Previously, Thanh used to live in a different apartment but lower floor. In those days, she often had a headache because the neighbors upstairs had two little boys, running to the late night. Once, she went to the place to comment, the youngest is riding the car balanced and his brother chase me. The parents scolded the two children stopped, into the bedroom. She came down to the house to hear the fluorescent on her head.

When conditions change more broadly by the end of 2015, Thanh decided to choose the highest floor for quiet space. The house on the 11th floor has no croaking from the lower or lower voices, the fresh air, overlooking the open air.

However, when staying for a few months, Thanh began to feel frustrated when he found out that the apartment roof was insulating very poorly. On sunny days, she must also turn on air conditioning. The ceiling fan in the living room to cling to dust because every time it turned on, the heat was coming down to make the house hot and stingy. The days are nearly 40 degrees C, the air conditioning must be to the lowest temperature, cool wind also do not eat.

In the case of Thanh's house, architect Dinh Cong Quynh said: "Most of the newly built apartments have thick concrete, heat resistant, waterproofing better. Especially the penthouse. Thanh's apartment can be built long time or low quality construction so these factors are not respected. Therefore, if you intend to buy a new apartment on the top floor, the landlord should choose reputable investors, limit the purchase of houses in the west hot sun.

According to Quynh, architects may propose to do roof heating if the management allows. If the ceiling is high, Thanh can buy hot sheets, tiles on the ceiling, and then ceiling plaster. In addition, Ms. Thanh should be consulted by architects help ventilation system, help cool wind can circulate between rooms.

In addition, Thanh needs to check out other factors that may cause hot houses. If the house has many large windows, west, the heat is absorbed into the house is very large. Homes previously used in glass, lightning bolts are the most standard but nowadays, there are many modern glass materials that help prevent heat.

Homeowners can use vacuum double-layer aluminum glass doors. Many households use reflective glass to limit the source of light that carries heat through the glass. Currently, Low-E glass has a greater effect in preventing heat from traveling through the glass.
