Question 1

How do I check if my apartment gets sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Use SunCheck: search your address, then drag the arrow on the map to point in the direction your windows face. The tool instantly calculates how many hours of direct sunlight your apartment gets, including morning vs afternoon breakdown, humidity risk, and seasonal variations.

Question 2

How many hours of sunlight should an apartment get?

Accepted Answer

An apartment with 6+ hours of direct sunlight is considered excellent. 4-6 hours is good. 2-4 hours is fair but may increase humidity risk. Less than 2 hours of sunlight can lead to humidity problems and poor natural lighting.

Question 3

Which direction should an apartment face for the most sunlight?

Accepted Answer

In the Northern Hemisphere, south-facing apartments get the most sunlight throughout the day. East-facing gets morning sun, west-facing gets afternoon sun, and north-facing gets the least. Use SunCheck to see exact hours for your specific location and direction.

Question 4

Does apartment direction affect humidity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Apartments with less than 2 hours of direct sunlight have higher humidity risk. Sunlight helps dry moisture and improves ventilation. SunCheck shows a humidity risk rating for any apartment direction.

Question 5

Can I check sunlight for different seasons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SunCheck shows a season comparison for summer, spring, autumn, and winter. You can also pick any specific date to see the sun exposure for that day. Sun hours vary significantly between summer and winter.
