Why GMT Design in Tangier

Tangier sits at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar: the east wind (the Chergui), sea air and humidity are present all year round. On the hills such as Marchan, Malabata or the Cap Spartel road, exposure to wind and sea spray is strong; in the city centre, it is street noise that weighs most. The right choice of profile (the aluminium frame), glazing and treatment depends on that exposure, not only on the style you are after.

What we take into account in Tangier

  • Strong exposure to the east wind and sea spray on the city’s hills
  • Acoustic glazing worth considering near the main roads of the city centre
  • Marine anti-corrosion treatment and A4 stainless fixings as standard

Frequently asked questions

Which joinery should I choose against the east wind in Tangier?

A reinforced profile, calculated for the exposure of your home (upper floors and hillside sites are the most exposed), with a marine anti-corrosion treatment, durable seals and suitable glazing. We size everything during the study.

How much does a glass balustrade cost?

From 1,900 DH incl. VAT per linear metre. The final price depends on the height, the glass thickness, the type of fixing and site access.

Does glass stand up to salt in Tangier?

The glass itself, yes; it is the fixings and the aluminium that must be treated against marine corrosion: A4 stainless fixings and suitable powder coating.

Is a glass balustrade safe for children?

A balustrade is a safety device: its height, glazing and fixings must meet the rules in force. We size the work accordingly during the study.

Can it be installed on an existing terrace?

Yes, after checking the support (slab, low wall, concrete) to choose the right fixing.
