The temperature at your dacha all the time holds below normal? Then it is worth thinking about its insulation, while maintaining a beautiful appearance. To do this, you can use the so -called “warm” siding, installation (instructions, video attached) of which is described in this article. The material presented in it will help you better understand how to properly install siding with insulation. It doesn’t matter what type of house (wooden or brick) you want to warm, the scheme is one.
Siding installation technology
Cutting siding panels according to the template – video
In general, the installation of siding with insulation with us is not so common, but soon, according to experts, this situation will radically change. And everything is connected with the variable Russian climate, which has recently been very cold and harsh frosts. That is why the installation of insulation for siding is a great way to bring heat to your house with almost unnecessary costs. The most commonly used material is polyurethane foam, however, in stores you can purchase specialized panels, already insulated, which will be much faster.
We can say that the installation scheme of siding along with insulation material is practically no different from simple facing work. So, nails and screws will be attached to the center of the holes made, leaving the gaps. The most important difference in this work is that you can not create a crate under the panel, you see, this will significantly save time.
In this case, we will deal with a hinged and insulated facade. Here we will replace it with continuous sheathing, it is advisable to use only a waterproof plywood. Of course, someone still makes the crate, but in this case you will need to fill it with the help of insulation-this is necessary in order to eliminate air gaps. If you do not remove them, then there is no sense in the insulation, since the heat will still go through them all the same, as if you had sheathed the house with simple panels.

It is worth noting that the profiles of such a “warm” material will be a little thicker than ordinary, and therefore a little different profiles go to it. You, of course, can purchase and simple, but then you will have to tinker a little, cutting the insulation in the joints.
In addition, it is also harder, and therefore you still have to follow important rules for fasteners. The fact that all holes have specialized designations with letters are pleased, which greatly facilitates all calculations. That is why drive nails with a hammer strictly on them, otherwise you can violate the technology of work. You will easily find how the installation of siding is carried out in the pictures on the same Internet that it will greatly help you carry out all the necessary work as accurately and more competent as possible
The panels themselves need to join the “overlap”, while you do not need to measure anything here, unlike working with ordinary material. You need to shift them until the insulation closes. Do not forget to purchase more massive nails, since there are much more holes in the panels, it is also not advisable to use brackets.
Do not forget: it is better to install fasteners with a gap of one millimeter – this will serve as an obstacle to the movement of siding, which can be caused by temperature fluctuations.
How to mount siding – recommendations and important tips
Despite the fact that there are no differences from simple facing works with panels, as we have already said above, you must remember some of our recommendations that will greatly facilitate all the necessary work to you.
So, having decided to create a crate for “siding”, make it more, especially in those places where they adjoin the profiles. It is impossible to replace the corner profiles with ordinary ones, since in this case the so -called “cold bridges” may occur, which will reduce the “no” all the difficulties of the installation. The internal profile may be simple, but it must be aligned in the thickness that the profile itself has. The panels should also be adjacent to each other in the most dense way, and this will directly depend on how the material is cut correctly. The exception is only a J – profile, which is already quite wide.
In general, you can easily on your own to install siding, whose video is posted on our website. True, it is advisable to purchase high -quality siding panels and other “spare parts”, including material for wall insulation, otherwise, the house will still be cool and damp in the house, and you will in vain spend money on the purchase of tools and materials.
Now you know how to correctly mount siding in order to make the house warm. However, if there is no way to do all the work yourself, just call the masters – several people will spend this work in just a couple of days.
