Base siding

Basement siding is a relatively new material designed specifically for facing the basement. It is characterized by increased strength characteristics and unpretentiousness in care. High-quality basement siding must withstand the effects of the sun, snow, rain and wind, sudden changes in temperature and remain attractive for many years. Most often, the coloring of such a siding imitates natural materials. Reviews on basement siding, its use and practicality are located below.

Reviews and opinions on the use of basement siding

FineBer is the finish.
A comment
I wanted to buy American or Canadian base siding, but damn it - I decided to save money, after all FineBer is 2 times cheaper. But cheapness always fails - avaricious pays twice. In general, after buying the basement panels and corners for several days, all the workers and the foreman thought how to join the corners and panels from the same series - the Wild Stone. So no one came up with anything, because they are of completely different shapes, patterns, sizes and fasteners. I had to cut these products of advanced domestic technologies (not inferior, and sometimes ahead of Western developments) to pieces and dock on the principle - both lay down and support with screws. For several years I will see how it will peel off and will fade (judging by the reviews), and then I will buy a normal one, no matter how much it costs and re-mount it. In general - I do not advise, you will regret rather quickly. reply

Basement siding "Dolomite" - does not match its price
A comment
For a long time I chose the manufacturer of basement siding, as a result I read positive reviews on the Internet and decided to buy Dolomite brands. I bought a siding in the nearest hardware store, delivered it on time.

I decided to sheathe the house myself, a friend helped me. We began installation and realized that we will have to suffer for a long time with basement siding. Each panel has a size of 50x50, not only high-quality siding came into the packaging, but there was a lot of condition. According to the idea, the grooves should be inserted into the spikes, but they did not match the size and simply did not fit together.

The manufacturer promised that if I buy this siding, then the most convenient locks will be waiting for me and installation will be easy. But, not here, it was, we had to finish almost every groove ourselves, so that they at least somehow fit under the spikes. The manufacturer disappointed me!
pros
It looks good.
Minuses
Workmanship of panels and installation problems. The price for this quality is overpriced.

Used base panels from Holzplast - good and high quality.
A comment
I believe that the facade of my house should be as simple as possible in maintenance. In order not to bother yourself with various varnishes, paints, impregnations and other things, but at the same time it looked like a beer stall! I have already looked closely at the basement panels, of course, such a pleasure is far from cheap, but still do it for myself, so I decided to take them.

He stopped at the base panels from the company Holzplast. All panels were carefully packed, so that during transportation you can not worry that they will be crippled. She trimmed the facade of 135 squares, the whole thing took 315 panels. In the manufacture of panels used paints from the European manufacturer "Brillux".
He hired workers for installation, he himself didn’t have time, but on weekends he came and controlled the process.

In general, the house turned out to be excellent, with a very beautiful and stylish facade.

Alta Profile on top!
A comment
Sheathed the house with basement siding from the company Alta-Profil, their appearance looks very natural. For ourselves, we chose the texture of a rocky stone, dirt on it is almost invisible, and indeed it is not very dusty. Corners made the same basement siding, did not experiment. The useful area of ​​the material is 0.465 m2.

In general, the facade is good, the only mistake we had was the wrong choice of installers. On the south side of the house, the siding began to puff and in some places even climbed onto each other. Now you have to remove all this business and shift.
The material itself is quite fragile, it can easily be broken or split into pieces.

But in general, the finished material looks worthwhile and expensive, we really liked this type of finish for the facade of the house. A wonderful choice, but do not forget that the main thing is to carry out a quality installation.
pros
Quality, stylish and original
Minuses
Expensive and fragile material

Great finish.
A comment
He finished the cottage with basement siding from the company Alta Profile. I made all the corners with the same material, only I chose the color according to lighter and the texture was different. My cottage stood already with this facade for 2 winters, everything is in order, nothing cracked.
Installation took place normally, did with a friend, problems arose only with platbands, all connections had to be cut independently. The siding had to be cut, drilled under an additional hole for screws. From the grinder they did not burst, did not break and did not crack.
Panels screwed with a free stroke. In the wind, the facade of the house does not crack and does not walk.

The price of pleasure is 460 rubles apiece. Basement siding perfectly imitates natural materials. One minus of this material is the cost. But if finances allow, do not think - a house sheathed with such siding looks chic, stylish. A good alternative to regular siding.
pros
Beautiful, stylish, easy to install
Minuses
The cost is several times more expensive than regular siding
