Buying a house is like looking for a partner, no matter how satisfied you are, your parents will always be able to find millions of reasons to dislike it after visiting it.

For example, the house lighting is not good, the north and south is not permeable, the pattern is not reasonable,......, especially when you buy the west side of the household, more parents are not treated.

What is the matter with the disliked ‘West Sun House’?

The disadvantages of not doing any protection measures for the western sun house are actually very obvious in daily life.

House is cold in winter and hot in summer

Due to the west side of the household's lighting time being very long, did not doing the wall insulation treatment, a high temperature days in the house will become a ‘sauna’. In winter, the key to opening the ‘ice cellar’ mode, the happiness index down to the ‘freezing point’.

Accelerated furniture ageing

West sun room for a long time by ultraviolet radiation, will accelerate the indoor furniture, carpets, flooring, curtains and other items fading aging rate, the service life is also greatly reduced.

If that's the case, is it really not advisable to buy a house with western exposure?

Homeowners who have a west sun room know that in the winter afternoon, the warmth of the sun begins to fill the room, very comfortable and cosy. The problem of the house can be solved with money, but the warmth of the winter sun can not be bought with money!

Last week we went to a west side set of the site, the owner of the house said ‘Our home by the outside wall house, a winter will be cold and gloomy, originally intended to be for the children to live, thinking of letting the children live comfortably, it can only find workers to help transform.’

In fact, some problems are not difficult to solve, for fear that you do not go to solve, and finally only ‘no bitter hard to eat’.

Western sun room cold in winter and hot in summer, it turns out that as long as the wall to do the internal wall insulation can be a perfect solution. The so-called internal wall insulation, that is, in the wall on the inside of a layer of thermal insulation material, so that the indoor and outside heat does not pass no matter winter or summer.

Usually the heat dissipation of the external wall accounts for 35%-45% of the overall heat dissipation of the building. Retrofitting the internal heat insulation of the external wall can reduce heat transfer and keep the indoor temperature stable and suitable, which can improve the sense of well-being living experience.

Please note that internal thermal insulation is not necessary for all walls, usually only the outer maintenance walls of the house, generally with the neighbouring walls immediately adjacent to the house don’t have to do.

Take the following north-south house type as an example, painted red line is recommended to do the part of the insulation.

It's not just western sunrooms, internal insulation is recommended in all of these cases:

① The residential environment of the community is more noisy, close to the highway, downtown or surrounded by schools, it is recommended to do. It can improve the overall sound insulation effect of the house, the conditions can also replace the windows and doors with better airtight energy-saving doors and windows.

②It is recommended to do it if the indoor walls are prone to condensation in winter. Condensation will not only cause wall humidity, the long-term impact will even trigger mouldy black walls, decorative materials warped deformation.

③Whether the house is ‘west sun’ or whatever, as long as the house feels cold in the winter and hot in the summer, you can carry out internal thermal insulation renovation to improve the comfort of living.

④For families with a large living area, the bills for air-conditioning & underfloor heating are super high in winter and summer every year, thus it is recommended to do the internal wall insulation treatment. When the thermal insulation of the house is improved, the power consumption to maintain the room will be reduced, and the bill will be less natural.
