Among abundance building material It is difficult to quickly choose the perfect, weighing all the pros and cons of any of them. Technologies are developing so quickly that building materials that were the top of perfection today, tomorrow will be outdated. Until a recent period of time, the builder had to implement a certain sequence of actions. After the walls of the walls, insulation was carried out, and then decoration. The trim of the facade of the house by thermopanels allows you to save time and perform two operations in one pass. Moreover, appearance It will not be implemented by reducing heat loss. It is worth the heater of the selection, will determine the material of this article.
It becomes clear from the name that the main emphasis is made not only for the appearance, but also to ensure the thermal insulation of the treated surface. This is achieved due to the material used. The foamed polystyrene or polyurethane can be foaming as a sealing layer. The second in its high-quality and strength characteristics is ahead of the foam. But it is worth considering that the cost of such a product will be somewhat higher.
The thickness of the layer is selected in such a way that the dew point is shifted in about middle line insulation. Thus, the issue of the appearance and development of mold is solved, and the service life of the finishing is significantly extended. No organization of ventilation gaps is required. In addition, diffusion processes flow freely. The substrate for panels in some species is a moisture-resistant OSB sheet. He performs the stabilizer and the basis for the entire design. It is also enough to simply process and secure on a concrete or brick plane.
A pleasant appearance is provided by beautiful facing. Its color may be submitted according to the wishes or instructions of the customer. The decorative layer is resistant to physical influences, so it is difficult to damage. It is manufactured by a single or multiple firing method. Pigments and additives have already been added to the mixture. Thanks to this, the color is simply impossible to wash with rainwater or other effects. The front part is molded by the press or extrusion method, so the plane can be not only smooth, but also with a certain pattern, which, for example, imitates a natural stone.
The design of some species also includes a foil layer. Its main task is to ensure vapor barrier, as well as the reflection of heat that is directed from the room to the street.
The key point that facilitates the installation is the locking mechanism. It is so well thought out, it turned out and fitted that everything is going as a designer. Separate elements are not just jacking, but attached with a small overlay (if the spike-groove compound is provided). Such an approach is possible to eliminate cold bridges, which inevitably occur at the first variant. Even oblique rain is not able to force the water to leak in the middle.
Do not worry that some investments will be required at this stage. The fact is that heat losses in the heating season can be reduced almost twice, and this will affect the amount of accounts. Besides, in summer period Insulation works on the principle of thermos. If in the evening, run cool air, then it will be maintained throughout the day. And this means that the air conditioner will have much less frequently. Payback will not make himself wait.
The user is not limited in choosing from affordable subspecies. In addition to the insulation layer, the differences relate to the cladding used.
Glazed ceramics. It is a continuation of fashion, which goes back to the second half of the 20th century, when at home and other buildings began to fold tiles. Pluses of such a solution is smooth surfacewhich has a glossy coating. In addition, it is very easy to clean, so if the building is close to the road, it can always be washed under the pressure of water from the hose. Service life is very long and proper care Can reach more than 50 years.
Porcelain tile. In terms of its characteristics, it is many times the usual ceramic. This is connected with the method of its manufacture. Although the components of the materials perform all the same components (field split, clay, kaolin, quartz sand), but they burn it at temperatures up to 1300 ° C. At the same time, it is exposed to press up to 500 kg. This approach makes it possible to accomplish the diffusion process that the powders are melted among themselves. All empties are eliminated and a high-quality monolith is obtained. Thanks to this, the moisture is simply not able to leak into the inside. Which means that even in winter time Tile will not burst when the temperature drops. The strength is so high that exceeds some types of indicators natural stone.
In appearance, it is optionally completed in the form of facing bricks. It may be much larger, which simplifies the installation of such panels. Care is practically no need. Even ultraviolet will not be a hindrance, so the tile on the sunny side will not differ with a tint. For selection, a large number of different variations of colors and forms is available.
Clinker tile. In terms of its characteristics, it is largely similar to the previous view. It is absolutely eco-friendly, because produced from natural clay. No artificial chemical impurities or additives are applied. Initially, it was used not only for the construction of houses, but also for paving roads. This suggests that it has sufficient strength and resistance to greater weight. The production method includes a single firing at high temperature values. Quartz, which is included in its composition, melts and closes all the pores, through which water could be seamless. The surface is very smooth.
The product simulates the facing brick that the usual person is quite difficult to distinguish it. Resistance to scratches - a huge plus. Do not have to be afraid that, taped the surface with any object, you can harm it. The tile of this kind is withstanding more than 300 cycles of complete freezing and thawing. This indicator is very important for those regions, where in the winter time the temperature can reach large negative values. In addition, the clinker is an additional layer of noise insulation plus to the insulation.
In addition to the facing material, it can differ both as an applied substrate and the insulation itself.
Allocate:
Summing up, you can highlight the positive aspects of the use of thermopanels when performing finishing and insulation:
Of the inherent flaws, such:
As can be seen, there are very few minuses. The panels took their niche and the direction continues to develop towards the improvement of the components and the final result.
Among the described abundance is easy to get lost. But there are basic nuances that will allow you to choose an option that will be ideal for a particular project.
First of all, it is necessary to decide on the type of panels that I would like to see on the facade of your own home. This includes the type of substrate, the variant of the insulation, as well as the facing material.
In appearance, pick what you personally like. After all, it is you will look at the end result every day.
If you set a goal, you can independently make thermopanels. This is relevant in the case when all options were considered, but none of the proposed approached. For the whole process, such components will be needed:
First of all, you need to build a press. Its dimensions should be so that one or more of the insulation sheets can be placed freely. A workbench or table can be played in his role. Followed by:
In the case of such an approach, it will be possible to partially save on a common ultimate amount, as well as create a unique design. Product strength is high. The fact is that glue penetrates the insulator to the depth of almost 1 cm, so it is possible to tear it only with a part of the foam. In addition, the repair of homemade plates is many times easier than the factory. Of the shortcomings, you can allocate the need for a large number of time that will be prepared.
The installation process will not cause difficulties even with newcomers in construction business. For the successful passage of all stages, it is important to have minimal skills to work with a perforator and level. All are allocated two ways to be installed:
To solve the first task, such tools will be needed:
The whole process begins with the insulation of the base. If you leave it without isolation, then because of the wing bridge, the whole wall will freeze.
Installation with the installation of the frame has a lot of general moments, but there are also their nuances. Tools will require the same as in the previous case.
Try to experiment a little by adding a certain highlight to a common exterior. For example, one strip in the middle of the wall can be issued by the base panels. It looks always very impressive. Holding in the head the basic principles that are used in the insulation of the facade of thermopanels, you can achieve the desired result.
The videotage shows the thermochange of thermocouples thermal obverse with clinker tiles:
And below - the installation of thermopanel Termosit:
Facing the facades of houses by thermopanels, with full right can be considered the most convenient finishing option. There are, of course, many other species facade panelshaving undoubted aesthetic and operational advantages, but only thermopanels can boast the presence of a warming layer, and a natural, and not imitating, front surface.
In this article we will tell about what characteristics the thermopanels have for cladding walls, instructions on their installation will also be proposed to your attention.
Thermopanels are a composite modular material consisting of a rigid base (OSB plates), polymer insulation and facial layer from clinker or stone tiles. As a thermal insulation layer, or polyurethane foam (PPU) or polystyrene foam (PPP) can be used in the manufacture of this material.
So:
The large size of the panels, and on average it is 1150 * 600 mm, will significantly speed up the process of outdoor decoration of the building. In addition, the facing of the house of the thermopanels will save from the need to mount the insulation, and, accordingly, it helps to reduce the total cost of construction.
Immediately, let's say that the installation of cladding elements, in this case, can be carried out in two ways: straight to the wall, and on the frame. That is why, facing the facade of thermopanels, as an option for finishing the outer walls, is excellent not only for concrete and brick, but also for wooden, as well as frame-panel houses.
So:
Each next row begins to mount only after the previous one is completely completed.. If the panel's sides are connected using a zigzag castle, then the comb is inserted into the groove on top and above.
At the end of the installation, the seams decorated with grouting just as if it were tiled facing.
If it is decided to warm the walls, then, firstly, it is necessary to do outdoor insulation, and not internal so that the "dew point" (the temperature of the material in which steam condenses into water) did not turn out in the insulation. Secondly, you should calculate the necessary layer of insulation, which can keep heat inside the room. And, thirdly, you need to take care of protection and wooden wall, and insulation from external temperature and natural impacts (precipitation).
Exist different variants Finishes at home - from siding and plaster to facing with brick or tiled under the brick. This is a rather laborious process, since you need to first strengthen the insulation on the walls of the house (the more severely, which is softer), and then on it or with the help of an additional crate to strip it with finishing material.
In the world, everything will be enhanced and the processes are given to the optimum at cost and attached efforts. Thus, thermopanels were invented for wooden housethat significantly facilitate the process of cladding the house with its simultaneous insulation.
It is clear that the "Thermopanel" combines the insulation and the finish with high operational qualities and seeks to create a solid, actually monolithic surface of the wall.
Thermopanels as facing material were invented in Germany about 80 years ago. For the insulation layer, polyurethane foam and polystyrene foam were elected.
Polyurethane foam (PPU) - foam rubber, but hard-type, with t. N. The "closed cellular structure", from the group of gas-filled plastics obtained from organic substances (petrochemical products and substances obtained from oils: rapeseed, soy, sunflower). It has a high adhesion coefficient (adhesion to the surface), the density of 70 kg / m³, which has high heat and noise insulation and does not let moisture, although almost does not miss steam.
Polystyrene foam (PPS) - a gas-filled styrene (initially produced from oil and stone coal) with additives: plasticizers, dyes and antipirens, is a cellular granules, the above-talked, the higher the strength of the material and below its water absorption, air and and Parry permeability. Withstands the temperature from -40 to +40 ° C, has a service life from 60 to 80 years.
For the finishing layer, clinker and ceramic tiles and cement-sandy stone are used. The clinker tile is the highest quality view of the coating, because it is a material that almost does not absorb moisture, dense and frost-resistant. German thermopanels with clinker tiles for a wooden house - the highest quality material of this type. It is now developed by its cheaper counterparts, where both the finish and the insulation perform the same function, but are made of more affordable materials.
The classic lining of the wooden house by thermopanels occurs with the help of panels: polyurethane foam clinker tiles.
Since the appearance of houses built from brick causes persistent sympathies from developers, the finishes are trying to create materials similar to brickwork. But it must be admitted that the brick has low thermal conductivity, so to protect the heat in the room, the wall of the brick should be a meter width, which is inconvenient due to the large consumption of materials and the load on the foundation. In addition, only double firing brick - clinker - has a sufficiently low water absorption and strength of the facing material. Wrap the whole house with clinker brick - wasteful.
Therefore, the clinker tile, the repeating brick (with a thickness of 30-40 mm) is an economical option of the facade finish. And if adding a heater, which in its properties is just able to replace 1 m brick masonry (With a width of 70-80 mm), it is clear that the thermopanel is the perfect finishing material. His only drawback is quite a high price.
In an attempt to eliminate this shortcoming, cheaper analogues were developed, where polyurethane foam is replaced with a foam (the thickness of which can vary from 50 to 200 mm), and the clinker - on the tile made from the cement-sand mixture, which, due to dyes, can imitate different types Wild stone.
Also, there are facade thermopanels on the market, consisting of a rigid base from OSB (osp-oriented-chipboard), polyurethane foam insulation and an outer layer, material. The case may vary (porcelain tiles, glazed ceramics, clinker tiles). This variant of thermopanels differs from the other more rigid base, but due to it, its vapor permeability is significantly reduced.
Another kind of budget thermopadals: artificial stone, clicked into polyurethane foam and processed with water-repellent impregnation, with a total thickness of 70 mm.
The outer decoration of the wooden house with thermopanels is made using three types of panels: ordinary, volunteer and angular, which have a total size, respectively, 700x1145, 700x645 and 700x245 and 700x265 (mm). At the same time, the size of the "brick" repeats the size of the real brick: 250x65 mm.
The exterior decoration of the wooden house by thermopanels implies a solid connection of the panels with each other with the help of the castle of the type "spike-groove". For this, on the one hand, an additional layer of insulation remains, and on the other hand, the protruding parts of the tiles, "traveling" to the insulation.
The thickness of the panels varies, depending on the manufacturer. For example, there may be thermopanels with a total thickness:
and with a tile and insulation thickness, respectively:
Finishing facades wooden houses Thermopanels occurs, depending on the state of the base, in two ways:
The insulation of a wooden house with thermopanels also involves filling the joints between the panels needed to complete the sealing of the walls. To do this, use silicone sealant, which is carefully applied in places of docking panels.
Installation begins with the strengthening of the guide profile and takes up upwards. Corners are trimmed with special angular elements, slopes of windows and doors - with the help of elements intended for them. If necessary, the panel can be cut along the seams between the tiles.
Thermopanel is just the case when combined "beautiful" and "necessary." This is another solution for energy efficient housesAs well, for those whose budget does not contain overpays for electricity, since the thermopanel provides excellent thermal insulation and such thermopanels with a tile give the facade a rather respectable look.
They consist of an actual insulation layer, which uses polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam, the composition of which by more than 90% of percent is air, and artificial stone, and clinker, porcelain, glazed ceramics are used as a decorative layer.
Recently, polyurethane foam, due to its higher indicators, is used more often than expanded polystyrene. Although polystyrene foam is very popular in the USA, Canada and Western European countries. It is completely safe for human health, because it is made even packaging for food.
It also does not create a favorable environment for the vital activity of fungi and microorganisms, since moisture does not penetrate there. It does not have a caustic smell. It's durable and durable. Due to experiments, it was found that the period of its complete destruction is 250 years.
Facade thermopanels have many options design solutions, and more and more often used when finishing homes. Their diversity is so big that it is possible to choose that the soul wishes, given the tastes of even the most capricious client. Natural shades and textures allow you to harmoniously enter the house to any surrounding landscape.
Today, construction stores offer products of different manufacturers and brands:
Facade thermopanels with tiles are released with different sizes and varying structures. You can also find them as with insulation, and without it.
Therefore, there are several ways to fasten them:
The last method of fastening is suitable for uneven walls.
Molds of Form I. color solutions For facade thermopanels, it may initially even confuse, because a large selection, as a rule, causes long thinking. Among such a wide range can always be found something suitable. The facade thermopanels look more than aesthetically, as well as monolithically and neatly.
Facade thermopanels can have a decorative layer in the form of a smooth tile, textured and even with aged. The latter, in turn, has a very presentable and unusual appearance. She will qualitatively imitates the old brickwork, which can very often be found in Holland, the western part of Germany, and in some other European countries. Immediately I must say that the thermal floors with such a tile - the pleasure is not cheap, but the exclusive appearance is worth it. Such a choice for their homes, as a rule, make wealthy people.
So called the panels, where clinker tiles are used as a decorative layer. According to the degree of resistance to the environment, the clinker exceeds even some species of natural stone. It has a practically impeccable look and many natural color options. The shale clay is served by the raw material, which is mined today in North-West Europe. Therefore, the clinker is 100-% natural material obtained without the use of chemical additives by high-temperature firing.
Unlike some species of natural stone, which, by strength, can be compared with clinker, it does not "phonite." Its grade of strength is M 800, and the water absorption indicator is quite low - only 2-3% by weight. Thanks to this, the clinker can be said that he is highly frost and is able to maintain its characteristics for more than 300 cycles.
In addition to its thermal insulation and aesthetic functions, clinker thermopanels still act as a noise insulator, and as an additional hydraulic protection.
Apply them today not only as insulation and facade decor, but also for internal work. And also used for finishing fountains, pools and other large and small tanks where water should be.
The clinker has a very noble appearance by which many can easily distinguish it. Such a beautiful external effect and characteristics are obtained by special technology in production.
Installation of clinker facade panels can be carried out at any time of the year.
Porcelain stoneware is another type of ceramic tile produced from high-quality raw materials by applying new technologies that expose it. high temperatures firing and pressure. As a result, the material is obtained, compressed so much that no environmental impacts are terrible. In these indicators, he surpasses a natural natural stone. 
This is another kind of thermopanel, especially popular, especially for finishing low-rise buildings. This method was very popular in the 60s. last century. And since those times, the coating of the glazed tile has been perfectly proven. The glazed tile has a smooth surface and inhomogeneity of the color, which gives the facade a noble view by imitating brickwork.
Great view, simplicity of installation, excellent characteristics and minimum deficiencies ensured the thermoclases of increasing popularity.
Increasingly, the owners of the houses are chosen for the external cladding of modern, high-quality and convenient material - facade thermopanels. This species Facing perfectly keeps heat that in our latitudes is very important. And externally facade thermopanels are able to give a noble respectable appearance to any building, even built in the last century.
Like many other newest construction and finishing materials, these panels came to us from the West, and initially in stores it was possible to find only the products of German, Canadian and other companies. But now, our country can offer a completely competitive product, high quality and externally different from the best Western samples. The article will pay attention to the thermophal russian production, we learn their characteristics, features, advantages, and we will define prices.
Facade thermopanels are a facing plate, which is a "sandwich" from the upper decorative layer and thermal insulation material. Usually, the latter is either polystyrene foam, or mineral wool. It should be noted that the thickness of the heat-insulating gasket may vary from 30 to 100 mm, which affects the heat-saving properties of the material.
Decorative external coating, as a rule, is a brickwork from ordinary or glazed elements. The thickness of the outer layer is about 12 mm, so that the entire stove becomes durable, reliable, and is able to serve a long time. Also, more expensive and solid imitation of natural stone is still applied.
Thermopanels are intended for implementation exterior decoration buildings simultaneously with their thermal insulation. Thus, the material kills the "two hares" immediately: and decorate, and heats. A very advantageous combination that allows you to save on additional thermal insulation.
But how used decorative plaster For outdoor work, and how to apply it correctly. can see
On the video - facade thermopanels:
Facade thermopanels are usually used for lining of small private houses. However, this modern technological and eco-friendly material can be used for finishing high-rise buildings.
We learn what kind of varieties of facade thermopadals are represented on the modern Russian construction market.
So, all thermopanels intended for facing facades are divided into:
Clinker thermopanels are a combination of clinker tiles, resembling an externally brickwork and thermal insulating polyurethane foam layer. This material is suitable for lining even wooden houses. Sometimes manufacturers are trying to make this product cheaper and affordable, in connection with which the polyurethane is replaced by cheap foam, and the clinker tiles is cement-sand. However, the result is a deterioration of both insulating and external indicators.
Rigid facade thermopanels are an OSB plate on which the insulation layer is applied, and both the final barcode is an outer decorative layer.
But what does the facing artificial stone look like for the facade, and how to apply it correctly. can see
In this case, the following types of materials are used to create decorative cladding:
This type of panels has a tough basis, due to which manufacturers have managed to reduce the vapor permeability of the final product.
The price of rigid thermopanels, first of all, depends on the type of cladding, which is used. Thus, the clinker is obtained by the cheapest type of finishing, but also less presentable, and the glazed tile and porcelain stoneware - expensive, but also more aesthetically attractive.
Both considered species enjoy well-deserved success in the building materials market, as they perfectly hold warm and wonderfully transform the external facade of the building.
What advantages are available in facade thermopanels compared to other species thermal insulation materials, learn.
As already mentioned this material - a unique product, which is also thermal insulation, and external decorative coating. The panels are very well kept warm, therefore the use of them in our latitudes is very justified.
Modern manufacturers in Russia offer such a wide range of external decoration of thermopadals, which is not impossible to choose. On the market are presented in a wide range of various colors and textures suitable for any design. Also worth paying their attention to how
Facade thermopanels made by domestic producers are perfectly opposed to the harsh climate of our country: Siberian frost is fulfilled safely, and dry southern summer.
The price of the material is quite accessible: due to the fact that there are no monopolists in this market, the buyer always has the opportunity to choose suitable combination Quality panels and their prices.
Products are distinguished by high strength, which ensures the durability and stability stainlessness to sediments and other external influences.
Installation of facade thermopanels is quite simple. For this, it is not necessary to even invite specialists: the owner of the house itself may well carry out stacking.
Panels are remarkably held heat, so that even in the house cold Winter There will be a comfortable microclimate.
But what are the facade materials for outdoor finishing at home, and which of them are the best, you can see
A little bit about the disadvantages of the material.
In order to securely and competently implement the installation of facade thermopanels, it is necessary to first align and prepare the walls of the house. This forced need sometimes takes up a lot of time, takes a lot of strength.
There is a risk of "running" on poor-quality products, since new "players", often rendered by "one-day" constantly appear on the building materials market. In order not to have such trouble, we advise you to navigate the well-known manufacturers, and acquire materials in proven stores. For example, you may well trust our list of Russian companies - manufacturers of facade thermopadals.
Not available cost is another minus. However, invested once in high-quality material, you for many years will provide your home with reliable thermal insulation, and give the building an external presentable and solid look.
But what the panels from polyvinyl chloride look like, and how to use them correctly, you can learn from the article by
It is not afraid of chemicals, it is distinguished by fair wear resistance, durable, not afraid of dirt. In addition, precipitation is not terrible pellery.

It has the same positive features as porcelain stoneware, however, is characterized by less durability.
Ceramics
This type of facing is not suitable for a changeable climate, as concrete absorbs moisture too much, which is fraught with cracking of the material, if drought starts after precipitation immediately. But more expensive models have moisture protection coating. But than to separate the facade of the house from a firefoot, and which material it is worth applying first, indicated
