The exterior finish of any building is designed to provide not only the attractiveness of the facade, but its reliability and additional insulation. Facades of multi-storey buildings did not become an exception to the rule, they also need to be finished with various materials.
On the Internet pages and in the catalogs of construction companies involved in facade work in residential buildings, you can find many photos of luxurious facades. But in reality, it is very problematic to carry out some projects, since multi-storey buildings must fit into the architecture of the city.
Special moments when finishing multi-storey buildings
Finishing the facades of high-rise buildings, residential or other purposes, has several nuances.
- Facade work on multi-storey buildings is more complex in execution technology. Therefore, they take more time compared to low-rise buildings.
- For these purposes it is necessary to use scaffolding.
- In some cases, the services of industrial climbers are needed.
Advice! To save a little, you can rent scaffolding, and resort to the services of climbers only when necessary.
Finishes used
At the moment, two main methods of finishing are widely used.
Wet facades
This method of finishing involves the use of a variety of facade plasters or various facing tiles. As you can see in the photo, this method is distinguished by the integrity of the structure and the reliability of the coating. However, the complexity of the process and the presence of a large amount of construction debris limit the application of this method. Of the advantages, it is worth noting the affordable price of plaster facade work.
Ventilated facades
This modern option for finishing the facades of residential buildings is optimal for multi-storey buildings. Such systems are characterized by the following indicators:
- This finish compares favorably with the presence of an air gap between the outer surface of the wall and the facing material. This prevents the formation and accumulation of condensate on the inner surface of the insulation. Which, in turn, prolongs the life of the insulation itself and the structure as a whole.
- Such hinged systems allow the use of a variety of materials as sheathing panels, which allows you to create an original appearance of the building.
- The installation of ventilated systems allows not only to give an aesthetic appearance to the house, but also to achieve a significant reduction in heating costs with the use of modern heaters.
It is this technology that is most often used in the decoration of facades of multi-storey buildings for various purposes.
Advice! If you want to keep up with the times and use modern technologies in construction, choose ventilated curtain walls.
Materials for ventilated facades
The panels used for the installation of ventilated facades can be very diverse. The most used are:
- Aluminum panels - with low weight, they have high mechanical strength and durability, increased anti-corrosion properties. Such a facade, as in the photo, looks great and gives solidity to the appearance of the building.
- Vinyl panels are also lightweight. Such a facing material is easy to install, plastic and somewhat cheaper than aluminum panels, which plays its role when facing large areas.
- Facade panels made of composite materials are durable and practical. The light weight and convenient size of the panels make it easy and quick to create an original and fresh building design.
Advice! The choice of material and the general style of a multi-storey building within the city must be coordinated with the relevant authorities.
The choice of material for facing the facade of a multi-storey building is a rather difficult task. In addition to some approvals, it is necessary to take into account the cost and characteristics of the material and pay special attention to the professionalism of the installers.
