Window hardware: parts, opening modes, EN 13126 tests, maximum sash weight, micro-ventilation and coastal corrosion, with what manufacturers declare and what to ask the supplier to put in writing.
Sliding or hinged glass curtains, bi-fold doors, fixed panes or framed systems: what each type of terrace enclosure is, what manufacturers state about water, air and noise, and how to choose.
Noise gets in through the glass, the seals, the installation, the roller shutter box and the trickle vents. What actually reduces noise, with test data and no promises of silence.
Minimalist sliding doors and lift-and-slide doors in large formats for villas: how they differ, how the systems of four manufacturers compare and what the Costa del Sol demands.
Many Costa del Sol homes are surprisingly cold in winter. We explain the real physical causes, from walls to windows, and which fixes actually work.
Using UNE-EN 1627 as the reference, this guide explains what really separates an RC2 window from an RC3 one: which tools are used in the test
This guide answers the two questions that come up most often when choosing windows on the Costa del Sol: whether PVC warps in the heat, and whether aluminium copes with salt air. It sets out what EN 12608 and Qualicoat Seaside actually require, compares the two materials on insulation, maintenance and durability, and explains where each one makes sense.
