High-quality and beautiful exterior decoration allows not only to improve the general appearance of the house, but also gives it personality. In addition, many types of exterior decoration allow you to insulate the building, making living in it more comfortable.
Exterior finish of brick houses
When a brick building is being built, the external wall decoration begins already in the process of building the house. In this case, bricks of various colors can be used. With their help, you can originally design the facade with the most intricate patterns. Patterns can be created as two-tone or multi-color, because now in the market of building materials you can find bricks of various shades and textures.
You can decorate the building by letting out a row of bricks of a different color on top, or lay out ornaments around the windows with them. Large patterns with intricate patterns are best done on walls where there are no windows. The facade looks good when decorated with its "sockets". Typically, "outlets" of brick adorn the corners of buildings. The effect of the "outlet" is obtained by extending the brick by one quarter, relative to the total surface.
Finishing houses from concrete blocks and sawdust
If you plan to build a house of concrete blocks, then you need to take care of the wall decor when making the blocks themselves. To get the idea, when forming blocks, granite crumb or fine gravel can be poured onto the bottom of the mold, and only then concrete mortar should be poured. After solidification of the lower decorative layer, you can begin to fill the block itself.
For exterior decoration of buildings made of adobe or sawdust concrete, the surface of the walls is first plastered. Because such materials can perfectly absorb moisture. As a decorative finish, you can use granite chips or just cover the walls with water-based or silicate paint. When coating with paint, an obligatory condition must be taken into account - the surface of the plaster should be wet.
