You need to think about the appearance of your facade in advance; it is better to do this already at the design stage of the building. Our company is pleased to offer you architectural elements made from high-quality polystyrene foam (expanded polystyrene), both coated and uncoated, with further plastering on site.

Today, decorative facade elements made of foam plastic are the optimal balance of several important factors:

  • quality,
  • price
  • aesthetic appearance,
  • durability,
  • ease of installation.

In the production of products, we use polystyrene foam of the PSB-S25F brand; this material fully meets the needs for reliability and functionality. At the customer's request, we are also ready to offer denser grades of polystyrene foam PSB-S35 and PSB-S50.


Installation services

They are produced using polystyrene foam glue (we recommend using ceresit ST84 or ST85) at air temperatures from +5 to +30°C. If the distance of the element from the wall is more than 150 mm, it should be additionally secured with a disc dowel with a pitch of 400 mm; this should be done one day after gluing.

For “wet” facades, the optimal time for installing foam decor is considered to be the stage after plastering external walls(if insulation is not provided), if the project provides for insulation of the facade, work is carried out on the insulation before applying the base reinforcing layer and finishing. In these cases, decorative elements must be ordered without coating, which will significantly save your budget! This method is a priority and guarantees that the decorative elements of the facade will delight you for many years. Eat real examples foam plastic buildings that are 30 years old.

If the façade of the house is already finished, including facing bricks or tiles, then in this case the decor must be ordered already applied protective coating or apply it yourself at the construction site before installing it on the facade. As a protective layer, we use an acrylic polymer composition with a mineral filler, applied by spraying, like a “fur coat”.

Elements with our coating are completely ready for installation, have a gray-beige color under final painting. With this installation method, special attention must be paid to the seam between the facade and the decorative element; it is necessary to exclude the possibility of water getting into it.

Looking at any house, you can immediately notice the decorative features of the facade, its unique elements, unusual style, aesthetics of architecture. A private house can be interesting and original, even turn into a small palace, castle or fortress in gothic style, if you use your imagination and have some knowledge.

Similar nuances may also occur with other materials, such as artificial stone and concrete.

Concrete has a gray tint, so it loses a little compared to plaster. If the material is painted, it will need to be repainted every few years.

The artificial stone looks like sandstone and has yellow tones. The attractive texture can attract many, but this material is bad for the manufacture of thin parts.

One of the disadvantages of concrete, gypsum and artificial stone is that they are difficult to install. When designing a facade, it is necessary to take into account the weight of the decor, since the facade is not always able to withstand any load. If the owner still chooses heavy decor, the foundation and walls should be strengthened.

Polymer lightweight materials such as polyurethane, fiberglass, polystyrene and polymer concrete are the best option for decoration of facades. Most low price has polystyrene. They cut him out various elements decor, without complex details and bas-reliefs. This material It perfectly absorbs moisture, so you need to use it where water will not get on its surface in the future. Then it is painted and reinforced with mesh.

Arched decor

Quite often in architecture you can find arched windows, and builders have a question about how to design such window or door openings. In order to make the design neat and beautiful, it is necessary to use arched moldings, consisting of segments that are curved with a specific radius. To install these elements, you should sharpen the joints to fit them under the arched window opening.

Radius moldings are used in the design of round towers or other similar elements. They can make the facade of a building more beautiful and unique.

Foam plastic is a universal polymer material. Packaging for transporting fragile items is made from it. large cargo, lifebuoys and insulation panels for residential buildings.

Recently, facade decor made from foam plastic has become widespread in construction. Due to its low weight and ease of processing, this material has become very popular among modern architects.

Finishing the facade of a residential building with foam plastic allows them to simultaneously perform 2 tasks: to improve the appearance of the home and to insulate the building. In addition, an important factor in the popularity of this material is its low price.

After all, products made from it are much cheaper than structures made from plaster and stone.

You can install façade decor from foam plastic with your own hands. You don't need to have much to do this. construction experience. It is enough to follow the recommendations below. But it is better to entrust the production of decorative elements from this material to specialists.

Selection of building materials

Foam plastics - common name for several polymers with similar properties. The two materials most often called this are polyurethane foam and polystyrene foam.

Polyurethane foam is a lightweight polymer with low thermal conductivity and a high ignition temperature. When burned, it releases urethane, a relatively harmless gas.

During operation it does not emit any toxic substances. It is suitable for both external and interior decoration premises.

Expanded polystyrene - lightweight material, also has low thermal conductivity, but its ignition temperature is much lower than the ignition temperature of polyurethane foam.

In addition, during combustion it releases poisonous substance- styrene, transforming when high temperatures in phosgene - a military poisonous gas. This insulation cannot be used for interior decoration.

The choice, of course, is yours, but specialists fire safety It is recommended to buy polyurethane foam insulation. It is a little more expensive than expanded polystyrene, because in this case the price is an indicator of quality.

At the time of buying building materials you need to choose elements of facade decor from dense brands of foam plastic. The higher the density of the facade element, the longer it will last.

How much does it cost?

The cost of the material depends on the density: the higher the density, the higher the price of the product. The cost of simple panels ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles per 1 m³. The price for ready-made decorative elements of the facade is from 3,000 to 7,000 rubles per 1 m³.

To install polymer products you will need:

  • polyurethane foam;
  • glue gun;
  • umbrella dowels up to 15-20 cm long;
  • reinforcing mesh;
  • acrylic putty;
  • façade primer;
  • mineral facade plaster;
  • facade paint.

Installation of polymer blocks

Decorative finishing of the facade of a house begins with leveling the underlying surfaces, namely walls, window sills, jambs and cornices. Alignment is done facade plaster using beacons.

48 hours after the plaster has dried, decorative polymer blocks can be attached. This should be done on a dry sunny day.

To prevent the slabs from sliding on the glue, the bottom of the surfaces to be glued must be temporarily attached with self-tapping screws. wooden planks(something like formwork). The algorithm is like this:

Apply using glue gun mounting foam along the inner perimeter of the decorative element of the facade so that after pressing the block to the underlying surface, the glue does not squeeze out.

We press the block against the wall (cornice, jamb, window sill) and leave it for 3 days.

Glue the next blocks of the bottom row. Filling the gaps between blocks polyurethane foam.

3 days after the glue has set, we secure the blocks with additional dowels. 5 dowels for each element. We hammer them in the center and in the corners, 5-10 cm from the edges.

After this, we remove the wooden planks and glue the remaining blocks (row by row, from bottom to top).

After 3 days, we additionally secure them with dowels.

Then we dry the resulting decor for 2 days.

After this, we reinforce the façade decorative elements with metal or synthetic mesh, prime them and dry them again.

After 3 days, we plaster the polymer blocks and paint them.

This completes the finishing of the façade of the house with polystyrene foam.

Foam facade decor has an attractive price. In addition, such products have an original appearance.

Decorative elements, despite their low cost, are not inferior in their reliability, durability, and service life to decor made from other building materials.

Installation of decor on the facade of the house

When carrying out such work, you must follow the algorithm of actions. First you need to carry out preparatory work with the surface on which the decor will be attached. To do this, remove residues from the surface old plaster, remove dust and dirt. Armed with facade plaster, it is important to eliminate all internal irregularities.

Advice! If voids are identified, you can use a cement solution to level them.

Then they mark the places where the decorative façade elements will be attached. If some elements of the product protrude by 10-15 centimeters, you will have to strengthen the structure with dowels driven into the walls of the house in advance. Before starting work related to the design of the foam plastic facade, professionals recommend checking the evenness of the surface.

The next step installation work the glue will be diluted and applied to the back side of the decorative fragments

When attaching them to the wall, a little force will be required to improve the quality of adhesion of the glue to the surface being designed.

Attention! Be careful when working with decorative fragments, as the product is fragile.

The installation process is completed by sealing the fastener gaps with foam or sealant. After it is completely dry, you can remove their remains with a spatula.

Next, a high-quality primer of all decorative elements is carried out using a special solution. At the final stage, the manufactured polymer decor is painted with acrylic dyes according to design project. To increase the service life of products, professionals recommend painting 2-3 times.

Applying additional protection to the façade decor is a mandatory step. finishing works. This will protect ready product from sharp changes temperatures, high humidity.

Features of manufacturing foam decor

He has everything the most important characteristics and quality in order to use it in exterior decoration walls Thanks to modern automatic equipment, you can burn and cut contours and create products different sizes and forms. In order to achieve reliable protection the created element from high humidity, sudden temperature changes, sheets of polymer material are coated with a reinforcing composition. For example, you can treat a sheet of polymer material with mineral mixtures created on the basis acrylic paint.

Next, the sheet is sent for drying. In order for the polymer not to lose its technical and operational characteristics, it is necessary to maintain a certain temperature regime. As soon as protective layer Once it dries, the workpiece is sent to the last stage of production: cleaning and polishing.
