Large sliding doors for Benidorm towers and apartments
In Benidorm the view is often from a tower. A large sliding door makes the bay, the island and the skyline part of the room, from Levante to Poniente.

Twenty floors up, the sea fills the window from side to side. The lights of the promenade come on at dusk. With the door closed, the room is quiet and the wind stays outside.
What you enjoy here
The whole bay
Benidorm island, both beaches and the Serra Gelada, framed by one wide pane.
Dusk over Poniente
On the west side of the bay, the sun goes down over the sea. The terrace becomes the room for it.
Wind grows with height
Wind pressure on a façade grows with height, so the tested wind class matters more up here.
The models, simply put
Three ways to bring the view into the living room. All made to measure with Kömmerling profiles and installed by our own team.
Kömmerling PremiDoor 76 AluClip and PremiDoor 76 Lux AluClipAlu-clad lift and slide door
What it is. A wall of glass that slides open to the terrace, with aluminium outside and uPVC inside. From the garden you see aluminium in the colour of the façade; from the sofa, a warm frame around the sea.
6.00 × 2.40 mMaximum size of one door (19 ft 8 in × 7 ft 10 in), the same in any outside colour
Kömmerling PremiDoor 76 and PremiDoor 76 LuxuPVC lift and slide door
What it is. The same lift and slide door, all in uPVC: white or with a colour foil. Open, it leaves the widest view of the line; closed, the glass panel drops onto its rubber seals and the room goes quiet.
6.5 mMaximum width in white (21 ft 4 in), in up to four sliding panels of up to 400 kg each
Kömmerling AluNext AD and MD, and AluClip ZeroAlu-clad windows and fixed lights
What it is. Windows that open on hinges and floor-to-ceiling panes that do not open, with the same aluminium outside and the same uPVC inside as the door. The view carries on from room to room.

How we work in Benidorm
Our Costa Blanca office is in Benidorm. In a tower, we check the lift, the stairs and whether a large panel needs a crane. We ask for the wind class in writing for your size. Penthouses and towers.
Before you order, ask the community administrator which colour and frame the façade allows. The town hall’s works notice asks for an itemised quote and photos of the area. Each door is made to measure with Kömmerling profiles and installed by our own team. If you are abroad, a key holder lets us in and you follow the job through photos. How we work while you are away.
Technical advice for interior design studios and architects
When a studio is behind the project, we work with it from the drawings: which system fits each opening, with which sightlines and which data-sheet figures, each with its test conditions, ready for the specification or the client.
Opening by opening
Lift and slide, alu-clad or uPVC, with the number of panels and the glass for that façade.
Sightlines in mm
Every junction measured, no “minimal” where it does not apply.
Data sheets with tests
Official Kömmerling data sheets linked, and a performance table per system.
Coordinated works
With property managers and key holders, and a handover photo report for the owner.
Questions about lift and slide doors in Benidorm
Will a lift and slide door cope with the wind on a high floor in Benidorm?
On an open seafront, the building code’s wind exposure factor goes from 2.4 at 3 m to 3.7 at 30 m. For the uPVC PremiDoor 76, the Spanish data sheet states wind class up to C5, and Kömmerling’s German documents state up to C1/B2 for the same door. Kömmerling publishes no wind class for the alu-clad version. Because the two documents differ, we ask for the class in writing for the actual size of your door.
Will a large glass panel fit in my building’s lift?
Not always. A large sash with laminated glass is heavy, and it must reach the floor through the lift or by crane. We check the lift, the stairs and the path from the van at the survey, before we confirm a size. In a tower, the community rules on works and access also apply.
Do I need the community’s permission in a Benidorm tower?
You must inform the community before works, and the outside appearance of the building cannot change (Horizontal Property Law, article 7.1). Closing a terrace counts as an alteration of the building and needs three fifths of the owners, holding three fifths of the shares (article 17). Most towers also have their own rules on the façade.
Can it be done while I’m in the UK?
Yes. A key holder lets us in for the survey and the fitting: family, a neighbour, your property manager or your agent. Eduardo goes through the written quote with you in English, on WhatsApp or on a video call. During the fitting you receive photos of each opening at every stage, until the threshold is sealed.
Lift and slide doors in other areas
Each area asks for something different: height, wind, salt air or a holiday home.

Free, no-obligation advice
With the approximate size, the town, which way it faces and the floor, we can already tell you which system fits and what needs checking on site. We reply in writing, in English, with no obligation. If you are an interior design studio or an architect, say so in the form and we will work from your drawings.
