When buying a house, what you really need to seriously consider are some of the special characteristics of the floors and some negative factors that affect your life. These are the floors that you should even avoid.

1. Equipment layer and the layer below it

The equipment layer refers to the area in the building specially designed for installation and operation of HVAC, air conditioning, water supply and drainage and electrical equipment and pipeline construction personnel. space layer. The equipment floor is generally set up in the basement or on the roof; when the building has many floors, it generally needs to be set up on a separate floor. At the equipment level or the level below it, equipment noise, mechanical vibration, etc. will have a negative impact on the living environment.

When buying a house, be sure to ask which floor the equipment floor is on.

2. The floor below the refuge floor

The refuge floor is the floor used as a fire escape in a high-rise building. Generally, buildings with a building height exceeding 100m have floors specially set up for people to evacuate and take refuge for fire safety.

The advantage of buying a house on the floor below the refuge floor is that there is no one upstairs, so you don’t have to worry about the noise caused by the residents upstairs, which will affect you; and you don’t have to worry about the leakage in the bathroom upstairs affecting your home.

Generally speaking, there will be no problem with the layer below the refuge layer. However, if the developer uses the refuge floor for other purposes or the refuge floor doubles as an equipment floor, attention must be paid to whether it will affect the residents downstairs.

When buying a house, be sure to ask the developer about the specific purpose and setting of the refuge floor to prevent the developer from using it for other purposes.

3. The upper floor of the elevated floor

In some areas in the south, because the bottom floor will be relatively humid, the bottom floor will be elevated, that is, there will be no first floor, starting from the second floor Live people.

The overhead layer has many benefits. It avoids the direct separation between the ground floor residence and the ground, and is conducive to ventilation; the overhead layer provides a place for people to relax and entertain, and some overhead floors are also equipped with simple Fitness equipment; it is not affected by the weather, and even on rainy days, owners can move around in the overhead layer.

However, if there are many people on the elevated floor, it will be noisy, especially if the owners dance square dances in the elevated floor regardless of time periods; if the owners of the community are of low quality and litter in the elevated floor , the property service is also not good and cannot be cleaned and disposed of in time. In summer, the garbage easily produces a stench and affects the living environment.

Be careful when choosing the layer above the overhead layer. If you decide to buy, you must pay attention to the quality of property services in the community and the quality of the community’s owners.

4. Bottom floor

The advantage of the bottom floor is that it is grounded and convenient for travel. However, there are many shortcomings on the ground floor, such as easy theft, insufficient lighting and ventilation, poor privacy, moisture, and relatively loud noise (the impact of pedestrians and unit door noise), etc.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a house on the ground floor, such as whether there is an underground garage to avoid moisture; whether the property services are good and whether the safety of residents' property can be ensured; whether the distance between buildings is large enough to ensure lighting and ventilation and privacy.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for the bottom layer to achieve advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, when choosing a bottom layer, you should pay more attention and treat it with caution.

5. Top floor

The residents on the top floor are relatively comfortable and are not affected by the residents above. At the same time, the lighting and ventilation are good, and the view is also better. However, the top floor is generally hot in summer and prone to leakage in rainy season. At the same time, residents on the top floor rely heavily on elevators, which would be troublesome if there is a power or water outage.

Living on the top floor has higher requirements for the quality and operating safety of elevators. In addition, the most concerning thing should be the problem of rain leakage. If the quality of the house is not good and the waterproofing measures on the roof are poor, then it will be easy to leak during the rainy season, especially when there is heavy rain. A colleague bought a house on the top floor. Every time there was a heavy rainstorm, he needed to take measures in advance to deal with the upcoming heavy rain.

Theoretically speaking, choosing these floors can improve living comfort if some problems can be avoided. However, in practice, it is often difficult to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The advantages of living on these floors are obvious, but the disadvantages are also very obvious.

And these shortcomings are just unbearable. When buying a house, you must be cautious if you encounter these floors
