Guillotine glass (ventanas de guillotina in Spanish) is a frameless system in which individual glass panels slide vertically — upward into a cassette above the opening, or downward into a pocket beneath the sill. Unlike traditional sash windows, the panels are entirely frameless, creating a clean, unobstructed view whether open or closed.
The system is particularly popular for glazing the sides of pergolas, closing the gap between a fixed beam and the ground, or as a secondary wind and rain barrier on already-enclosed terraces. When stacked, the panels disappear completely into the cassette, giving a totally open feel. Guillotine glass can be operated manually or — for larger panels — motorised.
Vertical Sliding
Panels travel upward into a slim top cassette or downward into a floor channel — fully invisible when open.
Frameless Glass
No lateral profiles between panels; sight lines are as clean as looking through an open window.
Manual or Motorised
Standard panels operate with a simple handle; panels over 1.5 m high are available with motorised drives.
Pergola Compatible
Guillotine glass integrates perfectly with our bioclimatic pergola system to fully enclose the sides.
Why Nerja Residents Choose Costa Glass
Nerja, at the eastern end of the Costa del Sol, attracts a more established expat community drawn by its Balcón de Europa clifftop promenade, whitewashed Old Town, and relatively unspoilt beaches. Properties here tend to be villas and townhouses with larger terraces than the western Costa.
The local climate — characterised by a slightly fresher microclimate than the western Costa del Sol, but still very sunny and mild — particularly popular for its winter sunshine — makes quality terrace products an investment rather than a luxury. A well-installed guillotine glass system extends your outdoor season from the traditional summer months to a full twelve months of usable, comfortable outdoor space.
As direct manufacturers based in Estepona — just a short drive from Nerja — Costa Glass eliminates the middleman and passes those cost savings directly to you. Every system is measured on-site, fabricated at our factory, and installed by our own technical team. There are no subcontractors and no split responsibilities.
