# Glass curtains in Alicante.

> Frameless glass curtains for terraces, balconies and porches in Alicante and on the Costa Blanca: how they work, opening types and how to get a quote.

## What is a glass curtain?

Glass curtains enclose terraces, balconies and porches with tempered glass panels and no vertical frames. The panels run along tracks, turn and stack to one side, so the terrace is either fully open or sheltered from wind and rain. We install them in Alicante and from Valencia to Murcia, with a site visit and measuring before the quote.

## Which spaces are glass curtains for?

They suit places that need closing without building walls: the glass protects and the view stays as it was. With no vertical frames, from inside you see an almost continuous surface of glass.

- Terraces of flats and penthouses
- Balconies
- Porches of villas and townhouses
- Terraces of bars, restaurants and hotels
- Shops that want to open the front in summer

## Which glass system should you choose?

Three ways to close the same opening. The choice depends on side space, winter use and the width of the opening.

| System | How it opens | When it fits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Glass curtain | Panels turn and stack to one side | You want the opening completely clear |
| Frameless sliding glass | Panels slide behind one another | There is no side space to stack panels |
| Insulated glass curtain | Like a curtain, with double glazing | You want to use the space in the colder months too |

## 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).

## What can you combine with glass curtains?

With a roof or a pergola the terrace is closed from above as well.

## Questions about glass curtains

### How much does it cost to enclose a terrace with glass curtains?

It depends on the size of the opening, the height, the type of glass and the aluminium finish. That is why we do not publish prices: we prepare the quote after seeing and measuring the terrace.

### What are the advantages of glass curtains?

They keep the view free of vertical frames, open fully in good weather and protect from wind and rain when it turns. The terrace gets used more months a year with no building work.

### Do glass curtains keep out the cold?

Single glass curtains stop wind and rain, but they are not a sealed enclosure or thermal insulation. If you need insulation, the option is the insulated curtain with double glazing.

### How do you clean glass curtains?

The panels turn inwards as they stack, so both sides can be cleaned from the terrace itself. (to be confirmed)

### Do I need a permit to enclose my terrace?

It depends on the town hall and the rules of the owners’ community, so it is worth checking before installation. (to be confirmed)

### What are the alternatives to glass curtains?

Frameless sliding glass when there is no room to stack panels, and insulated curtains when you need insulation. To close from above they are combined with a fixed roof, a retractable roof or a pergola.
