    A leak on the top floor can be said to be an old concept. It was often seen in older houses in the past, but it rarely happened in newer houses, so there is no need to worry about it at all. Like Tokai Councilor, the quality of such a house is qualified, and the phenomenon of roof leakage will definitely not occur.

    Many of the old buildings are covered with brick and concrete structures, and even the steel mixing process is average. The top is thin, the insulation and waterproofing are not turned off, and the cold in winter and the heat in the summer are common and almost unavoidable. I also live on the top floor like this, the heating is good in winter, and in the summer it is so hot that I can be a dog, and I can't wait for the air conditioning to stop 24 hours a day.

    Water seepage is considered light and sometimes requires a basin to receive water, similar to living in a bungalow. China's new construction standards require the construction of buildings using ancillary processes. Clay bricks are still used in some other cities, and they have almost disappeared without a trace in Beijing.

    Moreover, the level of technology has been greatly improved, and thermal insulation and waterproofing are no longer a problem.

    Hello answer, I have seen your question, and I am sorting out the answer, please wait for a while The top floor house can be bought, and the residents who live on the top floor, relying on the advantage of the top floor, can not hear the noise of things hitting the ground, without the sound of walking with high heels in the dead of night, and say goodbye to the sound of running water from the sewer pipe, without these artificial noises, life must not be so troublesome. Needless to say, the top floor has a wide view, although some people say that no matter how high you live, you can see that it is not a community. However, the vision is wide and the mood is comfortable, the eyesight is also good, and the lighting is not affected, and there is no need to worry about the spacing between the buildings, and there is no need to pick a special time period for drying quilts in winter.

    The unit price of a house on the top floor is generally cheaper than that of a house on other floors, and buyers spend the least amount of money to enjoy the same services and facilities as other owners, which is obviously a lot of money saved for a whole house. In addition, in order to promote the sale of top-floor houses, many developers will do some preferential activities, whether it is free area or house price discounts, in terms of purchase costs, you can save a lot of money.

    Please pay attention.

    If it helps you, please give it a thumbs up, thank you

    Wishing you life. Happy asking questions.

    What's the harm.

    Answer: The lighting is good, the top floor is unobstructed, and the lighting is first-class. My family is also close to the top floor of a high-rise building, basically the sun can reach half of the sofa during the day, and you can see the sunset for half a day when lying on the sofa in the evening, and each room is also very bright.

    Ventilation is good in high-rise houses, the ventilation when the windows are opened is very good, especially in the case of convection windows, and the air circulation after the windows are very efficient.

    The upstairs is quiet and the upstairs on the top floor is the roof, so you don't have to worry about the noise problems caused by the neighbors' children running and the poor sound insulation of the floor, and the home atmosphere is quieter and more comfortable.

    You can take a look at the advantages and disadvantages, if you plan to live in it forever, it is not recommended to buy a penthouse house.

    There are pros and cons to buying a penthouse, and the two weigh the pros and cons. The top floor has good lighting, is not disturbed by other people's homes, there is a terrace for drying clothes, saving dripping water to the bottom, and it will not fall clothes on other people's balconies due to the wind, especially in the south, it is convenient to dry quilts. Buying a top floor has the benefit of a top floor, and now it won't leak at every turn, so I think the top floor is okay.

    There is an attic that is not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter, there is an elevator to live in the old, the house on the top of the slope is leak-proof, or you just wait to repair the house, another advantage of the top floor is that there is a terrace, there is your own outdoor space, but it is not necessary.

    It is more convenient to dry quilts and dry clothes on the roof; Finally, there is the problem of waterproofing, with many years of construction experience accumulation, regular developers still attach great importance to the quality of waterproofing on the roof, because once the top floor leaks, the trouble brought to them is also quite large. The water must be discharged. Unfortunately, there was a leak in a corner of my bedroom, which was not very serious, but it affected my mood.

    I am not afraid of light rain, because I only have one drainage outlet in the whole appearance, and heavy rain and heavy rain cannot drain it, which will cause water accumulation. With the current construction technology, you can rest assured, I now live on the top floor of the west building (90 years bought), some rumors on the Internet that the top floor is leaking, cold in winter, hot in summer, I don't feel it, more than ten years have encountered two or three elevator failures. **There are certain advantages over other floors.

    And they do have a need for funds.

    If the property allows or other residents have no opinions, the rooftop upstairs can be appropriately used for planting, drying goods, private gardens, etc., and you can have a small gathering of three or five confidants in your spare time. Due to the alternation of seasons, one cold and one hot, there will be cracks in a few years, so it should be repaired frequently. In addition, it is very troublesome for the elderly to live on the top floor, and it is not good to heat the top floor and the side building in winter.

    A little superficial. There are also many benefits of the top floor, when decorating, the designer can play the greatest possible role, because the top floor does not have to worry too much about load-bearing, and many low floors can not be smashed on the top floor of the wall; In addition, the view and scenery from the top floor are also the best in the whole building.

    First of all, let's talk about the lowest structural layer, which refers to the layer of concrete cast-in-situ floor slab. When I was a child, I also saw the master of the house builder going up to the floor. This floor plays a vital role in waterproofing the top floor.

    Normally, the thickness of the general indoor floor slab is 10 cm, and the thickness of the roof needs to reach 12 cm, which does not play a role in waterproofing at all. In order to truly achieve the function of waterproofing, the concrete floor layer on the top floor must reach more than 25 cm. There are very few developers who can actually meet this requirement.

    Secondly, it is the middle layer insulation layer, which mainly plays the role of heat insulation and heat preservation, and of course, it must also have the function of waterproofing. However, if the insulation layer is infiltrated and eroded by the rainwater on the surface, and because the thermal conductivity of the rainwater is higher than that of the insulation material, and because the rainwater infiltrated is covered by a membrane layer in the middle layer and the surface, it is difficult for the water to evaporate, and the performance of the insulation layer will be damaged for a long time, and finally the life of the insulation layer will be greatly reduced.

    Finally, because the top is laid with asphalt membranes. Due to the size limitation of the membrane itself, when the top layer is laid in a large area, it is inevitable that there will be splicing, so once the splicing is not treated well to produce gaps, it is easy for rainwater to seep through the gaps on rainy days. In essence, the waterproof effect of the asphalt membrane is very good, and there is no major problem in 20 years, so this requires that the asphalt membrane splicing on the surface layer should be treated well during construction to ensure that there are no gaps.

    Advantages of the penthouse The penthouse also has his merits. Since it's on the top floor, so,Generally speaking, there is a terrace on the top floor, which is very good, you can make a private garden, raise flowers, and grow grass.

    Another advantage of the top floor house may be its **, the top floor house will be very different from other floors, so this is a great advantage of the top floor.

    When we buy a house, most of us think about ** first. If the ** of the penthouse is indeed very cheap, within the range of what we can afford, I personally think it can be bought.

    When buying a house on the top floor, we must go to the field to see the specific situation of the house. It's like having to know what the roof is, is it a machine house or a flat roof? Or is there an overhead layer? Or is it directly a flat roof.

    Personally, I think that the house on the top floor can actually be bought, generally speaking, the leakage of this roof, as long as it does not appear when you buy it, it will generally not appear in the leakage within ten years. As for ten years from now, maybe we'll change houses again. I think if it's appropriate, it's still okay to think about it.

    It is not recommended to buy a house on the top floor, the house on the top floor has the trouble of water leakage, the top floor waterproof has been relatively perfect, as long as it is a house developed by a regular developer, if it does not leak at the beginning, the probability of water leakage will be relatively small in the future. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, because if the top floor is not well insulated, it will be hot in summer and cold in winter, and it will develop the habit of only moving in one room. It's hard to climb the stairs, and there is no problem for young people to climb the stairs, but they also develop the problem of not wanting to go downstairs when they go upstairs.

    The elevator room will be better, but the waiting time for the elevator will be longer, and it will be more troublesome once the elevator breaks.

    Penthouse house.

    At present, I have lived in a high-rise penthouse for four years, the house was built around 2010, and there are currently sporadic leaks, mainly in the rainy season, after last year's property maintenance, this year's rainy season did not leak.

    Pros of a penthouse house:Good view, stand by the window, and see that it is clear in either direction. Low noise and quiet.

    There is no one upstairs, so you don't have to worry about encountering strange neighbors. Good ventilation, open the window, the wind is swishing, don't worry about ventilation, in the hot summer, open the window, natural fan, electric fan are saved. The floor height is good, the floor height of the meter, and there are meters behind the floor ceiling.

    **Low, 500 cheaper than other floors, 5500 on the top floor, 6000 per square meter for the other floors.

    Disadvantages of a penthouse house:Rain leakage, a must-have item for living on the top floor. As long as it rains in the local area and you stay long enough, you will usually encounter the problem of rain leakage on the top floor.

    But this problem depends on the waterproofing treatment of the house, usually the probability of water leakage in the house with roof tiles is lower, and it is only a matter of time before the house that only does membrane waterproofing leaks. The lower floors are hot in the summer. In the past, the top floor is hot because the top floor is not insulated, and the temperature is high after the roof is exposed to the sun in summer, and now the top floor has thermal insulation, and the heat insulation will be much better, but the hot air rises, the cold air sinks, and the high floor is usually hotter than the lower floor.

    And the high floors have plenty of sunshine, with warm sunshine in winter and scorching sun in summer.

    Advice on buying a house on the top floor

    The main reason why high-rise penthouse houses are not popular in the market is that the roof leaks rain and the roof insulation is poor. If these two points are done well, there is basically no problem. There is also a problem with climbing stairs in multi-storey penthouses.

    The penthouse can be purchased, depending on the condition of the house:

    1. If the insulation of the house is poor, or there is no insulation, the old community, and the step building without the elevator, this kind of top floor is not recommended to buy. Because of the high repair cost, it is inconvenient to go up and down the stairs.

    2. The top floor of the newly built house can be purchased, because there is a 5-year warranty period for waterproofing, and the new house property is willing to actively deal with housing problems and can make money from the developer. Usually the newly made waterproofing will be used for about 10 years, and if there is a rain leak in the later stage, the house maintenance ** will be used for repair.

    3. When buying a second-hand house, you usually do not buy the top floor, unless the new house has just been renovated and the age of the house is less than 5 years. Because the house is old, there will be more problems with roof leakage.

    In addition, the property rights are not clear, or there are property rights on other floors, only the top floor has no property rights, do not buy it, it may be illegal construction by the developer. Houses built before 2005 are not purchased because there may not be roof insulation.
