If you are looking for aluminium carpentry in Orihuela Costa, your home is probably in one of the urbanisations that stretch between the beach and the inland area, with generous terraces, communal gardens and open views. It is a rewarding place to live, but also a demanding one for materials: direct sun for much of the year, salty air and gusts of wind that test any enclosure. We are a metal and aluminium carpentry firm based in Torrevieja, a short distance from the Orihuela coast, and we handle everything from measuring to the final clean-up, with service in Spanish, English, French, German and Norwegian.
Aluminium carpentry in Orihuela Costa: homes with their own needs
Orihuela Costa is an international residential tourism area. Townhouses, bungalows, apartments with a solarium and villas dominate in urbanisations such as La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Punta Prima and Villamartín. Many are used as second homes, others as permanent residences, and quite a few alternate between the two over the year.
That sets the priorities: windows that insulate well when the house is aired little, terraces that can be closed in comfort, and security solutions for the periods when nobody is living there.
Which windows keep the heat out and the comfort in?
With so many hours of sun, aluminium windows with a thermal break are one of the most sensible upgrades. The profile has an internal insulating barrier that reduces the transfer of temperature between outside and inside; combined with well-chosen double glazing, it helps keep the house more stable and means the air conditioning works less.
It also improves sound insulation, which is useful if your home faces a busy street or a leisure area. We check the orientation of each façade, because a west-facing living room does not need the same as a bedroom facing north.
Terrace enclosures and glass curtains for urbanisations
In the urbanisations here, the porch is almost another room. Closing it with glass lets you use it on windy days or cooler evenings without losing the light.
- Glass curtains slide and fold back; they are ideal when you want to open the whole front on nice days.
- Framed enclosures with sliding or hinged doors protect better against rain and the sand that the wind carries.
Before designing anything, we measure carefully: in many urbanisations the porches have different widths and heights from the one next door, and a measurement made by eye costs you at installation.
Bioclimatic pergolas for gardens and penthouses
Bioclimatic pergolas are in high demand for villas, penthouses with a terrace and private gardens. Their slats rotate to filter the sun or close completely, and some combine with glass sides to create an outdoor living room. Solariums add a more enclosed roof.
We analyse how it will be fixed to the structure of the house, how rainwater will drain and the effect of wind in your area. A badly anchored pergola is a risk, so we would rather think it through calmly than improvise.
Solariums and penthouses: the sun from above
On penthouses and apartments with a solarium, the upper terrace is exposed to all the sun and wind. An enclosure or a light roof can turn it into a truly usable space, but both need a careful calculation of the anchors and the glass area.
We check the flooring, the parapets and the drainage before proposing the structure, and we tell you frankly what is viable and what is not in your case. If your community restricts work on the roof, we will look at that before manufacturing anything.
Security, insect screens and shutters
If the home stands empty for weeks or months, security matters more. We make security doors and bars to measure, with discreet designs that blend into the façade.
Insect screens let you ventilate at night without insects, and motorised shutters make it easy to close the whole house with a remote before you leave. For owners who arrive late from the airport, it is a comfort you will appreciate.

Overseas owners: deciding without being here
A good share of our clients in Orihuela Costa live in another country for much of the year. For them, the process can be done almost entirely remotely: messages and photos, a proposal in your language, written approval and key arrangements with a relative, a neighbour or the administrator.
If you prefer, the installation is scheduled for when you are at the house and can check the result in person. If not, we send you photos when we finish.
Community rules and timing in your urbanisation
In urbanisations with communal areas, the look of the façades is often regulated by the owners' community. Before making an enclosure or a pergola, it is worth checking the statutes and, where necessary, showing the administrator the design and the colours.
As for timing, those who come for the summer usually ask for a quote in spring; those who arrive in winter, in early autumn. Booking the measuring visit well ahead avoids rushing and gives you more options.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover all the urbanisations in Orihuela Costa?
Yes. We work in La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Punta Prima and Villamartín, among other areas. If your urbanisation is not on the list, message us with the approximate address and we will confirm whether we can make the visit and give you a free quote.
Which enclosure suits the porch of a townhouse or bungalow?
It depends on whether you want to open the space up completely or protect it better from wind and rain. Glass curtains give you an open terrace, while a framed enclosure is more weathertight. During the visit we check the measurements, the orientation and your community's rules.
Can you work while the house is empty and I am in my home country?
Yes, this is very common. We arrange access with whoever holds the keys or with your property administrator, and we work with your written approval. When we finish, we clean up and send you photos of the result so you can check everything without travelling.
Is double glazing with a thermal break worth it?
In homes that are used a lot with air conditioning, it is usually a noticeable improvement in comfort. In a house occupied only a few weeks a year, it depends on the orientation and your priorities. We will give you an honest view during the visit, without pushing you towards more than you need.
