Fiber cement slab ventilation façade is a cladding element rectangular with decorative trim. Fiber cement is 80-90% cement, the rest is water, sand and cellulose fibers (fiber). Cellulose in this material plays the role of reinforcement. Sometimes fiberglass is added to the composition instead.

Due to the special method of installation, a gap remains between the ventilated facades and the walls of the building, ventilation is constantly carried out, which prevents the occurrence of many problems inherent in other types of facades. A layer of thermal insulation is placed in the gap.

Fiber cement slabs and their decorative coating are hardened during the production process to increase their strength. A water-repellent protective layer of polyurethane and acrylic is applied to the front layer of the finished board. Paint or other coating is applied to the treated surface. The last layer on front side- photoceramic or hydrophilic ceramic substances that form a film that provides self-cleaning of facades. The back side is applied

Fiber cement board finishing options:

• plain colored panels;
• stone chips in the color of natural stones;
• imitation of a brick wall;
• imitation of masonry;
• under wooden siding;
• for decorative plaster;
• mosaic, etc.

Service life of fiber cement facades, depending on the method decorative finishing from 20 years old.

The total cost of a ventilated facade made of fiber cement slabs will be from 1300 rubles. / sq. m, and together with the project and installation from 2800.

Fiber cement paneling is suitable for different types of buildings

You can not only design a new building, but also insulate the old one during the renovation. The use of slabs is also permissible indoors. Partitions are made of them, they are used to decorate the walls of bathrooms and shower rooms, toilets, etc. The material is suitable for finishing residential multi-storey buildings, industrial and office premises:

• swimming pools;
• health centers;
• car washes;
• high-rise buildings in windy regions;
• multi-storey car parks;
• business and shopping centers;
• other buildings with increased fire safety requirements.

Fiber cement boards are especially suitable for wall cladding of prefabricated and frame houses.

Installation of fiber cement boards

Fiber cement panels are mounted on a special frame (subsystem). There are three material options for making a subsystem:

• galvanized steel, coated with primer or powder paint;
• aluminum - optimal choice for price and quality;
• wood - a budget option, requires the use of protective impregnation.

Fastening of fiber cement slabs to the guides of the subsystem is carried out with rivets (in the color of the panels).

Fiber concrete facade, DIY installation:

1. Cleansing walls from old finishes, dust, dirt. , then you need to remove excess mortar in the seams. Check the verticality of the walls with a level.
2. Applying markings on the walls for the brackets according to a previously drawn up scheme. depends on the size of the panels, their weight.
3. Installation of plumb lines at a distance from the wall equal to the thickness of the future thermal insulation.
4. Installation of brackets using front anchors. The depth of the holes for the anchor depends on the wall material and the weight of the panels. If the walls are made of foam blocks, then it is possible to install brackets on. A special paronite gasket is placed under each bracket.
5. Adjustment of the length of the brackets for the thickness of the insulation layer (no more than 60 cm). Special extension cords may be required.
6. Installation of insulation plates according to special technology on mushroom (disc) dowels. The lower layer of insulation boards is fixed with three dowels. The upper one is installed in such a way that it overlaps the seams of the lower layer according to the principle brickwork... It is attached to five anchor fungi. This technology significantly improves the thermal insulation characteristics of facades. In for the brackets, slots are made.
7. Installation of horizontal frame guides. Step no more than 60 cm vertically. Attachment to the brackets is carried out using blind rivets.
8. Installation of a vertical profile on top of a horizontal one according to the compiled scheme. The sections of the profile in height are connected by a bus. There should be a small gap between them to compensate for the thermal expansion of the metal when the air temperature rises. The frame should be located at some distance from the insulation. After installation, there must remain between the boards and the thermal insulation ventilation gap... EPDM tape is attached to the frame elements. It provides a snug fit of the plate to the guides.
9. Installation to the frame of fire cut-offs,.
10. Cutting slabs into panels of the required dimensions. First you need to mark the slab. Then they put it on flat surface placing under it soft tissue to prevent scratches. For slicing, it is easiest to use circular saw... When cutting, its disc should not protrude below the cut by more than 5 mm. The surface of the slices is wiped with a dry cloth.
11. Drilling holes for rivets in pre-cut panels. Again, markup is first applied. You can only drill one plate at a time. The holes for the output of engineering communications are cut with a jigsaw.
12. Painting the ends of prepared slabs.
13. Fastening fiber cement panels to the frame with blind rivets.

Decorative strips

When installing some, including fiber cement, between separate elements seams are formed. In this case, finishing with fiber cement panels is complemented by the installation of decorative protective strips for the joints. They not only decorate the seams, but also protect them from the penetration of precipitation. They are attached to the profile during the installation of the plates.

Protective and decorative strips are made of galvanized steel, painted with powder paint. You can choose any color - for plates or a contrasting combination. Standard length products are two or three meters, but it is possible to manufacture according to the customer's size (up to 6 m). For each type of seam (vertical and horizontal), as well as for the decoration of the corners of the building, there are special strips. When calculating their number, take into account the height of the building, the dimensions of the slabs, the number of corners, window and doorways and etc.

Conclusion

Installation of ventilated facades made of fiber cement boards is simple, affordable way finishing and insulation of buildings. Large selection of options decorative coatings allows you to choose the right panels for every taste. Installation can be carried out by two people on their own, even in the absence of extensive experience in construction works... This will significantly reduce costs. If finances allow, then it is wiser for experienced specialists. This guarantees best result reliable beautiful finish houses outside.

Types of fiber cement facade panels

Products are produced in several versions, which differ in the purpose of the finishing material. Below are the types of panels.

Stages of installation of fiber cement facade panels

• Subsystem installation. Substructure is an important component of fiber cement facade panels, the quality of installation of which depends on the reliability of the entire facade. The supporting frame is mounted after applying the markings under the brackets. For high-quality installation it is necessary to pre-align the walls, taking into account the degrees of deviation along the entire perimeter.
• Insulation installation. The material fits into checkerboard to avoid the formation of seams that can come apart and render the system ineffective.
• Installation of material. Fiber cement boards are riveted. Planks (horizontal or vertical) are mounted on the seams.

Advantages of fiber cement facade panels

• Quality. The panels are manufactured on modern equipment of the TD LTM plant.
• High strength characteristics. Fiber cement facade panels are resistant to mechanical stress and ultraviolet light. Plates have a hard and dense coating, resistant to fire, moisture, aggressive substances.
• Installation speed. Features of fiber cement slabs for facades such as big square and light weight, significantly reduce the time installation works.
• Resistant to climatic influences. Fiber cement facade cladding is frost-resistant and designed for regions with different weather conditions.

Fiber cement panels, object photos

Among the multitude finishing materials designed for the facade of buildings, the so-called fiber cement panels stand out - they are produced using modern nanotechnology, which makes it possible to make this material practically invulnerable to natural factors. It is with him that we will understand in this article, in which, together with the site, we will study fiber cement facade panels, identify the advantages over other similar materials and find out how their installation is performed.

Fiber cement facade panels photo

First you need to clarify the situation with the question of what this material is. It is made on the basis of cement with the addition of additives that lighten the weight and increase its strength components. In addition, special microgranules have been added to the original composition of this material, the task of which is to absorb and release water depending on the humidity outside - in some types of fiber cement panels, the granules can be replaced with special ones. internal channels to remove excess moisture. This type facade panels are covered protective layer both from the front and from the back.

Fiber cement facade panels: advantages and disadvantages

Now about the advantages of fiber cement siding. There are a lot of them.

• First, it is strength and durability. Leading manufacturers of this material, subject to the installation technology, give a guarantee for their products - 50 years. But this does not limit their service life, with proper operation they can stand up to 100 years.
• Secondly, unpretentiousness to weather conditions - fiber cement panels for facades can be operated at temperatures from -80˚C to + 80˚C. At the same time, their quality does not suffer, and the dimensions always remain stable and do not depend on temperature and humidity.
• Thirdly, fire safety - in this respect, fiber cement panels are ahead of other systems of ventilated facades - for example, they burn out in a matter of moments, and the widely used "ecobond" is melted. In this respect, fiber cement practically does not react in any way to high temperatures.

• Fourth, environmental friendliness - in the process of manufacturing fiber panels, no chemical products are used. Moreover, this type of finishing material can even be used for interior decoration.
• Fifth, a variety of colors and textures. In their assortment, the leading manufacturers of fiber cement panels have more than five hundred varieties of this material - they are made for brick, natural stone, wood, etc. It is quite difficult to find such a natural material, the structure and color of which the manufacturers would not repeat. fiber cement siding.
• Sixth, this is a simple and affordable installation with your own hands, which we will consider a little later.

How fiber cement panels are installed: requirements for the frame

Installation of fiber cement panels is carried out in the so-called hinged method - this material is used to create ventilated facades. As a rule, the panels are mounted on a frame made of a special metal profile, to the device of which a number of requirements are put forward.

1. It must have a certain structure - two types of profile are used for the installation of the frame - the first of them are installed horizontally, and the second vertically. The latter are attached to horizontal profiles - fiber cement panels will be installed on them.

How to fix front photo panels

2. Reliable fastening frame to the load-bearing walls of the building. For these purposes, special brackets are used, which are attached to the wall through a parasite gasket, which reduces the effect of house precipitation on the frame. These brackets are mounted in a certain order - the step of their installation is 1000mm vertically, and 600mm horizontally. This is due to the size and characteristics of the panels.

3. Insulation of the house - it is carried out at the stage of assembling the frame, or rather, immediately after the installation of the brackets. v this case can various materials: Foam, rock wool or basalt slab are equally applicable. Insulation must be securely attached to the wall using plastic dowels with wide caps (popularly called "umbrellas").

It is on such a frame that fiber cement panels are installed.

The sequence of installation of fiber cement siding photo

Installation of panels on the frame: how to fix them correctly

Installation of fiber cement slabs, as well as the manufacture of a frame for them, has a number of features.

• First is basement ebb, which will prevent the foundation from getting wet - it is installed at a height of 50–100 mm from the building.
• Secondly, these are kleimers, whose tasks include fixing panels. The bottom row of kleimers must be installed just above the ebb - they will securely fix the panels at the base of the house. Kleimers are mounted on each vertical rail.
• Thirdly, it is a seam vertical bar, which will ensure the correct position of the plates relative to each other - it must be installed in the same way as the guides, observing the vertical level.

All these elements are securely screwed to the frame by means of self-tapping screws for metal with wide heads.

Installation of fiber cement panels photo

Well, then the panels themselves go. They seem to be put on the lower clamps, and their top is fixed with the next row of these fasteners. Cleamers serve not only to securely fasten fiber cement panels to the frame, but also to create an expansion joint.

An important stage in the installation of fiber panels is the correct formation of the outer corners - here the manufacturer provides two options for solving this problem. In the first case, the panels are connected without trimming, and in the second - with trimming at 45˚. In both cases, in the process of formation corner joints a special sealant and protective paint supplied by the manufacturer with the panels is used.

Kleimers for fiber cement panels photo

The production of fiber cement panels provides for their production of different thicknesses - depending on it, another installation method can be used. For thin panels, the design of which does not provide for a groove for installing cleats, fastening with self-tapping screws through the panel is characteristic.

In such situations, special attention must be paid to the drilling process of this material - the holes should not be closer than 50mm from the edge. Inner surface holes must be covered with a protective primer, which is also supplied by the manufacturer along with the material. Similarly, without the use of clamps, fiber cement siding slopes are installed.

Well, in conclusion, I want to say one thing - fiber cement facade panels are quite whimsical to install. In addition, you will not receive a manufacturer's warranty for the material if it was installed in violation of the technology, and such a warranty is at least 50 years. Therefore, you should think about this issue and entrust the installation of fiber panels to the official representatives of the manufacturer.

When building any type of building Special attention pay to the decoration of the facade, because it is its uniqueness that emphasizes appearance the buildings. Modern market filled with a wide assortment of various finishing materials, which have many colors, shades, and various textures. An excellent option for facing the facades of buildings, cottages, private houses can be a fiber cement panel.

What is this facing material

Fiber cement panel - modern artificial material, which has a multi-layer structure. Consists of cement-sand mortar, and special additives. The initial density of fiber cement depends on the volume of components such as water and air. Medium density panels are intended for small construction sites. High density products are used in large scale projects.

The panels have different textures (like a stone, and covered with protective film... Each look looks aesthetically pleasing and natural. Finished goods pass heat treatment which is produced under high pressure in special cells. This makes it possible to completely dehydrate them, which eliminates different kinds deformation in further operation.

A fiber cement panel is used for facing the facades of brick, wood, frame buildings. Average mass 1 m 2 is 16-38 kg. Installation of panels can be carried out on a metal-profile or wooden frame.

Specifications

All fiber cement facade panels have the following properties:

incombustibility;

resistance to ultraviolet rays;

low coefficient of water absorption;

corrosion resistance;

thermal insulation;

frost resistance;

noise absorption;

• light weight.

Panel dimensions

The dimensions of the facade fiber cement panels depend on the manufacturer. The thickness of the product varies from 8 to 35 mm. The width and length of the panels can be 455 x 3030, 455 x 1818, 910 x 3030 mm.

Most popular brands

On the domestic market, Japanese fiber cement panels have won the greatest popularity. Consumer feedback on technical characteristics Nichiha brand products are only positive. These are solid panels that differ high quality and huge choice textures. Natural fibers from hard rocks wood.

No less popular is the Kmew brand fiber cement panel. Products from this manufacturer have a hollow structure. Its improved performance makes the panels durable and robust. Chopped paper or cellulose is used as a filler.

The Russian facade fiber cement panels of the Rospan and Latonit brands are also in good demand. Performance indicators allow them to be used in various climatic conditions.

Domestic customer reviews about which there are very different, have strength, durability, resistance to atmospheric precipitation. Besides, they have an affordable price.

Installation of front panels

Installation of facade panels is carried out in the same way as installing siding and provides for three sequential stages of work:

preparation of walls;

installation of the frame;

installation of fiber cement panels.

Before proceeding with the installation, first of all, you should measure and prepare the walls of the house. In order to identify irregularities, it is necessary to make a geodetic survey of the facade. Further, drain pipes, platbands, window sills and other finishing elements are removed. Check for fungus or mold on the walls and repair any possible damage. After the preparatory work start to install the frame.

Like all fiber cement panels, it is mounted on vertical rails, which can be made of wood or metal profiles. The distance between the planks should be 40-60 cm. It is best to use metal structure frame. Special brackets are provided for its fastening. They are mounted vertically with a step distance of 1 m from each other, horizontally - 60 cm. At the end of the installation of the frame, a layer of vapor barrier and insulation is laid.

The final stage is the installation of panels. To do this, first install starting bar, on which the first row will be based. Its width should correspond to the thickness of the panel. Installation of plates is carried out from the bottom up. The method of fastening the panels depends on their thickness. Thin products of 14 mm can be fastened with self-tapping screws, and 18 mm thick - with special clamps. The joints between the plates are sealed with a sealant. The panels are cut with a specialized power tool.

A well-made facade finish with fiber cement panels imitating stone, brick or wood will give the house a beautiful appearance that will delight you for many years.

Fiber cement panel (slab) Is modern, practical and environmentally friendly facing material, consisting of lightweight concrete with synthetic fiber. The outer ceramic layer of the slab has different textures and colors.

Decorative fiber cement panels qualitatively imitate a variety of materials: stone, rock surfaces, tiles, bricks, plastering and much more. Combinations different surfaces, sizes and colors of the slabs allow the building to fit into any architectural ensemble. Fiber cement slabs are used in the decoration of facades of individual cottages, residential and public buildings, shopping and business centers.

Thanks to a special application technology, paint on fiber panels does not change color, does not fade or crack over time.

Nichiha panels have all the necessary permissive documentation: technical certificate, fire certificate, sanitary and epidemiological conclusion, SGR (certificate of state registration).

In addition to the above, Nichikha panels have all the main advantages of fiber cement boards, which you can learn more about in the next section.

You can see the types of Nichikha fiber cement panels and their prices on our special website.

Advantages of fiber cement boards:

The main advantages of fiber cement panels include:

• strength;
• easy installation of fiber cement boards;
• resistance to any aggressive environmental factors;
• frost resistance (about 100 cycles);
• durability;
• incombustibility;
• high-quality sound insulation;
• high decorativeness;
• affordable price of fiber cement panels.

Fiber cement panels can be used for interior decoration and exterior cladding of buildings in any climatic conditions. Their high strength allows them to be used both on the facade and on the basement of buildings. The cladding of the ventilated facade made of fiber cement panels practically excludes the ingress of rainwater under the decorative screen, which significantly extends the service life of the metal subsystem, load-bearing walls and enclosing structures.

Installation of fiber cement panels

Wall fiber panels are installed as a ventilated facade or are decorative cladding in timber frame walls.

On those panels that are fastened with self-tapping screws to the frame racks prefabricated house(14 mm thick), the caps of the screws are covered with a special paint to match the panel, making them invisible. Fiber cement facade panels are mounted on wood or metal carcass with a step of not more than 600 mm with a ventilated gap of 40 mm thickness (for a ventilated facade), but not less than 15 mm (for frame walls).

A gap of 10 ± 1 mm is left between adjacent panels vertically, followed by filling the joint with a sealant matched to the color of the panels.

Plates with a thickness of 16 mm or more are attached to the supporting frame using clamps (elements of invisible fastening of fiber cement panels). The clamps are completely hidden by special locks, as a result of which neither the horizontal seams between the plates, nor the clamps themselves are completely visible.

Fiber cement board finishing accessories

Facade fiber plates are installed with the same components as metal siding, facade cassettes and panels: decorative corner strips, starting and finishing strips, corner elements, sealants and correction dyes, dividing strips, clamps. Especially for fiber panels, only the terminal strip is used. The accessories make it easier to install fiber cement panels.

You can buy fiber cement panels for exterior decoration of the house and pay for the goods in any way convenient for you.
