The technology of insulation of facades of houses in the “wet” method can be used for all types of surfaces, with the exception of wooden walls. This design of the facade received its definition due to the fact that when using it, aqueous solutions, primer, paint and putty are used. Wet facades serve as an effective thermal protection of the building, giving the opportunity to the owner of the house to seriously reduce heat supply costs.
Wet facade technologies provide ample opportunities for the implementation of design ideas for decorating external walls. The use of insulation materials reliably protects the internal structures of the building from the penetration of atmospheric moisture and precipitation. Possessing an anti -corrosion property, the wet facade prevents the premature mechanical destruction of the external walls. Such external waterproofing and insulation make the house more comfortable for living under any temperature conditions and adverse weather conditions.
Installation of a wet facade should occur at a plus temperature and lack of precipitation. If weather conditions are unstable, then construction forests should be built, covered with a special film, which will provide a reliable heat circuit.
Before starting work, the outer walls must be completely cleaned of crumbling coatings. All existing cracks are put down and aligned. Then, polystyrene or mineral wool building slabs are mounted on a prepared dry surface of the outer walls. These plates are used for thermal insulation. The former are the most budget option. However, mineral wool plates have the best technological characteristics and are more durable.
Typically, mineral wool structures are made of basalt or diabase, which are not susceptible to moisture permeability. The entire design of this cladding provides for the creation of optimal conditions to prevent moisture from entering the structure of the wet facade.
After the installation of the insulation layer, the finish is made. To do this, a reinforced layer in the form of a fiberglass grid is attached to the plates. It is he who provides the necessary stability of the facade to all natural and mechanical influences. A plaster is applied on the outer surface of the reinforcing layer for subsequent painting or facing work. Wet facade technology is the best solution when choosing various options for finishing a country house.
