How to cover the outside of a wooden house inexpensively and beautifully

A beautifully tiled house fascinates and attracts attention. The facade of any house, especially a wooden one, is subject to the influence of adverse conditions: precipitation, wind. External cladding protects the facade of the house from moisture penetration, drafts and other environmental influences. Cladding a home gives it a fresh, aesthetically pleasing look and appeal. To answer the question, what is the best way to sheathe the outside of a wooden house, reviews of the finishing of which vary, let us consider the advantages and merits of each of these materials.

The need for external cladding

Wood is a material that gives warmth and a pleasant atmosphere to the house. It breathes and creates favorable conditions for life. This is a natural product that is harmless to health and does not emit toxic substances. But the tree does not last long. Bugs infest the wood and it rots. To protect it from external influences, sheathing is used. Cladding the outside of a wooden house retains heat in the house, prevents the penetration of drafts, and protects from precipitation. To correctly determine what material to cover the outside of a wooden house, you need to pay attention to the criteria for its selection.

Materials for external cladding must have the following positive qualities:

• environmental friendliness. The façade finishing must be an environmentally friendly and safe material;
• low thermal conductivity. Good cladding of a wooden house retains heat and prevents the formation of cold bridges;
• high breathability. External cladding of excellent quality has excellent vapor-permeable properties. She is breathing. In such a house it is comfortable, condensation, fungus and mold do not form;
• aesthetics. The cladding should have a beautiful appearance, attracting the attention of passers-by and indicating the neatness and thriftiness of the homeowner;
• ease of installation. The home owner will save his money to call a specialist. Ease of installation will allow you to do the facade work yourself;
• low cost. Cheap material will save the family budget;
• high strength and reliability of finishing, which will increase the service life of the house;
• durability. High quality and durability will allow you to admire the finish and live in warmth and comfort for a long time. Such cladding materials do not need to be changed annually or constantly painted.

Proper preparation for cladding the outside of a house

Regardless of the material used, it is necessary to prepare the façade so that it will serve for many years and no problems will arise under the outer cladding. The instructions are quite simple, the main thing is to follow them:

1. Carry out work in a dry, warm period, when the moisture level in the wood is minimal.
2. First of all, you should remove the remnants of the old finish and everything that does not hold up well or may interfere with the work.
3. Carefully inspect the surface. If there are cracks, the easiest way is to fill them with foam. The excess is cut off with a knife after the composition has hardened.
4. If, on the contrary, there are convex areas or protruding knots, you need to remove them using a plane or sander.
5. When pockets of fungus or mold are found, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned, and then the material should be treated with a special compound. It is best to do this 2-3 times to ensure effectiveness.
6. It is recommended to treat the wood with a fire-retardant compound. Due to the fact that the base will be covered with cladding, the effect of impregnation will last for many years.

Everything is quite simple, it is only important to make the base level. True, it is also necessary to remove excess moisture, but only if it is present.

How facade decoration affects the heat and sound insulation of a house

Facade decoration has different effects on the heat and sound insulation of a house. There are materials, for example, sandwich panels, which contain insulation and soundproofing material. They save the building from heat loss and protect from extraneous noise. Not all cladding improves the soundproofing properties of a home and is highly energy efficient.

It is best to install insulation under the finishing. It will help you feel comfortable on frosty days and protect you from the wind.

Insulating your home will significantly reduce your heating costs, especially if you live in a cold region.

Is it worth installing additional insulation?

In winter, despite the constant and uninterrupted operation of the heating, it can be very cold in a wooden house. In a new wooden house this is not so noticeable, but in old buildings it feels cold for no apparent reason, blows from the cracks and even the walls freeze. There may be several reasons .

1. One of the culprits of drafts in a wooden house is not hermetically installed windows . This often happens when the installation technology is violated.
2. Joints and poor-quality insulation of gaps between logs also take away a significant amount of heat.
3. Wall thickness , taken without taking into account the climatic characteristics of the region, is another common cause of cold in the house.
4. The draft can come from a poorly insulated basement or from the attic floor.

All of the above problems can be easily solved with the help of insulating materials laid under decorative finishing. The construction market today offers a variety of materials in different price categories and allows you to choose the appropriate option for facade finishing.

Wood materials

Modern materials that meet many criteria for choosing exterior finishing are wood materials. They have high decorative qualities, retain heat, and can be combined with other finishing materials. In houses decorated with wood, you can breathe easily, always cozy and comfortable. We provide an overview of the wood materials most in demand among consumers.

Lining

This is a profiled board milled on a machine. It is made from oak, linden, pine and spruce. Residual moisture after chamber drying is 9-14%.

Lining

Lining has a number of advantages:

• does not require maintenance;
• environmentally friendly, does not emit harmful substances. This is a natural material;
• thanks to simple installation, you can easily cover the facade of a log house yourself;
• good thermal insulation material;
• low weight allows you to save on strengthening the foundation;
• has high sound insulation properties;
• a variety of colors and textures allows you to find the material of your choice;
• moisture-resistant, not afraid of temperature changes;
• strong and durable;
• Thanks to the air ducts in the solid boards, the wooden façade is vapor permeable. In such a house it is pleasant to breathe, comfortable and cozy.

Flaws:

• susceptibility to rotting and the appearance of wood-eating insects;
• excessive humidity;
• flammability.

The lining must be treated with antiseptics against pathogenic microorganisms and insects, stains and varnishes to give different colors and a beautiful effect, and fire-resistant impregnations.

Block house

Some consider a block house to be a type of lining. But that's not true. This is a more durable and reliable material. To improve the appearance and antiseptic properties, it is coated with stain or protective varnish. To restore its visual appeal, acrylic varnish is applied to it once every 3-4 years. The finishing material is treated with an antiseptic against pathogenic microorganisms, mold and mildew.

The house block is smooth on the back side, and on the front side it has a convex surface that imitates a log.

The facade of the house, covered with a house block, looks like a Russian log hut.

The block house is made from deciduous and coniferous trees.

Positive properties:

Block house

• natural, therefore has a positive effect on human health;
• moisture resistant. Natural resins allow the material to be used in a house with high humidity. Resins are a special waterproofing barrier that prevents wood decay and mold formation;
• durable and hard material that resists the influence of precipitation, sunlight and other environmental factors;
• looks luxurious and beautiful;
• due to the light weight, the load on the foundation is reduced;
• It is easy and simple to install, so covering a house with it yourself will not be difficult.

Minuses:

• like any tree, it is flammable;
• low vapor permeability leads to the formation of condensation. To avoid this, it is important to ensure good ventilation in the house.

Imitation of timber

This is a modern material with high performance characteristics. It is a profiled board that is mounted using the tongue-and-groove method. On the front side it is smooth, on the back it has many ventilation ducts.

Advantages:

Imitation timber (false timber)

• has low thermal conductivity, due to which it retains heat in the room;
• high sound insulation prevents the passage of noise from the street;
• is resistant to various environmental influences;
• the finishing looks impressive;
• the cost of the material is average;
• you can line the outside with imitation timber with your own hands due to the ease of installation;
• it is possible to replace individual boards;
• environmentally friendly

Disadvantages:

• the material is fire-resistant, burns;
• susceptible to corrosion, insect infestation and mold.

Planken

You can decorate the facade of a wooden house with planken. These are planks from 2 to 5 m long, from 9 to 19 cm wide and 2 cm thick. Planken can be straight or with beveled edges. Straight plank is laid at the joint, and beveled plank overlaps.

Planken finishing

• made of Siberian larch, so it becomes harder from moisture;
• not subject to rotting;
• has a pleasant aesthetic appearance, looks noble and impressive;
• it is a natural, environmentally friendly material and does not emit toxic substances;
• the variety of shapes and colors expands the possibilities of design imagination. Any decorative style will suit him;
• ease of installation does not require the involvement of specialists. You can also do the finishing yourself.
• You can buy the material inexpensively.

The disadvantages of planken include natural flaws: knots and resin pockets. In addition, it must be processed and correctly applied with exterior wood paint.

Burnt board

Having talked about the main types of cladding for facades, let's move on to technology. As mentioned above, when working outdoors, the board must be painted or coated with protective preparations. But you can do without “chemistry”. To make wood impervious to moisture, ultraviolet radiation, rot, insects, etc. need... to burn it.

Firing options
Surprisingly, a regular gas burner turns wood into an almost invulnerable material. The melted resin closes the pores like glue. Under the influence of high temperatures, the sugars contained in the juice decompose - food for harmful microorganisms. And the soot settling on the surface makes the board difficult to ignite.

Resinous woods such as cedar, pine, spruce, etc. perform best when fired. However, other breeds can be treated in a similar way. But you need to work with a gas torch or a blowtorch. On a regular open fire, the material chars too much and loses its strength.

Burnt wood does not require painting or impregnation with protective agents. Moreover, its lifespan is calculated in decades

Siding

You can cover a log house with siding.

“Siding” translated from English means “cladding.” The material consists of narrow long panels connected using the tongue-and-groove method. The lamellas have mounting shelves through which they are screwed to the sheathing with self-tapping screws. The lock allows you to quickly mount the slats and hide the fastening. Panels come in different materials: vinyl, wood, metal. The length of the panels varies from 2 to 6 m depending on the type of siding, the width is from 1 to 3 cm. The thickness of the material is 0.5-1.2mm, the wooden panels are thicker—2.4-3.6mm.

Facade covered with siding

Benefits of siding

• has a wide range of colors and textures that retain their aesthetic qualities for a long time. A variety of colors and types of siding allows the consumer to choose the material to their liking;
• the light weight of some types of panels makes it possible to cope with installation independently, without outside help;
• The locking method of connecting lamellas facilitates the completion of cladding quickly, within a short period of time. Ease of installation favors finishing facades with your own hands, without the involvement of specialists;
• the fire resistance of the panels prevents the building from catching fire, because it only melts, but does not burst into flames (with the exception of wood siding);
• the material does not need to be tinted or renewed, because the paint is added during the production of the lamellas;
• long service life makes siding popular. It retains its attractive appearance for more than 50 years;
• environmentally friendly material that does not emit toxic substances into the atmosphere;
• resistant to various external influences: precipitation, temperature changes. It does not scratch, is not susceptible to rotting and the appearance of fungus, and is resistant to chemicals;
• perfectly insulates the lined façade;
• The low cost of the product helps save money in the family budget.

Weaknesses of the material

Like any building material, siding has its drawbacks.

• Most types of siding exclude partial replacement of elements. During repair work, disassembly of the entire canvas is required;
• When covering facades, additional insulation is required;
• Some panels are fragile and must be installed carefully

There are several types of siding: vinyl, metal, fiber cement.

Vinyl

These are panels made of polyvinyl chloride. They can withstand temperatures from -50 to + 50 degrees. PVC panels are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, do not crack, and are not subject to fire. The lamellas have a smooth and rough surface and a wide range of colors.

Vinyl siding facade

Metal

Panels are made of galvanized steel with polymer coating or aluminum. Light weight allows the use of metal siding for multi-story buildings. Aluminum is not coated with polymers, so it quickly fades from the sun. Metal siding is durable and environmentally friendly.

Fiber cement

It is made from cement with the addition of cellulose, sand and minerals. The embossed surface imitates wood or natural stone. The material is heavy, so it is placed on a strong frame.

Fiber cement siding

Caring for wood floors

The main enemies of wooden cladding are moisture and accompanying microorganisms (fungi, mold, etc.). In order to protect the surface, special impregnations should be used. The façade must be treated with them regularly. The period of reapplication depends on the type of cladding, but on average, experts advise updating the protection once every 5-7 years. You can also paint the surface to update the color and provide protection, but wood is so self-sufficient that you can do without it.

With proper installation and proper care, a wooden facade will delight its owner for many years. This eco-friendly type of finishing can create a unique and original exterior.

Panels

Panels are a group of materials for the exterior decoration of a building. They have different characteristics and properties. They can be used to cover not only the old façade, but also the basement. Let's look at the popular types of panels, their pros and cons.

Fiber cement panels

This is a material made of lightweight concrete with the addition of fiber. They imitate wood, stone, brick. They are used for finishing private buildings, public buildings and shopping centers.

Types of paints and their characteristics

Belinka

Wood protective paint containing alkyd resins that can protect against weathering and exposure to sunlight. Creates a decorative coating on the surface that penetrates deeply into the wood structure.

Tikkurila

The variety of paints of this brand can be the envy of any other manufacturer of paints and varnishes. has been on the market for more than 150 years, and during this time it has accumulated a large assortment of facade paints. The most popular paint is Tikkurila Ultra Classic. It fits perfectly on pre-primed surfaces. The Pika-Teho brand is no less popular. On the contrary, it is used for painting unprepared, untreated surfaces.

Neomid

Neomid brand paint for facade work is elastic and is capable of long-term decorative protection of walls, fences, window frames and OSB panels from external harmful influences. It has high dirt-repellent properties and resistance to wet wiping with detergents, as it contains biocidal components. It is environmentally friendly and does not contain harmful solvents

Senezh

Senezh is not a paint as such. This is primarily an acrylic-alkyd based antiseptic. Its main purpose is to provide the tree with long-term protection of the house from mold, fungi, precipitation and insects. It is especially recommended to treat rare, expensive wood species with it before painting. After drying, its composition creates a breathable, matte coating, resulting in a ventilated façade.

Teknos

Finnish Teknos paints for exterior use have a huge range of both architectural and construction brands and household paints for wood.

Rogneda

The Rogenda company is a Russian manufacturer of antiseptics and facade paints for wood processing. The most popular paints are Rogenda Aquatex of three brands: primer, extra and balm. The soil provides the highest degree of protection from atmospheric influences, as well as from beetles and ants. Extra - the greatest brightness, the balm contains both protective qualities and a rich color.

Zobel

The German company for the production of paints and varnishes “Berger-Zobel” has proven itself excellent thanks to its products. In addition to antiseptics and facade impregnations, the special protective varnish “Deco-tec Zobel” is very popular. It adheres excellently to the surface in any weather conditions, has low consumption and does not contain harmful impurities.

Dulux

These paints are presented by the English manufacturer Dulux. The company is mainly focused on products for interior finishing. However, the Dulux Trade Smooth Masonry brand is presented on the market, designed specifically for the external surfaces of not only wooden coverings, but also concrete, stone and brick products. The paint has a matte surface and is made on a water-based emulsion.

Yaroslavl paints

This is a whole group of companies that are the largest operator producing paints and varnishes in Russia and the CIS countries. The Premia brand enjoys the greatest success for facade work. This paint is breathable, providing a balance of air exchange and is the most weather-resistant: the coating warranty period is 7 years.

How to install the external cladding of a wooden house

Installation of external cladding depends on its type. But when installing it, it is necessary to take into account whether there will be a porch near the house in the future and provide for this immediately at the stage of measuring the facade.

Brick façade cladding

Before cladding, a 1 m test laying is carried out. The façade is faced with brick using a special template tool. Before laying, the brick is wetted. Vertical seams should be no more than 10 mm, and horizontal seams - 12 mm. The horizontal positioning is checked using a level. The solution is mixed in small portions because it dries quickly. Spoon bonding is the most popular laying of facing bricks. This type of masonry involves shifting it by half or a quarter. There are other masonry options: Bavarian, decorative, front, reinforced, lightweight.

Facade cladding with siding

Siding is installed on the sheathing. They are attached to the sheathing with self-tapping screws through mounting shelves. When marking the facade and plinth, lines are formed that close together, forming a contour. Then the starting bar and vertical guides are attached. Insulation is laid, and a windproof membrane is mounted on top of it. A new sheathing is installed to provide a ventilation gap. The first panel is mounted to the starting strip, to which all other slats are connected using a tongue-and-groove method. The cladding ends with finishing strips.

Sheathing with imitation timber

First, a vapor barrier is installed. The panels are overlapped by 10-15 cm. Next, the lathing is made. They are fastened with dowels or self-tapping screws. Insulation is placed between the sheathing elements. A windproof membrane is installed on top of the insulation. It is attached to the sheathing with staples. A counter-lattice is installed for ventilation. An imitation of timber is placed on the sheathing boards using the locking method. You can start sheathing from the top or bottom.

Lining with clapboard

Correct installation of clapboards is carried out in a certain order.

First, the wooden sheathing is installed.

Insulation is placed between the sheathing in the voids: mineral wool or penoplex.

A windproof membrane and waterproofing film are installed. It is attached with staples. The counter-lattice is mounted, and the lining is laid on it. Mount it from bottom to top or top to bottom from the corner. The main thing is that the groove faces up. The principle of installing lining on the facade is the same as on the ceiling in a wooden house inside.

Installation of block house

Its installation is similar to installation with clapboard. First, a vapor barrier film is installed, the sheathing is installed, thermal insulation, a windproof membrane, and a counter-lattice are installed. Next, a house block is placed, securing the lamellas using a locking method. The material is fixed with clamps, screws, and staples.

Planken installation

Installing planks is not much different from installing lining. First, the sheathing is installed and leveled using a building level. Insulation is carried out and a windproof membrane is installed. The difference from the installation of lining is the laying of the material. Planken has a straight and beveled profile. Can be overlapped or butted. It is mounted on the sheathing in 2 ways: open and hidden. The open method consists of strengthening the plank with self-tapping screws. For the hidden method, a snake fastening is used. Mark the planken and secure the snake. Place the plank facing the sheathing and tighten the self-tapping screw through the protruding end of the snake. Other boards are mounted similarly.

Installation of thermal panels

They are mounted using a locking method. First, marking is carried out, then the starting profile is installed. Installation starts from the corner. Disc-shaped dowels are used for fixation. The joints are sealed with putty.

Installation of profiled steel sheets

The corrugated sheet is mounted on a wooden sheathing. The material is laid overlapping in one wave. Steel sheets are fastened with self-tapping screws. At first, the fasteners are not fully screwed in order to be able to adjust the accuracy of installation of the corrugated sheet. If the corrugated sheeting is laid evenly and correctly, tighten the screws.

Expert opinion: personally, I would prefer cladding with metal siding “under a log” or “under a beam,” whichever you like. Despite the rather high cost of the material, I see a significant advantage in the fact that once you have sheathed the house, you can forget about periodic repairs and painting of the facade in the future. In addition, by insulating the facade according to thermal engineering calculations with overlapping seams, you can significantly save on heating the house and practically reduce the “drum effect” from metal cladding to zero.

We introduced you to the pros and cons of different finishing materials. From our article you learned what is the best way to sheathe the outside of a wooden house. Reviews about the materials are varied. It’s up to you to decide what to cover the façade with! Cheap and beautiful or expensive and rich.

Thermowood

You can harden a board not only by firing. Factory treatment of wood with hot steam is even more effective. At high temperatures (185–205°C), the sugars contained in the juice, which we discussed above, burn out. But that is not all. The surface layers of the board become much denser, which means water absorption is reduced. Moreover, it decreases significantly – by 3–5 times. This means that such cladding will not care about rain and snow.

Heat treatment has another noticeable advantage. The board ceases to be sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. This means that it will not swell and dry out on the facades, gradually tearing out the fasteners.

However, it’s worth talking about fasteners separately. The high density of thermowood makes it prone to splitting. To prevent cracks from appearing on the board when hammering nails or screwing in self-tapping screws, preliminary drilling is necessary, and this adds hassle to the installers.

Special clamps have been developed for heat-treated wood that allow for hidden fastening

All other things being equal, thermowood costs 2-2.5 times more than simple lining. But this is not the whim of the manufacturers. The fact is that before hardening with heat and steam, the raw materials are carefully selected. Boards with knots, resin pockets, fungal infections, etc. are discarded, since all these defects will manifest themselves in the oven. This, as well as the complexity of production, explains the high price.

Reviews

Let's find out what owners of wooden houses and professional builders say about different options for cladding buildings.

• Igor, 38 years old, Penza: “I built my house last year. House near the city, for permanent residence. It is made of wood, so I kept the question of the outer cladding in my head right away. I thought about corrugated sheeting, and lining, and siding. As a result, the choice fell on siding, since our building is of the Scandinavian type: minimalist, with large windows, without protrusions, decoration, etc. The color chosen was light beige: and now the house looks like a typical home in Sweden or Norway. I’m pleased, the family also appreciated it.”
• Sergey, 46 years old: “As a builder with 25 years of experience, I deal with various options for cladding buildings almost every day. In recent years, I have been working more with wooden buildings, so I can authoritatively say: if you want something not too elegant, but cheap, choose corrugated sheeting. If you want it to be representative and respectable, it’s a block house. And siding and lining are perfect for all occasions - the most popular materials in my practice.”

Preparatory work

The main part of the preparation for the process of insulation and cladding of a wooden building consists of sanitizing its walls with the help of special chemicals designed to protect the wood from infection by fungus, harmful insects and rodents. In addition, it is mandatory to lay a special vapor barrier layer between the internal walls and the external thermal insulation layer.

As a rule, it is:

• polyethylene;
• aluminium foil;
• bitumen roofing felt;
• vapor barrier made of special materials.

The most optimal price/quality ratio is polyethylene, since it can significantly reduce the financial costs of covering a house.

Laying vapor barrier

Installing a vapor barrier involves maintaining a small air gap between it and the wall of the building. Therefore, if the walls are flat on the outside, before laying the film, a frame should be built on them from slats about 3 centimeters thick, nailing them in increments of about half a meter. After this, special ventilation holes must be made in the slats in all four directions and proceed directly to the installation of the vapor barrier. The film is nailed to the slats or round logs of the wall with nails or a construction stapler with an overlap at intervals of about 15 centimeters. Upon completion of this stage, the joints and placement of fasteners must be sealed with special construction tape.
