Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a high-quality awning in Faura, you have come to the right place. Living in the beautiful Camp de Morvedre comarca offers a wonderful lifestyle, but as any of the approximately 3,753 residents here can tell you, our inland climate presents unique challenges. Unlike the coastal breeze of the nearby beaches, Faura experiences intense solar radiation and trapped heat, especially in elevated areas like the Arriba district or the surrounding urbanisations such as Almorig and La Garrofera. Whether you are situated near the historic El Roll or in the newer developments of Rubau, protecting your outdoor space is essential for year-round comfort. In our experience, in Faura a awning typically runs 120-450 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the mechanism and the fabric choice. My goal is to ensure your terrace or patio becomes a usable sanctuary, shielding you from the aggressive Valencian sun while adding aesthetic value to your home. We understand the local architecture and the specific weather patterns of the valley, allowing us to recommend solutions that truly last.

Regulations and permits for awnings in Faura

Navigating the legalities of home improvements in the Valencian Community can be daunting for English-speaking residents. When installing an awning in Faura, the primary technical standard we adhere to is the UNE-EN 13561. This European regulation dictates the wind resistance classes and safety requirements that every external blind and awning must meet to be legally sold and installed in Spain. In a region where sudden gusts of wind can funnel through the valley, ensuring your installation meets these safety benchmarks is not just a matter of law, but of personal safety.

Regarding local municipal permits, Faura operates under the general framework of the General Plan of Urban Planning (PGOU) and the regional LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). Generally, installing a standard awning on a private terrace or balcony is considered an "obra menor" (minor work). In many cases, it may only require a "comunicación previa" (prior notification) to the Ayuntamiento de Faura rather than a full building license. However, if you live in a community of owners (Comunidad de Propietarios), you must ensure the colour and model comply with the established aesthetic of the building to avoid disputes. If your property is located within the historic protection perimeter of the town centre, stricter aesthetic rules may apply regarding the protrusion and fabric colour. We assist our clients in navigating these local requirements to ensure every installation is fully compliant with municipal ordinances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does awning cost in Faura?
The cost of an awning in Faura generally ranges between 120 € and 450 € per square metre. This price includes the high-quality fabric (usually acrylic or technical micro-perforated), the aluminium structure, and the professional labour for installation. Factors such as motorisation, wind sensors, or the need for special scaffolding in high-reach areas like the Arriba neighbourhood can influence the final investment. We always provide a transparent breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Do I need a licence?
For most residential installations in Faura, you do not need a major building licence, but you may need to file a "comunicación previa" for minor works at the town hall. If your home is part of a community of neighbours, you must follow the agreed-upon aesthetic guidelines (colour and frame type) set by the community. If the awning is for a commercial terrace on public land, a specific municipal occupancy permit is required. We can advise you on the specific steps based on your location.
How long does it take?
From the moment we finalise the measurements and you approve the quote, the typical turnaround time is between 2 and 4 weeks. This allows for the custom manufacturing of your awning in the factory and the scheduling of our installation team. The actual physical installation usually takes between 3 and 6 hours depending on the size and complexity of the system, meaning you can enjoy your shade on the very same day we arrive.
Do you cover Faura?
Yes, we fully cover all areas of Faura and the wider Camp de Morvedre area. We frequently work in the town centre as well as the surrounding residential areas like Almorig, Rubau, and La Garrofera. Being local to the province allows us to respond quickly to service calls, site visits, and any future maintenance needs you might have, ensuring you are never left without shade during the peak of summer.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the product and the installation. Generally, the high-performance fabrics we use (like Sauleda or Dickson) come with a 5 to 10-year warranty against fading and rot. The mechanical components and motors typically have a 2 to 5-year warranty. Additionally, at TuExterior, we provide a 2-year guarantee on the installation labour itself, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
Can you install motorised awnings with wind sensors?
Absolutely. Given the inland climate of Faura, where wind speeds can pick up unexpectedly, we highly recommend installing an automated wind sensor (anemometer). These systems automatically retract the awning when wind speeds exceed a safe threshold, preventing damage to the arms and the wall. We can integrate these with Somfy or similar motors, allowing you to control your shade via remote control or even a smartphone app.
What is the best fabric for the Faura climate?
For the specific conditions in Faura—intense sun and relatively low humidity—we usually recommend solution-dyed acrylic fabrics or technical fabrics like Soltis. Acrylic is excellent for UV protection and colour durability, while technical micro-perforated fabrics allow for better airflow, preventing the "greenhouse effect" underneath the awning. During our site visit, I can show you samples of both to see which best suits your terrace's orientation.
