Is the exposure of your home important?

There are many factors to consider when choosing a new home, and exposure is one of them. Not only does it determine the price of the property, but it is actually important for your future comfort. Exposure affects the amount of sunlight entering the interior, heating and cooling costs, home maintenance, etc. However, there is no “best” exposure. Each home orientation offers a different set of advantages. Therefore, in this article, we will introduce to you the types of exposures, their pros and cons, to help you make a more informed choice when buying your future property.

Types of exposures

Southern
This is undoubtedly the most preferred exposure when choosing a dwelling. In southern apartments, a large amount of natural light enters, which can hardly be imitated even with specialised lighting fixtures and bulbs. In the presence of good insulation and quality window joinery, you can save on bills in the winter and enjoy a warm and cosy atmosphere. However, keep in mind that the opposite happens during the hot summer days – it is possible that your southern apartment will be more difficult to cool down and you will have slightly higher bills because of this.

Northern
Although northern apartments are more difficult to heat in winter, they also have their advantages. For example, on hot days, you’ll feel like you’re in an oasis in your home and save on high cooling bills. If you are buying an apartment with a northern exposure in a new building, then there is no reason to worry, since modern construction offers high-quality insulation and energy-efficient window joinery that will help maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the year. Furniture is highly important for the comfort of northern rooms. In this useful article, you can get some ideas on how to furnish your northern rooms in the best way.

Eastern
The eastern rooms in your apartment are a balanced option for the hot and cool seasons. The sun rises in the morning when it is not so strong and provides pleasant warmth and light throughout the day. In winter, eastern rooms get more sunlight in the morning and early afternoon, which can help warm the rooms. In summer, eastern rooms can be slightly warmer than the others, but not as much as the rooms facing south. In addition to all this, you can have a great view of the sunrise due to the eastern exposure of your apartment.

Western
It is important to think about the type of exposure of the different rooms in the apartment, if it is wider and you have the opportunity to choose combinations. For example, if you fall asleep late and like a slow wake-up, the master bedroom with west-facing windows will keep sunlight dimmer in the morning and stronger during the day.
