We offer the systems in galvanised steel, Corten, stainless steel and brass. We work on villas and estates in Ibiza and across the Costa del Sol, from Nueva Andalucía and La Zagaleta to Benahavís and Estepona.
You can see our profile options, finishes and original Secco hardware in our Marbella showroom.
Why do architects choose Secco Sistemi steel?
Secco Sistemi is an Italian manufacturer with more than seventy years of experience in steel windows and doors. Its systems are the reference for projects that want the proportions of a historic steel window with today's thermal and weather performance. Three features set Secco apart from ordinary "Crittall-style" steel:
1. Choice of material. The same system is produced in galvanised steel, Corten, stainless steel and brass. Most steel window suppliers offer a single material and paint it.
2. Original hardware in the same material. Handles, hinges and espagnolettes are made in the same material as the frame. A brass window has brass hardware, and a Corten window has Corten-finish hardware.
3. Thermally broken, tested systems. OS2 and EBE are thermally broken and tested to EN 14351-1, the European product standard for windows and external doors.
The Secco systems we install in Marbella

From first sketch to installation
1. Meeting in our showroom
Bring your architect's drawings or a photo of the opening. We review opening types, finishes and glass options together, using real Secco samples.
2. Technical specification
We prepare section drawings, glass build-ups and hardware schedules for each opening. We also check the wind and rain exposure of your plot.
3. Manufacturing
Secco manufactures the frames to measure in the chosen material and finish.
4. Installation and handover
Our team installs, adjusts and seals every unit.
What determines the price of Secco steel windows?
Every Secco project is priced to measure. The main cost factors are:
1. Material: Galvanised and painted steel is the entry level. Stainless steel, Corten and brass are progressively more expensive.
2. System: EBE is heavier than OS2. Folding, pivot and large sliding doors cost more than fixed or opening windows.
3. Size and number of openings: Large single panes need thicker glass and stronger sections.
4. Glass specification: Low-E, acoustic laminated or safety glass affects the cost.
5. Hardware: Solid brass or stainless hardware, concealed hinges and tracks.
6. Site conditions: Access, lifting equipment on hillside plots, and sea exposure.
Send us your drawings for a quote. We price each opening separately so you can compare options.
