Question 2

Is double glazing worthwhile in Mallorca?

Accepted Answer

Yes, double glazing saves energy costs in both summer (air conditioning) and winter (heating). It also significantly improves sound insulation, which is particularly important in Palma and along busy roads.

Question 3

Is there an emergency service for broken glass in Mallorca?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some glaziers in Mallorca offer emergency services for broken glass, especially in Palma. Temporary securing is often possible within a few hours. Emergency surcharges are €50-100.

Question 4

How much do new windows cost in Mallorca?

Accepted Answer

New windows in Mallorca cost around €300-800 per window including installation. Aluminium windows with double glazing are most popular (€400-700), PVC windows are slightly cheaper (€300-500). For sound insulation and energy efficiency, windows with thermal break (rotura de puente térmico) are recommended. In coastal areas, saltwater-resistant coatings should be chosen.

Question 5

What window types are common in Mallorca?

Accepted Answer

Aluminium sliding windows and doors are most common in Mallorca as they are more corrosion-resistant than steel. Traditional houses often have wooden persianas (shutters). For new builds, double or triple glazed windows with thermal break are recommended for better insulation. Mallorquinas (half-height folding shutters) are a typical architectural element.
