General knowledge

  • Wind loads in coastal areas of Spain

    The Levante in Alicante reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, the Tramontana in Catalonia reaches 120 km/h, and the Poniente in Andalusia blows off poorly secured windows. Coastal areas of Spain experience wind loads two to three times higher than inland regions. Windows designed for standard conditions are subject to drafts, rattle, warp, and fail within a few years. We'll explore which windows can withstand extreme winds and how to choose the right wind resistance class for your region.

    • Solutions for the Northern Regions of Spain

      Galicia, Asturias, and the Basque Country experience 200 rainy days a year and humidity levels approaching 80%. Condensation on windows, mold on window sills, and heating bills of €400 are common in homes with old windows. We explore which solutions will withstand the Atlantic climate, protect against cold and damp, and pay for themselves with heating savings in 5-7 years.

      • Windows for the Mediterranean coast

        Salty air, 320 sunny days, and 70% humidity—the Mediterranean coast demands a special approach to windows. We'll explore how to protect your home from overheating and corrosion without losing the sea view.

        • 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.
