been done earlier;
after the installation of the decorative cladding, the seams are rubbed to give the facade a neat look;
final cleaning of surfaces from contamination.

Insulation of a private house with expanded polystyrene

Currently, there is no better material for insulating houses than expanded polystyrene. This is obvious after analyzing the building materials market. Such insulation has an ideal price-quality ratio.

The flammability of extruded polystyrene foam is weak, it consists of components that are prone to self-extinguishing a couple of seconds after setting fire.

Preparation for work

The facade of a private house is cleaned with a brush or broom from dirt and dust. Surface stains can be removed with thinner or benzine.

All surface defects are sealed with a cement and sand based mortar or putty.

Wall priming and installation of suspensions

The walls are covered with several layers of deep penetration primer. This can be done with a roller, not just with a brush. An ordinary fishing line or nylon thread is used as suspensions. The hangers are hung every 60–70 cm in height.

These elements will show where you need to cut the insulation, and where to add glue. After installation, the surface will be perfectly flat, suitable for plastering. You can easily install any decorative coating on it.

Laying polystyrene foam during repair

Dilute the adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then apply the adhesive mortar with a spatula to the back of the expanded polystyrene panel. Then, with effort, you press it against the surface of the wall.

Installation should start from the upper section of the wall, moving downward. The panels must be tightly joined together to form a monolithic coating. The quality of the house insulation will depend on this. It is better to immediately seal all the cracks formed with polyurethane foam or polyurethane.

Fasten the expanded polystyrene with dowels. Attachment points are each panel corner and center.

If the facades of wooden private houses are insulated with expanded polystyrene, it is recommended to lay a layer of vapor barrier between the insulation and the wood surface, securing it with a stapler.

Plastering and finishing works

It is advisable to carry out plastering work for houses with insulation using fiberglass reinforcing mesh. For walls, material with a density of 150 g / m 2 is needed, and for decorative details on the facade, 80–90 g / m 2 will be enough.

The required thickness of plaster based on polymer components for leveling the surface is about 0.5 cm.

For decorative finishing of the facade of a private house, you can choose any material you wish.

How to repair the facade of a private house yourself

What is the best way to proceed if the facade of your private house needs a simple repair, no fancy? Suppose you need to add cladding or apply another coat of finishing material? You can do it yourself.

But first, draw up a work plan that you will need to create an estimate and purchase materials for repairs. You can do such a project yourself or contact the specialists so that they correctly select the necessary materials for the coating.

You will repair the facade of a private house with your own hands. It will cost you cheap, but it will turn out beautifully, as in the photo. You will need the most common building materials for this:

metal or plastic siding panels;
plaster mix;
composite panels, decorative artificial stone, porcelain stoneware, etc.

When there are traces of mold or cracks on the facade of a private house, do not hesitate to choose plaster as a finish. This material is different, not only based on cement, there are also gypsum varieties.

The procedure for plastering the structure:

Free the facade from the previous coating using a metal brush or sandpaper. Remove all dust, dirt and primer the wall for the installation of a new coating. In humid climates, additional surface treatment with antibacterial agents is recommended.
It is advisable to carry out plastering using a reinforcing mesh. Before this, thermal insulation should be installed to insulate the facade. The mesh is laid directly on the plaster. This method is suitable for any surfaces - brick, aerated concrete, etc.
The top coat is decorative plaster. It can be of different colors and textures - matte and glossy, smooth and abrasive, white and colored, etc.

Often, a private house needs painting after facade repairs. If you wish, you can choose any color for the renovated building - white, brown, beige, brick, etc.

The most common, affordable and simple type of building facade repair is siding. Plastering is a very laborious process that requires certain skills. A perfectly flat surface is not as easy to achieve as it seems. Even beginners can handle the installation of siding sheets.

First, you need to install the siding frame on the wall. It consists of metal or wood profiles, which are fixed to the surface in increments of 40–80 centimeters.
Then thermal insulation is laid - foam or mineral wool. A vapor barrier is laid on top; plastic dowels are used to fix it.
Start installing the siding from the bottom, from the basement, gradually moving towards the roof. If your design provides for ventilation, consider how the drainage of water from the roof will be diverted.

The main advantage of such a renovation of the facade of a private house is the ease of installation. You will need few tools, just a hacksaw for trimming siding, a level, a screwdriver and a hammer drill.

Facade decoration: 20 interesting options

If you decide to build a house, think about its facade. It makes a huge difference how the structure will look. Take this seriously, building cladding isn't just for decoration. It also performs a protective function.

Facade panels

Decorative panels are a very popular material for renovating the facade of a private house. Its cost is low, and the building immediately takes on a respectable look. Typically, aluminum panels, composite panels or trendy siding are used for this.

All these types of finishing panels have the same scheme of attachment to the facade. There are various types of such a coating, with a variety of textures that can imitate any natural material.

Facade plastering

Nowadays, repairing the facade of a private house with decorative plaster does not lose its relevance. What are the features of this finishing material:

low price;
a variety of colors, for coating, you can pick up any shade of plaster, painting it in the desired color;
the help of professional craftsmen is not needed, you can easily do this work with your own hands.

Beautiful and modern facade decoration. Photo

Today, construction markets offer buyers a variety of materials for repairing the facades of private houses. The range of prices is significant - from budget options to very expensive ones, from classic style to modern. A choice for every taste and budget.

To cooperate with the "My Repair" Company is reliable and prestigious. The specialists working here are professionals of the highest level. The company "My Repair" works throughout Moscow and the Moscow region.

Wet facade - facade finishing technology using several layers of materials (thermal insulation, hard layer, decorative plaster). The technology of the wet facade is based on the use of building and adhesive mixtures. This technology of wall and facade decoration is widely used both in the commercial sector and in the residential sector. Suitable for various types of houses and wall materials, looks presentable, easy to maintain.

Thermal insulation (facade insulation).
The first layer of the wet facade is thermal insulation (slabs of mineral wool or foam), which is attached to the wall material with a polymer-cement mortar. The solution reliably glues the insulation to the rough walls.
Base material (hard layer).
The second layer is a polymer-cement mortar together with a reinforcing mesh. This combination of materials simultaneously protects the thermal insulation material and serves as the basis for the finishing of the walls.
Decorative coating (plaster).
The third layer is decorative plaster or special paint. A rich selection of textures and colors opens up great opportunities for decorating the facade of the house.

Advantages of wet facade technology:

Low price (in comparison with other options for capital finishing of the facade);
Minimum load on load-bearing walls (due to the light weight of the materials);
A wide range of options for decorative finishes and textures (implementation of any design ideas);
Possibility of painting in any color or various color combinations;
Excellent compatibility of technology with elements of decoration and lighting of facades.

A ventilated facade is a modern technology for repairing the facade and external wall decoration using a frame made of a system of profiles and facing materials (porcelain stoneware or composite panels). The supporting structure in the form of a frame provides an even and rigid fastening of materials at the required distance for free air circulation.

Heat-insulating material can also be used to insulate the house (mineral wool or expanded polystyrene) with a moisture-proof film.
The basis of the structure is the supporting structure - a universal subsystem of profiles and components specially designed for fast and durable cladding of all types of buildings and structures. Allows you to quickly and easily prepare walls for further cladding.
Air circulates freely through the air gap between the cladding and the bearing wall, which protects the structure from moisture and condensation.
Facing material (porcelain stoneware or aluminum composite material).
As a finishing material, special composite panels or porcelain stoneware tiles are used. Today, many manufacturers of finishing materials provide a wide range of colors and textures, which allows you to implement a variety of ideas.

The main advantages of hinged ventilated facades:

Possibility of quick installation, regardless of the season;
The versatility of the design and material allows the use of ventilation facades technology for cladding all types of buildings and structures, as well as various architectural forms and elements;
Durability of cladding, support system and components (average service life - 50 years);
Large range of colors and hundreds of options for imitating natural materials;
Convenient operation, maintenance and repair in case of damage;
Heat and sound insulation, no overheating of walls and removal of the "point of condensation".

Facade plastering is repair using facade plaster, preparation and plastering of the external walls of the building. Differs in accessibility, simplicity and speed of implementation of repair work. The optimal type of plaster is selected depending on the material of the walls.

Before plastering the facade, you must first prepare the walls - clean and prime the surface with a primer. The plaster is applied in 3 layers - base, main and finishing. For optimal adhesion of the plaster, a reinforcing metal mesh is attached to the walls or insulation.

The plaster solution is applied using a special pneumatic bucket or manually. Further, the solution is leveled along special guides. The next layer of plaster creates adhesion to the finish. The finishing layer is rubbed or decorated to match the relief (pattern).

Types of plaster for facade decoration:

Acrylic (based on acrylic polymer resins with low vapor permeability);
Mineral (based on quartz or marble chips);
Silicate (based on "liquid glass" - a solution of sodium and potassium silicates);
Cement (cement is used as a base);
Silicone (based on silicone resins).

Advantages of decorative plaster:

Low cost, ease of implementation of work and lightness of materials;
Optimum material quality and strength level;
Heat and sound insulation, moisture protection, resistance to weather conditions and temperature changes;
A wide range of colors and textures for painting and decoration;
Perfectly combined with decorative elements for external walls and facades.

Siding involves cladding the walls of the building with panels. This method of finishing has become widespread due to its reasonable price, combined with the simplicity and quick implementation of installation. Siding is used for finishing residential and commercial buildings of all types.

Types of siding (panel materials):

Wooden (wood-polymer).
For exterior wall decoration, siding made of wood-polymer materials is used - it is a mixture of wood fibers and plastic. Service life - from 15 years, easy to maintain - no need to tint, soak, varnish. The material does not absorb moisture and is not flammable.
Vinyl (PVC plastic).
Vinyl siding is the most common type of siding due to its low price, combined with a wide range of colors, as well as durability and ease of installation, maintenance and cleaning. The material is suitable for all types of buildings and climatic conditions.
Metal (galvanized steel).
Metal siding is most commonly used for cladding commercial and industrial buildings, but it is also suitable for residential buildings.
Fiber cement (made of cement with the addition of cellulose).
Non-flammable, strong and durable material with increased resistance to moisture, mold and mildew. It is mainly used for commercial and industrial buildings.

The main advantages of siding facades:

Minimum terms for installation, regardless of the season (preferably from +5);
Versatile material and installation system - suitable for finishing any type of building;
A wide selection of colors and types of material (many shades and textures);
Easy to operate, maintain and repair;
Protection of walls from moisture, temperature fluctuations and condensate drainage.

Facing the facade with clinker tiles or bricks is a premium option for finishing the facade with imitation of brick or stone. The material is based on natural clay, fired using a special technology. Clinker tiles are an affordable option for facing "like a brick", both external and internal walls of the building.

Thermal insulation (wall insulation).
Thermal insulation material (mineral wool or polystyrene) with moisture / windproof film is used as house insulation.
Subsystem (steel or aluminum frame with accessories).
Construction of profiles and accessories specially designed for clinker tiles. The elements of the subsystem make it possible to implement the finishing process quickly and efficiently.
Air gap (ventilation).
A special distance between the cladding and the walls provides the necessary air circulation to protect against fungus, moisture and condensation.
Facing material (clinker tiles or bricks).
Clinker tiles are made from clay and sand, which are pressed, molded and fired at temperatures over 1200 degrees. The desired color of clinker tiles is achieved by different firing temperatures, so each batch of tiles is individual and may slightly differ in shade.

Possibilities of clinker facade technology

Insulation of the base walls of a building is a set of works for the preparation and installation of a heat-insulating layer. At the moment, there are two main options for insulation for external decoration - mineral wool slabs or expanded polystyrene.

The technology for insulating walls from the outside is correct, both from the practical (saving usable space) and from the technical side (protecting the walls and removing the point of condensation formation). The base walls are prepared and primed, then the insulation is mounted using an adhesive solution and additionally reinforced with dowels.

Mineral wool slabs
Basalt mineral wool is an inexpensive and effective way to insulate any type of building. The mineral wool layer must be protected with steam and waterproofing. Insulation with this material is ideal for wooden houses, and also goes well with the technology of the "wet" facade.

Polyfoam (expanded polystyrene, penoplex)
Polyfoam is an advantageous, very lightweight and easy-to-install material that also has good sound insulation. However, the foam does not allow air and steam to pass through, which requires equipping the house with a ventilation system. Also, foam requires reliable waterproofing, because exposed to moisture. The use of foam is recommended in combination with ventilated facade technology.

The main advantages of facade insulation:

Increased energy efficiency, reduced heat loss and heating costs;
Universal materials - suitable for thermal insulation of any buildings;
Protection of walls from moisture, temperature fluctuations, external influences and removal of the "dew point".

The StroyProekt company will repair the facade in Moscow and the Moscow region. We work with objects of any complexity and degree of damage. Our craftsmen pay great attention to the quality of the materials used. The work is carried out in strict accordance with the current technologies. This guarantees a long lasting result.

What are the tasks of facade repair

decorative function;
protection of load-bearing structures from negative environmental factors;
heat and waterproofing.

Over time, under the influence of dust, moisture, temperature extremes and aggressive substances (for example, contained in exhaust gases), the coating becomes unusable. Timely renovation of the facade will help restore the integrity of the protective materials and restore an aesthetic appearance to the structure. These works must be carried out at regular intervals. It is due to the characteristics of the environment, the nature of the materials and technologies used.

If you ignore the repair of the facade of the building, the rate of wear of the supporting structures will increase. The service life of the structure will be significantly reduced. The cost of preserving it will be very high with no guarantee of a positive result. Regardless of the level of reliability, facade materials must be periodically checked and renovated (cosmetic or capital).

Damaged cladding poses a threat to human life. Falling tiles, plaster and other materials can cause injury. Therefore, the facade must be carefully taken care of.

Facade overhaul

Overhaul of the facade of a house means filling and waterproofing all cracks, seams and other damage to the bearing surface.

The priming ensures sufficient adhesion for fixing the plastering materials, after which the cladding is installed.

Overhaul of the facade is chosen based on the degree of damage. In the presence of minor defects that do not affect the functional characteristics of the cladding, it is sufficient to restore its integrity.

For the final external coating, tiles, natural and artificial stone, decorative bricks, porcelain stoneware, siding are used. When restoring historic buildings, materials are chosen that match the original ones as much as possible.

The renovation of facades in Moscow is being completed by the application of hydrophobic coatings. This provides additional protection against moisture and corrosive substances, and also extends the service life.

Upon completion of the work, the building receives an aesthetic appearance and properly functioning external elements. A wide range of products and materials will guarantee the impeccable quality of the implementation of the tasks.

scope of work;
urgency;
degree of damage;
the nature of the materials used;
building features (for example, the need for industrial climbers).

In our company, the cost of facade renovation is determined individually for each client. We are evaluating the project. Based on the information received, the most suitable repair technologies will be proposed. Our craftsmen will restore and modernize the old protective coatings.

Facade redecoration

The most common goal of facade renovation is to restore the aesthetic appearance of the structure while maintaining the functional parameters of the cladding. To accomplish this task, cosmetic repairs of the facade are periodically carried out. The cost of this procedure is more affordable than a major restoration.

Facade repairs are carried out to improve the functional characteristics of the cladding:

increased moisture protection;
ventilation device;
additional thermal insulation.

Changing the appearance of a building is one of the most significant tasks of renovation work. Restoration of historical objects, including facades, is carried out with the appropriate permits from specialized government organizations.

Redecorating the facade of a building in Moscow and the Moscow Region extends the safe operation of the facilities. The load-bearing elements are reliably protected from moisture, temperature extremes, mildew and mold, which can reduce the comfort of being inside.

We work with any facades. Our goal is to restore or update their appearance, as well as increase their protective performance. Plaster coatings and tile cladding are most susceptible to wear. They are slowly deformed and destroyed by moisture and temperature extremes. To temporarily stop this process will help the immediate repair of the facade of the building. Our specialists will select materials that ensure a long service life of the coating.

To a lesser extent, renovation of the facade is required for ventilated solutions. The sophisticated multi-layer design provides effective moisture removal, as well as protection from low and high temperatures. Maximum reliability and durability is ensured by the correct implementation of ventilated facade technologies. Such work requires high precision and control. If the owner of the facility decided to save money in favor of low-quality materials, the facade of the house will soon need to be repaired, possibly a major one.

We can offer our customers other types of facades.

The beauty and attractiveness of a private house largely depends on the aesthetic qualities of the facade. Renovation of the facade of a private house allows you not only to make your house more attractive, but also to improve its heat and sound insulation properties. If the house is insulated, the electricity and heating costs are lower, in addition, the beautiful facade attracts the attention of others, causing envious glances.

In addition to its attractive appearance, the facade of the building performs a number of equally important functions:

House insulation
Protection against moisture and moisture
Improving soundproofing qualities

A well-designed façade combines aesthetic appeal with practical qualities. The facade of the house consists of a basement - the lower protruding part of the foundation and a cornice, which connects all the walls and the roof between the owl. If you need urgent repair of the facade of a private house, but you do not know where to start and what material to choose, contact the company's specialists for a free consultation.

The cost of repairing the facade of a private house in Moscow

The estimate for the repair of the facade for many is a determining factor when choosing a contractor, but in addition to the cost of repair, it is also important to take into account the quality of work and the cost of materials.

Stages of repairing the facade of a private house

Facade works at different objects differ in the complexity of execution, the types of materials used and the area of work - all this can affect the final cost. Let's figure out what kind of work should be done at one stage or another of the work.

Preparatory work

Regulatory building acts determine the frequency of facade work: current repairs (cosmetic) once every 5 years, overhaul of the facade of a private house once every 10 years. Depending on the type of facade, a technological map is developed, according to which certain works are carried out and the necessary materials are selected.

If you bought a house recently and do not know when the facade work was last carried out, you can find out by the nature of the condition of the plaster, if the area of its collapse or departure from the base of the wall is more than 30%, it is worth doing major repairs, if less, it is enough to eliminate the formed defects are cosmetic repairs.

The preparatory work for the repair of the facade of a private house or summer house includes the following activities:

Dismantling of the old coating (for example, if the house was covered with siding or wooden clapboard and requires its complete replacement)
cleaning walls from dust and debris
installation or replacement of a hydro and thermal insulation layer
strengthening the foundation
surface preparation (applying a reinforcing layer, serifs, erecting frame structures, equipping walls with fasteners, etc.)
padding
elimination of cracks and sealing of seams

The main stage

Depending on the type of facade, various manipulations and a set of works can be performed, let's dwell on the most common types of materials for the facades of summer cottages and private houses.

Selection of material

Plaster- one of the most common types of facade decoration for private houses and municipal buildings. The possibility of applying a plaster layer to the insulation layer and a large selection of textures and colors make this type of facade decoration the most popular. "Wall coat" is classified according to the dominant material in its composition: cement, gypsum, silicone, acrylic, mineral.

Each type of coating has its pros and cons, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for use. Many European facade materials do not adapt well to the harsh weather conditions of our country, therefore, after a year or two, cracks and delamination from the base may form on the perfectly executed facade of the house.

Siding- a relatively new material for our country, but already so beloved by our citizens, because it has a lot of positive qualities: inexpensive cost, great color variety, ease of installation. Repair of a private house with siding consists in installing guides and laying siding, installation of an insulating layer is possible.

Brick for repair and facade cladding can be clinker, decorative, clay, silicate. Repairing a brick facade wall requires certain skills. Brick helps to improve the thermal insulation of the house, allows you to create designer and stylish exteriors.

A natural stone pleasure is not cheap, but its durability and environmental friendliness are worth every penny invested in home decoration. A wide variety of colors and textures of stone allows you to choose the best option for each architectural style. Natural stone is mounted on a ventilated façade or on a wet façade. Some porous rocks, such as limestone or travertine, require additional water-repellent treatment.

The final stage of facade repair work

At the final stage, painting work takes place if it is about plastering work, if the stone was installed (Inkerman stone, limestone, travertine) - treatment with water-repellent impregnations. Then there is the dismantling of the scaffolding, the cleaning of the local area, the removal of construction waste.
