Awnings in Girona & Costa Brava

Professional awning installation for terraces, balconies and commercial premises

We install retractable arm, cassette, vertical and canopy awnings throughout the province of Girona. Over 25 years of experience in sun protection with the best fabrics and mechanisms on the market.

Professional awnings for your home or business

A well-chosen and properly installed awning is the most effective and affordable way to protect your terrace from the sun. It reduces indoor temperature by up to 10°C, protects furniture from UV radiation and extends the living space of your home or business.

At Instal Tancaments we have been installing awnings for over 25 years. We know the Costa Brava conditions — intense summer sun, tramontana winds, sea salt — and we know which fabrics and mechanisms work in each situation. We work with the best awning brands on the market.

Types of awnings we install

Retractable arm awning

The classic choice for terraces and balconies. Extends up to 4 metres with articulated arms. Available with manual (crank) or motorised remote control operation. The most popular option for its value for money.

Cassette awning (box)

The fabric and arms retract inside a closed box that protects the fabric when not in use. Ideal for areas with sea salt or heavy rain like the Costa Brava. Greater durability and cleaner aesthetics.

Vertical awning (screen)

Deploys vertically like a blind. Perfect for enclosing terrace sides, protecting from wind or providing privacy. Widely used in combination with bioclimatic pergolas and porches.

Canopy / fixed arm awning

Fixed or tiltable structure with a curved shape. Widely used in shops, restaurants and storefronts. Protects from sun and light rain. Can be customised with the company logo.

Advantages of installing an awning

Reduces temperature

An awning can reduce indoor temperature by up to 10°C, decreasing air conditioning usage and saving on electricity bills.

UV protection

Quality acrylic fabrics block up to 95% of ultraviolet radiation, protecting your skin and outdoor furniture.

Full customisation

Wide range of colours, patterns and finishes. Choose the fabric, colour and mechanism type that best matches your façade.

Water resistance

Waterproof fabrics allow you to use the terrace even in light rain. Cassette awnings protect the fabric from deterioration when retracted.

Quick installation

Awning installation is completed in just a few hours, with no building work or foundations. You can enjoy your terrace the same day.

Wind resistance

Awnings with wind sensors retract automatically when they detect strong gusts. Essential in the Empordà region with the tramontana wind.

Frequently asked questions about awnings

How much does it cost to install an awning?

The price depends on the type and size. A 3-metre manual retractable arm awning starts from about €500. A 4-metre motorised cassette awning, which is the most popular option, costs between €1,500 and €3,000 installed.

Retractable arm or cassette awning?

The cassette awning protects the fabric when retracted, which significantly extends its lifespan. It is the recommended option on the Costa Brava due to sea salt and rain. The arm awning is cheaper but the fabric remains exposed.

How long does an awning last?

A quality, well-maintained awning lasts 10–15 years. The acrylic fabric usually needs replacing after 8–12 years, depending on sun exposure. The mechanisms and structure last longer.

Can an existing awning be motorised?

In most cases, yes. We install tubular motors with remote control on existing awnings. We can also add wind and sun sensors to automate retraction.

What maintenance does an awning need?

Very little: clean the fabric with water and neutral soap 2–3 times a year, lubricate the mechanisms once a year and do not leave it extended in strong wind. In coastal areas, clean it more often due to sea salt.

Awning or bioclimatic pergola?

They are complementary solutions. The awning is more affordable and quicker to install, ideal for sun protection. The [bioclimatic pergola](/pergolas-bioclimaticas/) offers complete protection against sun, rain and wind, with greater durability. Read our full comparison.
