Hi everyone, thanks for providing this forum for Torrevieja. I've recently inherited a house there which I will be doing up in the New Year (hopefully!) and in the meantime, to improve security I've got a builder lined up to increase the wall heights both front and back. I would like to choose or at least provide an example of the metal doors (rather than wrought iron) to be fitted in these walls. Whilst I can screenshot examples from the neighbouring houses to meet & maintain the standards set by neighbours in the street and provide a visual reference to the builder (see photo), I would like to explore the costs for the doors specifically and am struggling to find the right ones on Leroy Merlin and Bricodepot so wondered if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction please? TIA!

Have a look at

www.aluminios-ordosa.com

They are based in Torrevieja and I can recommend Orlando and his company, although they only installed windows and doors for me they were excellent, I am on the understanding they make gates and fencing to spec, As for prices I found them the best for what I wanted. Good luck, stay safe and healthy my friend.

Good morning.

I am pleased to hear that you have inherited a house in Torrevieja and intending to keep and enjoy it.

Please slow down. Understandably, you want to get the house sorted out ASAP but please slow down. Once you have poured a lot of money into doing this work, you won’t have any desire to change it again. So much is changing and while walking about I have seen some very smart and upmarket perimeter walls/ fences/ gates. For years, people have put balustrades on top of pebble dashed walls or smart open work bricks to allow light in.  The type of look now has greatly changed. Beautiful walls with frosted glass held by stainless steel or white aluminium supports. Or, White aluminium fencing ( looks like Venetian blinds). Absolutely class with doors/ gates to match.  Please wait until you are here and drive around and look for yourself. If you would like I could pm you with addresses of areas you could visit to see what I mean. 

So many houses gave sliding patio doors which are fine but we always wanted to have our sitting room completely open to the patio. Last year, we got bi fold doors made which are a transformation.  

Hold back and do your research. When we bought our house 19 years ago, I raced out and bought wool rugs, curtains and all sorts of things that I subsequently changed and had to get rid of.

We had a solid white I pvc hall door which I had altered. The inner skin was replaced with glass ( mirrored on the outside for privacy). What a fantastic result. Light now floods in instead of darkness 

I hope my advice is helpful.

Best wishes,

Grannyrose.
