We start with a measurement visit. We precisely measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and verify the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene seal) so that the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote on the same visit. In all thoroughfares and heights below 90cm: tempered or laminated safety glass. Spanish CTE. If the original was single, it must be upgraded to safety glass. In San Miguel de Salinas, an inland village with sea views surrounded by urbanisations, everyday small breakdowns don't respect schedules. A dripping tap, a fallen shelf, or a door that no longer closes properly can complicate the routine of any home, whether in the Centre or a house in Lomas de la Mar. At Manitas, we connect neighbours with trusted local professionals, capable of solving these tasks quickly without the budget spiralling out of control at the end of the job.

Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas at risk of impact. Its distinctive feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause severe cuts, unlike large, sharp fragments from conventional glass. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all thoroughfares and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single glass, we must replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations. The correct protocol when glass breaks involves three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets at home. Second, temporarily cover the opening with thick plastic sheeting or boarding if the area is accessible from the outside and there is a risk of intrusion. Third, call a glazier as soon as possible for measurement and replacement. Urgency depends on whether the area is watertight. A window facing an internal patio can wait 2-3 days without issue. An exterior balcony door or window at risk of rain ingress or theft requires urgent replacement. The most frequent causes we see are three. First, strong wind closing a sliding door with such force that it hits the frame and cracks the tempered glass. This happens especially in areas with strong westerly or easterly winds like La Mata, Punta Prima, or Pilar de la Horadada when doors are left improperly closed. Second, children's balls or accidental impacts against ground-floor window panes or terrace glass. Third, attempted burglaries where the thief breaks the balcony door glass to enter, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur.
