We have absolutely no heat/sun protection on the house. The builders simply didn’t care about it (year of construction 2005). Therefore, after moving in, we equipped the windows and terrace doors on the south side with pleated blinds. They are visually not too dominant and also flexible and easy to adjust. Completely sufficient for us. Inside the house it is even colder at these temperatures than in the new apartment.
It always very much depends on the conditions and the floor plan. For example, I was surprised that under the sloping roof upstairs it is not warmer than on the ground floor. The reason is probably, among other things, a third gable that shades the roof and the few south-facing windows upstairs. Our living room, with about 15 m² of window area facing south and west, on the other hand, heats up much more strongly during the day without shading.I have three relatively small windows facing south (each about 1.5 m²), which are not shaded. So far I don’t notice at all that the house heats up strongly.
