This term is used to describe the orientation of the rear of the home. The types of Rear Exposure are: South Rear Exposure, which offers the most indirect sunlight to the rear of the home and heats the pool a couple of months longer; a North Rear Exposure is the coolest for your home and offers less indirect sunlight; East Rear Exposure is called the “Sunrise Exposure”. The rear of the home is completely in shade in the afternoon; and the West Rear Exposure is called the “Sunset Exposure” and offers the most direct sunlight to the rear, but it offers a great view of sunsets each evening!
