Our Aluminum and Glass Services

Aluminum Windows and Doors

We design, fabricate, and install custom aluminum windows and doors for villas, apartments, and commercial properties. Our windows use thermally broken aluminum profiles that reduce heat transfer, keeping your property cooler and lowering energy bills. Choose from sliding, casement, awning, or bi-fold configurations in a wide range of RAL colors. Each unit is fitted with double-glazed or laminated glass and high-quality gaskets and weather stripping to prevent dust and water ingress during Dubai’s occasional heavy rains.

Glass Partitions and Balustrades

Create open, light-filled spaces with our frameless glass partitions and balustrades. We supply and install 10mm to 21.5mm toughened laminated safety glass with polished or satin finished edges. Our glass partitions are ideal for dividing office spaces without blocking natural light, while frameless glass balustrades add a modern touch to staircases, terraces, and balconies. All glass installations comply with Dubai Civil Defence safety regulations, using the correct glass thickness and fixing specifications for each application.

Shopfronts and Curtain Walls

Your shopfront is the face of your business. We design and install aluminum framed and structural glazed shopfronts for retail stores, restaurants, showrooms, and commercial units across Dubai. Our curtain wall systems are engineered to handle Dubai’s high wind loads while providing excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. We work with leading profile systems from reputable manufacturers to deliver facades that perform and impress.

Aluminum Cladding and Facades

Transform the exterior of your building with aluminum composite panel cladding and custom facade systems. We supply and install fire-rated ACP panels in a variety of finishes including metallic, solid, wood grain, and brushed effects. Our facade solutions improve thermal efficiency, protect against weather exposure, and give your property a contemporary architectural identity. All cladding installations follow Dubai Municipality’s fire safety guidelines for exterior building finishes.

Custom Glass Fittings

Beyond standard installations, we create bespoke glass features including glass floors, glass skylights, glass canopies, glass signage, and glass splashbacks for kitchens. Each piece is custom-cut and finished to your exact specifications. We can arrange for acid etching, sandblasting, or digital ceramic printing on glass for decorative or branding purposes.

Why Aluminum and Glass Are the Right Choice for Dubai Properties

Dubai’s climate presents unique challenges for building materials. Extreme summer heat, high humidity near the coast, sand-laden winds, and intense UV exposure all take a toll on conventional materials. Aluminum and glass offer specific advantages that make them ideal for this environment:

• Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel or iron, aluminum does not rust. Even in humid coastal areas like Dubai Marina and Jumeirah, aluminum structures remain maintenance-free for decades when properly anodized or powder coated.
• Thermal Efficiency: Modern thermally broken aluminum profiles combined with double or triple glazing reduce heat gain by up to 60 percent compared to standard single-glazed systems. This directly lowers air conditioning costs.
• Natural Light: Large glass surfaces reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, cutting electricity bills while creating healthier, more pleasant indoor environments.
• Design Flexibility: Aluminum is lightweight yet strong, allowing for slim profiles and large spans that maximize views. It can be extruded into virtually any shape and finished in any RAL color.
• Low Maintenance: Powder-coated aluminum requires only occasional cleaning with water and mild detergent. No painting, sealing, or anti-rust treatments are needed.
• Fire Safety: Aluminum is non-combustible, and when combined with fire-rated glass, aluminum and glass assemblies can achieve fire resistance ratings required by Dubai Civil Defence for commercial buildings and high-rise residential towers.

Types of Glass We Use

• Toughened Safety Glass: Heat-treated to be four to five times stronger than standard glass. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt fragments that are less likely to cause injury. Required by Dubai Municipality regulations for doors, low-level windows, and shower enclosures.
• Laminated Glass: Two or more glass layers bonded with a PVB interlayer. Stays intact when broken, making it ideal for balustrades, skylights, and overhead glazing. Also provides superior sound insulation.
• Double Glazing: Two glass panes separated by a spacer with argon gas fill. Reduces heat transfer and noise. Recommended for all exterior windows and doors in Dubai.
• Low-E Glass: Coated with a microscopic metallic layer that reflects heat while allowing visible light to pass through. Low-emissivity glass can reduce solar heat gain by up to 70 percent.
• Reflective and Tinted Glass: Reduces glare and solar heat gain while providing privacy. Available in bronze, grey, blue, green, and silver tints.
• Fire-Rated Glass: Ceramic or wired glass that maintains integrity during a fire for 30 to 120 minutes, as required by building regulations for fire doors and compartment walls.

The Aluminum and Glass Work Process

1. Site Survey and Consultation. Our team visits your property to take precise measurements, assess existing structures, and discuss your requirements. We consider factors such as orientation, wind exposure, privacy needs, and architectural style.

2. Design and Quotation. We prepare detailed drawings and a transparent quotation with no hidden charges. You receive a breakdown of materials, finishes, glass specifications, and installation timeline.

3. Fabrication. All aluminum frames, glass panels, and fittings are fabricated in our workshop using precision cutting and welding equipment. We use only high-grade aluminum extrusions from approved suppliers and certified safety glass from Dubai Municipality-approved glass processors.

4. Installation. Our installation teams are fully trained and insured. They handle all aspects including structural fixing, sealing, gasketing, and final adjustments. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine or business operations.

5. Quality Check and Handover. Every installation is inspected for alignment, operation, weather tightness, and finish quality before handover. We provide warranty documentation and aftercare instructions.

Regulations and Compliance in Dubai

All aluminum and glass work in Dubai must comply with Dubai Municipality building regulations and Dubai Civil Defence fire safety codes. Key requirements include:

• Safety glass must be used in all doors, side panels, low-level glazing, and overhead glazing.
• Fire-rated glazing is required in fire escape routes, compartment walls, and building facades above a specified height.
• Exterior glass must be rated for wind load based on building height and location zone within Dubai.
• Aluminum cladding materials must meet the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code requirements for fire resistance.

As a Dubai-based company, we ensure every project meets these requirements and we handle any necessary approvals on your behalf.

Cost Factors for Aluminum and Glass Work in Dubai

• Glass Type: Toughened glass costs approximately 30-40 percent more than standard float glass. Laminated glass, double glazing, and Low-E coatings add additional cost based on specifications.
• Aluminum Profile: Thermally broken profiles cost more than standard profiles but offer significant long-term energy savings. Custom powder coating in specialized finishes also affects pricing.
• Size and Complexity: Larger panels and more complex configurations require more materials and fabrication time. Curved glass and structural glass assemblies command premium pricing.
• Installation Location: Properties in high-rise buildings require specialized access equipment and safety measures, which affects installation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminum and Glass Work

How long does it take to install aluminum windows in a villa?

A typical villa window replacement project takes 5 to 10 working days from measurement to completion, depending on the number of windows and the complexity of the installation.

Do you provide warranty on aluminum and glass work?

Yes, we provide a minimum one-year warranty on workmanship and materials. Aluminum profile warranties vary by manufacturer and can extend up to 10 years.

Can you match existing aluminum profiles and colors?

Yes, we can color-match existing profiles using our powder coating facilities. We also stock a wide range of standard RAL colors for seamless integration with your property.

Do I need permits for aluminum and glass work in Dubai?

Permits are required for structural changes to building exteriors and common areas. For minor interior work such as replacing windows within existing frames, permits may not be necessary. We advise on and handle the permitting process for all projects that require it.
