What material should I use to cover my facade?

The facade of our building or chalet is the image we give to the outside and the one that using concrete materials and glues will protect us from possible problems related to changes in temperature and humidity.

From Azulejos Solá we want to give you some ideas about the types of product for the facade that exist and when we should opt for one or the other. It would be divided between 5 types of coating or at least the most common:

Stoneware

It is what we would call the "material of a lifetime" It is usually the cheapest option, it is an absorbent material but we will have a great variety of designs, from smooth tiles to imitations of stone ... etc. As occurs in porcelain.

Using the corresponding sealing tails will give us a very good result as long as it is not in an area of very sudden temperature changes.

Porcelain

It resists high temperatures and frost, combining it with an appropriate porcelain glue is one of the most resistant options. With porcelain tiles we will have much more variety in designs, even with most of these models we will be able to play using it as flooring.

The best feature is that it is a waterproof material, although if we are looking for something with a lot of relief or with a more natural appearance there will be other options.

Concrete

This material offers us a large number of designs, imitation of natural stone, natural mud ... etc. but normally saving on these. Pieces with great character and relief.

Concrete is an absorbent material, according to designs we can apply waterproofing treatments.

Natural stone

Material with a great personality that undergoes changes over time and weather conditions, since it is a 100% natural product, but with this material we will achieve the most natural and characteristic effect of the stones.

There are products to maintain the state of the stone as well as treatments for wet areas.

Manual mud

The manual clay as well as the stone offers us this natural and rustic touch to our facade, although today, there are pieces that combining their placement can give us a much more current touch.

It is an absorbent material that treating it with certain products we can give it touches of color or shine and even waterproof them.

Finally emphasize that any of these models can also be used indoors as a covering to achieve unique spaces.

We have been working for more than 60 years in the world of reforms and we know that many times doubts arise with the cladding of the facades, we hope that by following our advice you will find the material that best suits your needs.
