An integral stage in the arrangement of your own home or suburban cottage is the decoration of its facade. Naturally, the issue of decoration begins with the choice of facade coverage of the most satisfied homeowner in aesthetic, functional and economic plan.
The choice of finishing materials for facades is very large. As for the most popular external coatings, one of them is clinker tiles. This material was loved by homeowners and builders due to high quality indicators, durability and great variety.
Today, the production of clinker tiles continues to improve, due to which the quality of the finished finishing material is also being improved. Nevertheless, shale clay is invariably used as raw materials for its production, from which, in the process of firing under the influence of high temperature (over 1200 degrees), a coating is obtained to protect facades having excellent strength and operational characteristics.
The clinker is resistant to various mechanical influences, including impacts, which allows you to increase the wear time of the coating. Also, this tile does not carry out an electric current, so that electric wires can be nasty under it. The clinker tile for the facade practically does not absorb moisture (the water absorption of this material does not exceed 3%), which means that such a coating can protect the walls of the house from the rain.
As for the installation of the clker, the technology of these works is not much different from laying ordinary ceramic tiles. And involves preliminary surface preparation, as well as the use of level and beacons. As a masonry composition, a special glue on a cement basis is used.
The cost of this finishing material does not exceed the cost of other facade coatings, and in some cases much lower. While the quality of this material and its aesthetic characteristics are many times superior to most facade coatings.
