Replacing windows in a Spanish apartment takes 3 to 8 weeks from the first call to final acceptance. Common mistakes increase the project cost by 20-40%: incorrect dimensions require rework, and the lack of community approval leads to fines. This step-by-step guide explains how to avoid common problems.
Most window problems arise not from the quality of the profile, but from installation errors—drafts, freezing, and condensation. Improper sealing of the installation joint leads to heat loss of up to 30%, and the lack of a vapor barrier from the inside causes the insulation to become damp and deteriorate. We explore 20 critical installation errors, their consequences, and ways to avoid them.
A full window replacement cycle in Spain takes 3-8 weeks. The key to a successful project is proper preparation and an understanding of the technical processes.

In Spain, the mosquito season lasts from April to October, while in the south, mosquitoes are active year-round. Without protection, mosquitoes, wasps, flies, and moths fly into your home, turning sleep into a nightmare, and mosquito bites are especially dangerous for children and allergy sufferers. Mosquito nets vary in design, mesh size, materials, and installation methods—from simple frame nets for €25 to automatic roller nets for €200. A properly selected net blocks insects, allows for proper ventilation, lasts 5-10 years, and pays for itself within the first season with savings on repellents and a restful night's sleep.
