In general, the plinth can not be highlighted at all on the facade, using one material, for example, plastic siding, which is popular today, or finishing brick. If the basement is low, not protruding, does not need additional protection from moisture, this method of overall facade finishing has a right to exist.
Plastering the basement is a very popular option. The main thing is to use facade plaster, which is really not afraid of moisture, for example, terrazzite. Plus, you can choose any color, and the finish is easily updated if necessary. Although it does not last as long as we would like.
The third option for finishing the basement is panels, which today can be easily found in any hardware store. The panels are perfect for finishing the basement in the case of arranging a pile foundation, when the void under the house just needs to be filled with something. But in other cases, this is a fairly popular option, easy to install and well imitating natural stone..
Clinker tiles and clinker bricks cannot be called a budget option for finishing the basement, but it is always beautiful, durable, the cladding process is simple, and repairs are available.
Decorating the basement with a stone is an even more complicated and expensive option. But, if you want to give the facade of the house a particularly respectable look, you should go for such costs.
Exclusive “not for everyone” options include granite or marble base / plinth trim. In this case, the mansion immediately acquires a special charm and looks rich, but the price of a rare natural stone scares off most of the homeowners..
