White facade of a private house - decoration features

Only at first glance it seems that the choice of color of the facade of a private home is a simple matter. Just open the color palette in the building materials catalog and select your favorite shade for the finishing material. But do we often see houses in red, green or bright yellow? In fact, most homeowners choose neutral, light shades to decorate the facades of their homes. And there are several reasons for this. When choosing a color palette for facade cladding, it is necessary to take into account not only the combination of decoration with the design of the roof, window and doorways, but also the combinatorics of the building as a whole with the surrounding landscape. If there is a lot of greenery around your house, then the light shade of the facade of your house, combined with a dark or bright roof, will look luxurious.

Many owners of private houses decide on the design of the facade using the white color of various decoration materials. And not only because the shades of white are able to give the exterior of the building a sense of freshness, purity, freedom and lightness, but also because they combine perfectly with any other colors. This is a win-win option for homeowners who could not decide on color schemes at the construction and planning stages and ordered materials for roof cladding, window and door openings, based solely on technological qualities.

In this publication we will try to decide how best to finish the facade of a private house in order to get the image of our dreams - clean and fresh, bright and even festive. We hope that an impressive selection of design projects of modern private houses, made in different styles and decorated using different finishing materials, will help you make the right decision in transforming an old home or decorating a new one.

The modern market is full of options for materials for decorating the exterior of a private home for every taste and size of a wallet. After all, the modern decoration of the external walls of the dwelling is not only giving a certain external appearance to the building, but also correcting structural defects, irregularities and deviations from geometric parameters, warming and decorating the facade. Let's try not to get lost in this variety and choose the appropriate method for the appropriate climatic state of the environment, the possibilities of the homeowner and his budget.

This is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most popular ways to decorate the facade of a private house. It is suitable for buildings made of various blocks - gas silicate, foam blocks and cinder blocks.

As a rule, the application of plaster occurs on a reinforced base, which helps to prevent cracking of the plaster during the operation of the home. The applied layer of plaster can be smooth or textured. To obtain a relief or textured layer, special rollers and dies of various modifications are used. Currently, the so-called “wet plaster compositions” are most popular. They have various color pigments and decorative blotches, which allows you to create a rough layer that does not require subsequent painting.

Plaster is often combined with other elements of the decoration, performing a more decorative role. For example, a natural stone or its successful imitation in combination with light stucco looks very contrasting, bright and attractive.Typically, a stone (or its analogue) is faced with the basement of a building, corners or various structural elements - columns, arches, door or window openings. A similar result can be achieved when using brick instead of masonry.

Cladding the exterior walls of a home with vinyl siding is a very popular way of obtaining the desired shade of the building’s facade and protecting the walls from environmental influences. If you stop your choice on this type of finishing material, then you need to learn about all the nuances of its installation and subsequent operation.

High-quality vinyl siding has a number of advantages over other finishing materials in its spectrum, but also requires the fulfillment of certain conditions before direct installation.

Among the advantages of siding as a finishing material for private households, the following can be noted:

• heat resistance (incombustibility);
• high resistance to corrosion (moisture resistance);
• resistance to temperature changes (quietly tolerates both very high and extremely low ambient temperatures);
• has a sufficiently high thermal insulation properties;
• simplicity in leaving and operation (you can just wash a siding a stream of water from a hose);
• the ability to mount the material yourself (with proper surface preparation).

But, as always, the medal has a flip side and not a single finishing material can do without shortcomings, among which the main ones are the following:

• the need to align the walls, eliminate differences in surfaces for proper installation of siding (with this preparation, the material will last a long time and will look like the first day after installation);
• for areas with harsh winters, it is necessary to use insulation, because siding itself does not insulate the building, it is only able to maintain the existing heat of the walls well.

Thermal panels are a facing material consisting of two layers - polyurethane insulation and clinker tiles. From the name it is obvious that the lower layer is necessary to give the material heat-insulating properties, and the upper one is to protect surfaces from environmental influences and give the building an aesthetic appearance. In construction stores you can find the second name of this finishing material - sandwich panels.

Depending on the thickness of the walls of your private home and the climatic conditions of the area, you can choose thermal panels of various thicknesses, usually from 40 to 100 mm. The thickness of the sandwich panels will be directly proportional to the value of the minus temperature in your region in the winter.

In our country, this facing material is popular not only because of the ability to “kill two birds with one stone” - to insulate the house and transform the facade, but also due to its affordable cost and uncomplicated installation process.

Often recently, you can find the decoration of facades of both private and public buildings with the help of durable and durable material - granite. Usually, these are ventilated facades, the decoration of which can be done at any time of the year (which is very important for the extreme climate in many regions of our country). Thanks to natural ventilation, walls are protected from condensation and subsequent mold formation.

Ventilated facades are popular in the vastness of our homeland, because in winter they can reduce the thermal conductivity of the building, and in the summer they do not allow the surfaces of the building to heat up. Briefly, the installation process of a ventilated facade can be described in this way - load-bearing profiles made of corrosive metal are fastened vertically and horizontally to the walls, insulation is mounted to the surface, and then ceramic tiles are installed using the fastening system.Recently, seamless fastening systems, in which the finish looks like a whole, are becoming increasingly popular.

As a rule, they resort to painting masonry if it is necessary to hide defects of the old structure, chips that have appeared and possible mold. It is impossible to paint the new, just erected brick cladding, a break is necessary until the complete completion of the weathering and de-alkalization of the surfaces.

In order to paint the brick walls of the facade of your home in white, it is necessary to conduct a considerable preparation of the surfaces - to rid the walls of dust, rinsing out of the hose, get rid of possible mold and fungus with the help of special antiseptics, dry, apply the primer on a clean plane and only after full Dry to start painting.

For brick walls, a special paint is used that is resistant to aggressive, alkaline environmental influences. The paint for the brick facade should be moisture resistant and have a porous structure in order to preserve the main advantages of brick as a building and facing material - good vapor conductivity.

Combination of the facade looks beautiful, original, and most importantly, practical, in which snow-white painting of the walls contrasts with the wooden finish of various structural elements using a facade board or block house. Even the old, dilapidated facade of the house with such a finish acquires not just a fresh look, but a modern and attractive image of the building.

Even a simple rectangular building without any decor will look bright, interesting and remarkable if, along with the snow-white facade, dark, almost black window frames and doors are used. If a garage adjoins the main building, then the use of the same dark tone for the execution of the garage door will be harmonious. Such a house will look great against a background of greenery.

The use of blue and blue shades for decorating elements of a snow-white building leads to the creation of a fresh, airy and “cool” image of private home ownership. You can use blue shades to decorate window or doorways, balcony railings (if any) or to decorate the roof gable.

Your private home ownership will acquire a touch of European style in the design of facades, if you use dark contrasting tiles to snow-white wall decoration. In addition to the fact that any decorative elements will look bright and expressive on a white background, even the pastel shade of window frames and doorways will look more advantageous on the snow-white facade of the house.

The use of snow-white painting in conjunction with decorative plastering and decoration with the help of wooden panels allows you to create an original, memorable image of the facade of the house. With the help of combinatorics of various shades and textures in the decoration of the external walls of the household, it is possible to give the strict geometry of the building the motives of the futuristic direction in architecture, to create a non-trivial approach to the design of a private home.

The snow-white facade of the building “requires” appropriate design and adjacent buildings (garage, awning, terrace or arbors and patios located near the main building). The whole ensemble will look organically, even if various materials are used to decorate buildings - white color visually balances the composition.

If the homeowner has large panoramic windows, doors and other structural elements made of glass, then in a compartment with a snow-white facade, you get an incredibly bright, light and clean image of the home, which many homeowners associate with a dream home.

The white color of the facade allows you to visually increase the scale of a small house; it looks great with any color scheme for decorating a roof, window frames and doors, porch decor and adjacent buildings. With white color, as with a blank sheet of paper, you can experiment in decorating your home from the outside.
