Glass curtains — known in Spanish as cortinas de cristal — are frameless glass panel systems designed to enclose terraces, balconies, and outdoor areas without the visual obstruction of traditional aluminium frames. Each panel is made from toughened safety glass (typically 8 mm or 10 mm thick) and slides or folds open to provide full ventilation when needed.
Unlike conventional glazed enclosures, glass curtains have no vertical profiles between panels. This creates a completely unobstructed panoramic view — a feature that has made them enormously popular in Marbella, where villas and apartments often have spectacular sea or mountain views worth preserving.
The system can be opened to virtually 100%, stacked neatly to one or both sides. In Marbella's climate — mild winters and long dry summers — glass curtains let you use your terrace comfortably throughout the entire year, sheltering against the wind in spring, warmth in autumn, and the occasional winter rain.

All glass is EN 12150 certified toughened glass, meeting European safety standards for inhabited spaces.
Custom Made
Every system is measured and fabricated to fit your exact terrace dimensions — no standard sizes, no compromises.
Why Expats in Marbella Love Glass Curtains
Marbella has one of the highest concentrations of foreign residents on the entire Iberian Peninsula. British, Irish, German, Scandinavian and Russian buyers have long favoured the Golden Mile, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and Sierra Blanca for second homes and full-time residences. Glass curtains are consistently among the first improvements these expat owners request.
The reasons are straightforward. Marbella terraces in ocean-facing apartments are often exposed to the Levante wind, which blows in strongly from the east. Without protection, even a mild 25 km/h breeze makes dining outdoors uncomfortable. Glass curtains deflect that wind entirely while keeping your sea view intact. Many of our Marbella clients describe their glass-curtained terrace as "adding an extra room to the property".
From a purely financial perspective, a professionally installed glass curtain system adds measurable value to a Marbella property. Estate agents on the Costa del Sol commonly cite glassed-in outdoor spaces as a significant buyer draw, particularly for properties marketed to the Northern European market. The investment typically pays for itself many times over in both usability and resale value.
Maintenance is minimal — toughened glass withstands the salt air and strong UV radiation of the Costa del Sol far better than timber or PVC alternatives. An occasional clean with a standard glass cleaner is all that is required to keep the panels looking pristine.

The Installation Process
Installing glass curtains in Marbella is surprisingly quick and clean. Because the system requires no wet trade work — no concrete, no drilling into load-bearing walls, no plaster or tiling — a typical residential terrace can be fully glazed in a single day.
Step 1 — Free site survey: A Costa Glass technician visits your Marbella property to take precise measurements, assess the structural conditions of your terrace, and advise on the best system and glass options for your situation.
Step 2 — Fabrication: Your panels are manufactured to measure in our Estepona factory, typically within 3–4 weeks from order confirmation. We use our own manufacturing facilities, which gives us direct quality control over every panel.
Step 3 — Installation: Our installation crew arrives with all hardware, tracks, and panels. For a standard apartment terrace, installation is complete in four to eight hours. There are no mess, no debris, and no large skips outside your property.
Step 4 — Handover: We demonstrate how to operate and clean the system, and leave you with a warranty document covering glass breakage and mechanical components.
