Why people choose us in Alicante
Alicante city is where we have our workshop, our office and most of our live job sites. From the historic centre under Santa Bárbara Castle to Cabo de las Huertas, we know every neighbourhood, the Heritage Office colour restrictions and the typical issues of each building type.
We cut Aluplast and Salamander profiles in our own facilities within Alicante's municipal boundary. Zero-kilometre delivery: up to 3 days faster than any competitor shipping in from Valencia or Madrid.
We know the colour requirements imposed by Alicante City Council on façades in the Casco Antiguo, Centro Tradicional and the castle area: specific RAL codes, profiles with wood foil and prior Heritage Office sign-off.
Alicante records the highest annual UV radiation on the Costa Blanca. We use profiles with exposure class S (Aluplast Class S) and glazing with a low solar factor to prevent yellowing and overheating on south-west orientations.
We work in blocks across PAU 1, 2, 4 and 5, in Playa San Juan developments and the large buildings along Avda. Maisonnave and Avda. Aguilera. Volume discount of 12-18% and full coordination with the property administrator.
5-year warranty on the profile + 5 years on Roto NX hardware + 2 years on sealing. On-site aftercare: if an adjustment is needed or there is condensation, we are on-site within 72 hours because we are in the same city.
Climate is the decider
Alicante is famous for one of the best climates in Spain: 350 sunny days a year (AEMET station 8025 at El Altet) and an average temperature 1.5 °C higher than Torrevieja. But that same benign climate punishes any poorly chosen joinery without mercy
A window that is correct for Alicante must achieve Uw ≤ 1.6 W/m²K, solar factor g ≤ 0.55 on SW orientations and Class 4 air-tightness.
Local coverage
Free on-site survey within 24 hours anywhere in the municipality. As we are based in the city itself, we never charge a call-out for surveys in San Juan Playa or Cabo de las Huertas.
Your type of home
Alicante mixes listed buildings in the centre, 60s-70s working-class blocks in Garbinet or San Vicente, modern PAU developments and exclusive villas in Cabo Huertas. Each type has its own brief.

Which material suits you
In Alicante city the balance usually tilts to PVC for the centre and developments (better insulation, competitive price) and to aluminium for modern villas in Cabo Huertas / Vistahermosa (huge openings, minimalist design). This table sums up our recommendation after 14 years here.

2026 prices - reference
Indicative prices including VAT and installation. Alicante city has a slightly higher range than the Vega Baja due to higher urban labour costs and community requirements (lift schedules, pedestrianised access in Casco Antiguo). Figures from real projects we closed in 2025-2026.

What comes as standard
Regulatory compliance
Alicante (postcodes 03001-03016) sits in CTE climate zone B3. Every window we install leaves the workshop with CE marking, declaration of performance (DoP) and the full documentation for your ITE building inspection or Heritage Office filing.
Declaration of performance (DoP) by model and project. Without this, no window has been legal in Spain since 2014.
Alicante requires Uw ≤ 2.2 W/m²K for windows in new build or refurbishment. Our products reach 1.1-1.4 W/m²K (class A+), well below the limit.
Profiles carry the AENOR N mark, manufactured to UNE EN 12608. Batch-level traceability for any claim.
For Casco Antiguo, Sta. Cruz and the area around Santa Bárbara Castle: prior approval by the Urban Planning department. We file the application including drawings, photo-montage and RAL code.
Hardware and laminated P4A or P5A glass per UNE EN 1627: 3-5 minutes of resistance to professional tools.
Spanish Association of Light Façade and Window Manufacturers: industry backing on the product delivered.

The team that comes to your home
VentanaCosta does not subcontract: the surveyor who measures is on our payroll, and so is the installer. For Alicante this matters more than anywhere else - every neighbourhood has its community with strict timetables, limited lifts, façade rules and, in the Casco Antiguo, Heritage restrictions that need prior processing.
We have been installing in Alicante city since 2010. 14 years in our own city, 3,200+ homes, zero lawsuits.

Multilingual liaison

FAQ
From signed quote to handover: 8-12 working days of manufacturing (faster than in other cities thanks to workshop proximity) + 1-2 installation days per standard home. If your building is in the Casco Antiguo and needs Heritage Office approval, add 2-4 weeks for the filing.
Yes, but with conditions. Alicante City Council requires the original look to be preserved: specific RAL (no bright white), wood foil (oak, walnut or RAL imitation), decorative Georgian bars if they were there, and sometimes traditional casement opening instead of tilt-turn. We file the whole prior application with Urban Planning, including drawings and photo-montage. Filing time: 3-6 weeks.
No. The whole city of Alicante (postcodes 03001-03016 + San Juan Pueblo) is inside our free survey zone with no call-out fee. As our workshop is in the city itself, the cost of moving the surveyor is minimal and we absorb it.
For a standard apartment in Playa San Juan, PAU or Albufereta: Aluplast 70 AD gives Uw 1.1-1.3 W/m²K - enough. For a main residence on a SW orientation with direct sun (Vistahermosa, c/ Aguilera): 76 mm (5-7% better insulation, which matters with 350 sunny days). For a Passivhaus villa or a very large home: 88 mm with triple glazing. We will advise during the survey based on orientation.
We coordinate with the property administrator, prepare quotes per home type (A/B/C by size), apply a 12-18% volume discount and phase manufacturing so as not to halt the block. In large buildings along Avda. Maisonnave, Avda. Aguilera or the PAUs, we plan by staircase and timetable in line with AGM decisions. It is a regular service: 40% of our Alicante turnover comes from communities.
We accept bank transfer, card and Bizum. Usual schedule: 50% on signing and 50% on installation completion (not before). For larger jobs (Cabo Huertas villas, communities) we split into 3 milestones. If you need bank financing, we can point you to Alicante-based lenders with preferential rates for energy refurbishments.
Yes. We dismantle them, remove them from the building and take them to an authorised recycling point in Alicante (municipal Ecoparc). Removal cost is included in the quote - it never shows up as an "extra" at the end. If your community needs a waste-management certificate for the chair, we provide one.
On the seafront PVC wins in most cases: salt air does not corrode it, it insulates better per euro spent and lasts 40+ years on the Mediterranean coast. Thermal-break aluminium (Cortizo COR 70 with QUALIMARINE coating) makes sense for very large openings and slim-frame sliding systems. We install both, plus mixed PVC-aluminium windows - we recommend the material based on orientation, floor height and opening size, not on a catalogue.
As an installed reference in Alicante: Aluplast profiles, low-emissivity double glazing and Roto hardware. A 50-80 m² apartment with 5-7 windows The cost depends on the number of windows and the scope of the project. Measurement and a written quote are free, with no obligation.
We fit German Aluplast profiles (70 AD and 76 AD) with steel reinforcement and Roto NX hardware - the combination that performs best on the coast for wind resistance (up to class C5), water tightness E1200 (9A) and spare-part availability. For aluminium we work with Cortizo. Everything is CE-marked with a 5-year written guarantee.
Frame and glass: warm water with neutral soap - never solvents, acetone or abrasive pads. On the seafront, rinse the salt off 3-4 times a year. Hardware: a drop of neutral oil on hinges and locks once a year. EPDM gaskets are maintenance-free and can be replaced in minutes if they ever lose elasticity.
It starts with a free laser-measured survey. We manufacture to size and install: a typical home project takes 2-4 weeks from order to handover, with the installation itself done in 1-2 days and no wet works. We remove and dispose of the old windows, seal the perimeter and leave the home clean the same day.
Yes. We integrate roller shutters with an insulated compact box (foam-filled aluminium slats), belt or motorised operation with remote and home automation, and roll-up or fixed-frame mosquito screens - including on sliding systems. Everything is made together with the window, in the same colour and under the same guarantee.
That is their strongest point. With acoustic glazing 6/16/3+3 (Rw 42 dB) we have cut 65 dB of outdoor noise down to 23 dB indoors on the seafront. Thermally, the profiles we fit comfortably beat the required Uw ≤ 2.2 W/m²K and noticeably cut air-conditioning and heating bills.
Replacing windows without altering the opening is minor works: a simple prior notification (declaración responsable) to Alicante town hall is enough. Terrace enclosures depend on municipal rules and your community statutes. We prepare and file the paperwork in both cases.
Glass curtains are frameless tempered-glass panels that fold away completely: the terrace is enclosed without losing the view or the light. The price depends on linear metres, height and glass; after a free survey you get a fixed written quote.
A bioclimatic pergola is an aluminium structure with adjustable louvres that control sun and airflow, with optional rain and wind sensors. Combined with glass curtains it makes the terrace usable all year round. Price depends on size and options; survey and quote are free.
Also available in Alicante
