Frameless Glass Curtains on the Costa del Sol
Frameless glass curtain systems close terraces, porches and balconies with tempered glass and no vertical posts, so the sea view stays almost intact. As a direct manufacturer and installer based in Estepona, we measure, build and fit every system ourselves across the Costa del Sol.
Costa del Sol
Glass Curtains, made to measure
Because there are no vertical mullions between the panels, the system runs on top and bottom tracks and folds to one side to open the space completely on good days, then closes precisely against wind, rain and noise.
We size the tempered glass and tracks for the real exposure of each terrace - coastal wind and salt air included - so the system works smoothly and lasts in a seaside environment.
Glass curtains suit penthouse terraces, sea-front balconies, residential porches, and restaurants or hotels that want to extend their open-air season. Each project is made to measure after a free site survey.

No vertical frames, keeping a clean read of the landscape.
Wind & noise
Tempered glass and a precise close improve comfort against coastal wind and noise.
Full opening
The folding system stacks to one side to recover ventilation and open space.
Direct from factory
We manufacture and install with our own team - no middlemen.
Specification
How glass curtains are built
Tempered glass, 8–12 mm
Panel thickness is specified from the opening height and the real wind exposure of the terrace. Sea-front and elevated terraces take the heavier glass; sheltered porches do not need it.
Top and bottom tracks
The panels carry on an upper track and are guided by a lower one, with no vertical mullions between them. Anodised or lacquered aluminium, specified for salt air.
Folding and stacking
Panels pivot and stack to one side, so the opening clears almost completely. Stack side and parking position are decided on the survey around doors, columns and furniture.
Polished edges and hardware
Every edge is polished and the hardware is stainless, which is what keeps the system working in a coastal environment rather than seizing after a couple of seasons.
In detail
What frameless means, and why it matters
In a frameless system the tempered glass panels sit side by side with no vertical aluminium posts between them; there is only a track at the top and one at the bottom. Closed, the terrace reads as one sheet of glass. Open, the panels pivot and stack to one side and the opening is completely clear.
Systems with vertical profiles break the view every 60–80 cm and are the ones communities of owners most often reject, because they change the façade. That is why frameless curtains are the standard on Costa del Sol penthouses with a view. Our frameless glass curtains explained guide goes deeper.
Glass curtains compared with other enclosures
Against thermally broken aluminium with double glazing, glass curtains cost far less and keep the view, but they are not airtight: they block wind and rain without insulating like a room. Against guillotine glass, curtains open fully sideways, while guillotines close tighter vertically.
If the terrace has no roof, start with a bioclimatic pergola and close its sides with glass. The guide to terrace enclosures in Spain compares every option.
Buying from abroad
Many of our English-speaking clients own a second home and are not on the coast all year. The survey, quote, community paperwork and aftercare all happen in English, and parts and adjustments are handled from our Estepona workshop with the same 10-year warranty. Before you order, check what your community of owners requires: our community permission guide explains the usual steps.

Closed, the system protects well against coastal wind and rain. It is not a hermetic fixed wall in extreme storms, but for the Costa del Sol climate it shields the terrace with ease.
The cost depends on the width of the opening, the tempered glass thickness, the number of panels, access to the terrace and the finishes. We survey the space and prepare a tailored, no-obligation quote.
Often it is advisable to request authorisation from the community, especially if the enclosure affects the façade. We provide the technical documentation and recommend confirming your community and town-hall criteria.
