The finishing of the facades of private houses allows you to make a ventilated facade with a vapor permeable film, if necessary, you can insulate it. All siding installation work is quite simple and do not require special knowledge. The main thing is to do everything carefully and gradually.

Stone, tiles and porcelain tiles

The cladding of ceramic tiles, artificial or natural stone belongs to the category of very expensive facades. The cost of materials and the difficulty of performing work do not contribute to the growth of the popularity of this type of facade. More often you can see the combined finish stone-stomach or tile-stirring. Sometimes instead of plaster use ordinary paint or whitewashing.

As already noted, the decoration of the facade with tiles or stone is a very complex thing and requiring certain skills and skills that are honed for years. The error can lead to the fact that the wall will collapse and you will have to redo everything anew. Therefore, this option of decoration of the facade is best entrusted to professionals.

Decorative brick

This finishing material has been used for a long time, but thanks to modern technologies in construction in the market, you can find facing bricks of various shapes and shades. The performance of the laying of facing brick is not much different from the masonry of ordinary brick, but it is worth noting that the facing brick is more demanding on the accuracy and accuracy of the work performed. In addition to an impressive appearance to the advantages of facing bricks, the possibility of thermal insulation equipment between the wall and the finish can be attributed. For those who want to make the facade decoration with facing brick, you will need a partner. Typically, cladding brick masonry is carried out in parallel with the construction of the walls.

The cladding of the basement begins with high -quality surface preparation and consists of the following works:

• elimination of various irregularities, chips and cracks by filling them with a repair composition;
• the repaired surface must be impregnated with a special primer of deep penetration to increase adhesive and strengthening characteristics;

Ceiling finishing in a private house

Starting finishing work is most convenient from the ceiling. Since in any case something will blurt out or fall, and then you will have to clean the surface or even redo it again. The implementation of all work on the ceiling is compared with the walls and flooring is somewhat more complicated due to the inconvenience of applying finishing materials. But it all depends on the dexterity and ability to handle the tool. In all other respects, the ceiling finish yourself is quite possible for a beginner, the main thing is to know what and how to do.

The construction market offers a wide range of materials for finishing the ceiling, and designers will always be able to come up with something original. Today, the most popular ceiling decoration options are suspended ceiling, stretch ceiling, grassing with wallpaper, as well as such time -tested methods as whitewash and painting. What exactly the ceiling will be depends on the general design of the interior and the possibility of its implementation. The ceiling should start with the alignment of the surface with plaster, putty and, having saturated the surface with a primer, you can proceed to applying the finish coating.

Painting and whitewashing the ceiling

These decoration options have been known for a long time and are the most easy for implementation. Performing work does not require special knowledge or skills, and you can cope with them yourself. The main advantages of such a ceiling finish are simplicity, availability and very low cost of materials. Of the materials for whitewashing, negative lime is used, and for painting you can use a wide range of colors, ranging from ordinary alkyd and ending with lime paint.

Grassing with wallpaper

Like painting or whitewashing, pasting the ceiling with wallpaper refers to the category of budget decoration options, but in comparison with them, this decoration option is an order of magnitude more difficult. Performing work on pasting the ceiling with wallpaper will require a certain dexterity and skills, besides, you can’t do without a partner. It should be noted that for this option, special ceiling wallpaper or liquid wallpaper should be used. Of course, on the market you can find premium wallpaper, the price of which is very high, but here it all depends on the wishes and budget. Vinyl wallpaper and silk -screen printing are extremely recommended.

Suspended ceiling

A feature of this option is the creation of a design that is attached to the ceiling and hides it, allowing you to equip unique lighting using many lighting devices, and also makes it possible to create a multi -level ceiling. The design itself is only a basis that must be swollen and then painted or poured with wallpaper. Unfortunately, the main disadvantages of this decoration option are a decrease in the total height of the room and some complexity of creating the design itself, requiring excellent engineering and construction skills.

For a suspended ceiling, a metal profile of various shapes, drywall sheets, special fasteners, screws and dowels are used. It is better to entrust the program of the suspended ceiling project, since this requires specialized knowledge and experience.

Stretch ceiling

Like the suspended ceiling, the design of the stretch allows you to hide the floor and make a variety of backlight, but the structural ceiling structures are already attached to the walls. A unique feature of suspended ceilings is the ability to use various materials with a pattern and prints, which allow you to create a unique surface of the ceiling. In addition, the stretch ceiling can be combined with the suspended, thereby creating a multi -level structure.

The design of the stretch ceiling is quite simple and is a profile with a clicking mechanism to hold the stretched canvas, which is attached along the perimeter of the room. Installation of suspended ceilings requires certain skills for tensioning the canvas from fabric or PVC, but for fixing the profile, special skills do not.

Wall decoration in a private house

The next step in the work after the ceiling is finishing the walls of a private house. As in the case of ceilings, the choice and use of materials depends on the style of the room and the previously developed design project. Popular wall decoration options are grassing with wallpaper, ceramic tiles cladding, artificial or natural stone, decorative plaster, sheet sheets with drywall sheets or simply wall painting.

Despite the fact that some finishing materials requires good owning the tool and experience in the construction case, the performance of work is generally easier than when working with ceilings. Also, before starting the finish wall decoration, their surface must be thoroughly aligned with plaster and putty. Today, ceramic tiles, wallpaper, decorative plaster, various paints, drywall sheets, lining, lining, as well as many other materials presented on the market are used to finish the walls of a private house.

In fact, the same materials are used to decorate the ceiling and walls. Unless for the ceiling the exception is ceramic tiles, artificial and natural stone.

Grinding in a private house

The main work on the arrangement of the floor were done at the stage of creating the foundation, but the floor is finally created during the interior decoration. It should be noted right away that the finish flooring is laid at the very end, after the end of the entire finish, so as not to accidentally damage it throughout all work.

The choice of flooring will also depend on the concrete or wooden. So for concrete floors, any floor coverings are suitable, starting from ceramic floor tiles And finishing parquet. But for a wooden there are certain restrictions on materials. For their finish, you can use massive board, parquet, laminate, linoleum. Such restrictions are related to the design of the wooden floor and the technology of laying flooring. Of course, even on a wooden floor you can put ceramic tiles and arrange a warm floor, but the reliability and durability of this design will be in question.

Some features of the decoration of the premises

It is worth noting that the finish of the kitchen in a private house, bath and bathroom requires the use of materials resistant to conditions of high humidity. Therefore, various alkyd paints are often used to finish the ceiling of the kitchen. The walls are finished with ceramic tiles, lining or simply painted. For the floor in such rooms, laying linoleum, tiles or stone is most suitable.

To decorate such rooms as the bedroom and the living room, you can use any materials. The main thing is that they meet the requirements for environmental friendliness, since in these rooms we spend more time.

The finish of the corridor in a private house is a special case. It's all about the immediate vicinity of the street. Therefore, choosing how to make the finish should be given preference to moisture resistant materials resistant to temperature changes. In addition, it will not be superfluous to take care of good thermal insulation.
