Glass Curtains for John and Jane in Murcia

Introduction

This project involved the complete upgrade of a large porch area in a beautiful Spanish villa. The homeowners wanted to make full use of the space throughout the year, improve insulation, and create a cleaner, more modern feel that would complement the villa’s existing character. Our team at Masterclass Windows & Doors delivered a full installation of high quality double-glazed windows and aluminium sliding doors, resulting in a bright, energy efficient and versatile living area.

Understanding the Client’s Goals

The owners loved their spacious porch but found that seasonal temperature changes and older single glazing made the room difficult to enjoy year round. They were looking for a solution that would:

• Improve thermal performance

• Reduce outside noise

• Allow better ventilation in warmer months

• Bring in more natural light

• Modernise the overall appearance

• Provide smooth and reliable access to the garden

After discussing their options, the clients chose double-glazed aluminium frames with a sleek sliding door system that would maximise space and enhance the porch’s usability.

Selecting the Right Materials

For this project we recommended our premium aluminium profiles paired with high performance double glazing. Aluminium provides exceptional strength without adding bulk, which is ideal for wide openings and areas with large panes of glass. The double glazing helps regulate indoor temperature and reduces energy loss, a key benefit for homes in the Spanish climate.

The sliding doors were chosen for their smooth operation and minimalistic look. Unlike hinged doors, they do not intrude into the living area or garden, making them perfect for this generously sized but carefully styled porch.

The Installation Process

Our team began by removing the old windows and door systems, ensuring the surrounding structure was fully prepared for the new units. Care was taken to preserve the villa’s original charm while making room for modern improvements.

Once the framework was ready, we installed the aluminium window units followed by the sliding door system. Precise alignment was essential to ensure effortless sliding movement and a tight seal against the elements. The double glazing was fitted securely to provide maximum insulation and long term durability.

Throughout the installation, we prioritised cleanliness, safety and minimal disruption to the homeowners.

The Final Outcome

The transformation was immediate. The porch is now a bright, inviting space that can be comfortably used in every season. The double-glazed windows greatly reduce heat transfer, making the area cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The sliding doors open up the room to the outdoor area, improving natural airflow and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The updated design has also added value to the villa by enhancing both its appearance and functionality. The homeowners expressed how delighted they were with the clean lines, improved comfort and professional finish of the installation.

Why This Project Stands Out

This installation demonstrates how the right choice of materials and expert craftsmanship can completely transform a home. The combination of double glazing, aluminium frames and smooth sliding doors provides long lasting performance and a modern look that suits homes throughout Spain.
