Houses facing the west are often a debate, but who would have thought that this orientation would save a myriad of benefits? One of them is the overflow of afternoon sunlight.

For those of you who live in a cold area, this natural warmth bonus is certainly very meaningful. Imagine, getting home from work is greeted with a warm and comfortable atmosphere at home, perfect to let go of fatigue.

Not only that, the outdoor area such as the yard or terrace of the house to the west will also emit a dusk light. This makes it the ideal location for various afternoon activities, from family gatherings, camping, to just relaxing to enjoying the atmosphere.

Interestingly, houses facing the west tend to be cooler in the morning because they are protected from direct sunlight. This has the potential to save on the use of room coolers, especially in the hot climate.

Selain itu, suasana pagi yang lebih adem juga membuat nyaman, apalagi kalau Anda suka memulai hari dengan jendela terbuka di musim panas.

Then for environmentalists, the installation of solar panels on the west roof can also be a smart choice. Although the roof of the south side is often considered the most efficient, the solar panels on the west roof are able to capture the peak of the afternoon sun. This is very suitable for the pattern of electricity consumption which tends to increase at night, making the west side of the house an attractive choice for home owners who care about the environment.

Behind the advantages, homes with the west also have some shortcomings that you need to consider. One of the most important is the buildup of heat in the afternoon and evening.

A face-to-face house can make room temperature soar, especially in the hot climate, which in the end forces you to turn on the room cooler more often and increase electricity costs. The intense afternoon sun, especially in the dry season, can be very uncomfortable.

Besides being hot, sunlight is also a serious problem, especially if your house has a large window facing the west. This illumination can interfere with activities such as reading, working in front of a computer, or watching television. The comfort of all family members can also be disrupted due to strong reflections of light.

Finally, excessive direct sun exposure can also accelerate the fading of furniture, floor, and cloth colors.

If your family space is exposed to a lot of afternoon sunlight, you may need to take extra steps to protect the furniture from damage from UV rays. This could be in the form of the use of thick windows, anti-UV window films, or furniture rearrangements so as not to be immediately exposed to sunlight.
