Installation of siding with their own hands

Siding - perfect material for facing the house.With its affordable price, he has a lot of positive operational and technical characteristics.

you are offered detailed instructions for self-installation of siding.Manual universal.Following its provisions, you may perform a trim any siding, providing for mounting on lath:. Fiber cement, wood, metal, vinyl, etc.

Mount crate

Siding is best secured to the pre-assembled crate.We work in the following order.

first step - choose the material

frame house can be assembled from a wooden beam or metal profile.Metal more durable and long lasting.In addition, the metal lath is fixed much easier to uneven ground.

Setting profiles is done with half-meter increments.To attach to the wall using hangers.This technique will allow to level the surface of the drops and to fix the level of the frame elements.

wooden crate cheaper.With this option, pay attention to the condition of the wood.It is forbidden to:

• sloilsya material;
• was deformed;
• had bluish stains and traces of rot, etc.

elements wooden crates need to be impregnated with flame retardant and antiseptic.If the house is built of wooden elements, the walls should also be treated with these drugs.

second stage - preparing base

easiest crate fixed to a flat surface.First remove any items that may interfere.This is all kinds of tiles, bars, frames, gutters, etc.

third stage - set guide

Siding is best to mount horizontally.Bars or profiles of battens in this case, fix vertically.

for fixing rails to the wooden walls using nails or screws.If the house is built of concrete blocks or bricks, fastened with dowels, pre-drill out an opening into the wall of the house.

Each rail is aligned with the standards.

Important!If you plan to carry out the external wall insulation, siding crate to best strengthen after the completion of all the insulation work.In this case, there will be two lathing: Insulation and cladding.Thus the two racks must be placed carcasses parallel.

You can, of course, to try to lay the insulating layers after fixing battens for siding, but it is not very convenient.

Mount J-profiles

Start guides should be fixed perfectly, becauseon the correctness of their installation depends on the quality of the entire lining.

first step. Take the level and find the lowest point in the crate.Retreat from it up to 50 mm and set the mark.For this little screw is screwed into the rail.

second step. consistently moving around the building and continue to put the screws to fix the label starting profiles.Also, screws are screwed in the corners of the house.

third step. We stretch between the corner marks of the rope.

fourth step.Note the rails on the border alignment profiles.Take the profile itself, applying it to the corner of the frame structure and put tags on the edges with a pencil.

fifth step. Going down the rope, do 6 mm horizontal clearance from the edge of the corner profiles and start the guide to fix the frame rails.

Important!Between profiles leave 1-inch clearance to compensate for thermal strains.

between the start and guide bars Gvozdeva leave a gap.

to do 6 mm padding, you can cut part Gvozdeva strips so that when temperature changes are not rested on the J-channel.

Important!Starting profiles should be mounted horizontally!Correct deviation as much time as you need.

If you set guides with deviations from the level of siding too skewed.Fix it in the future will be extremely difficult.

mount external corner profiles

first step.Mark up spotlights.We need to see where the future will be the edges of these elements.

second step.We put guide to the corner of the frame.We are doing it with a 3-mm gap to the soffit or roof.Fasten profile with screws.

lower border element is placed 0.6 cm below the edge of the starting profile.

third step.Check vertical installation.If there is no deviation, fix the bottom, and then - other places.Experts do not recommend positioning the fasteners too often angular elements.

If the house is more than 300 cm, the profiles will have to impose on one another.To do this, clipped the top profile.As a result, between the bars abutting elements must remain 9mm gap.When laying the cell to withstand a 2.5 cm overlap.

Important!Profiles mating flush on each side of the house.

If the base has a protruding structure, shorten the profile to remain 6 mm gap between it and the cap.

Tip:Instead of the angular profile may be installed J-2 element (starting).So you can save money.But there is this solution and its lack - the angle is not as tight as with special angular profile.Deciding to use this method, pre-seal the wall of a similar angle strip rolled waterproofing material.

Mount internal corner profiles

Mounting of these elements does not differ substantially from the technology arrangement of exterior angles - between the profile and the soffit reserve indent 3 mm, the lower theend profile drops below J-strap 0.6 cm

If there protruding from the bottom base or other element, distracting from the overall level, between him and the profile also reserve 6mm indent -. it is impossible to profile the internal angle rested against him.

There are 3 methods of internal angles of arrangement, see Figure.

If the height of the wall is more than 300 cm, perform splicing profiles.The technology is the same as in the arrangement of the exterior angles.

between slats reserve 9mm indent, carefully cutting off the excess material.Overlap the top element on the bottom - 2.5 cm. Fasteners are set to 4-cm increments, placing them strictly at the center designated holes.Exception - the highest point.Here fasteners must be installed in the upper part of the hole.

Mount frame openings

Most inexperienced masters difficulties arise precisely at the stage of framing of window and door openings.Operation will vary depending on how to arrange the openings with respect to the wall plane.

openings in the same plane as the facade

In this case, do the following.

first step. perform waterproofing openings.

second step. openings are mounted on frames or the J-profiles.Each opening Equips with 4 trims: the pair of vertical and horizontal pairs.

third step.Putting profiles.

To Connect casings were the most accurate, so do:

• create incisions, bridges on each side of the upper structure;
• turn down the bridges down to atmospheric precipitation discharged into the bottom of the profile;
• remove pieces of material on the sides of the elements that prevent connection to trim or top;
• connect the side and top profiles.As a result, the bridges must be inside the profiles.
  

  Installation casings and okolookonnyh profiles with the correct technology indented

Plat bottom is connected in the same way, only the bridges will have to make an incision on the side and bend the elements for further pads on the bottom of the profile.

openings recessed into the facade

Installation okolookonnyh profiles work subject to the same recommendations,and that when installing casings, iecreating incisions in the profile corresponding to the value of the depth of the opening, and then Bends bridges and paste them into the finishing elements.

Take the time to understand the principles of folding such bridges.We make them so that they cover the joint lining elements.As a result, the moisture can not penetrate inside.

Mount first panel

start lining withless noticeable structure of the wall.So we can work out and work out all sorts of inaccuracies.

first step. Insert the first cladding panel in the corner profile and lock connection starter strip.

Important!Between the first element of the cladding and the lower part of the angular profile of the castle leave 6 mm expansion gap.

second step. Attach the panel to the crate.

is important to keep the size of the indentation process.If the lining is held in warm weather, we stand a 6-millimeter indent if cold - increasing the gap to 9 mm.When the trimming margins panels can be reduced.

Building up panel

cladding elements are increasing overlap either with H-profile.

When attaching the panels overlap, you must first be shortened locks cladding panels and mounting box, to result in an overlap had 2.5-cm length.

Mounting H-Profile is performed similar to the angular elements - top retreat of 0.3 cm from the batten, omit the bottom 0.6 cm in relation to the starting profile.

Important!Between the H-profile and any obstacles in front of the house leave 6 mm indentation.

Mount the rest of the siding

continue facing home siding.The technology works similar to the order of the first panel mounting.

Important!Every 2-3 series check the levelness of the lining using a level.

Reaching the doorway, remove unnecessary piece of falling on the opening panel.

provide reliable fastening of panels with "hooks".For this we need a punch.

Mount additional finishing profile at the bottom of the opening.It will align the trim on the plane.

Mount roofed

Under the roof structure is fastened J-channel.

works in the following manner.

first step. measure the distance between the bottom of the lock and lock the finishing element of the penultimate wall panel.

second step. subtracted from the obtained measuring 1-2 mm indentation.

third step. Mark up the whole panel, cut off her top with a locking compound.

fourth step .Create a "hook" at the top of the element with a 20-centimeter increments.To do this, we make an incision and turn down them on the front side.

fifth step. Insert clipped the penultimate element saydingovuyu panel.Flick up latches inserted item in the tool joint finishing profile.

Mount

gable pediment sheathe the perimeter.All fasteners except the top, set in the center of the holes.The upper fastening element at the top of the opening set.Sheathe possible as profiles for arranging the interior angles and starting profile.

Installation procedure is similar to mount wall panels.Trim the edges of elements and connect with the host profile locks.We remember the 6-millimeter indent for installation in warm weather and a 9-millimeter in carrying out the work in the winter.

last element gable trim panel is mounted directly through the material - so you can only do here.

Facing completed.

Professional advice on facing siding

To trim panels House passed the most successful, you need to know some subtleties of such work.There is a list of general recommendations for any siding, as well as some tips for panels made of a specific material.

General tips

1. Clamps trying to drive / Screwing strictly at the center of the factory holes.
2. Hats fasteners do not press the panels too tight - you need to leave a gap in the case of thermal deformation of the material.
3. Furnish fasten from left to right and from bottom to top.The panels are arranged horizontally.
