BALCONY GLAZING IN TOSMUR, ALANYA

Tosmur stretches along the Dim Çayı river, between Oba and Kestel, and is considered one of Alanya's greenest and quietest districts. Yet it is precisely the proximity to the river and the mountains that makes glazing here not a luxury but a practical necessity.

Wind, dust and mosquitoes: three jobs for your glazing

The Dim Çayı valley acts as a natural air corridor: in the evening and at night a noticeable wind blows down from the mountains, and in the dry months it brings dust. Near the river and the gardens there are more insects in summer. That is why in Tosmur we focus on airtightness: a tight fit of the panels, high-quality seals and correct installation of the joints with the parapet.

For windows that are opened often, we offer insect screens matched to the specific system.

Also pay attention to the orientation of the balcony: façades facing the valley suffer more from the wind than those facing the residential streets. We take this into account when choosing a system.

Which systems handle wind best

• PVC windows (REHAU, VEKA, KBE, from €140/m²) — maximum airtightness and quiet, ideal for those who live in Tosmur permanently.
• Sliding aluminium (from €130/m²) — convenient on narrow balconies; for windy façades we choose a profile with reinforced seals.
• Frameless glazing (from €160/m²) — attractive and opens up the view, but for the most exposed spots we will be honest with you about its limitations.

A comparison of the systems is on our page about PVC windows.

Private houses and low-rise buildings

Besides the complexes, Tosmur has plenty of private houses and villas with gardens. Here people often glaze not only the balcony but also a ground-floor veranda or terrace: terrace glazing costs from €80/m², and glazing an entire house from €95/m². For such properties the surveyor prepares a single project so that the profile and colour match on every façade.

If there is a garden, take it into account too: trees planted close to the house can over time shade the windows or drop leaves onto the veranda roof. The surveyor will advise on where to place the opening panels so that it is easy to step out into the garden and air the room without letting in dust from the road. Such details are best discussed before manufacturing, not after installation.

Work process and guarantee

Free survey, project and quote, manufacture of PVC windows at our own factory, installation. The minimum order for a balcony is around €700. The guarantee covers both the products and the installation.

Mistakes we often put right

In Tosmur we frequently have to redo glazing that was installed in a hurry. Typical problems: gaps between the frame and the parapet filled only with foam and left unprotected from the sun; cheap seals that crack after a couple of seasons; panels that move in their tracks and rattle in the wind.

All of this means the dust and draughts come back, and the balcony again needs washing every day. During installation we protect the joints, use seals designed for heat and UV, and check the movement of every panel. If old glazing can still be saved, we will suggest a repair rather than a full replacement.

Near Tosmur

To the west, Tosmur adjoins Oba, and to the east, across the river, lies Kestel. The same teams work in both districts, so visit times stay the same.
