Windows and doors specialists
Windows and doors specialists Mestre Raposa will be at BLiP this year, so why not go along to their stand and see what they have to offer?
Eight years ago the company started with a small shop near the Guia roundabout. This still exists but, due to the company’s growth, most of their activities now centre on their spacious showrooms and office 100m west of Quatro Estradas on the EN 125 near Almancil.
Clients do not even have to go to the shop to see Mestre Raposa’s work as they were used to supply the doors and windows of the newly restored Estoi Palace.
Dunas Douradas Restaurant and Beach Club also has the world’s biggest folding system between restaurant and pool, which was installed by Mestre Raposa.
The company aims to offer the best security standards available on the market. Modern or traditional, any size, form, colour and material. Mestre Raposa now recommends aluminium.
At BLiP, multi-lingual staff from Mestre Raposa will be on hand to explain about the new PURAL® system, the first aluminium or steel-based windows that are solid enough to allow structures up to 100 metres high. These are also strong enough to carry heavy bullet-proof German Panzerglass. The system has triple glazing if necessary and a never-seen acoustic and thermal insulation.
As well as doors and windows, Mestre Raposa also supplies a variety of shutters, fly-screen systems and alarm equipment. So why not visit Stand 30 at BLiP this weekend?

British Consulate and Department for Work and Pensions
British Consulate and Department for Work and Pensions announce a series of informative talks to be held during the Better Living In Portugal exhibition.
The aim of the talks, which will be open to everyone to attend, will be two fold. The first will be to explain the role of the British Consulate covering topics such as what we can and cannot do to assist, how to register at the Consulate and highlighting other resources available. The second part of the talks will be to clarify the Benefits, Pensions and Healthcare provisions available to British residents living in the Algarve. Martin Fitches from the Department for Work & Pensions commented that they are looking forward to meeting residents and hope that they will find the talks both useful and informative. Paul Rodwell, the Consul, mentioned that he is delighted by this unique opportunity to join forces with both the Department for Work and Pensions as well as the Department of Health and hopes that the British residents will take advantage of this opportunity. Please also find representatives on our Stand 139 at BLiP throughout the event. Talks will be held on:
