Windows, sliding systems, frameless glass, balustrades and facades — what each costs per sqm in Dubai, then a fixed itemized quote in 24 hours.
The short answer
Glass & aluminium work in Dubai costs AED 350–900 per sqm for thermal-break aluminium windows and doors, AED 600–1,500 per sqm for frameless glass and balustrades, and AED 1,200–2,500 per sqm for structural glazing and curtain walls. A full villa window-and-door package typically runs AED 40,000–150,000.

BEFOREGlass & aluminium upgrade — Emirates Hills — drag to reveal
Representative project
“The new folding doors opened the whole ground floor to the garden — and the AC runs noticeably less. Exactly the number they quoted.”
A line-by-line breakdown — so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Thermal-break aluminium frames
Standard vs thermal-break (lower heat gain)
AED 250 – 700 / sqm
Glazing (double / triple, low-E)
Single to triple-glazed, laminated, low-E
AED 150 – 600 / sqm
Sliding & folding door systems
Per opening — track, rollers, hardware
AED 6,000 – 60,000
Frameless glass (partitions / shower)
Toughened glass, minimal hardware
AED 600 – 1,500 / sqm
Balustrades & handrails
Glass + stainless or spigot fixing
AED 700 – 1,800 / m
Structural glazing / curtain wall
Engineered facades — DM approval
AED 1,200 – 2,500 / sqm
Installation & sealing
Fixing, weatherproofing, snagging
AED 4,000 – 30,000
Four factors decide where you land in the range.
Single vs double vs triple glazing, low-E coatings and laminated safety glass each step the price and the thermal performance.
Thermal-break aluminium costs more than standard but cuts heat gain and AC load noticeably in Dubai's climate.
Frameless facades and curtain walls need engineering and DM approval; standard window replacement does not.
Large sliding walls and oversized panes need heavier sections, stronger glass and specialist installation.
+5–12% value
Quality glazing improves thermal comfort and cuts AC bills, brings in light, and lifts kerb appeal — a visible upgrade buyers and tenants notice.
Timeline
3–8 weeks including fabrication lead time; structural glazing and curtain walls run longer.
