Once upon a time there lived the Hare, the Bear and the Fox in the forest. The Hare had a bast house, Bear had an icy, and Lisa had a hut, attention! was finished with metal siding. The hut burned out at the Hare, the Bear melted, and the Fox still stands. Why not take advantage of the practical wisdom of the wise Fox and not build your two-story hut with a garage lined with metal siding?

Promising application of metal siding in construction
The variety of finishing materials was enriched by the appearance of metal siding, which is distinguished by its remarkable wear resistance and durability. The increased interest in the new material, which is a kind of external siding, is explained simply.
Good performance, attractive appearance, simplicity and accessibility of installation made metal siding an actual and popular finishing material.
Finishing metal facade safely solves the problem of creating a ventilated facade and finishing the walls of private houses.
This material is successfully used in the suburban construction of private houses, the decoration of shopping centers, supermarkets and other facilities. Due to the high refractory qualities of the finishing material, the prospect of its application is iridescent. To take advantage of the finishing material, we learn more about the technical characteristics, types and scope of its application.
Technical characteristics of metal siding
Metallosiding is a panel facing from cold metal, metal thickness from 0.30 to 0.45 mm and mounting width from 335 to 550 mm. The length of the panels can reach 4-6 m.
The outer side of the material has a polymer coating (pural, polyester, plastoizol). Practical technical characteristics of the polymer coating and various color solutions make it possible to create a metal siding for a tree (beam, board or log) and stone.
No less significant and indicative is the low coefficient of thermal expansion of metal siding.
The material does not fade in the sun, does not rust after the rain and does not burst into hard frosts.
The main performance characteristics can be confidently called metal siding profile and fixing methods.
Leveling systems and fasteners
Alignment systems are used to create the metal-mounting mounting plane. There are two types of leveling systems for the guides: horizontal and vertical systems.
The system is assembled from galvanized profiles and brackets, as well as 40 mm wooden blocks. Adjusting the profiles and brackets relative to the supporting wall allows the plane to be leveled by 30 mm by reference. Fixing elements of fasteners are installed on the base of the wall using dowels of polyamide, anchor bolts and screws.
Let us suggest that, depending on the spatial placement of the leveling system, use:
• for metal: self-tapping screws ø 4.2 mm, length 16 mm
• for wood: screws ø 3.5 mm, length 50 mm.
Mounting of the guides is done by self-tapping screws ø 4.8 mm with a length of 16 mm.
To mount the metal siding with your own hands, you will need additional elements, similar in purpose to the kit of additional siding elements:
• starting and finishing laths
• inside and outside corners
• Sloping and docking strips
• H-profile
• Reflux.
Types of metal section
According to the type of material profile, the following types of metal siding are distinguished:
• europanel (soffit panel)
• "profiled log"
• "ship board"
• "a rock"
• "cant".
europanel
A healthy alternative to the classic wood paneling is a metal-sided europanel. The ability to imitate wood using innovative technology Printech allows you to apply a characteristic coating method of photo-optic printing. The clarity and attractiveness of such panels gives the facades of private houses a stylish and noble look.
The possibilities of placing europanels for vertical and horizontal mounting expands the scope of application in creating a unique design. Even the complex architecture of the facades can be made by hand.
"Profiled Log", Block House
Finishing metal siding "Profiled Log" and Block House combines the look of a calibrated log and the properties of a siding. Equipping with a special simple connecting lock and a grip for securing the metal-logging "logs" allow you to quickly create facades and walls of private houses.
Shipboard
The profile of the metal siding "Shipboard" mimics the ordinary boardboard upholstery. However, the insignificant price of the shipboard in comparison with other metal facade materials (facade cassettes or rhombuses), the presence of secret fasteners makes it possible to create the illusion of a wooden structure.
Metal siding "Shipboard" is an ideal option for finishing a facade of a large area or fences.
Metallosiding stone in appearance is similar to traditional siding "under the stone." The same stylish design, attractive appearance and method of attachment.
euroscrew
With its original texture, the metal siding beam repeats the kind of laminated wooden beam with a width of up to 120 mm.
Recall that the installation of metal siding itself is similar to the production of works and technology installation of siding.
In addition to the device, the battens are vapor-insulated and the walls are insulated.
The only thing that must be provided before installing the siding of metal, this device is a reinforced metal crate.
Lining for metal siding
Any panel from metal siding has a weight of up to 3 kg, so the collected fragment of the wall or facade should be reinforced and fixed to the lath of metal.
For the erection of the flooring, it is possible to use a profile intended for the installation of a drywall or a ventilated run. For aligning the erected lath, brackets and elements of the U-shaped profile are suitable. The step of the battens depends on the type of panel profile and wall material. The most common step is 400 mm.
The location of the laths of the battens can be vertical or horizontal. From the choice of the location of the rails, the further arrangement of the outer panels will depend. If it is intended to install the metal siding horizontally, the rails of the billet are placed vertically.
How to install a metal siding
Before mounting the metal siding, we check the closing of the locks of all the panels in the lower part. The fastening of the panels starts from the center, moving to the edges of the facades. Mounting angles (external and internal) is made from the top. In order to avoid deformation of the panels, leave a gap of 1.5 mm between the panel and the nail.
