Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking for a high-quality awning in Tales, you have come to the right place. Living in the beautiful comarca of La Plana Baixa offers a wonderful lifestyle, but our inland climate brings intense summer heat that can make terraces unbearable. With a population of around 834 residents, Tales is a peaceful haven, yet the sun hitting areas like the historic town centre or the surrounding urbanisations such as Entre-rius and Carbonària requires professional solar protection. Whether you reside in the newer builds of Xautena, the tranquil El Clot, or the established Tejerías area, I personally oversee every installation to ensure your outdoor space becomes a cool sanctuary. We understand the specific architectural needs of our village, balancing modern functionality with the traditional charm of our Mediterranean streets. To give you an idea of investment, in Tales a awning typically runs 120-450 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity and fabric choice.

How we work

Once you reach out to us, we schedule an initial consultation to discuss your specific shade needs and aesthetic preferences for your home in Tales. I will personally visit your property in areas like Entre-rius or the town centre to take precise measurements and assess the wall structure for a safe installation. Within 48 hours, you will receive a detailed, free quote with no obligation, outlining the best materials and systems suited for the local inland climate. Our expert team carries out the installation with minimal disruption, ensuring every bolt and fabric tension meets our rigorous safety and durability standards.

Regulations and Permits for Solar Protection in Tales

When installing an awning in Tales, it is essential to comply with both European safety standards and local municipal regulations. All our products strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which governs the wind resistance and safety performance of external blinds and awnings. This ensures that your installation can withstand the typical gusts we experience in the foothills of the Sierra de Espadán.

From a legal standpoint, the installation of an awning is generally considered an "obra menor" (minor work). However, the specific requirements vary depending on where your property is located within the municipality. The town is governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje) and the municipal subsidiary norms (Normas Subsidiarias). If your home is located within the historic core of Tales, the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) mandates strict aesthetic integration. This means certain colours or styles may be required to maintain the visual harmony of the traditional stone and white-washed facades. For urbanisations like Carbonària or Xautena, the rules are often more flexible, but we always recommend checking with the "Ayuntamiento de Tales" or your community of owners to ensure the chosen canvas colour matches the established neighbourhood criteria. We handle the technical documentation if a formal communication of work is required by the local council.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does awning cost in Tales?
The cost varies based on the dimensions and the technology used, such as motorisation or sensors. Generally, you can expect to pay between 120 and 450 € per square metre. This price includes the high-quality fabric, the aluminium structure, and the professional labour required to secure the installation against the local weather conditions.
Do I need a licence for an awning in Tales?
In most cases, a simple "comunicación previa" for minor works at the Town Hall is sufficient. However, if you live in the historic centre or a community with specific bylaws, certain aesthetic restrictions regarding colour and projection size apply. We provide the necessary technical details to help you navigate these local requirements easily.
How long does the process take from start to finish?
From the moment we finalise the measurements and you approve the quote, the manufacturing and installation usually take between 15 to 25 days. During peak summer season, this might extend slightly, so we always recommend planning your shade project in early spring to enjoy the terrace when the heat peaks.
Do you cover all areas of Tales?
Yes, we provide full service across the entire municipality. Whether you are located in the heart of the village near the church, in the residential areas of El Clot and Tejerías, or in the more rural outskirts like Entre-rius and Carbonària, our team travels to your location for both the consultation and the final fitting.
What kind of warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 5-year warranty on the technical fabrics (against fading and rot) and a 2-year warranty on the mechanical components and installation labour. Because the inland climate of La Plana Baixa can be harsh, we only use materials tested for high UV resistance and durability.
Can I install a motorised awning with wind sensors?
Absolutely. Given the breeze patterns in the valley, we highly recommend Somfy or similar motorisation systems with integrated anemometers. These sensors automatically retract the awning if the wind exceeds a safe threshold, protecting your investment even when you are not at home.
Which fabric is best for the heat in Tales?
For the inland heat of Tales, we recommend solution-dyed acrylic fabrics or micro-perforated technical screens. These materials provide excellent thermal protection, reducing the temperature on your porch or balcony significantly while maintaining breathability and preventing the "greenhouse effect" underneath the canvas.
