Frequently Asked Questions
How much does aluminum and glass work cost per square foot in Dubai?
Aluminum window installation costs AED 180 to AED 500 per square foot in Dubai. Glass partitions cost AED 120 to AED 300 per square foot installed. The exact cost depends on the aluminum profile type (standard vs. thermally broken), glass specification, finish, and complexity of installation. Contact us for a free site survey and accurate quotation for your specific project.
Is double glazing worth the extra cost in Dubai?
Yes. Double glazing reduces heat transfer through windows by approximately 50 percent compared to single glazing. For a typical 3-bedroom villa in Al Barsha or Mirdif, this translates to AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 in annual air conditioning savings. The additional investment in double glazing typically pays for itself within 2 to 4 years.
What type of glass is required by Dubai Municipality for balustrades?
Dubai Municipality requires toughened laminated safety glass for all balustrades, balconies, and overhead glazing. The minimum thickness is 12mm for staircase balustrades and 17.5mm for external balcony balustrades. All glass must comply with Dubai Civil Defence safety regulations. We use only certified safety glass from approved processors.
How long does it take to install aluminum windows in a Dubai villa?
A complete window replacement for a standard 3-bedroom villa in Dubai takes 5 to 10 working days from the start of installation. This includes removal of old windows, fitting new aluminum frames with double glazing, sealing, and final finishing. Larger villas or more complex installations may take 10 to 14 working days.
Do you provide a warranty on aluminum and glass work in Dubai?
Yes, we provide a minimum 1-year warranty on workmanship and materials for all aluminum and glass installations. Aluminum profile warranties extend up to 10 years for powder-coated finishes from the manufacturer. Glass warranty covers manufacturing defects and breakage during installation. We stand behind the quality of our work.
