How to shepherd fronton siding

Plugging of the frontone siding allows you to insulate the attic and give the house an attractive look. Correct calculations and skillful use of challenges will help you cope with this task.

There are several ways to mount siding:

On the wooden fronton of the siding panel is allowed to be secured without a framework. Such a way will deprive you the capabilities of the insulation device of the attic.
The framework device allows you to perform waterproofing, pave a layer of insulation and ensure the necessary fondon ventilation. For mounting, the crates use a wooden bar or galvanized aluminum profile. According to the cost, the metal frame will cost you more, but it will serve much longer than a wooden one.
The adhesive method of mounting siding on the positive facades contradicts all the rules of work with this material. Sturdy fixation of panels will lead to their deformation at temperature differences.

In this article, we will look at the method of covering the frontone by siding on a metal frame using components and challenges.

In addition to the siding facing panels, you will need:

The use of the coil plank is necessary with any method of placing the frontonone.

When installing panels, do not twist the screws until you stop, leave the gap 0.8-1.5 mm. Fastening Place the perforation center so that the panel is able to move freely. Unacceptable fastening through the panel. Under the influence of sunlight, siding is heated and increased in length, according to the expansion ratio. If the fastening is hard - the panel is deformed and "will go by waves". This will lead not only to the worsening of the appearance, but also to cracking the material.

For the same reason, it is necessary to leave a gap between the edge of the panel and the profile of 8-10 mm.

Compliance with technology and the order of work on the work on the trunk of Fronton Siding will provide high-quality performance. Do not forget that siding is fragile material.
