A modern fashion trend in decoration has appeared – facade tiles. Finishing the facade of the house with its help is inexpensive, it is done quickly, and the walls look presentable and beautiful. A certain proportion of cement with sand makes it strong and durable. Balconies, loggias are covered with this tile and even exclusive interiors are made.
Increasingly, it is used for the restoration of perennial buildings and decorate new houses in the style of antiquity. Of course, before performing facade work, designers calculate the additional load and choose the weight of the tile. It is fastened with a special adhesive solution, and if the facade tile is too heavy, it cannot be avoided slipping. In such cases, holding wire anchors are of great help, but this adds extra labor and increases the cost of finishing.
Modern lightweight tiles for facades are made using vibrocasting technology, and its weight of 1 square meter is only 16 kg. This is an insignificant mass in a number of materials for outdoor decoration. In addition, this tile almost does not absorb moisture, has high heat resistance, due to its porous structure it does not conduct cold well and looks very original. Not all finishing materials have such excellent characteristics.
