If you want your house to look beautiful, solid and elegant, and at the same time not require repairs for a long time, then it is important to take care of good cladding of the building. At the same time, high-quality, durable and unusual finishing does not always require large labor costs and impressive cash injections. In particular, the modern market offers such innovative products as façade panels imitated stone, brick or wood, which so reliably imitate these materials that they can only be distinguished from natural ones upon closer examination.
Also important is the fact that the panels can be installed with your own hands. Next, we’ll talk in detail about the varieties and features. basement siding, paying Special attention"stone" options.
Let's look at the most popular options that help create an interesting visualization of masonry, incl. such textures as wild stone, rock, slate.
PVC or vinyl
They are based on various polymers, to which coloring, modifying and stabilizing substances are added, resulting in options of a wide variety of colors and textures.
Advantages of plastic panels:
- fireproof;
- water resistant;
- Fade resistant;
- have little weight;
- easy to install and maintain;
- inexpensive.
Weaknesses of the material:
- release toxic gases in case of fire;
- become brittle in the cold.

Fiber cement panels
They are made from sand and cement with the addition of cellulose and mineral fiber as follows: cement mortar it is poured onto a reinforcing frame made of cellulose, synthetics or fiberglass, and the outside of the slab is coated with acrylic. Due to the high cement content, the panel is quite hard. Some manufacturers add mica and quartz sand, which increases the strength and durability of the products. And in order for them to be resistant to ultraviolet radiation and precipitation, a varnish coating is applied to them. Also, the use of high-quality dyes and varnishes creates unique textures and colors of surfaces.

Installation
Step-by-step instructions for finishing a house with fiber cement panels
We will need tools such as:
- Bulgarian;
- screwdriver;
- self-tapping screws;
- level.
Prices for angle grinders (grinders)
Angle grinders (grinders)
Panels come with an evenly cut edge, and there are panels with tongue-and-groove locks. Kits for facades are completed with the same elements as siding: corners, extensions, platbands, starting and finishing strips.
Important point! Some brands already have special ones for fastening panels clamps, while others will have to drill holes for roofing screws during installation.
Finishing frame house with vertical posts
- We lay insulation between the studs.
- We fix the base flashing element to protect our base. Almost every manufacturer offers this element complete with fiber cement panels.
- Then we install a hydro-wind protective membrane, making overlaps at the corners from 100 to 150 mm, we fasten them using a special stapler.
- We install clamps at the corner, onto the tongues of which we attach the corner element. As for the internal corner, there is a special internal seal that is placed directly into the corner, sealing on both sides.
- Then we place the first panel and attach it to the posts using clamps. If there is no tongue-and-groove system between the corner element and the panel, a seam seal is installed. There is an insulator on the panels. When there is a connection between panels and panels, the panels will be waterproofed through this insulator.
- Then we strengthen the second panel. Again, if there is no tongue-and-groove system, the beginning of the panel is strengthened using clamps, which are attached at the beginning and end of each panel, as well as to vertical posts sheathings. A special seam seal is placed between each panel. If there is a tongue-and-groove system, then a clamp is installed on top in the center of the joint, which will hold two panels at once.
- As for the window opening, before installing the panel, a special strip is placed under the window, which is also necessary for air circulation. It should be the same in thickness as the clamps. We install a seam seal on the sides of the windows, and above the window - a seam seal and a ventilation strip, as well as under the window. A window sill seal with a tail is also attached to drain water if condensation gets in. The panel is installed.
- To finish the top of the wall, a vent strip is installed on top. The panel holder is placed on the ventilation strip and the finishing panels are installed.
Installation of panels on wooden sheathing.
Important! There must be a gap between the horizontal bar under the window and the vertical bar of at least 30 mm. This is done for better air movement.
- We install the basement drip.
- We install the sheathing. In the corners and at the joints of panels, the width of the strip should be about 90-100 mm, and the thickness is 25-40 mm. Intermediate strips: 45- 55 mm width and thickness are the same as the corner strips.
- The window opening is also covered with slats. There is a nuance here: first, the bottom bar is attached flush with window opening, and then with the left and with right side The planks are attached and the last plank covers the top.
- After installing the sheathing, a starting plate is attached around the perimeter. The initial panel will be attached to it.
- Then a corner element with a clamp is attached, which is used here in a different shape and with two antennae.
- We also fasten the corner panels on top with conventional clamps, and install seam seals to the slats to connect the joints between the panels.
- Then the same procedure occurs as described above, using clamps and suture seals. On internal corners a seal is also installed, one panel is installed, strengthened with a clamp, then a seam seal is placed in another plane and a panel is installed, which is also strengthened with a clamp.
- Treatment window openings practically no different from the technology described above. We place a seal with a tail over the window to drain water if condensation accumulates. Three pieces are placed on a standard window. A ventilation strip is placed on top according to the thickness of the clamp, the remaining steps are the same.
Advice! In order to save on these elements, you can get out of the situation as follows: take a panel of one color at the corners, and use another color along the perimeter. The only thing is that you have to saw the panels on one side at an angle 45 degrees so that the joint at the corner is tight.
Step-by-step instructions for finishing facade panels with insulation
Let's consider the option when installation takes place on bare wall without sheathing and hydro-wind protective membrane.
To work you will need tools such as:
- hammer;
- rubber mallet;
- grinder for filing panels;
- perforator;
- dowels;
- pliers.
Prices for popular hammer drill models
Hammers
Work order:
- Installation occurs by fastening the slabs to special tendrils, for fastening which a hole is drilled in the wall with a hammer drill, and the tendril is attached to a dowel. The antennae is attached to one hole, the edge of the antennae remains unattached to connect to next row panels.
- The rows are attached to each other by the same tendrils: some tendrils extend behind the insulation of the other panel and hold the edge. The edges are tapped with a rubber mallet for leveling.
- To prevent heat loss, a special foam adhesive is applied to the insulation, which, during the expansion process, fills all the cracks between the tiles.
- The angle is made like this: the edge of the tile should protrude, the size of the protrusion is equal to the thickness of the tile. The insulation is removed from the edge, which makes the joint with the other tile.
- The window opening also does not cause difficulties: the tiles are filed along the window opening. If the window opening goes deep, then sawn tiles are inserted into the recesses, which are attached to metal strips with a self-tapping screw. Above the window, two metal strips are attached with dowels, and a tile is attached to them, in which a hole is drilled for this purpose, a dowel is inserted there, and everything is also attached with a self-tapping screw, which is then painted over.
Advice! For beauty, you can use the following finishing process: use tiles of a different color in the corners and along the edges.

Houses covered with stone-like facade panels look not just elegant, but completely correspond to your ideas about the appearance of the building - it can be aged, conveying the style of your favorite era, or ultra-modern. Moreover, such cladding has a long service life, which will provide an attractive appearance for many years. If you want to update the design of the facade, then dismantling and new installation It happens very easily and can be implemented on your own. Another important factor is the absence of the need for maintenance of the panels - only occasionally they can be rinsed with water to remove dust.
Houses with façade panels made to look like wild stone look especially exclusive. In this case, their solidity and importance border on inaccessibility. At the same time, their owners all year round live in comfortable conditions, after all, just like a natural stone, these panels keep the room cool in the summer, and protect against piercing winds and severe frosts in the winter.

SimpleBuild sells stone-effect facade panels manufactured by manufacturers Royal Stone, Alta-Profile, etc. The catalog contains materials that effectively imitate the surface of malachite, rocky stone, granite of various types (Siberian, Karelian), etc. We supply facade panels in Moscow, shipping to the regions is also possible. Experienced specialists SimpleBuild will be happy to help you select materials for cladding a specific building and tell you about the features of each of them. In addition, we have a wide range of additional elements (profiles, planks, etc.) made to look like stone, which will allow you to create a beautiful, harmonious design outer surface building.
Main advantages
This finish compares favorably with natural analogues in the following basic features:
- lower price. This makes façade panels a cost-effective building material that is accessible to a wide range of buyers;
- small mass. Stone-look façade panels create a noticeably lower load on the base, which reduces construction costs;
- spectacular appearance. Decorative facade panels with a stone appearance practically do not differ from natural materials and therefore can be used to decorate the most respectable buildings. You can view the photos in the SimpleBuild catalogue;
- practicality in operation. It is much easier to care for panels for finishing stone facades than for their natural counterparts. You can wash them from dust using a directed water jet;
- immunity to external influences. Natural stone can absorb moisture and foreign substances, and facades made from it can become overgrown with moss. The panels are resistant to such factors. At the same time, they retain the basic advantages of natural materials: non-flammability, strength, and resistance to rotting.
To buy stone-look facade panels, add them to your “Cart” or contact SimpleBuild at any of the contact numbers.
After construction, the house cannot be left in this condition. Exterior wall finishing will be required. It is designed not only to improve appearance, but also to provide some protective functions. Cladding with natural stone is very expensive, but the appearance will be stunning.
There is another solution that will cost much less, but it is unlikely that anyone will be able to see the catch. It is carried out with the help of decorative ones. Which ones are best to choose and why are they good? The article is devoted to discussing these points.
Why are they good?
Finishing a facade with natural stone can take not just days, but whole months. This is due to some complexity of the technology and the selection of required components. If we talk about panels, the whole process happens very quickly. This is explained modular design panels. When installing such decorative panels there are no special requirements for weather conditions. Quicker we're talking about about the comfort of the master himself.
Some types of natural stone only require dry, warm weather. Otherwise, it will simply fall off over time. Trimming the panels occurs without a lot of dust. This number will not work with natural stone. Cleaning after installation is good article by time. Some types of panels do not require the use of glue.
With regard to decorative panels, there are no special requirements for the condition of the wall of the house and what it is made of. Often panels are made from polymer materials. They are light in weight, which means they will not put a load on both the walls themselves and the foundation. Cutting corners is a pleasure. Usually the manufacturer provides additional modules for panels that do not require careful drawing of corners. Another advantage of some decorative panels is the additional sound insulation they provide to those living in the house.
Requirements for panels
Although many are guided solely by appearance when choosing a material for finishing, this is not its only purpose. Another factor is what protective properties have panels. They must be able to compensate for sudden temperature fluctuations, as well as provide protection against moisture penetration. This is especially true for structures that are assembled frame method, wood or other hygroscopic material. To others important point, which can be decisive when choosing panels for exterior finishing is how they will behave when exposed to open fire. Some products are made using insulating lining material, which can instantly catch fire.
It would be unpleasant if after some time the color of the panels faded or completely faded. That is why they must be resistant to ultraviolet rays. Such products do not require special maintenance and can be easily cleaned with water. The modules must be fixed in such a way that the surface of the walls can be freely ventilated. This will make it possible to prevent the formation of condensation and the growth of fungus.
Types of panels
To do best choice, you need to have a good understanding of what types of decorative panels exist for exterior decoration. The main types of modules with their features will be listed below.
Under the brick
Many luxury homes today are decorated decorative bricks. He looks simply wonderful. But many are stopped by the figure that is obtained after calculations only for the purchase of material. If you take delivery into account, Additional materials and the services of a master, then it just becomes bad. The solution is to use finishing panels that have a pattern that is almost impossible to distinguish from real brick. This can only be done with a very close examination, and sometimes only tactilely. The cost of such panels is several times cheaper. In terms of their quality characteristics, modules for facing bricks are practically not inferior.
This fairly large group is divided into two main subspecies. One of them implies the presence of modules with a homogeneous structure, and the other - with a combined one. The difference concerns the layers of the cake from which the modules are made. The additional structure implies the presence of fixed insulation, which eliminates the need for additional purchase. If the house is already insulated using polystyrene foam or penoplex, then modules with a homogeneous structure are suitable, which can simply be mounted on top of the insulation. Some types of modules with insulation are fixed using the hot method without the use of classical glue or solutions.
Facade modules for external finishing with a brick pattern significantly reduce cladding time. Bricks must be laid in rows, and one module already has several rows. The material from which they are made can easily withstand even harsh winters. Some types of bricks accumulate salt from rainwater over time, which appears as white spots. As a rule, it is quite difficult or impossible to wash them. There is no such problem with finishing modules. Many people opt for combined panels, since two tasks are performed at once. An example of the installation of such modules can be seen in the video below.
Advice! Facade modules that are designed to look like brick can be used not only for wall decoration. Some people buy them for fences or other buildings. They perform their function just as well as on the building.
Under the stone
It is difficult to find a person who would not like natural stone finishing. The “savage” stone has gained great popularity. It does not require any maintenance and is ready to last for centuries. But it all comes down to cost again. Natural stone panels are similar in structure to those made to resemble facing bricks. They can also be with or without insulation. The front side is most often made of polymer materials.
The cladding modules do not lose their color in the sun and do not crack in the cold. Installation of such external cladding panels can be done in two ways. The first of them involves the use of a special sheathing that is attached to the wall. And the second is direct contact with the wall through glue. The latter is more suitable when the walls are ideal. If they need to be leveled a little, then it is better to attach them to the sheathing.
Note! Stone facing modules often have non-standard and irregular shape. This is an important factor that allows you to achieve maximum consistency with natural stone.
The price for such finishing panels is quite affordable. Its formation can be influenced by the size of the module, its shape, thickness, and color. Installation work does not require ideal weather conditions. Basic construction skills are usually enough to do the job yourself. They can be used both for finishing the plane of the walls and the basement level.
Under clinker tiles
Clinker tiles have already become a favorite among many owners. She has a pleasant appearance. Most often it is made with soft colors without mottled inclusions. It allows you to create a calm atmosphere. The tile has good characteristics regarding heat conservation. Finished product tolerates it well sharp jumps temperature. In addition, it is quite durable. It does not lose its properties when used on panels for finishing facades. The method of making such panels is very interesting. The tiles are laid out on a special base and filled with insulation, which then acquires the required parameters.
The panels turn out to be environmentally friendly, because the insulation itself does not have harmful emissions, and the tiles are made of natural clay, without foreign impurities. The sun's rays cannot dull the color of the tile. Cladding panels also withstand physical impact very well. The price of such modules is slightly higher than other options. This is explained by the cost of the clinker tiles themselves, since they are a natural component. Even with high humidity, fungus and mold do not appear on such panels. There are practically no pores in the tile, so it does not absorb moisture.
Another name for facing modules made of clinker tiles is thermal panels. This is due to the use of one of the best insulation materials. Its quality is not penoplex, but polyurethane foam. The latter does not ignite in an open fire; it can melt, but nothing more. Installation of such panels can be done by attaching them to the sheathing or directly to the walls. Thanks to the clear lines on such finishing modules, it is very easy to maintain a given level and carry out installation yourself. Cladding panels with clinker tiles may not necessarily be smooth. Some types of tiles that are used for cladding modules have some relief.
Note! Although clinker tiles are resistant to physical impacts, they can burst and crumble from strong impacts. This should be taken into account when choosing places to attach such cladding. If one tile is damaged, the entire panel will lose its appearance.
Before installing cladding panels with clinker tiles, it is necessary to take care of high-quality surface preparation. The walls must be plastered and treated with an antiseptic compound. If they have old paint, then it must be removed. There is always the option of mounting on a frame, which will simplify the task. Such facing panels are ready to serve for decades. At the same time, they will always look like new.
Fiber cement
From the name it becomes clear that such cladding panels are made of cement with the addition of certain fibers. Most of the mortar for production is plaster. It is mixed with special granules that control the moisture content of the material itself. Protective layer located on both sides of such a cladding panel. It is quite durable, so it is designed to last a long time. Sudden temperature changes do not affect the shape of fiber cement panels. Such panels for exterior decoration are quite stable. Their advantage is fire resistance.
Such decorative panels for exterior decoration they can be made to look like stone. They do not have harmful secretions, which is important for those families with children. A wide variety of pigments can be added to the cladding modules, creating unique color solutions. They can also be painted. But you will have to pay a hefty sum for paint for such facing panels. The price is influenced not only by the color, but also by the design implemented on them. The thickness may also be different, which will affect the cost of panels for exterior decoration. Some versions of cladding modules have special brackets, which makes their installation easier. The composition formula for the production of panels is kept secret by each manufacturer.
Note! Care should be taken when selecting such cladding panels for areas where it rains frequently or high humidity. Modules may become slightly deformed under such conditions.
Conclusion
As you can see, modules for cladding a house are a very beneficial solution from both an aesthetic and practical point of view. If you install another row of insulation under panels with insulation, then in the cold season you will have to spend less funds for heating. Finishing panels can be combined. For example, the main plane of the wall can be made using one type of modules, and ground floor lined with another.
During the construction of sheathing for decorative modules, experts advise observing the required spacing of the planks. This will protect the modules from damage due to pushing. Some types of cladding are attached not from the modules themselves, but from corner strips and others additional elements. Usually the manufacturer indicates this in the instructions for a specific product.
Many manufacturers offer a wide selection of materials for decorating building facades. Most in an original way To achieve the unique appearance of a building is to create hinged ventilated facades. This technology differs not only in variability color range panels, but also by shape, texture and even the name of materials.
Panels made of polymers (plastic) are widely used.
Advantages
Plastic panels have whole line undeniable advantages over other materials intended for finishing facades and even over metal panels:
- Low weight of the structure;
- Durability of the material;
- Low price of material and installation work;
- Ease of maintenance and repair;
- Large assortment of types and shapes.
In our country, stone was considered a traditional finishing material, which is why the line of plastic panels imitating a stone surface is the most extensive, both in texture and color.
Types of plastic panels under stone
The most popular in the finishing materials market are plastic panels that imitate hewn, rubble or natural stone. At the same time, manufacturers provide a full line of necessary bends, corners and strips of a given texture and color.
It is especially worth noting that different panel manufacturers use different sheet sizes, so it is advisable to purchase plastic panels for the base and walls from the same manufacturer. Mounting and fastening systems are practically the same different manufacturers. All panels are mounted sequentially from the starting strip, while the next panel is inserted into the previous one with grooves and fixed.
Manufacturers
There are a huge number of offers for the sale of plastic panels on the finishing materials market, but many of the selling companies are resellers, not manufacturers. The main manufacturers of plastic facade panels are: Nailite, Novik, Docke, FineBer, Holzplast, Vox and Alta profile.
Different manufacturers vary not only the price of the finishing material, but also such parameters as color range, panel size, and quality of raw materials.
The Nailite company is widely represented in our market. One of the main reasons for this spread is extensive experience in creating facade panels. The company was founded in 1978 in the USA and has been importing its products to different countries peace.
The main series are: rubble stone (from simple to premium class), cedar, natural stone and ashlar. At the same time, panels of each series can be made in several variants (usually two or three types) of colors.
Glacier White
Brown
The dimensions of the sheets (useful length) vary from 22.86x183.83 cm to 45.7x102.2 cm, while it should be taken into account that the total length of the sheet is slightly longer due to the fastening elements hidden during installation.
Prices official representatives Nailite companies range from 509 rubles per panel.
The main dealers in Russia are the following companies: Euromet, TOP-HOUSE, Westmet, TechnoNikol.
The Novik company is a Canadian manufacturer of plastic panels, but its emphasis is on a large line of boards made under brickwork, although there are also panels that imitate hewn, natural stone and cedar.

Find out why Vox siding is praised.
Alta profile
The Russian company Alta-profile has been active in the façade systems market since 2007. A relatively large number of series of colors for the design of plastic panels allows it to compete adequately with more famous manufacturers.
New products from this company were the panels of the “Canyon” series, which almost immediately began to be produced in five color categories: Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Arizona and Kansas.
What you need to know before purchasing.
Moreover, one of the lowest prices for a panel is 415 rubles.
Technology for installing plastic panels under stone
Installation of panels can be divided into 3 stages:
- Preliminary surface preparation;
- Frame structure;
- Installation of panels.
The installation of panels begins with the installation of the starting and finishing profiles, as well as guide profiles. The installation of the panels themselves is carried out as follows: the panel is inserted into one guide profile, bent in an arc and then inserted into another guide profile. The side on which the small mounting shelf of the panel is located is inserted into the starting profile. In order to bring the panel into the starting profile, you should use a rule and a mallet.

Plastic facade panels are quite interesting solution to decorate the facade of a building.
Stone siding for plinth - modern finishing material, which is one of the most popular today. It allows you not only to insulate the building, but also to transform its appearance. This ensures reliable protection buildings from the negative influence of the external environment.
Stone facing siding has natural texture and outwardly practically no different from natural material. And in some properties it even surpasses it.
Among the many advantages of stone-look basement siding, the following can be highlighted:
The finishing material is relatively light in weight, which greatly facilitates the installation process. Wild stone siding can be used for any type of foundation. This property becomes especially relevant when it comes to the reconstruction of old buildings.
Basement siding under wild stone is environmentally friendly look finishing. During its production, safe materials and special additives are used to improve quality characteristics products.
The material does not change its properties under conditions of sharp temperature fluctuations.
Basement stone siding reliably protects walls from moisture and prevents the formation of condensation. Thanks to this, mold or mildew does not appear on the surface of the material.
This coating does not require additional finishing and retains its excellent appearance throughout its entire service life.
