Why is the top floor the best?

The top floor has a wide view and makes people feel relaxed. Ventilation and lighting effect is good, and lighting can save electricity in rainy days, which is actually quite good.

Moreover, it is less affected by external noise, quieter, more personal space and good privacy. But the top floor is hot in summer and cold in winter, which consumes more electricity and water resources than the low-rise units in summer. If there is a problem with the building quality of the roof, the top floor will suffer first, which is prone to water seepage and cracks.

How to choose the top floor, buyers should pay attention to "five looks" in order to choose the right house:

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.

2. Look at the top design structure and materials.

The taboo of the top floor is poor thermal insulation and waterproof performance, so buyers who want to buy the top floor should pay special attention to the design structure and materials of the top floor, and ask the developer to provide relevant design and construction materials of the top floor to see if it meets the building standards. If it is an existing building, you can also visually inspect the thickness of the roof insulation layer according to some lines on the top of the facade to see if it meets the requirements of general 20cm ~ 25cm thickness.

3. See water seepage and drainage after rainy days.

If it is an existing building, it is best to go to the top floor one hour after the rainstorm to see if there is much water. This method can be used in spring and summer. If it is autumn and winter, the developer can provide water and pour more water on the roof to see if there is water leakage and whether the drainage is smooth.

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 directly check the water in the penthouse. For the buildings that have already moved in, you can learn about the water pressure from the duplex owners who have already moved in. 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 hot air and fire will generally rise, so the top floor residents can't ignore the supporting fire-fighting facilities.

Precautions:

1. If there are old people at home, you can't buy a penthouse. In case of power failure or elevator failure, the old man can't go home at all In case of fire, it is more difficult to escape from the top floor than from other floors. Generally speaking, fires are caused by rising fire and hot air.

2, pay special attention to ventilation facilities, because the ventilation pipe is on the top floor, all the odor will surge up from the first floor, and the bathroom will also emit odor.
