Difficult siding: why sheathing a house with material is not a good idea

The first siding appeared in the 1960s overseas. With each subsequent decade, this finishing material has gained more and more popularity. In the 1990s, he came to the territory of the former Soviet space along with the new economic formation. Since then, the popularity of siding has also only grown. However, before you expose the house to exterior decoration, it is worth considering whether such a step would really be a good idea.

People know and love siding primarily because in most cases it shows itself as a very reliable and durable material. However, just like in the old anecdote: "There is one nuance." However, in the case of siding, he is not alone ...

One of the most controversial finishing materials, research of which is still going on in industrial laboratories. Mainly supporters and opponents of the use of this siding break their spears around the "microwave effect". Allegedly, due to the use of metal siding in the building, the normal operation of cell phones, the Internet and other radio equipment is disrupted.

However, there are much more understandable and irrefutable disadvantages. When the wind blows over such a building, a sound vibration (noise) occurs. A similar effect occurs during rain and hail. Good sound insulation is able to neutralize the negative effect, but creating it is an additional expense for finishing.

In addition, after installing metal siding, home furnishings become extremely difficult to maintain. It will take a lot of time and effort to remove several panels to fix any defects on the walls or to complete the work.
