  • Sun-protection technologies for windows: how to avoid turning your home into a greenhouse under the Spanish sun

    The Spanish sun, shining through unprotected windows, turns a house into a greenhouse, driving up air conditioning bills to €300 per month. We'll explore all the protection technologies: selective glass reduces heat by 60%, external blinds are 70% more effective than internal ones, and automatic blinds save an additional 30%. Real-world payback calculations range from 2 to 7 years for different regions.

    • Double-glazed windows and their characteristics: a complete guide to choosing the right ones for the Spanish climate

      The glass unit determines 80% of a window's performance: you'll pay €50 or €150 per month for air conditioning. We explore single-pane vs. double-pane windows, Low-E coatings, argon vs. air, and laminated glass for safety. Specific recommendations for each region of Spain, with calculated payback periods ranging from €800 to €1,800 per apartment.

      • Seasonal window maintenance

        Windows in Spain operate in extreme conditions—from 45°C in summer to salty fog in winter on the coast. Without regular maintenance, hardware jams after 3-4 years instead of 15, seals crack, and drafts and condensation occur. Proper seasonal maintenance takes 30 minutes twice a year but extends the lifespan of windows by 10-15 years and saves thousands of euros on repairs. We'll explore what to do in spring and fall to keep your windows looking like new.

        • How Windows Affect Electricity Bills in Spain

          Windows lose up to 50% of heat in winter and allow heat in in summer, driving up electricity bills by €600-€1,200 per year in a typical Spanish apartment. We'll use the numbers to understand how the right double-glazed windows and frames can reduce costs by 40% and calculate the true return on investment for energy-efficient windows.

          • Windows for different rooms: bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and other rooms

            Windows for each room require a unique approach: the bedroom needs quiet and light control, the kitchen practicality and ventilation, and the bathroom moisture protection. We explore the specifics of these rooms and calculate a realistic budget of €400 to €2,500 per room. Practical solutions that eliminate remodeling.

For technical reasons, we cannot account for these extensions when calculating production times. Due to external circumstances in the procurement of raw materials such as steel, PVC, and wood, the production time of your order may be increased. Please keep this in mind.
