Aluminium Windows & Doors Cost in Dubai (2026)
A full price guide to aluminium windows and doors in Dubai — costs by type, the impact of glazing and finishes, installation, and the energy savings that pay you back.
Aluminium windows in Dubai typically cost AED 400–3,500 per square metre, and aluminium doors AED 500–2,500 per square metre, supply-and-install — the spread reflects type, glazing and finish. Double glazing adds roughly AED 200–400/m². Installation runs about AED 50–100/m² for windows.
In Dubai's heat, sandstorms and coastal humidity, aluminium has become the default frame material for windows and doors — it doesn't warp, crack or rust, and with a thermal break it helps keep cooling bills down. If you're planning to install or replace, here's what it costs and what drives the price.
Why aluminium in the UAE
Aluminium is strong, light and weather-resistant, which is exactly what the climate demands. Paired with double glazing and a thermal-break profile, modern aluminium windows cut heat transfer significantly — which shows up directly on your DEWA bill. They also take powder-coated and wood-look finishes, so performance doesn't cost you the look.
Aluminium window cost by type
| Window type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Sliding window | AED 600–850 / m² |
| Casement window | AED 500–800 / m² |
| Awning window | AED 550–850 / m² |
| Fixed window | AED 450–700 / m² |
| Double glazing (any type) | + AED 200–400 / m² |
Aluminium door cost by type
| Door type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Hinged / casement door | AED 500–1,200 / m² |
| Sliding door | AED 700–1,500 / m² |
| Bifold door | AED 1,200–2,500 / m² |
| Automatic sliding entrance | from AED 3,000 / unit |
Glazing: the biggest single variable
The glass you choose changes the price — and the performance — more than almost anything else:
- Single glazing — cheapest, but minimal insulation. Fine for internal or low-exposure openings.
- Double glazing — strongly recommended for Dubai; adds roughly AED 200–400/m² and cuts heat and noise.
- Triple glazing — maximum insulation, typically AED 800+/m² extra; used where performance is critical.
Finishes and hardware
Standard mill or silver aluminium is the most economical. Powder-coated colours, anodised and wood-textured finishes typically add 15–30% to the base cost. Upgraded hardware — multi-point locks, automated openers, premium handles — adds cost but improves security and feel.
Installation
Window installation generally runs AED 50–100 per m². For doors, fitting is often priced per door (around AED 500–1,000), and removing and disposing of old windows adds roughly AED 20–50 per window.
The energy payback
This is the part people underestimate. Poorly fitted or single-glazed windows can leak a large share of a building's cooling. Thermal-break aluminium with double glazing reduces that heat transfer substantially, and many homeowners report meaningful monthly savings on cooling — so the upfront cost buys lower bills for years.
