Awnings & Toldos in Costur

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you have chosen to live in the peaceful surroundings of Costur, within the beautiful L'Alcalatén comarca, you already know that our inland climate is a double-edged sword. With a population of approximately 532 residents, this village offers an authentic Mediterranean lifestyle, but the summer sun reflecting off the surrounding mountains can make your terrace or balcony unbearable. Finding a high-quality awning in Costur is not just about aesthetics; it is about reclaiming your outdoor living space from the intense heat that defines our province's interior.

Whether you reside in the traditional village centre or in one of the outlying areas like Mas d'Avall, La Lloma Blanca, or the tranquil zones of El Barranc, El Bosc, and El Bustal, we understand the specific wind loads and solar exposure your property faces. My role is to ensure your sun protection system is durable and perfectly integrated into the local architecture. Regarding costs, in Costur a awning typically runs 120-450 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the mechanism and the technical fabric chosen to withstand our thermal fluctuations.

Regulations and Permits for Awnings in Costur

When installing solar protection in our region, we must adhere to both European safety standards and local municipal guidelines. All our installations strictly comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. This certification is vital in inland areas like Costur, where sudden gusts can occur.

From a municipal perspective, the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Costur) governs exterior modifications through the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the Valencian regional law known as LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). Generally, installing an awning is considered an "obra menor" (minor work). In most cases, a simple "comunicación previa" is sufficient. However, if your property is located in the historic heart of the village or if the awning encroaches on public space (the street), a specific municipal licence may be required to ensure the colour and style harmonize with the traditional landscape. We assist our clients in navigating these local requirements to ensure every installation is fully legal.
