It must be remembered that gypsum is one of the heaviest materials, so you should purchase reliable and durable fasteners in order to avoid various problems.

Similar nuances can arise with other materials, such as artificial stone and concrete.

Concrete has gray shade, therefore loses a little compared to gypsum. 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.

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.

Architecture has been a part of culture since time immemorial; its masterpieces fascinate and inspire us with their beauty, grandeur of forms and details. The facade of a house is like clothing, and today it can tell a lot about the status and tastes of its owners, because the first impression of any building is created depending on how it looks from the outside.

Architectural relief decor plays an important role in the formation of the facade, which has a very long history. Fine Jewelry buildings have been used for centuries, since the times of ancient civilizations. While centuries ago architects only decorated palaces, castles and museums, now, thanks to new materials such as polystyrene foam, rich decoration has become more accessible.

Today, expanded polystyrene (EPS) shapes the design of many construction projects. In the 1950s, the material was recognized as a primary insulating material and later became a powerful aid in creating durable design elements. Its advantages are undeniable!

1. Features of this lung building material make it suitable for repeated use.
2. Relatively low cost decorative items made of polystyrene foam can significantly reduce financial costs.
3. The production time for decor from this lightweight, air-filled plastic is much shorter than the production time for elements made from concrete, plaster and stone.
4. The light weight of the parts makes them easy to transport to site.
5. A wide selection of colors when decorating allows you to use architectural decorations made of polystyrene foam for finishing a wide variety of buildings.
6. Decorative elements coated with a waterproofing protective layer have excellent weather resistance.
7. The decor can be flexible, it is not exposed to ultraviolet rays and moisture, and does not shrink.
8. Facade profiles and elements combine perfectly with textured plaster and clinker tiles, they are easy to install and safe to work with.

Newest polymer elements become an integral part of many buildings, residential and public. They are fixed to the facade with special glue; larger and heavier forms can be fixed additionally.

Individual modules made of expanded polystyrene in design solution can be combined in accordance with style, project features and personal taste. Wherein modern jewelry facades are often exact copies original forms the past, therefore they are successfully used in the restoration of old houses, architectural and historical monuments built in different centuries - destroyed and cracked ancient facade decorations can be completely replaced with EPS elements of the same shape and size.

Common types of architectural elements made of polystyrene foam

Decorative columns

Columns from polymer materials are not part of architectural structures in modern construction, they are absolutely decorative. These elements can have rectangular and round section, their sizes and styles are also different. Like classic columns, they have three parts - base, body and capital. In some cases, elements made of polystyrene foam are decorated with metal supports or hidden pipes are decorated.

Prices for various types of decorative columns

Decorative columns

Pilasters

The pilaster is architectural element, which in classical architecture is used to give the appearance of support in the decorative division of walls. Externally, a pilaster is very similar to a column, but it is, in fact, a decorative protrusion; its shape is not three-dimensional, but relief. The pilaster parts are exactly the same as the column parts, they are all purchased separately.

Architectural profiles

Architectural profiles can have different type and shape, they perform different functions.

Purpose of the profile	Appearance
The facade cornice is the main decorative element of the building facade. Depending on the location, this profile can be a cornice between floors and a cornice located under the roof. The size and shape of this profile are selected in strict, modular interdependence.
Horizontal decorative profiles, the function of which, unlike cornices, is dividing, they are used to outline or divide the different levels of the building.
Window sill elements exterior finishing, which are installed at the base of window openings.
Decorative profiles of various sizes and shapes, which are usually used for decorating the edges and corners of openings for doors and windows.
Profiles to imitate “rustic siding” on the facade. This rustication will beautifully complement the overall design solution. Can be produced: - laying alternately rustication of different sizes, - laying rustication horizontally, - laying at regular intervals.

Pediments

The pediment is found in classical Greek temples, Renaissance masterpieces, and neoclassical architecture. This element usually has the shape of a triangle, surrounded on three sides by stucco. The pediment field is often decorated with sculptures.

Arches

Arches are structures, usually semi-cylindrical in shape, used as a decorative element above doors and windows, to decorate false windows, between two columns or pillars.

These elements in architecture can be called cornerstones; they are installed at the top of an arch or vault. Today, such stone, made from polystyrene foam, is used as decoration for gates, doors, windows, ceilings and much more. Keystones offer an endless array of decorative possibilities. Their wide range of designs makes it easy to create an elegant and fashionable home façade, both modern and classic. The stones are made from high quality polystyrene and are easy to install. A special coating with quartz makes the part rigid and very durable.

This architectural decor is used to decorate the corners of buildings, using it to visually identify the reliability and strength of structures. Most often, such elements are made in the form of tiles, the edges of which are made with slight bevel to prevent water and dirt from accumulating in the grooves.

Balustrades

Balustrades surround the structures of stairs, terraces, balconies and the like. They consist of a parapet, which is supported by figured columns. They also decorate buildings, creating a special impression of respectability and stability. Balustrades are often used to provide visible support for windows.

Features of decor production

The modern process of modeling polymer architectural decoration is quite different from what it was in ancient times, but the visual effect is not inferior to the aesthetics of its more expensive predecessors. The raw material for the decoration, which was traditionally made by hand from stone, cast from gypsum and concrete, was chosen to be a material with a density of 25-35 kg per cubic meter, filled with gas and having a very light weight.

The part is formed on a programmable machine using thermal cutting. Therefore, absolutely any idea can be easily realized. First, specialists model the architectural element in computer program, and then it is cut on a machine, taking into account radial mates and precise dimensions. The machines literally copy the designed model, after which a composition that has protective properties is applied to the part. Often, the strength of architectural parts is already reinforced during production with a mesh that protects the element from any negative influences. Next, the decor is covered with a cement-adhesive layer (1-6 mm) with various fillers and reinforcing microfibers. It is this coating that protects the decor from UV and moisture, it allows it to withstand low temperatures and provides vapor permeability.

Installation

Before starting to decorate the facades, a project is developed. To do this, first a rough sketch is created that reflects the actual shape and size of the building. Then the search for an idea begins. Architectural details can be formed from various elements, they must have appropriate proportions and be positioned so that the appearance of the house changes in better side. To do this, you can rely on your inner sense of harmony or study the proportions of the Golden Ratio. The final stage of design is a drawing made to scale; it can be done on a computer or manually.

Installation involves three main steps: cutting, gluing and painting.

When ordering elements, you need to count the number of meters or the number of pieces of the product, then you can independently calculate the price of the product. When measuring windows or doors, you need to remember that the length of each edge must be ordered with a margin. All constituent elements Columns and pilasters are sold separately and are glued together when placed.

Before installation, profiles, cornices, moldings and other elements must be laid out in a dry place on a flat surface, away from heating devices. The parts are stacked loosely on top of each other. Maximum dimensions profiles can be 200 cm long and 120 cm high. The experience and opinion of craftsmen indicate that the most acceptable choice is profile strips approximately 50 cm long. Strips of this length are easier to install. Installation of curtain rods around 200cm long is more expensive due to the time required and the need for two people to install.

Profiles are cut at angles in the range of 90-45 degrees. Tolerance + - 5 mm. Straight cuts can be made with a saw, or they can be cut with a knife or circular saw.

Attention! Facade profiles and elements made of polystyrene foam can only be used as decoration; they cannot bear any load on the structure.

Required tools:

• hacksaw,
• measuring instruments,
• miter box,
• putty knife,
• brush,
• pencil,
• sandpaper.

Step 1. Preparatory work

Before installing the elements, markings are carried out on the facade according to the project, using a level, tape measure and other devices. It is best to start installation at a temperature of 5-30°C.

Step 2: Cleaning

The surface is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and plaster, old paint removed with solvents.

Step 3: Alignment

The surface is ideally leveled with mineral façade putty. Then the finishing layers are applied, all cracks and defects are eliminated.

Step 4. Attaching the decor

Architectural elements are attached using glue, and sometimes a reinforcing mesh is used to enhance adhesion. Glue is often recommended by decorative manufacturers who know the features of their product. Generally, high-performance polystyrene foam adhesives are polymer-based, high-adhesive, and designed to withstand multiple weather cycles. Created today different kinds glue good quality, they are simultaneously used in the construction of thermal insulation systems of buildings, for example, “Adesilex P9 Mapei”.

The technician must use a notched trowel to apply an adhesive composition specially designed for installation to the back of the element, then architectural detail carefully pressed to the place of its attachment. For large elements, various fasteners are used during installation. We must not forget that large, protruding elements need to be protected by tides.

Step 5. Joining elements

The outer edges of the profiles, if they are joined, are placed at a distance of 5 mm. After 12 hours, the gap left is filled with a solution that is used in insulation systems.

Attention! Silicone should not be used because the paint will not cover it.

Connections between facade profiles and other elements, such as window sills, ebbs or wooden parts, are always filled with flexible sealant. At the end of installation, you need to check the tightness of the joints of all combinations of elements; any gap should be carefully filled special composition. Irregularities are processed with sandpaper.

Painting

After attaching all the elements, a primer is applied, and then painted in the chosen color, using a roller or brush. First you need to protect the walls around the part to be painted. To do this, use masking tape, which can be easily removed after painting. Before work, you should first prime the surface with diluted paint (approx. 10-20% water).

Then the dried surface is coated with paint a second time, using a thick initial composition. The operation can be repeated if necessary.

Some of the organic solvents are capable of dissolving the materials to which they are applied. Therefore, when choosing paint for polystyrene foam, you need to pay attention to its composition. If you are not sure how the paint will apply, you can conduct an experiment on a small piece of the profile.

White facades are universal, they are suitable for both modern and classic buildings. White color creates the impression of purity and newness. The second most popular facade color is all shades of yellow. The yellow facade has a warm, illuminated character and evokes positive emotions, it is ideal for one-story houses, because they are warm, sunny tones goes well with all typical roof colors.

The facade is rightfully considered the “face” of the house. Therefore, it should look very beautiful and presentable. Its decor is made from different materials, but recently expanded polystyrene has been gaining more and more popularity. The article will talk about the nuances, advantages and installation of foam parts.

Advantages of polystyrene foam decor

Expanded polystyrene is now held in special esteem by builders and designers. Decorating a residential building with this light and practical material allows you to solve 2 problems at once: insulate the room and decorate it. In addition, the material ensures ease of installation and durability.

Elements for the facade made of expanded polystyrene are gradually replacing decorations made of plaster and concrete, which are bulky and heavy. After all, the presence of the latter on the construction site greatly increases the load on the foundation and load-bearing walls, which requires their additional strengthening.

If we compare decor made of polystyrene foam with similar parts made of plaster and wood, then there is also an obvious advantage of the first - it is not afraid high humidity. In addition, the material is not afraid of the effects of alkali, acid and mineral oils.

Expanded polystyrene is easily attached to walls using plaster or cement mortar and mastics. If desired, it is easy to design the façade yourself.

Attention! By painting the stucco molding in the right shade, you can advantageously highlight the color and texture of the walls of the house or play on the contrast.

The material is completely odorless; mold fungi and putrefactive bacteria do not settle on it. Expanded polystyrene does not burn well and does not contain harmful compounds. The decor can be mounted both on the outside of the building and on the inside. This is a great option for restoring old houses.

As a facade decoration, polystyrene foam is suitable for use in regions with different climates. He does not respond to either high or low temperatures. If desired, you can order non-repeating shapes that will give the house originality.

How decor is made from polystyrene foam

The material that will be used as stucco on the facade of the building must have special qualities. Therefore, special technology is used for its production.

Manufacturers use polystyrene foam to make a semblance of any facing material, for example, stone, wood, plaster. This imitation is visually difficult to distinguish from natural decor.

Advice. You can use polystyrene foam stones in the corners of the house. The result is a very beautiful relief due to the protrusions of the decorative elements relative to the walls.

Types of decorating elements and rules for their installation

As can be seen in the photo, there are quite a lot of elements that serve as decoration for the facade. The common names are:

To install polystyrene foam decor with your own hands, you need to adhere to the following rules:

• Walls, window sills, jambs and cornices, that is, all surfaces on which polystyrene foam will be attached will need to be carefully leveled. For this purpose, facade plaster is used.
• Next, you should wait until all treated surfaces are completely dry. This usually takes about 2 days.
• Perform markings using a level and plumb line.
• Fix the polystyrene foam to the base. Apply to the back side assembly adhesive or foam. The prepared element is pressed forcefully to the intended location. In this case, you need to leave a 2-3 mm gap between adjacent parts.

Advice. To prevent the decor from slipping on the glue, wooden strips can be temporarily attached to the bottom side.

• After 3 days, when the polystyrene foam sticks well, the parts are additionally secured with dowels.
• The joints are filled with a compound designed to seal the seams. Leave it to dry for several days.
• At the end of installation, the decorative elements are primed and painted.

Polystyrene foam decor – perfect option for beautification of the facade. From a financial point of view, this is not at all expensive, and the work of attaching the decor can easily be done by yourself.
