PVC and aluminium are the two frames you will be quoted for almost every window in Spain, and the right answer changes from Valencia to Vigo. This guide compares them head-to-head on insulation, price per m², coastal durability, sizes, colours and noise, then gives a clear verdict by scenario and region.
A full data report on windows and doors in Spain: the PVC value chain traced through customs data (resin, profiles, finished units), where Spain buys its profiles and ships its windows, the €4.16-billion domestic sector, the swing from aluminium to PVC, and the subsidy bottleneck holding back a 20-million-home renovation backlog.
A neutral, like-for-like comparison of the PVC profile brands sold in Spain — Kömmerling, Veka, Rehau, Deceuninck, Schüco and the major Spanish systems — by chambers, Uw, reinforcement and price tier. We also explain why the company that fits the window matters at least as much as the brand on the box.
Exterior entrance doors are where security, thermal performance and kerb appeal meet. This guide explains blindada vs acorazada security, aluminium vs PVC, multipoint locks, coastal weather resistance and 2026 prices in Spain. Then compare verified door specialists on Estimia.
Corredera, lift-and-slide, folding or minimalist — Spain's terrace doors come in very different forms, and the wrong choice means draughts, trip hazards or a door you can barely move. This guide walks through the types, thermal performance, thresholds, security and realistic 2026 prices so you can compare quotes with confidence.
Traffic, terraces, airports and nightlife — Spanish streets are loud, and your windows are the weakest link. This guide explains acoustic ratings (dB and Rw), exactly what makes a window quiet, the realistic noise reduction you can expect, and precisely what to specify in a quote so you can compare verified companies on equal terms.
FAQs
It is built on the 7-chamber LivIng 82 platform with an 82 mm build-in depth and a 168 mm profile height. The frame runs 7 chambers and the sash 5 chambers, with enclosed steel reinforcement in the frame plus welded corner connectors in the sash. Two lines of weldable EPDM gasket and a frame Uf of 1.1 W/m²K complete the build.
The leaf accepts infills up to 52 mm deep, in three configurations:
Yes. It uses a thermally split threshold standing just 20 mm high, which meets DIN 18040 for barrier-free construction. Dedicated brush and rubber seals shield the threshold zone from wind, while the low sill keeps the step manageable for wheelchairs, prams and reduced-mobility access.
Rated A++, the door reaches a Ud/Uw down to 0.80 W/m²K with a warm panel. Its tested envelope performance is strong: watertightness Class 7A and air infiltration Class 4, backed by the two weldable EPDM seal lines and the thermally broken threshold.
Intrusion resistance is tested up to RC2 class, so for high-security entrances needing RC3 or above it is not the right pick. As a PVC entrance system its glazing also caps at 52 mm; for deeper triple-glazed units the aluminium AD UP 75 (up to 63 mm) suits better.
On thermal performance the PVC LivIng Door leads: Uw down to 0.80 W/m²K versus the AD UP 75's 1.1 W/m²K, and it costs less (from €2,000 against €2,800). The aluminium AD UP 75 counters with deeper glazing (up to 63 mm vs 52 mm). Both share the LivIng platform's PVC heritage seen in the LivIng 82 window.
