Ebb plinth foundation: types and characteristics of installation

To give the building finished appearance and to protect the base from the rainfall, tides acquired special plinth foundation. The particular configuration of elements and assembling at a certain angle to rule out premature cracking base. We offer to meet with the existing species and the execution order of installation.

Appointment timetable for the plinth foundation

that house foundations able to withstand operational loads, it is made wider walls. The presence of the projection may have a negative effect on the term of the base service. While under the influence of natural moisture, basement of the building gradually begins to break down.

Attention! Properly selected tide will prevent or significantly slow down the destruction of the basement and ground floor to protect from moisture.

The apparatus and operating properties tides depending on manufacturing material

The composition includes the following construction elements:

• shelf to be mounted at a certain angle to allow the water flow. Its width - 5-40 cm;
• fixing limb by which the product is attached to the wall;
• Front limb, through which water flows are directed downwards.

To manufacture flashings plinth foundation used various materials which largely determine the performance characteristics of the product. We offer to meet with the main species and their distinctive features.

Concrete - qualitative and traditional solution

For the construction of the building was used brick or natural stone, for finishing is better to use the foundation of the tide concrete. With a solid appearance, similar products reliably protect the base from the negative effects.

They are made of cement M450 having sufficient strength characteristics and frost. Introduction of a small amount plasticizer It improves flexibility and water resistance, and a certain amount of the dye - to get the desired color. Perhaps staining facade paint, if not in the presence of the desired color scheme.

In the manufacturing process prepared solution is poured into special silicone mold, which length is usually 3.9 or 6 m. The width of the outflow depends on the geometrical parameters of the cap.

"Concrete tides have a lot of weight, so their installation must be provided even at the design stage."

Polyvinyl chloride - a budget solution

If the facades vinyl siding, Plastic products will be the best option. Ebb of PVC have a similar texture and coloring.

They have a long service life. Not afraid of the impact of natural factors. Waterproof structure allows to reliably protect the substrate from external moisture. However, they have affordable price.

Attention! Increased fragility of cheap products could cause their premature destruction.

Metal - strength and dependability

Metal products have high strength and are distinguished by a long service life. It may be made of steel, copper and aluminum. Recent great demand because they have lower weight compared to steel products. Copper are of limited use because of the high cost.

metal drips are presentable appearance, easy to install and are not afraid of impact. Their length is about 2 m and may have a width of 5-30 cm. For making use of 1 mm thick sheets. May have a different color.

Clinker - a clear demonstration of status

If used for facades expensive clinker tiles, Reflux must be made of the same material. That can be purchased together with the base material.

Attention! Due to the greater weight of castings from clinker to plan their installation should be at the stage of designing and assembling to professionals.

Choosing ebb for the cap of the foundation - the recommendations of our editorial

Installation of low tide is performed at the final stage of finishing the foundation. It allows you to visually separate the wall from the carrier side of the building. When choosing a suitable option, be aware that the tides have not only protective, but also decorative. On this basis, they should be the same color as the walls or basement at home. It is also possible choice of contrasting products.

Attention! At home from a bar it is preferable to install metal products. For plinth foundation structures of the blocks and bricks can use any low tides.

When considering one, pay attention to:

• the thickness of the material from which the product is made;
• structure homogeneity;
• maintainability;
• weight elements;
• geometric parameters of the product, pre-defining the length and width of ebb tide. To the estimated length necessary to add 10%, which is lost when forming angles;
• product configuration, which should follow the shape of the cap;
• state of the protective and / or decorative coating, if any;
• the installation requirements.

Attention! If ebb for the cap has a low cost, most likely, his life is limited.

Installing low tide plinth foundation

If you decide to perform the installation on their own, are kindly requested to meet with the order of execution of works. Following our recommendations, you will be able to securely attach the ebb and protect the basement foundation from external influences.

"Installation of ebbs performed before finishing or thermal insulation of walls, but after your cap."

Preparatory work

At the preparatory stage, the geometric parameters of the product, as well as the condition of the substrate is tested, to which it is attached. Existing defects should be completely removed prior to installation. Wooden base should be treated with antiseptic.

If facade Building wet or without lining, should eliminate irregularities, and then recapture via horizontal filaments impregnated with a coloring composition. In ventilated facade battens must be installed racks, which is carried out corresponding to the horizontal line.

Attention! Horizontal should match the highest point of the cap.

Disadvantages are eliminated on the plinth surface. Cracks and seams are sealed using a building sealant or mastic. Projecting the foundation portion is given a bias in the 10-15 °.

To perform the installation work should be prepared:

• silicone sealant;
• grinders or tin snips;
• measuring tool;
• Drill or punch. The first tool is relevant for wooden structures, The second - for brick and concrete;
• fastener, suitable for a particular base.

Step by step instructions for mounting tide

The wall or guide can act as a reference plane for reflux foundation plinth. Consider the steps how to perform the installation in both cases.

To the wall

If the supporting surface protrudes house wall, installation work is performed in the following sequence:

Illustration	Procedure
	Prepare elements of the future timetable for the foundation plinth, cutting them to size and cutting excess fragments.
	Putting a trained elements to the installation place to ensure compliance geometric parameters.
	Handle the ends of the horizontal element and silicone sealant. The composition can also be applied on top of the shelf member.
	Fasten with screws protection. Sealant from the front straps must always be removed.

To guide

If the support surface are the guides of a ventilated facade, the order of the installation work is somewhat different.
