In order to make a high quality facade of his house of some siding panels not enough. For any facing elements there are fair components, without which the installation of panels is impossible. Using metal trend to cover your home, I ran into such an action as the installation of the corners. Therefore, today I will tell you what they need components, what sizes they have, as well as how siding is going on with your own hands.

Classification of elements
Metal facing
In fact, not only the angles are components of the material for the facing panels. It is from the manufacturer who depends the extensiveness of challenges. The separation of which is possible by type and for the purpose.
Important! It should be known that each facing part that is a component is divided into 2 types: simple elements and complex. They do not have any differences in their functionality, but their installation is necessary in different ways.
There are quite a lot of southing elements, each of them contribute to the high-quality connection of the panels and are a decorative component. At the moment there are such strips:
- Starting and Finish Profile
- P-shaped
- Docking Planks - Upper and Lower
- Docking connected plank
- Profile for external upper and lower corners
- Planck for the inner upper and lower corners
- The connected planks of external and internal angles
Metal and robes is a very popular material, as it has a long list of benefits. Due to the fact that the material is a fireproof and does not support combustion, metal-triping is successfully used to cover government agencies, entertainment centers, hospitals and all public structures. Since metalyding is very light, it does not carry a large load on the structure and its foundation, and the installation of siding panels and corners is possible with their own hands. Metal: has excellent strength characteristics, due to this, it is not deformed even under the influence of a large hail. Siding panels are resistant to ultraviolet radiation - this is how many manufacturers say. However, as the practice of the panel shows, they still burn out under the sun, although at first glance it is not so noticeable.

Installation of profileiding occurs from below-up, but before that, the installation of the starting profile is necessary, into which the panel is snapped, and then screwed to the frame. The starting bar must be mounted using a level and plumb, since it sets the stroke for the subsequent first row of panels. Self-tapping screws with the help of which the metal is fixed. It is necessary to screw in the middle of the perforation. Due to this, during the temperature expansion, the panel can move freely.
Sophisticated and simple planks
Fix siding using corners
If you decide to apply complex components, the installation of the angles should occur after fixing the starting strip. For the outer angle, the fastening step will be 20-30 cm - such a distance is necessary for high-quality fixing the complex angle.
However, it is most often used for self-mounting angles. Simple chapels are used. In this case, set the angles and replace them in case of damage much easier. Installing the outdoor angle of simple type occurs on the front side of the siding. Conducting the installation of the corners with your own hands, I did not have any problems, and for general confidence I viewed the instructions in which it is indicated how to install all the surrendors of siding correctly.
Important! Metality trees from other species is characterized in that it is possible to order components with any dimensions. Profiles dimensions are limited only in length and cannot exceed 2 meters. All other sizes can be performed under the customer, the main thing is that they do not exceed 12.5 cm in the width of all sides of the plank.
Tools for fixing
Corners for metalyading
For your siding, I applied galvanized screws with a seal. Such fasteners are great for mounting simple components. Since the mount takes place on the front side of profiles and panels, it is better to choose a self-tapping screw and seals for your new facade.

Since the self-tapping screw can be unscrewed many prefer to use exhaust rivets. With their help, there is no need to punch metal, as they are attached to the holes that are drilled in advance. The hole must exceed the diameter of the rivet no more than 1 mm.
Panel size, their weight and other necessary characteristics
Outdoor angle for siding
Metal-shaped standard dimensions, and its multiplicity is equal to one. This means that you can buy quantity you need for you - no need to buy packaging. In order to replace one element. By the way, as a person who has already had to disassemble the facade and replacing damaged panels, I want to advise immediately acquire siding with a margin. In addition to the fact that cropping will appear, you may have to make repair work, and the necessary panel at hand or in the store may not be.
Metal panel dimensions:
- Thickness can be from 0.48 to 0.61 mm
- You can choose up to 4 m - most convenient for self-installation Use 2 meter panels
- Material width - 200-250 mm
- Square meter weight from 2.4 to 3.5 kg
The size of the material can be designed to the customer's desire, it is also possible to order the individual dimensions of component elements - the vinyl coating challenges cannot be changed.
Since the metal siding has several types of coverage, I decided to make a table of approximate service life for each of them:
| Polymer coating, view | Minimum service life |
| Polyester PE. | 10-20 years old |
| Matte Polyester Pema. | 15-20 years old |
| PVC-200 PLC-200 | More than 30. |
| PuralRal | 25-30 |
| PVDF PVDF. | More than 50. |
Montage siding with your own hands
Judging from the table becomes clear which coating has a wonderful service life. Polymer coated metal panels occupy about 70% of the entire metal facing market. So the panels are manufactured according to GOST requirements it is necessary to know that the difference in the price of producers is different due to the quality of the components of the components and the cost of delivering elements of the European supplier. That is why many Russian manufacturer won in price.

By purchasing panels and components, follow the rules for selecting all the elements from the same manufacturer. This is very important, since only the facade in which all the good materials are from the same supplier will live qualitatively.
