Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, the project coordinator for TuExterior. Over the years, I have seen how the intense inland sun of the El Comtat comarca can transform a beautiful terrace into an unusable space during the peak hours of the day. Benasau is a unique gem, nestled at the foot of the Sierra de la Serrella, but its high altitude and inland climate mean residents face sharp temperature fluctuations and high UV exposure. Whether you are living in the historic Benasau Núcleo, the peaceful area of Ares del Bosc, or near the scenic Barranco de Ares, finding the right shade solution is essential for comfort. If you are looking for a high-quality awning in Benasau, my team and I specialise in providing durable, wind-resistant systems designed specifically for this rugged terrain. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 171 residents, we understand the importance of personalized service and community trust. For your budgeting, in Benasau a awning typically runs 120-450 €/m² including local labour. From the elevated views of El Molló to the traditional townhouses, we ensure your outdoor space remains cool, protected, and stylish throughout the blistering summer months.

Regulations and Permits for Awnings in Benasau

Navigating the local bureaucracy in a small village like Benasau requires an understanding of both national safety standards and local aesthetic guidelines. Every installation we perform strictly adheres to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates the wind resistance and safety requirements for external blinds and awnings. This is particularly crucial in the El Comtat region, where sudden gusts from the Sierra de la Serrella can put significant stress on mechanical arms.

Regarding local permissions, the Benasau Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) manages exterior modifications through the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU). In most cases, installing an awning is considered an "Obra Menor" (minor work). If your property is located within the historic Núcleo or near protected heritage structures, there may be specific restrictions on fabric colours—often leaning towards traditional ochres, creams, or greens—to maintain the village's visual harmony. We assist our clients in determining if a simple communication to the town hall is sufficient or if a formal minor works licence is required before we begin the assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does awning cost in Benasau?
The cost generally ranges from 120 € to 450 € per square metre. This price reflects the high-quality materials needed to withstand the inland climate and includes professional local labour. The final price depends on whether you choose a basic manual drop-arm awning or a full-cassette motorised system with sun and wind sensors.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, in Benasau, you typically need to file a notification for "Obra Menor" at the Town Hall. While it is a straightforward process for most residential properties, homes in the historic centre or Ares del Bosc may have specific aesthetic requirements regarding the colour and style of the fabric to comply with the local PGOU.
How long does it take?
From the moment you approve the quote and select your fabric, the manufacturing process usually takes between 2 to 3 weeks. The actual installation on-site in Benasau is typically completed within a single morning or afternoon, depending on the complexity and the number of units being installed.
Do you cover Benasau?
Absolutely. Although Benasau is a small inland village, we regularly service the entire El Comtat comarca. We frequently visit clients in the main village, the Ares del Bosc area, and the surrounding rural properties near the Sierra de la Serrella, ensuring no location is too remote for a quality installation.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 2-year warranty on the installation and labour, while the high-performance fabrics (like Dickson or Sauleda) and the motors (such as Somfy) often come with their own manufacturer warranties ranging from 5 to 10 years against fading, rot, or mechanical failure.
Which awning is best for high-wind areas like the Sierra de la Serrella?
For properties exposed to the mountain winds of Benasau, we recommend a full-cassette awning with reinforced arms. These systems protect the fabric and mechanism entirely when retracted. Additionally, installing an automated anemometer (wind sensor) is highly recommended so the awning retracts automatically if wind speeds become dangerous.
Can you repair an existing awning?
Yes, we provide maintenance and fabric replacement services. The intense sun in the Alicante interior can perish stitching and fade colours over time. If your hardware is still in good condition, we can perform a "re-telado" (fabric replacement) to make your awning look brand new at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
