Custom sunshades Costa Blanca – shade and comfort on your terrace

Awnings are the solution to create shade on your terrace, balcony, or by sliding doors.

In the climate of the Costa Blanca, this is not a luxury but essential.
Without sun protection, a terrace quickly becomes too hot to use comfortably.

With an awning, you immediately create a pleasant outdoor space, protected from the bright sun.


Why an awning is indispensable in Spain

The sun in Spain is intense and long-lasting.

Without protection:

  • your terrace heats up quickly
  • sitting outside is hardly comfortable
  • heat also comes inside through windows and doors

Awnings block direct sunlight and provide shade exactly where you need it.

Especially for terraces and large sliding doors, this makes a big difference.

Advantages of awnings

Awnings combine comfort with flexibility:

  • create direct shade on your terrace
  • ensure a cooler outdoor space
  • reduce heat entering through windows
  • fully fold in and out
  • available with manual or electric operation

For extra comfort, systems are available with:

  • wind and sun sensors
  • remote control or app control
  • integrated lighting

What types of awnings are there?

There are different systems, depending on your home and use:

Folding-arm awnings

  • ideal for terraces
  • free space under the awning
  • modern and sleek

Drop-arm awnings

  • perfect for windows
  • compact solution
  • good protection against direct sunlight

Marquises (classic)

  • protection from multiple sides
  • characterful appearance
  • ideal for traditional homes

We always recommend the type that best suits your home, location, and use.


When do you choose an awning?

Awnings are the right choice when you:

  • want to cool a terrace or balcony
  • want to create shade by sliding doors
  • want to sit comfortably outside

Awnings vs other sun protection

Each solution has its own function:

  • Awnings → shade for outdoor space
  • Screens → keep heat out, visibility remains
  • Roller shutters → full closure and insulation

In many cases, a combination of solutions is most effective.
