Is the top floor hot?

The house on the top floor is very hot. Generally, the top floor of commercial housing built now is not shaded, so the house on the top floor will be hot in summer. Generally, the price of a house on the top floor is low, but the cost of turning on the air conditioner on the top floor every summer is a lot of money, which is not cost-effective, so it is better to avoid buying a house on the top floor.

Advantages and disadvantages of the top floor

1, Advantages: The top floor has a wide view and there is a feeling that other mountains are dwarfed. , can make people feel comfortable; Good ventilation and lighting effect, saving lighting electricity in rainy days; Less affected by external noise, relatively quiet, more personal space, good privacy; Mosquitoes and other four pests are less; The top floor is much cheaper than other floors, which can save a lot of money.

2. Disadvantages: Leng Xia on the top floor is hot in winter, and it needs more power resources to use air conditioners to cool down or heat up; If there is a problem with the building quality of the roof, the top floor will suffer first, which is easy to leak water; The water pressure on the top floor is generally low, so it is difficult to climb the stairs in case the elevator stops.

Matters needing attention in purchasing the top floor

1, look at the roof:

Slope roof is a kind of roof design advocated by international healthy houses now, which has good heat insulation and waterproof effect. In addition to the advantages of difficult water storage and effective prevention of water seepage and rain leakage, the thermal insulation level of the top floor house has also been well improved because the slope is partially overhead.

Some buildings also enhance the thermal insulation function of the top floor through roof greening, which not only becomes the green landscape of the community, but also plays a role in heat insulation and cooling. However, this practice requires higher load-bearing and waterproof quality of houses.

2, look at the top design structure and materials:

The taboo of the top floor is poor thermal insulation and waterproof performance, so if you want to buy a top floor, you should pay special attention to the design structure and materials of the top floor. You can ask the developer to provide the relevant design and construction materials of the top floor to see if it meets the building standards. If the roof is not inclined but flat-topped, buyers should pay special attention to the heat insulation of the house, and the main way to judge is visual inspection.

For example, write down the distance from the ceiling to the upper edge of the window in the house first, and then observe the facade of the house. The distance from the upper edge of the window to the roof is the thickness of the upper floor of the top floor. Only when the thickness is at least 20 cm can it have good heat insulation effect.

3, see the water seepage and drainage after the rain:

Rainfall can best test the building quality of houses, especially those on the top floor. It is best to look at the house after the heavy rain. If the building quality, drainage performance, window sealing or wall roof of the top floor are not good enough, it may lead to water seepage in the top floor.

When looking at the house, we should not only see whether there is water leakage on the roof wall, whether there are signs of water returning at the four corners of the window, but also observe the amount of water accumulated on the roof, so as to examine how the drainage system of the whole building is. If the season of choosing a house is dry and rainy, buyers can carefully check whether there are traces of water seepage in the corners of the house and the four corners of the window.

4, look at the water pressure:

Many top floors are high, the water pressure is insufficient, and the tap water flow is small, which affects the ignition of gas water heaters, so we must pay attention to the water pressure problem. Now you can check the water directly on the top floor. For the buildings that have already checked in, you can first find the owner of the top floor who has already checked in to understand the water pressure. If it is a temporary building, the developer should be required to provide information such as water pipe materials.

5, check the fire control facilities:

If there is a fire, the heat and fire will generally rise, so the top floor residents can't ignore the supporting fire-fighting facilities. Whether the fire-fighting facilities are well done is largely related to the property. Therefore, when buying a house on the top floor, we should also pay attention to the quality of property services.

6. The attic delivery standard:

Many top floors have attics and balconies, and there is a big gap between the delivery standards of attics and finished houses in some real estates, and even there is no waterproof and heating. When buying a house, be optimistic about the waterproof situation of the attic or terrace.
