Full Joinery Renovation: How to Renovate Windows and Enclosures in Your Home

Introduction: when is the right time for a full joinery renovation?

A full joinery renovation involves replacing all the windows, enclosures, gates and solar protection in a home in a single coordinated project. Rather than changing one window here and another there, it means completely transforming the comfort, energy and acoustic efficiency and security of your home in one go, with a single plan instead of several piecemeal jobs.

At Tecnisun C.B. we carry out full joinery renovations in Granada and Malaga combining leading brands in the sector: STRUGAL (windows), INSTALLUX (enclosures) and SAXUN (solar protection). We are official STRUGAL and SAXUN installers, and we offer a unified project with a single point of contact and a single quote. We are a two-person family business, and the manager takes part in every installation alongside our professional partner installation team.

Signs your home needs a full renovation

Your joinery needs a complete overhaul if you spot several of these symptoms:

• Windows over 20 years old: aluminium profiles without thermal break (RPT) or degraded wooden windows lose a lot of heat in winter and let heat in during summer.
• Condensation on the glass: water droplets inside the glass indicate that the glazing has lost its seal and the argon gas has escaped.
• Excessive external noise: if you can clearly hear traffic, construction or neighbours, the windows are not fulfilling their acoustic function.
• Draughts with windows closed: deteriorated weatherseals and misadjusted hardware create air infiltrations that drive up energy consumption.
• Difficulty opening/closing: rusted hardware, warped profiles or jammed tracks indicate structural deterioration.
• High energy bills: if heating and cooling never seem to be enough, your joinery is probably one of the main causes.

What does a full joinery renovation include?

A full renovation covers all the exterior joinery elements of the home:

Phases of a full joinery renovation

At Tecnisun we follow a structured 6-phase process to guarantee an impeccable result:

Phase 1: First contact and survey

We start with your measurements, photos and needs: the online quote is free and without obligation. If the project requires it, we carry out an on-site technical visit, which has a cost that we tell you before arranging it. During the visit we assess the state of all your joinery, identify energy-loss points and measure every opening.

Phase 2: Project design and quotation

We present a comprehensive project with:

• Material and series selection for each element (PVC, aluminium or mixed depending on location and use).
• Performance of the new elements (based on certified Uw values).
• Finish, colour and accessory proposal.
• Detailed quote broken down by line items.
• Guidance on any energy-renovation grants that may be open.

Phase 3: Manufacturing and orders

Aluminium systems are made to measure at our Granada workshop. PVC windows are supplied by STRUGAL, and gates, solar protection and enclosures are ordered to measure from their manufacturers. We coordinate every order so it arrives in time for each phase of the works.

Phase 4: Removal and preparation

We remove all old joinery carefully to avoid damaging wall surfaces. We prepare openings (repair, levelling, damp treatment if needed). Waste is managed through an authorised construction-waste handler.

Phase 5: Coordinated installation

We install all elements in a logical order: first windows and enclosures (which require sealing and foaming), then gates and finally solar protection (blinds, awnings, mosquito screens). The manager is on site alongside our professional partner installation team.

Phase 6: Final adjustment and handover

Fine-tuning of hardware, watertightness testing, post-construction cleaning and document handover: warranty certificates for each brand, technical datasheets and maintenance instructions. We review the final result with you.

Energy-renovation grants in Andalusia

Grant programmes for the energy renovation of homes and buildings open periodically, and there are also tax deductions for works that improve energy efficiency. Their requirements, amounts and deadlines change with each call, so it is worth checking them when you plan the renovation:

• Usual requirement: proving a reduction in the home's energy consumption, normally through energy certificates before and after the works.
• Eligible works: improving the building envelope (windows, enclosures, insulation) is usually among the eligible measures.
• Compatibility: some grants can be combined with income-tax deductions; check with your tax adviser.

Example: what a full renovation of a detached house can include

To illustrate the scope of a full renovation, this is the kind of project we put together for a detached house in Granada:

Every home is different, so the quote is tailored to your measurements and needs. Beyond lower heating and cooling use, new joinery improves comfort, quiet and security for many years.

Frequently asked questions about full renovations

How long does a full joinery renovation take?

It depends on the size of the home, the elements included and the manufacturers' lead times. When you accept the quote, we give you a specific schedule for your project. For occupied homes, we coordinate installation zone by zone to minimise disruption.

Can we live in the house during the renovation?

Yes. Joinery installation causes less disruption than masonry renovation. We work room by room, leaving each space functional at the end of the day. Only the removal of old windows leaves the room temporarily open to the outside.

Is it worth combining PVC and aluminium in the same home?

Yes, it is a very common strategy: STRUGAL PVC for bedrooms and interior rooms (maximum insulation) and STRUGAL aluminium RPT for living rooms with large windows and enclosures (large dimensions and aesthetics). As official STRUGAL installers of both materials, we coordinate the aesthetics with matching finishes. You can see every option on our windows page.

Is the quote free?

Yes: the online quote is free and without obligation, based on your measurements and photos. The on-site technical visit has a cost, which we tell you before arranging it.
