There are pro and con in buying a corner unit, including landed. One can only do little to reduce the heat esp in highrise due to the limitations from jmb.

Turning on the ac is the next option but not a solution in the long run ... you win the battle but not the war.

The reasons why some prefer buy subsale .... can see, can feel, can nego.

Well.... if during initial sales, more units to choose from, as long as careful, then can get something that matches all the criteria.
inclusive the view ( i got friend which the window over look a shopping mall top, cooling towers and other vents), further from refuse chamber, away from lift etc

if sub-sales... hard to find anything that meet most the criteria. yes, risk lower, but if the unit is ideal- not so easy to reach you.
need to spend lot of time and effort. And more-ever, if ideal then the price will sure be higher at sub-sale.

'RiSK' is good enough to turn a dream into nightmare. I took 3 years to find my current almost perfect property.

well... have to balance ba
not all people got 3 years. may be new baby coming out. or kids going to start school etc.
so not all have the luxury to hunt and wait

Also even sub-sale, we cant rule out all risk.
eg- night mare neighbour, new taman development causing main road congested, etc

New construction have to wait 3 years ba ... pay and wait

If baby coming, more reasons have to buy subsale ba.

Nightmare neigbours are applicable to new and subsale.

I'll go for the thermal insulated blackout curtain.

If you already have AC in the room, leave the window closed. Opening the window will cause the hot air / fresh air entering the room via the window opening.

I want to ask, what if I just cover the window and window frame with BB238FR-10 Aluminium Foil Bubble Foil? will it block the conduction heat better? or still the thermal insulated blackout curtain will be better?

i see, then is it that i need to install/paste like 2 cm from the window frame to get the best result for radiant heat reject?
