The decorative elements in Algarve houses reflect the Moorish influence in the region, which dates back to the period when the Moors dominated the Iberian Peninsula. Furthermore, the bright and vibrant colors of the doors contrast with the predominant white of the walls, creating a happy and welcoming atmosphere in the streets of the region.
One of these elements is the characteristic platband, which is one of the characteristic features of the Algarve’s architectural heritage.
For those who don’t know, it is the decorative strip that finishes the facades and hides the roof or terrace, decorated with geometric shapes and colors which contrast with the white of the lime.
Many clients come to us to try to find a solution for their renovations, combining our wide range of wall lights, which, with the correct waterproofing, can help keep this tradition alive.
