Solar shading starts with the design
Planning a villa, renovation or terrace on the Costa Blanca? Involve Port of Altea in the first decisions about the façade and outdoor space. Based in La Nucía, we provide advice, measuring, supply and installation of screens, pergolas and sliding glass walls.

Start with the façade orientation
The sun’s path, the use of each room and the views all help shape the solution. These are the first considerations for a Mediterranean design.
South
High summer sun. Match the depth of an overhang or pergola to the façade and consider the winter light you want to admit.
West
Low afternoon and evening sun. Include vertical screens for glazing and the open sides of a terrace.
North
Less direct sunlight. Start with daylight, privacy and glare; also check early and late summer sun.
We assess each location individually: neighbouring buildings, glazing, wind exposure and how the space is used also matter.
Design the façade and terrace together
Screens for glazed façades
Allow space for the cassette and guides, wiring and maintenance access. Choose fabric and controls around light, privacy and views.
Explore screens →Pergola with vertical screens
Combine overhead shade with protection from low side sunlight. Coordinate columns, fixings, power and drainage early.
Explore pergolas →Pergola with sliding glass walls
Add transparent shelter. Plan tracks, panel parking space and drainage alongside ventilation and shading: glass alone does not keep out solar heat.
Explore sliding glass walls →Technical information for your design
Start with the official Saxun documentation. We discuss the configuration and connections that suit your project. Dimensions and suitability are checked before ordering.
