Architecture has been a part of culture since time immemorial, its masterpieces fascinate and inspire us with beauty, grandeur of forms and details. The facade of a house is like clothing, and today it can tell a lot about the status and tastes of its owners, because the first impression of any building is created depending on how it looks from the outside.
In the formation of the facade, the architectural relief decor, which has a very long history, plays an important role. The exquisite decorations of the buildings have been used for centuries, since the days of ancient civilizations. Whereas centuries ago, architects only decorated palaces, castles, and museums, now, thanks to new materials such as expanded polystyrene, rich finishes have become more affordable.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is shaping the design of many construction projects today. In the 1950s, this material was recognized as the main insulating material, and later it became a powerful tool in creating durable design elements. Its benefits are undeniable!
The latest polymer elements are becoming integral part many buildings, residential and public. They are fixed on the facade with special glue, larger and heavier forms can be fixed additionally.
The individual EPS modules in the design solution can be combined according to style, project features and personal taste. Wherein modern jewelry facades are often exact copies of the original forms of the past, so they are successfully used in the restoration of old houses, architectural and historical monuments, built in different centuries - destroyed and cracked ancient facade decorations can be completely replaced with EPS elements of the same shape and size.
Columns made of polymeric materials are not part of architectural structures in modern construction, they are absolutely decorative. These elements can be rectangular and round section, their sizes and styles are also different. Like classical columns, they have three parts - the base, the body and the capital. In some cases, metal supports are decorated with expanded polystyrene elements or hidden pipes are decorated.
decorative columns
A pilaster is an architectural element that is used in classical architecture to give the appearance of a support in the decorative articulation of walls. Outwardly, the pilaster is very similar to a column, but it is, in fact, a decorative ledge, its shape is not voluminous, but embossed. The pilaster parts are exactly the same as the column parts, they are all sold separately.
Architectural profiles may have different kind and form, they perform different functions.
| Profile assignment | Appearance |
|---|---|
| Facade cornice - the main decorative element of the facade of the building. Depending on the location, this profile can be a cornice between floors and a cornice located under the roof. The size and shape of this profile is selected in strict, modular interdependence. |
|
| Horizontal decorative profiles, whose function, unlike cornices, is dividing, they are used to outline or separate the different levels of the building. |
|
| window sill elements exterior finish that are installed at the base window openings. |
|
| Decorative profiles various sizes and shapes that are commonly used to decorate the edges and corners of door and window openings. |
|
| Profiles to simulate "rustic siding" on the facade. Such rustication will beautifully complement the overall design solution. Can be produced: - laying alternately rustication of various sizes, - laying rust along horizontally, - laying at regular intervals. |

The pediment is found in classical Greek temples, in Renaissance masterpieces and in neoclassical architecture. This element usually has the shape of a triangle, surrounded on three sides by stucco. The pediment field is often decorated with sculptures.
Facade cornices
Arches are structures that are usually semi-cylindrical in shape, they are used as a decorative element above doors and windows, to decorate false windows, between two columns or columns.
These elements in architecture can be called cornerstones, they are installed at the top of the arch or vault. Today, this stone, made from Styrofoam, is used as decoration for gates, doors, windows, ceilings, and more. Keystones are an endless array of decorative possibilities. Their wide range of designs makes it easy to create an elegant and trendy home facade, both modern and classic. Stones made of high quality polystyrene are easy to install. A special coating with quartz makes the part rigid and very durable.
This architectural decor is used to decorate the corners of buildings, using it to visually reveal the reliability and strength of structures. Most often, such elements are made in the form of tiles, the edges of which are made with a slight bevel to prevent the accumulation of water and dirt in the grooves.
Balustrades surround the structures of stairs, terraces, balconies and the like. They consist of a parapet, which is supported by curly posts. Buildings are also decorated with them, creating a special impression of respectability and stability. Often, balustrades are used to provide visibility to support windows.
Balustrades
This is a round or oval element with an ornament, often in the form of an open flower. Rosette is part of the richly decorated facades.
Decorative stucco made of polyurethane foam
Decorative elements under the tree bring comfort and coziness, with their help you can easily recreate the ethnic style.
The modern process of modeling polymer architectural decorations is quite different from what it was in ancient times, but the visual effect is not inferior to the aesthetics of more expensive predecessors. The raw material for the decor, which was traditionally handmade from stone, cast from plaster and concrete, was chosen material with a density of 25-35 kg per cubic meter, filled with gas and having a very a light weight.
The part is formed on a program machine by thermal cutting. Therefore, absolutely any idea can be easily implemented. First, specialists model an architectural element in a computer program, and then it is cut on a machine, taking into account radial mates and the most accurate dimensions. The machines literally copy the designed model, after which a compound with protective properties is applied to the part. Often, the strength of architectural details is already reinforced during production with a mesh that protects the element from any negative influences. Further, the decor is covered with a cement-adhesive layer (1-6 mm) with various fillers and with reinforcing microfibers. It is this coating that protects the decor from UV, moisture, it makes it possible to withstand low temperatures and gives vapor permeability.
Before proceeding with the decoration of facades, they develop a project. For this, a rough sketch is first created, reflecting the actual shape and dimensions of the building. Then the search for an idea begins. Architectural details can be formed from various elements, they must have appropriate proportions and be located so that the appearance of the house changes in better side. For this you can rely on inner feeling harmony or study the proportions of the Golden Ratio. The final stage of the design is a drawing made to scale, it can be made on a computer or manually.
Installation includes three main steps: cutting, gluing and painting.
When ordering elements, you need to calculate the number of meters or the number of pieces of the product, then you can independently calculate the price of the goods. When measuring windows or doors, remember that the length of each rib must be ordered with a margin. All constituent elements columns and pilasters are sold separately and glued together when placed.
Prior to installation, profiles, cornices, moldings and other elements must be laid out in a dry place on flat surface, far away from heating appliances. Parts are stacked on top of each other loosely. Maximum dimensions profiles can be 200 cm long and 120 cm high. The experience and opinion of the craftsmen indicate that the most acceptable choice is profile strips about 50 cm long. Strips of this length are easier to install. Installation of cornices with a length of about 200 cm is more expensive due to the time involved and the need for two people to install.
Profiles are cut at angles in the range of 90-45 degrees. Tolerance + - 5 mm. Straight cuts can be made with a saw, but can also be cut with a knife or a circular saw.
Attention! Facade profiles and expanded polystyrene elements can only be used as decoration, they cannot bear any load on the structure.
Required tools:
Step 1. Preparatory work
Before mounting the elements, markup is carried out on the facade according to the project, using a level, tape measure and other devices. It is best to start installation at a temperature of 5-30 ° C.
Step 2 Clean up
The surface is thoroughly cleaned of dirt and plaster, old paint removed with solvents.
Step 3 Alignment
The surface is ideally leveled with mineral putty for the facade. Then the finishing layers are applied, all cracks and defects are eliminated.
Putties
Step 4. Attaching the decor
Architectural elements are attached with glue, sometimes with a reinforcing mesh that enhances adhesion. Often glue is recommended by decor manufacturers who know the features of their product. Typically a high performance styrofoam adhesive, with high adhesion, is polymer based and is designed to withstand many weather cycles. Today created different types of glue good quality, they are simultaneously used in the construction of thermal insulation systems of buildings, for example, this is Adesilex P9 Mapei.
The master must apply with a notched trowel a composition of adhesive specially designed for installation to the back of the element, after which the architectural detail is carefully pressed to the place of its attachment. For large elements during installation, various fasteners are used. We must not forget that large, protruding elements need to be protected by ebbs.
Step 5. Docking elements
The outer edges of the profiles, if they are joined, are placed at a distance of 5 mm. After 12 hours, the gap left is filled with a solution that is used in insulation systems.
Attention! Silicone should not be used because the paint will not cover it.
Connections of façade profiles with other façade elements such as window sills, flashings or wooden details, always filled with flexible sealant. At the end of the installation, it is necessary to check the tightness of the joints of all combinations of elements, any gap should be carefully filled with a special compound. Irregularities are processed with sandpaper.
After fixing all the elements, a primer is made, and then painted in the selected color, using a roller or brush. First you need to protect the walls around the part to be painted. To do this, use masking tape, which is easily removed after painting. Before work, the surface must first be primed with thinned paint (approx. 10-20% water).
Then the dried surface is covered with paint a second time, using a thick initial composition. The operation can be repeated if necessary.
Some of the organic solvents are capable of dissolving the materials to which they are applied. Therefore, when choosing a paint for polystyrene foam, you need to pay attention to its composition. If you are not sure how the paint will lay down, you can experiment on small piece profile.
White facades are versatile, they are suitable for both modern and classic buildings. White color gives the impression of purity and novelty. The second most popular facade color is all shades of yellow. The yellow facade has a warm, lit character and evokes positive emotions, it is ideal for one-story houses because warm, sunny tones well combined with all the characteristic colors of the roof.

Do-it-yourself foam products for home and interior design, photo and video
Every owner of a house, whether small or large, wants to give it an original and attractive appearance. But often weighty elements require additional strengthening of the supporting structure.
Another stucco is quite expensive and not everyone can afford such a pleasure. You can try to solve these problems by mounting the front decor of the foam with your own hands.
Indeed, decorative elements from this polymer material solve two very important problems at once. The weight of each part is very small and even in total they will not load the wall as much as, for example, plaster molding. And the price of such products is attractive.
But that's not all positive points in the use of foam elements of facade decoration. You can also add:
If it is not possible or you do not want to spend extra money on the work of the construction team, then you can install the foam decor of the facade of the house with your own hands. The main thing is to strictly follow the instructions and not to rush.
The base on which the decorative elements will be attached must be perfectly prepared. So this is where they start:
After preparatory work finished, you should proceed to fastening the elements. Glue is used for mounting. But if the decor is long or a little weighty, dowels are used as an additional fastener.
You can use only glue, but only fasteners will not work. He will not be able to tightly fix a certain area, and the whole structure will not look neat. Yes, and during operation, problems will appear (rainwater leakage under the decor, wind damage, etc.).
So let's get started with the installation:
In the process of decorating the facade with foam elements, you need to remember that everything does not end with the installation stage.
Elements still need to be protected with acrylic paint. And here, too, there are nuances:
Polyfoam, painted in two layers, will be completely protected from external negative conditions and will last a very long time. If desired, the color of the decor can be changed. Acrylic paint is also used for this.

Until recently, facade elements for decoration were made exclusively of concrete and gypsum. Such decorations were heavy and quickly deteriorated from high humidity. In addition, concrete and gypsum parts increased the load on load-bearing elements construction, so sometimes it was necessary to abandon such heavy decorations.
Modern designers use lighter materials for finishing facades. Expanded polystyrene facade decor is easy to install and durable. Unlike wooden and gypsum structures, the material is not afraid of moisture. Compared to stone products, foam plastic is light in weight. By choosing the desired shade in a wide range of colors, you can favorably shade the main color of the building or choose a contrasting finish.

Foam molding can be used for self-assembly. Many architectural elements will help make your home beautiful: windows, window sills, gables, cornices, pilasters, balustrades. Each element of the facade is treated with a special coating, so we can confidently talk about the resistance of the material to external influences. Small decorative elements can change the exterior of the building beyond recognition.
Stages of manufacture and installation:
Since the facade decor can imitate natural materials, then they can decorate various areas of the building. Manifold finish coat allows owners to choose an imitation of stone, wood, plaster, marble. Styrofoam facing stones are used in corner areas. Outwardly, they are no different from granite or marble. Due to the protrusions relative to the walls, a beautiful relief is formed.
Since the installation of decor is not particularly difficult, it is often done independently.
In order for the material to last for a long time, you should know the important norms and rules of work when installing foam plastic decor with your own hands:
The use of various mounting techniques allows you to create optical masonry effects: horizontal and vertical directions, displacement, diagonal. The arrangement of the material vertically gives solidity to the building, and by laying out the elements across the column, you can give it grace.
How to make DIY foam decor

And it was possible to choose patterns according to the sketches of the customer or using a template. However, the manufacture of stucco from such materials refers to laborious process which requires advanced skills.
In the photo, facade stucco
Figured foam plastic materials for the ceiling of a building, which imitate such decorative elements, are today cut out by hand from such dense material as PSB-S-35. The simplicity and elasticity of gluing decorative details for the ceiling - the advantages of stucco molding do not end there. It has a protective coating that is not affected by ultraviolet radiation, does not change its color over time. The final coating makes it possible to hide the stucco under marble or wood.
This element logically completes the upper area of the wall, giving the apartment a classic look, even if there are no columns in it.
Framing door and window openings is a great design approach that makes it possible to hide the hole between the door frame and the wall area. A great helper is a ceiling platband. Of course, the constructive goals of making this facade material is not limited. The use of platbands for the ceiling and walls during the design will give the structure integrity and make it possible to stand out against the whole background. The list of benefits is huge. The ceiling casing protects the building from gusts of wind, visually highlights the opening, emphasizes the completeness of the entire interior and shows the excellent taste of the owner of the apartment.
Rust stones are used to decorate the interior, in particular the corners of walls or ceilings. Rustic is considered art decorative cladding, method, formation of imitation masonry. It should be added that the production of rustic foam stones is a simple process, while the result is a material that looks like marble or natural stone.

Thanks to such stones, you can get a beautiful ceiling relief that protrudes in relation to other areas of the facade. The entire surface is subjected to this processing method, but the contrast of several textures looks most attractive.
Facade decor made of polystyrene foam using rusticated stone is an opportunity to create different effects at once. It all depends on the installation method. Thus, if you arrange the corners of the structure in a vertical position with rustic stones, you get a feeling of unusual strength. If you place them across the column, then it will look like it disappears into the haze, as if ghostly.

The most beautiful and noticeable part of the facade decoration is the columns. They are able to give the building a chic classic look, as well as narrow or expand the walls visually. When purchasing a column, it is necessary to choose the right style for its implementation so that this element of decor does not stand out from the overall design of the house.
This element is usually a decoration of the stairs. If you choose it correctly, you can make the building more neat, pompous and luxurious.

It must be remembered that gypsum is one of the heaviest materials, so reliable and durable fasteners should be purchased in order to avoid various problems.
Similar nuances may also occur with other materials such as artificial stone and concrete.
Concrete has a gray tint, so it loses a little compared to gypsum. If the material is painted, it will need to be repainted every few years.
The artificial stone looks like sandstone and has yellow tones. An attractive texture can attract many, but this material is not good for making thin parts.
One of the disadvantages of concrete, gypsum and artificial stone is that they are difficult to install. When designing the facade, it is necessary to take into account the weight of the decor, since the facade is not always able to withstand any load. If the owner nevertheless chose heavy decor, the foundation and walls should be strengthened.
Polymer lightweight materials such as polyurethane, fiberglass, polystyrene and polymer concrete are the best option for the design of facades. most low price has polystyrene. Various decorative elements are cut out of it, without complex detailing and bas-reliefs. This material perfectly absorbs moisture, so you need to use it where in the future water will not get on its surface. Then it is painted and reinforced with mesh.
