Light as the Focal Point of Your New Construction
A custom construction involves the creation of your own space, of your own cocoon. Having a house built as per your preferences requires thinking about a multitude of actions: land research, choice of materials, choice of a good builder like Calgary Home Builders, the architect, planning permission and, above all, the planning of your future home. Today, many people wish to have their house built to measure. Having a house - spacious or not - in which the light is central is considered to be the best option in the latest construction trends as the natural light has, in fact, many advantages! Choose the exposure and orientation of your custom house A house in which it is good to live is a house in which the temperature is optimal, that is to say a house at room temperature at all times of the year, summer and winter. In order to make the most of light and all its benefits, it is important to think about the exposure and orientation of your custom house. The sun and its rays are at their peak in the south, southwest. So remember to place your living rooms on this side. The bedrooms, bathroom and other rooms will find their place perfectly in the north, where it is cooler. By orienting your living rooms to the south, you benefit from natural light all day long, regardless of the season. Brightness enlarges your rooms and gives them light and warmth. Indeed, by placing your main living rooms towards the south, you benefit both from the light and the natural heat. The sun heats up the space and allows you to save on your heating consumption, guaranteed energy savings! Openings to take advantage of heat and light
To make the most of this light and its warmth, it is essential to imagine openings in your new construction, windows and bay windows will be the key. Glass surfaces such as windows and verandas will help your home to get as much natural light as possible. Choosing your bay windows is one thing, you must also look at the glazing of these windows. Indeed, too thin glazing will cause your interior to overheat during a heat wave. Conversely, it will be very cold there in winter. Therefore, favour quality glazing: high-performance glazing that will reflect heat in winter and prevent it from entering during higher temperatures. Natural luminosity: also a benefit for our well-being If natural light is beneficial for construction, it is also beneficial for its inhabitants. The sun gives us the vitamin D we need, we even note that more than 80% of our vitamin D comes directly from light. Heat and light have real impacts on our well-being, our health, our morale, as well as our mood. In short, natural light is essential in our new custom construction! So bay windows, skylights and other windows, from floor to ceiling, Custom Home Builders Calgary can put them in your home during construction to let the light give all its benefits to your house.
