Types and characteristics

Facade siding from the Alta-Profil company is represented by the following series:

  • Alaska. The peculiarity of the panels in this series is that they comply with Canadian standards (rather strict), and Pen Color (USA) took over the control of the production process. The result is a material that meets European quality and safety requirements. The color palette has 9 shades.
  • "Block house". Vinyl siding of this series imitates a rounded log. Moreover, the imitation is so accurate that it is discernible only upon closer inspection. The elements are available in 5 colors.
  • Kanada Plus series. Siding from this series will be appreciated by those who are looking for panels of beautiful shades. The elite series includes plastic profiles of various colors, produced in accordance with the standards adopted in Canada. The most popular are the collections "Premium" and "Prestige".
  • Quadrohouse Series Is a vertical siding characterized by a rich color palette: profiles are bright with a glossy sheen. Such panels allow you to visually "stretch" the building, to obtain an original cladding.
  • Alta Siding. Panels of this series are distinguished by traditional production, classic size and color scheme. It is this series that is most in demand. Among other advantages, they are distinguished by increased color fastness, which is due to the use of special dyeing technologies.
  • In addition to vinyl panels, the manufacturer produces their more durable counterpart based on acrylic. Separately, it is worth highlighting strips for finishing with increased insulating characteristics, which is achieved due to the peculiarities of production (they are based on foamed polyvinyl chloride). They imitate wooden surfaces and are intended exclusively for horizontal installation. The series is called "Alta-Bort", the appearance of the panels is "herringbone".
  • In addition to the front siding, a basement siding is produced, which is characterized by increased strength and dimensions that are convenient for installation. The main purpose of such panels is the cladding of the basement of the building, which is more prone to freezing, moisture, mechanical damage than others. The service life of the material is 30-50 years.

Siding profiles can be painted or imitate a specific surface.

The most popular are several textures.

  • Facade tiles. Imitates a tile with thin bridges between tiles, which are square and rectangular.
  • Canyon. According to its external characteristics, the material is identical to natural stone, resistant to low temperatures, ultraviolet rays.
  • Granite. Due to the rather rough surface, an imitation of natural stone is created.
  • Brick. Imitation of classic brickwork, aged or clinker version is possible.
  • "Brick-Antik". Imitates antique material. The bricks in this version are slightly longer than in the "Brick" series. They can have an aged look, deliberate violation of geometry.
  • Stone. The material is similar to the "Canyon", but has a less pronounced relief pattern.
  • Rocky stone. This finish looks especially impressive on large areas.
  • Rubble stone. Externally, the material is similar to cladding with large, untreated cobblestones.

Sizes and colors

The length of the Alta-Profil panels varies between 3000-3660 mm. The shortest are the profiles of the Alta-Board series - their dimensions are 3000x180x14 mm. The rather large thickness is due to the fact that the panels have high thermal insulation properties.

Additional elements

For each series of panels, its own additional elements are produced - corners (external and internal), various profiles. On average, any series has 11 items. A big advantage is the ability to match the color of the additional panels to the shade of the siding.

All components for siding brand "Alta-Profile" can be divided into 2 groups.

  • "Alta-complete set". Includes siding hardware and vapor barrier foils. These include elements for attaching siding, insulating materials, lathing.
  • "Alta decor". Includes finishing elements: corners, planks, platbands, slopes.

Additional elements also include soffits - panels for filing cornices or finishing the ceiling of verandas. The latter can be partially or completely perforated.

Mounting

Installation of siding panels from "Alta-Provil" has no peculiarities: panels are fixed in the same way as any other type of siding.

First of all, a wooden or metal frame is installed along the perimeter of the building. By the way, among the brand's products you can find a special plastic crate. Its advantage is that the structure is sharpened for Alta-Profil panels, that is, the fastening of the siding will be convenient and fast.

Bearing profiles are attached to the crate. Then the markings are made for the installation of U-shaped metal brackets. The next step is to install brackets and lintels, design corners and slopes. Finally, in accordance with the proposed instructions, PVC panels are mounted.

Siding does not load the foundation of the building, as it is suitable even for cladding a dilapidated house, without requiring the strengthening of the foundation. It can be used for full or partial cladding, highlighting certain structural elements. Thanks to the presence of a large collection of additional elements, it is possible to revet even buildings of bizarre shapes.

Care

Special care of the siding during operation is not required. As a rule, surfaces self-cleaning during rains. This is especially noticeable on vertical siding - water, without encountering obstacles in the form of grooves and protrusions, flows from top to bottom. When dry, the material does not leave stains and "tracks".

If necessary, you can wash the walls with water and a sponge. or use a hose. In case of heavy dirt, you can use your usual detergents - neither the material itself, nor its shade will suffer.

Siding surfaces can be cleaned at any time as they become dirty.

Reviews
