In Malaysia, many families still feel stuffy and uncomfortable indoors even without air conditioning. In addition to climate factors, ventilation design of doors and windows is also an important factor affecting living comfort. Reasonable door and window configuration can effectively improve air circulation and reduce stuffiness.
1、 Why are Malaysian residences prone to stuffiness and heat?
Malaysia has high humidity and stable high temperatures throughout the year. If residential ventilation is insufficient, hot air can easily accumulate indoors, leading to:
poor air circulation
Moisture accumulation
Indoor odors are difficult to dissipate
Especially in urban apartments, such issues are more pronounced.
2、 How do doors and windows affect indoor ventilation?
Doors and windows are not only tools for lighting and protection, but also the main channels for air exchange.
Reasonable layout of doors and windows can create convective ventilation, helping hot air to escape and cold air to enter.
In residential buildings in Malaysia, the ventilation effect often depends on the opening method and position design of doors and windows.
3、 Ventilation type door and window configuration suitable for Malaysia
To improve ventilation efficiency, it is recommended to consider the following types of doors and windows:
Side hung window: with a large opening angle, it is conducive to air flow
Hanging window: can maintain ventilation even in rainy days
Adjustable blinds: Balancing privacy and ventilation
Sliding door with screen window system: ventilation and mosquito prevention
These configurations are widely used in local residential areas.
4、 How to balance ventilation and waterproofing?
Many homeowners are concerned that ventilation may affect the waterproofing effect. In fact, a professional Malaysian door and window design scheme will strike a balance between ventilation structure and sealing system to ensure safe use during the rainy season
