Siplan opens its’ doors in Seville in 1993. All products are designed and manufactured 100% in Spain, in order to ensure design, innovation and quality in each one of them.
Cortidea has been designing and installing custom awnings on the Costa del Sol since 1995. Our showroom is on Carretera de Mijas km. 3, and we install across Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola and the wider Costa del Sol.
Whether you need a retractable arm awning for a terrace, a cassette awning for a villa, a veranda or pergola awning for a covered patio, a vertical drop awning for a window or balcony, or a traditional palillería drop-arm awning for a shopfront, we offer manual and motorised options from leading European brands.
Every project starts with a free home consultation, exact measurement and a no-obligation quote. We supply Saxun, Gaviota, Siplan and Luxaflex, chosen for build quality and warranty support, and we install awnings designed for the Spanish climate, sun strength and coastal wind exposure.
The most popular awning style for Costa del Sol terraces. Folding arms extend the canvas outward from the wall, giving full shade when open and tucking neatly back when closed. Available in manual and motorised versions, with optional wind and sun sensors. We supply Saxun, Gaviota and Luxaflex retractable arm systems.
A retractable arm awning with a fully enclosed casing that protects the fabric and mechanism when closed. Best for exposed locations and properties used part of the year. Longer fabric life and a cleaner architectural finish. Saxun and Gaviota cassette systems are our most installed.
Mounted above a window or balcony and dropped vertically to block direct sun and reduce glare. Ideal for west-facing windows and ground-floor terraces. Available in PVC and acrylic fabrics, motorised or manual.
Designed for permanent terrace coverings. Run on guides between two supports or over a pergola structure to give consistent shade across the full terrace. Compatible with retractable side curtains and integrated lighting.
A traditional Spanish awning style, with the front bar dropping down on hinged arms. Common above shopfronts and terraces in older Spanish properties. We can supply replacement frames, fabric covers, and full new installations.
Fully enclosed and weather-sealed when closed. Best for installations where the awning is left out for long stretches in mixed weather. Excellent for coastal properties exposed to wind and salt air.
We install awnings throughout Mijas, including Las Lagunas (where our showroom sits), Mijas Pueblo, La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda. Each area has different sun exposure and wind patterns. Coastal Calahonda properties typically need cassette or box awnings to handle the wind off the sea, while inland Mijas Pueblo terraces work well with retractable arm systems.
Our awning installations in Marbella cover Nueva Andalucía, San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús and Elviria. South-facing Marbella terraces benefit from larger projection awnings to give full afternoon shade, and we frequently combine retractable arm awnings with vertical drop awnings on the same property to manage both overhead sun and side glare.
Yes. Our showroom is on Carretera de Mijas km. 3, and we install across Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola, Calahonda, La Cala and the surrounding areas.
Retractable arm awnings are by far the most popular for residential terraces. They give full shade when open and tuck back when closed. Cassette versions are common for exposed coastal properties because the fabric is protected when not in use.
Both. Most modern installations are motorised, often with wind and sun sensors that retract the awning automatically. We also fit manual awnings where the customer prefers, and we can retrofit motors to many existing setups.
A well-specified and well-installed awning will typically last 10 to 15 years on the coast, with the fabric often replaced once during that life. Coastal properties exposed to salt air benefit from cassette systems, which extend fabric life significantly.
Yes. We supply veranda and pergola awnings that run on guides between two supports, including options that integrate with existing wooden or aluminium pergolas.
Prices vary by size, brand and motorisation. As a guide, a quality 4-metre retractable arm awning starts in the low thousands of euros installed. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after a home visit.
Yes. We work with restaurants, hotels and retail premises across the Costa del Sol, including drop-arm shopfront awnings (palillería) and terrace awnings for hospitality.
In communities of owners (urbanizaciones), the answer is usually yes. We help customers prepare the documentation their community needs, including dimensions, fabric colour and any motorisation details.
