A glazed terrace is like gaining an extra room: it shelters you from the levante wind, dust and noise, and it works through the cooler months too. Because the panels fold fully back, in summer the terrace opens up completely again, with no frames blocking your view of the sea or garden.
We work with frameless tempered glass curtains, which give the clearest, most open look, and with thermally broken aluminium sliding systems when better insulation is the priority. In each case we measure the opening, assess the fixings and choose the right safety glass for the exposure.
It is one of the most popular upgrades among overseas owners on the coast, because it adds value and makes the terrace usable in winter. We handle the survey, the made-to-measure fabrication and the installation with our own in-house team, coordinating remotely where you are abroad.

The full scope of Glass Curtains works
Every job we take on within this service, with the detail of how we carry it out. The price is always fixed after the survey.
Survey and permissions
Measuring the actual opening
- What we do
- Taking the exact dimensions of the opening before anything is made.
- How we do it
- We measure at three heights and check plumb and level — almost no terrace parapet is truly straight. Fabrication works to the smallest dimension and the difference is taken up in the profile, not by forcing the glass.
Assessing the fixings
- What we do
- Checking whether the parapet and head can carry the enclosure.
- How we do it
- We open up the parapet to see whether it is solid masonry or a clad partition, because the latter takes no direct fixing. Where there is no reliable support we fit a spreader profile bolted back to the slab.
Orientation and wind exposure
- What we do
- Assessing the elevation to size the glass and hardware correctly.
- How we do it
- An east-facing penthouse terrace on the front line takes vastly more load than a sheltered inner balcony. Depending on height and aspect we increase the glass thickness and the section of the tracks.
Community of owners approval
- What we do
- Guidance on the consent needed to enclose a terrace in a block.
- How we do it
- Enclosing a terrace alters the facade, so the community must approve it, and many specify a single model and colour. We tell you what to ask the administrator before you commit to fabrication, not after.
Minor-works licence
- What we do
- Guidance on the town-hall paperwork an enclosure usually needs.
- How we do it
- Most councils along this coast require a minor-works licence, with a specification and sometimes a stamped technical report. We prepare our side of the paperwork and give you the real timescales for your town.
Enclosure systems
Frameless glass curtain
- What we do
- Tempered glass that folds fully away, with no vertical posts between panels.
- How we do it
- Each panel pivots and stacks to one side, leaving the view completely clear. It is an excellent windbreak and keeps dust out, but it is not a thermal enclosure — we say so before you buy it.
Thermally broken aluminium slider
- What we do
- A sliding system with a thermal break for a genuinely insulating enclosure.
- How we do it
- We fit thermally broken profile with double-glazed units and a continuous gasket around the frame. This is what you need if you intend to heat or cool the terrace rather than just block the wind.
Lift-and-slide for porches
- What we do
- Large glass panels for villa porches and garden openings.
- How we do it
- The lift-and-slide gear raises the panel off its track to open, so a heavy leaf glides with one hand and seals as it drops. It is the answer when the opening is wider than a conventional slider can carry.
Fixed or opening roof over the enclosure
- What we do
- Closing off the opening above so the terrace becomes a full room.
- How we do it
- We finish with a fixed glass or insulated panel roof, or coordinate with a louvred pergola if you want to keep opening up in summer. The roof-to-enclosure junction is sealed with a profile and a drip throwing water outwards.
Glass curtain above a balustrade
- What we do
- A partial enclosure over the existing parapet to cut the wind without closing in.
- How we do it
- We fit only the upper panel above the railing, leaving the facade below untouched. In many communities this is the version that does get approved when a full enclosure will not pass the owners meeting.
Glass, hardware and weathertightness
Tempered safety glass
- What we do
- Glass sized to the height and exposure of each terrace.
- How we do it
- We always use toughened glass, which breaks into blunt granules rather than shards. On upper floors and front-line properties we increase the thickness, and where there is a fall risk we specify laminated as well as toughened.
Salt-resistant hardware
- What we do
- Rollers, tracks and hinges built for the sea air.
- How we do it
- Salt eats ordinary hardware within a couple of years right on the beach. We fit stainless steel and anodised aluminium, and show you the fresh-water rinse that keeps the panels running smoothly.
Tracks, brushes and gaskets
- What we do
- The parts that make an enclosure slide sweetly and keep water and dust out.
- How we do it
- The bottom track is drilled to drain outwards — without those holes it becomes a bathtub in the first heavy rain. Brushes and gaskets are consumables we replace at servicing.
Perimeter frame sealing
- What we do
- A weathertight joint between the enclosure and the existing structure.
- How we do it
- We seal with neutral-cure silicone over backer rod, never buttered straight against the brickwork, so the joint can move. Aluminium on a south-facing terrace shifts several millimetres between night and midday.
Locks and security
- What we do
- Securing the enclosure when the property sits empty for long spells.
- How we do it
- We fit a keyed lock to the access panel and security stops in the track. It is the first thing owners ask about when they only visit a few weeks a year.
Fitting, adjustment and upkeep
Made-to-measure fabrication
- What we do
- Manufacturing the enclosure to the dimensions taken on your terrace.
- How we do it
- Nothing is off the shelf: every panel is cut to your actual opening. That is why fabrication takes weeks while the fitting itself is done in a day or two.
Fitting with no subcontractors
- What we do
- Installation by our own technicians.
- How we do it
- The team that measures is the team that fits, so there is no passing of blame if a dimension is out. We protect the floor and railing and take all the packaging away with us.
Panel alignment and glide
- What we do
- Commissioning every panel before handover.
- How we do it
- We adjust roller by roller until each panel opens with one finger and they all close in line. A panel that rubs will scratch the glass and wear the track out.
Water-tightness test
- What we do
- Checking the enclosure does not let water in under wind-driven rain.
- How we do it
- We hose the panels to simulate driving rain, which is exactly how water arrives here on a levante. We go back over the sealing and drainage until the terrace stays dry inside.
Servicing and replacement parts
- What we do
- Periodic checks of the glide, the brushes and the seals.
- How we do it
- We clean and lubricate the tracks, renew brushes and replace silicone degraded by UV. For non-resident owners we schedule the visit between stays and send a photo report.

Glass Curtains: frequently asked questions in Alicante
How much does it cost to enclose a terrace in glass in Alicante?
The price depends on the linear metres of the opening, the chosen system (glass curtains or aluminium sliders), the type of glass and how tricky the fixings are. Every terrace is different, so we fix the price after measuring. Request a free, no-obligation quote.
Do glass curtains keep the cold out?
Frameless glass curtains block wind, noise and dust very well and raise the temperature on the terrace noticeably. For stronger thermal insulation we recommend thermally broken aluminium sliders. We advise you based on how you want to use the space.
Do I need permission from the community?
Enclosing a terrace usually needs the agreement of the owners community and, in many towns, a minor-works licence. We explain the paperwork that is typically required and can help you handle it so everything is properly in order.
Do they open fully in summer?
Yes. Both glass curtains and sliding systems fold and stack to one side, leaving the terrace almost fully open in summer. So you get an enclosed room in winter and a completely open terrace during the warm months.
Will the glass cope with coastal wind?
Yes. We use tempered safety glass and hardware designed for spots exposed to wind and sea breeze. We size the glass thickness and the fixings according to the orientation and height of each terrace so it stands up to the conditions.
