Coating or wallcovering is a protective material attached to the outer wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, forming the first line of defense against the elements, the most important sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable and more comfortable environment on the interior. Materials and styles of siding can also enhance or reduce the beauty of buildings. There is an enormous variety of materials, both natural and artificial, each with its own benefits and shortcomings. Such stone walls do not require wallcovering, but any walls can be sided. Internally framed walls, whether with wood, or steel beams, should always take sides.
Most siding consists of pieces of weatherproof material that is smaller than the walls they cover, to allow expansion and contraction of materials due to changes in humidity and temperature. There are different styles of joining pieces, from boards and battons, where the butt joints between the panels are covered with thin strips (usually 1 to 2 inches wide) of wood, to various walled boards, also called lap siding, where boards are placed horizontally on the wall starting from the bottom, and building, the board underneath it overlaps with a board on it. This carpentry technique is designed to prevent water from entering the wall. The side that does not consist of uniform pieces will include plastering, which is widely used in the Southwest. It is plastered like a plaster and applied over a lattice, like a plaster. However, due to lack of joints, it eventually cracks and is susceptible to water damage. Rainscreen constructs are used to enhance the ability to keep the walls dry.

Throwing view
Straw is an ancient building material and very widely used on roofs and walls. Throw sides are made with dry vegetation such as longstraw, reed water, or combed reed rye. The materials are overlapping and plaited with patterns designed to deflect and direct the water.

Wood siding
Wood siding is versatile in style and can be used on a wide variety of building structures. Can be painted or colored in any desired color palette.
While installation and repair are relatively simple, carving requires more maintenance than other popular solutions, requiring maintenance every four to nine years, depending on the severity of the affected elements. Ants and termites are a threat to many types of wooden planks, such as extra maintenance and maintenance that can significantly increase costs in some affected areas.
Wood is an adequate and biodegradable renewable resource. However, most of the paint and stains used to treat wood are not environmentally friendly and can be toxic. Wood siding can provide some small insulation and structural properties compared to thinner cladding materials.
Shingles
The wooden flush or the irregular "rocking" cedar layer was used at the beginning of New England construction, and was revived in Shingle style and Queen Anne style architecture at the end of the 19th century.
Clapboards
The wood side in the overlapping horizontal row or "course" is called a clapboard, weatherboard (English English), or a sloped sidewall made with a sloping, thin board at the top edge and thick on the buttocks.
In colonial North America, Eastern white pine is the most common material. Wood siding can also be made of rotten wood such as redwood or cedar.
Drop the coating
The jointed horizontal side (also called "drop" wallcovering or novelty side) can be coated or tongue and notched (though less common). The drop layout is present in a variety of facial surfaces, including Dutch Lap (also called German or Cove Lap) and log border (milled with curves).
Vertical board
Vertical sides may have a cover over the connections: boards and battens , which are popular in American Gothic American Carpenter homes; or less commonly behind joints called battens and boards or boards reversed and battens .
Coating wood sheets
Sheets of aligned plywood are sometimes used on cheap buildings, sometimes with grooves to mimic vertical shiplap siding. One example of a grooved plywood coating is a type called Texture 1-11 T1-11 or T111 ("tee-one-eleven"). There is also a product known as reverse board-and-batten RBB that looks similar but has a deeper path. Some of these products may be thick and rated for structural applications if tightened properly into buttons. Both T-11 and RBB sheets are fast and easy to install provided they are mounted with compatible flashing on the butt joint.
Siding stone
Slate flush may be simple in shape but many buildings with slate are very decorative siding.
Plastic separation
Wooden boards are often imitated using vinyl siding or uPVC weatherboarding. Usually produced in units twice as high as board board. Imitation plastics of wood shingles and wood shakes also exist.
Since plastic siding is a manufactured product, it may come in an unlimited choice of colors and styles. Historically vinyl sidings will fade, crack and buckle over time, requiring siding to be replaced. However, the new vinyl option has been improved and withstand better wear and tear. Vinyl coatings are sensitive to heat directly from grills, barbecue or other sources. Unlike wood, vinyl wall coatings do not provide additional insulation for buildings, unless the insulating material (eg foam) has been added to the product. It has also been criticized by some fire safety experts because of its heat sensitivity. This sensitivity makes it easy for house fires to jump into neighboring homes compared to materials such as bricks, metal or stone.
Vinyl wallcoverings have potential environmental costs. While vinyl siding can be recycled, it can not be burned (because of the toxic gas dioxin to be released). If disposed of in landfills, plastic siding is not easily damaged.
Vinyl wall coatings are also considered one of the least attractive options by many. Although newer options and precise installs can eliminate these complaints, vinyl coatings often have multiple lines visible between panels and generally do not have the quality of wood, brick, or masonry look. Faded and cracked older types of plastic coating compounds this problem. In many areas of new housing development, especially in North America, the entire environment is often built with all vinyl-covered homes, given uninteresting uniformity. Several cities are now campaigning for home developers to integrate different types of coatings during construction.
Imitation or asphalt-mason coating
Introduction to modern care-free sidings is to side with asphalt brick. The asphalted panel is impregnated (about 2 feet by 4 feet) giving a brick or even stone look. Many of these siding buildings, especially old warehouses and garages. If the panels are straight and parallel and undamaged, the only indication that they are not the original bricks can be seen in the corner cap. Trademark names include Insulbrick, Insulstone, Insulwood. Commonly used names now are artificial bricks, licking and sticking bricks, and ghetto bricks. Often such siding is now covered with new metal or plastic sides. Today thin panels of genuine bricks are produced for veneers or wallcoverings.
Insulated coating
The isolated side has emerged as a new alignment category in recent years. Considered as an improvement of vinyl siding, custom siding is customary with an expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) that blends into the back of the upholstery, which fills the gap between the house and the side.
Products provide environmental benefits by reducing energy use by up to 20 percent. On average, isolated siding products have a value of R 3.96, three times that of other exterior cladding materials. The isolated siding product is usually a quality Energy Star, engineered in accordance with environmental standards set by the US Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
In addition to reducing energy consumption, isolated siding is a durable exterior product, designed to last more than 50 years, according to the manufacturer. The foam provides stiffness for a layer that is more wind resistant and windproof, maintaining a quality display for the life of the product. Foam backing also creates a more straight line when hung, giving it a look that is more like a wooden siding, but still low maintenance.
Manufacturers report that paired layers are permeable or "breathable", allowing water vapor to escape, which can protect against rotting, mold and mildew, and help maintain healthy indoor air quality.
Metal Siding
Metal siding comes in a variety of metals, styles, and colors. It is most often associated with modern, industrial, and retro buildings. Utilitarian buildings often use a corrugated galvanized steel sheet or cladding, which often have colored vinyl finishes. Corrugated aluminum closures are also common where more durable coatings are required, while also lightweight for ease of formation and installation make it a popular metal siding option.
In the past, the imitation wooden board was made of aluminum (aluminum siding). The role is usually played by vinyl siding today. Aluminum siding is ideal for homes in coastal areas (with plenty of moisture and salt), because aluminum reacts with air to form aluminum oxide, a very hard layer that seals aluminum surfaces from further degradation. In contrast, rusted steel forms, which can weaken material structures, and corrosion-resistant layers for steel, such as zinc, sometimes fail at the edges as the years go by. However, the advantages of steel siding can be the browning, which is very good for areas with severe storms - especially if the area is prone to hail.
The first architectural application of aluminum was the installation of a small grounding cap at the Washington Monument in 1884. The iron or steel-plated slats had been patented in 1903, and Sears, Roebuck & The company has been offering embossed steel coatings in stone and brick patterns in their catalog for several years in the 1930s. ALCOA began promoting the use of aluminum in architecture in the 1920s when producing decorative spandrel panels for the Cathedral of Learning and Chrysler and the Empire State Buildings in New York. The outside of A.O. Smith Corporation Building in Milwaukee was made entirely of aluminum in 1930, and a 3-square siding panel of Duralumin sheets from ALCOA bolstered an experimental exhibit house for the Architectural League of New York in 1931. Most of the aluminum architectural applications of the 1930s were on scale which is monumental, and it will be another six years before use in residential construction.
In the first few years after World War II, manufacturers began to develop and sort the aluminum widely. Among them, the Indiana businessman, Frank Hoess, is credited with the invention of the configuration seen in modern aluminum coatings. His experiment began in 1937 with the steel side in mimicking the wooden planks. Other types of metal and steel sheets that favor the market at that time present problems with warping, creating gaps through which water can enter, introducing rust. Hoess fixes this problem through the use of a locking junction, formed by a small flap at the top of each panel that joins a U-shaped flange on the bottom edge of the previous panel to form a water-resistant horizontal layer. After he received a patent for siding in 1939, Hoess produced a small residential construction of about forty-four houses enclosed in a steel-coated style for blue-collar workers in Chicago. Its operations are limited when the war crops control the industry. In 1946, Hoess allied with Metal Building Products of Detroit, a company that promotes and sells the Hoess display of aluminum ALCOA. Their products were used on large residential projects in the northeast and purportedly preferred options for the Pennsylvania development of 1947, the first subdivision to use only aluminum siding. Products such as 4 ", 6", 8 "and 10" X 12 'aluminum panels, starter strips, angle strips and special app clips are assembled at Indiana shops of the Hoess brothers. The siding can be applied on a conventional wooden board, or it can be nailed to the button through a special clip attached to the top of each panel. Insulation is placed between each stud. While the Hoess Brothers continued to function for about twelve years after the dissolution of Metal Building Products Corporation in 1948, they were not as successful as rising companies like Reynolds Metals.
Masonry Separation
Stone and stone veneers are sometimes considered siding , varying and can accommodate a variety of styles - from formal to rough. Although masonry can be painted or stained to match with many color palettes, it is perfect for neutral earth tones, and coatings such as roughcast and pebbeldash. Masonry has excellent durability (over 100 years), and minimal maintenance is required. The main drawback to siding with stones is the initial cost.
Rainfall can threaten the structure of the building, so it is important that the siding will be able to withstand the weather conditions in the local area. For areas that receive a lot of rain, the exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) has been known to suffer from the underlying wood rot problems with excessive moisture exposure.
The environmental impact of the stone depends on the type of material used. In general, concrete and concrete-based materials are energy-intensive materials to produce. However, long durability and minimal maintenance of masonry means that less energy is needed during the siding period.
Composite coating
Various composite materials are also used for siding: bitumen asphalt, asbestos, cement fiber, aluminum (ACM), fiberboard, hardboard, etc. They may be in the form of boards or boards, in which case they are sometimes called boarded boards.
Composite sleeves are available in many styles and can emulate other siding options. The composite material is ideal for achieving certain styles or 'views' that may not fit the local environment (for example, wavy aluminum coatings in areas prone to severe storms, steel in coastal areas, wood siding in termites infested by termites).
Composite costs tend to be lower than wood options, but vary greatly as does the requirements for installation, maintenance, and repair. Not surprisingly, the durability and environmental impact of composite siding depends on the specific materials used in the manufacturing process.
The cement fiber plate is a composite siding class that is usually made of a combination of cement, cellulose (wood), sand, and water. They are either coated or painted in the factory or installed and then painted after installation. Popular fiber cement for realistic look, durability, low maintenance properties, and fire resistance. Composite coating products containing cellulose (wood fibers) have been shown to have problems with deterioration, delamination, or loss of coating attachment to a particular climate or under certain environmental conditions.
A younger class of non-wood synthetic sides has grown in the last 15 years. These products are usually made from a combination of non-wood materials such as polymer resins, fiberglass, stone, sand, and fly ash and are chosen for their durability, curb appeal, and ease of care. Given the novelty of the technology, the age of the product can only be estimated, limited variety, and sporadic distribution.
