Of the four cardinal points, the northern exposure is not the most appreciated. And for good reason: there is no sun in the north!
To qualify this view, it should be remembered that natural lighting is not just about sunlight. The most important aspect of daylighting is daylight. This light from the sky is present in all directions, including the north and even without sunlight.
This light component of the northern exposure is used for industrial buildings. In workshops, the glare of the sun is a nuisance for work. The famous sheds are characteristic of factory towns like Roubaix and Tourcoing. The huge sloping windows of the sheds face north. The English even speak of “North Facing Lighting”. The advantage of north-facing openings is the constancy of natural light. It provides stable and homogeneous lighting without glare.
You can enjoy your home despite its northern exposure. Rather than moving, why not improve the natural lighting? It is now easy to gain natural light in your home. Even with a northern exposure, the Window Light Reflector makes a big difference. Accessible and easy to install without any work, the Light Reflector illuminates your interior by reverberating the ambient light in your living space. Efficient, it means 50% more natural light in your home, even without sunlight and especially with a northern exposure.
