Many believe that the materials that make up its walls provide a long life for a house. Allegedly, a brick house is able to stand for centuries, from logs or lumber for about 70-100 years, and a house based on a framework of mineral wool and drywall will last only 20-30 years.
But experts say the opposite, that the durability of a house depends on how its facade resists temperature extremes, various rainfall, etc.
Modern construction shifts this function to facade systems consisting of several layers, since they preserve the supporting structures and, therefore, greatly increase their lifespan.

Today, the most popular solution aimed at insulating and protecting walls in houses is a facade system with thin plaster. Plates that provide heat, are attached to the wall with dowels and glue, on top impose a reinforcing adhesive base, including glass cloth mesh. Following this, base and decorative plaster is applied. By the way, there are a lot of types of decorative plaster, so the choice is yours. If all components are certified and the rule is mounted, then a durable facade will be provided for at least 20 years.
By durability, and, therefore, by the high cost, the following are ventilated systems. They are an external lining, which is mounted on a metal frame, at some distance from a special insulating material that does not burn. A gap is formed between the frame and the material, due to which moisture does not get into the insulation. Cladding can serve as porcelain, natural stone or mineral tile.
An important condition for the durability of a private house is a closed thermal circuit, i.e. when the construction of the house itself creates a thermal envelope, thereby ensuring a constant temperature. Windows are the main thermal circuits and they need to pay special attention. The wooden window constructions known to all are no longer relevant, as over time they let through all the drafts.
In modern climatic conditions, the best option would be to install PVC window systems that eliminate heat loss.
Practice has already shown that correctly made and installed plastic windows are a comfortable temperature in the house, savings on heating and, of course, a durable facade, since negative temperature factors are reduced.
