Facades of houses, photos of one-story houses, made in different styles

It is difficult to find a person who would not want to give the facade of his house an attractive appearance, because the quality of the exterior walls a residential building depends not only on its decorative parameters, but also on such operational characteristics as durability, wear resistance, practicality. Therefore, you need to choose the method of facade decoration deliberately. Let's discuss what facades of houses there are photos of one-story houses and expert advice.

Facade requirements

Today in the building materials market there are a great many options for decorating the external walls of a private house. The technologies for finishing facades also vary, so before choosing a specific one, you should study all the options that are relevant to your case for their compliance with the set requirements.

So what parameters should have a high-quality facade:

• the facades of one-story houses should demonstrate high resistance to temperature changes, as well as be highly hygroscopic, which will allow to avoid its wear due to the effects of precipitation, because during the freezing process, water tends to expand, which leads to the expansion of pores and the destruction of the external facing layer;
• the material with which the design of the facade of the house is carried out should not show a tendency to weathering or leaching. Then the wear of the facade even for a long time will be minimal;
• The finishing material of the facade of a private building with a garage or an attic should be resistant to efflorescence, aggressive environments, mold and fungus. If mineral plaster is used, then it is mandatory to use a bactericidal additive in the process of decorating the external walls;
• the outer cladding must be very attractive in order to fit well into the surrounding area.

Types of decoration of facades of one-story houses

Today, there are varied in cost, implementation technology, design, finishing options for the external walls of residential buildings. To facilitate the selection, we will talk about the most popular of them.

Facade tile

There are several varieties of such a finishing material.

Clinker	Shale clay	does not contain salts; practically does not absorb moisture from the air; demonstrates resistance to low temperatures, fungus, mold; varied in color; durable.
Terracotta	Kaolin clay	low weight, good vapor permeability; imitates the aesthetics of natural stone; slightly resistant to mechanical stress.
Concrete	Cement, quartz sand, special additives	varied color palette; low weight, relatively low price; differs in low frost resistance; requires care throughout the entire operational period.
Ceramic granite	Clay, quartz sand, feldspars, dyes	does not absorb water; resistant to wear; has a diverse design; different significant weight.

To understand what the facades of houses made of tiles look like for external works, an interesting photo of a one-story house with such decoration is presented below.

Finishing brick

Often a 1 or 2 storey house is decorated with a facing brick. This earlier choice of such material was scarce, and it was mainly used for old dilapidated buildings. Today, thanks to a wide color palette, interesting textures and a diverse design of facing bricks, the most daring design ideas for decorating new houses can be realized.

There are several types of facing bricks, depending on the method of its production:

• clinker;
• hyperpressed;
• ceramic.

Each of them allows you to create a unique individual project for facing your home.

Note the advantages of wooden facades:

• the most beautifulheatandsoundproofoptions;
• acts as a reliable protection of the external walls of houses from mechanical stress, the negative effects of moisture, a sharp temperature drop;
• provide the designer with unlimited possibilities regarding the implementation of unique ideas;
• differ in a variety of colors, textures;
• successfully harmonizes with other finishes: artificial and natural stone, plaster and ordinary brick.

Siding

Facades from a siding do not burn, look incredibly attractive, stylish, act as reliable protection for construction material from the effects of negative environmental factors, serve for a long time without loss of initial qualities. Therefore, the material is actively used to protect the outer walls of residential buildings.

Today, in the process of performing facade works, the following types of siding are used:

• woody;
• metal;
• wooden;
• vinyl.

Expanded polystyrene

Expanded polystyrene is a successful finishing material for facing the external walls of residential buildings. It has the following technical characteristics:

• low thermal conductivity - for illustration purposes, we give an example: a layer of this medium density material in terms of thermal insulation parameters can be compared with a wall cladding of pine 40 cm in thickness;
• high noise absorption is ensured by high porosity of the material;
• increased water repellent parameters;
• easy installation on any base;
• resistance to mechanical stress and deformation;
• long service life.

It is also worth noting the affordable cost of expanded polystyrene. Today, such types of expanded polystyrene as extruded expanded polystyrene, extruded and polyethylene foam are most actively used.

Brick

The cladding of the external walls of the house made of bricks is characterized by the highest degree of mechanical resistance. To form such a facade is necessary at the stage of erecting the walls of a private house. Often it is used for wooden buildings to increase their service life and resistance to negative environmental factors.

The brick facade is a rather expensive decorative element. For greater decorativeness, it is supplemented with friezes, shelves, consoles, grooves, moldings.

Plaster

Facade-type plastering is divided into the following types, each of which has certain technical qualities:

• silicone - not only performs the function of excellent protection for the external walls of houses, but also is an excellent insulation. It is vapor-permeable (does not retain moisture between the wall and the facade), is elastic (does not allow cracks to spread on the base), and is easily cleaned with water from pollution, serves a long period, does not pass salts and chemicals, it is resistant to temperature extremes (within -50 to +75 degrees);
• silicate - the most expensive at a price, resistant to mechanical stress, impact, vapor permeable, has high heat and sound insulation properties, waterproof;
• acrylic - highly plastic, moisture resistant, serves more than 15 years;
• mineral — cheapbyprice, sois popularandenjoyshighdemand. Is appliedatcaseplasteringthe walls, insulatedmineralcotton.
