Your windows might be "sun-burning" your neighbor's house. ☀️🏠

Did you know that modern energy-efficient windows can actually act like a magnifying glass? 🔎
In this video, I’m showing you a concentrated "hot beam" reflecting off a window directly onto the exterior wall.
While this home is brick and can handle the heat, this same reflection on vinyl siding can cause melting, warping, and permanent distortion. This often happens with high-efficiency, double-pane glass that has a slight "concave" flex, focusing the sun’s rays into a laser-like point.
What to look for:
Wavy or "bubbling" patterns on your siding.
Damage that seems to follow a specific path during certain times of the day.
Reflections hitting your house from a neighbor’s window.
If you’re buying or selling, these are the small details that make a big difference in a professional home inspection!
