# Balcony glazing in Alicante.

> Balcony glazing in Alicante with frameless glass curtains: shelter from wind and rain without losing the view. What to check and how it is installed.

## How is a balcony glazed?

A balcony is almost always glazed with glass curtains between the railing and the ceiling. With no vertical frames the view barely changes, and the panels stack to one side. Insulated double glazed curtains allow winter use. Because glazing changes the facade, many owners’ communities must approve it. The railing usually stays. The quote follows measuring the balcony.

## Which glazing does your balcony need?

A balcony already has a roof: the slab of the floor above.

| What you want | System |
| --- | --- |
| Keep out wind, dust and rain and keep the view | Glass curtains |
| Make the balcony part of the home in winter | Insulated curtains |
| A wide balcony with few panels | Frameless sliding glass |
| A top floor balcony with nothing overhead | Glass curtains and a fixed roof |

## What should you check before glazing a balcony?

A balcony is small, but it is part of the building facade. This is what to look at before the quote.

- The owners’ community: glazing changes the facade, and many buildings require approval or a single model for everyone.
- The railing: the bottom track sits on it or on the floor, so it has to be solid.
- The balcony ceiling: the top track is anchored into the slab.
- The floor drain: it must keep working once the balcony is closed.

## What is the process?

The same four steps for every system, from the first call to installation.

1. **Tell us about your space.** By phone, WhatsApp or the form: what you want to enclose, where it is and how you plan to use it.
2. **Site visit and measuring.** A technician sees the site, takes measurements and checks the floor, ceiling and orientation. Timing: (to be confirmed).
3. **Fixed quote.** You receive the system, materials and delivery time in writing. Timing: (to be confirmed).
4. **Made to measure and installed.** The system is made to fit your opening and we install it at your home or business. Timing: (to be confirmed).

## Questions about balcony glazing

### Does the owners’ community have to approve balcony glazing?

In many buildings, yes, because the glazing changes the facade. Some communities approve a single model for all residents. (to be confirmed)

### Can the outside of the glass be cleaned?

Yes. Glass curtains open and swing inwards, so the outer face can be cleaned from the balcony itself.

### Will the glazing be visible from the street?

Glass curtains have no vertical frames, so from outside you mostly see glass and the facade changes very little.

### Can a balcony be glazed without removing the railing?

In most cases, yes. If the railing is in good condition, the bottom track is fitted on top of it.

### How much does balcony glazing cost?

It depends on the width, the height and the type of glass. We do not publish prices: the quote is prepared after measuring the balcony.
