Aluminium verandas in Tangier
A veranda in Tangier makes the most of the light but must stand up to wind and humidity. We work through orientation, glazing and ventilation with you so the room stays pleasant all year round.
What we do in Tangier
An aluminium and glass veranda to gain a bright room opening onto the garden or the terrace.
A veranda extends the house under a glazed structure. Glazing, orientation and ventilation decide the comfort: without solar control, the room becomes a greenhouse. We study these points with you, then we make and install the structure.
What you gain
- An extra living space, full of light
- An aluminium structure that stands up to salt and humidity with the right treatment
- Glazing chosen against heat or noise
Technical details— for professionals and the curious
- Solar control
- Glazing treated to reduce the heat of the sun while keeping the light.
- Laminated glazing
- Two panes bonded around a film: safer, quieter, and it doesn’t shatter.

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.
Does a veranda need planning permission?
It depends on your municipality and on the nature of the works. Check with the planning department in Tangier before starting; we can send you the technical characteristics of the structure.
How do I stop a veranda getting too hot in summer?
With solar-control glazing, good ventilation and, if needed, sun protection (shutters, blinds). We advise you according to the orientation.
What upkeep does an aluminium veranda need?
Regular cleaning of the glazing and rinsing the aluminium with fresh water, especially by the sea, is generally enough.
Can it be added to an existing house?
Yes, after checking the existing structure and the anchor points during the study.
