Well, lucky if your house faces south, so you will not feel hot when sitting on the balcony. Especially when you are in the home environment is still beautiful with trees everywhere, and not too well-traveled motor vehicle.

What if your home balcony facing west? Of course, the balcony will be exposed to sunlight, and it is very disturbing. In addition to the glare, the sun from the west will radiate enough heat rays.

But that does not mean there is no way to resolve it. There are several things that can be done to minimize the heat on the balcony of the house.

1. Use a fairly long eaves. The eaves will block the sunlight. In addition, the eaves will cause shadows that can calm the balcony.

2. Use the grille on the tip of the roof of the balcony. The grille also serves to reduce the intensity of incoming sunlight so the balcony was not too hot.

3. Close the balcony with the grille. The grille is once again “hiding balcony” so it is not too visible from the street. With this cover, you are free to sit there.

4. Use vines. In addition to reducing sunlight, this plant will reduce dust and also greening the home.
