Inventive Americans in the middle of the year before last they began to use the new building sheathing technology at that time, providing their protection against the vagaries of the weather, additional thermal insulation, as well as a decent appearance. So that during the rains, the water does not flow into the cracks of the sheathing, the treated wooden boards were pinned to the wall at a slight angle, as a result of which each subsequent layer slightly hung over the previous. Behind the indicated cladding technology, and with it and behind the panels used in the future, the name “siding” was firmly fixed, although the word Siding in English means only external skin.
After some time, more durable metal (steel siding), cement (cement siding) and vinyl panels (vinyl siding) began to be used as facades for facades instead of ordinary boards. And to finish the aggressive effects of meltwater, ice, dirt, etc. D. basement – use a more durable basement siding.
Vinyl siding, made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and various modifiers, stabilizers, dyes, etc., is recognized as experts today. p. It is they who give the finished material wear resistance, impact resistance, durability, elasticity and aesthetic appearance. Siding such as an ordinary board looks, only, unlike wooden panels, vinyl does not lose decorative properties and after 20 years, does not rot, is not afraid of mechanical influences, does not crack, does not relax, etc. D. Thanks to the holes provided in the panels on the inside of the cladding, condensate is removed. And vinyl siding is not afraid of insects that can easily spoil the structure of his wooden “fellow”.
In addition, the pluses of the indicated type of facing material include a slight load of the panels on the foundation due to their sufficiently small weight, simplicity not only in operation, but also during installation, the lack of need for repair work with the initially correct installation. All this made vinyl siding the most popular material used for decoration of facades.
