Watch beautiful sunsets every day
If the East-facing apartment brings the opportunity to welcome the sunrise, the West-facing apartment allows homeowners to enjoy brilliant sunset moments at the end of the day. When the afternoon sunlight penetrates through the window frame, the whole room is covered in warm yellow, creating a relaxing and emotional space.
The transition between light and darkness at the end of the day brings a feeling of peace, helping many people easily relax after stressful working hours.
Longer sun exposure time
Compared to east-facing apartments, where sunlight usually appears from early morning and gradually decreases after noon, west-facing apartments receive sunlight later but last until the end of the day.
Although the morning sunlight is milder, in terms of total lighting time, West-facing apartments are often more advantageous as they still get sunlight in the afternoon and at sunset. Thanks to that, the living space can be warmer in the cold season and limit the feeling of humidity.
Reduce the risk of mold
The condition of seepage or mold first of all depends on the construction quality and waterproofing ability of the project. However, abundant sunlight is also a factor that helps keep the interior space drier.
With the long sunshine in the afternoon, the walls and areas near windows have better drainage conditions, contributing to limiting the development of mold. At the same time, the West-facing apartment is also less directly affected by prolonged rains in some areas, helping to reduce the risk of moisture accumulation in the house.
Thanks to these advantages, West-facing apartments not only bring a living space with plenty of natural light but can also improve the quality of the living environment if designed and treated with appropriate heat protection.
