Most often, siding is fixed on a wooden crate (you can also on metal). For the crate, a wooden beam is used in size of 4 – 5 centimeters, which is fixed in a vertical position with a step up to 50 centimeters. Between the bars of the crate (if necessary), you can make the facade insulation.
All profile changes must be framed by a crate: window and doorways, all corners, lower and upper edges of the walls. So that siding can easily move when temperature fluctuations, fasteners are carried out in the center of the fastener; Between a screw of a screw (or a nail) and a siding panel you need to leave a gap of about 1 mm.
If these rules are violated, it is possible that when fluctuations in temperature, the warning of siding will occur. It is worth noting that for high -quality and fast installation of panels it is better to invite specialists. In addition, if you want to install concrete stairs, then you can’t do without them.
Installation of siding you need to start with the lower strip (starting). Then angular profiles are mounted. When joining in the profiles of the siding panel, a gap of 0.5-1 cm should have a gap. To start the panel between the corner vertical profiles, it can be slightly bended in the center. Each panel, or rather its lower part, starts into the previous groove, and the upper one is fixed to the crate with fasteners. You need to install the panels tightly. To avoid skews of siding panels, you need to make markings with a pencil on the crate under the level before installing them.
Siding is well cut with scissors or a hacksaw for metal. If the panels are fixed with nails, then they need to be scored through a metal spacer. To do this, you can use a regular bolt of suitable sizes.
