If you’re replacing windows in your Dubai villa or apartment, understanding the real cost is the first step. This guide covers every aluminium window type, all glass options, and what drives prices up or down — based on our 18 years and 30,000+ installations across Dubai and the UAE.
Quick answer: Aluminium windows in Dubai cost from AED 220/sqm (fixed) to AED 650/sqm (premium tilt-and-turn with Low-E double glazing), supply and installation included. A typical Dubai villa with 15–20 windows costs AED 18,000–45,000 depending on the window type and glass specification.
Aluminium Window Prices Dubai 2026 — By Type
| Window Type | Starting Price | Premium Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed windows | AED 220/sqm | AED 350/sqm | Panoramic views, commercial facades |
| Sliding windows | AED 250/sqm | AED 400/sqm | Apartments, villas — most popular |
| Casement windows | AED 300/sqm | AED 450/sqm | Villas, maximum ventilation |
| Tilt & turn windows | AED 450/sqm | AED 650/sqm | High-rise, European style |
| Commercial standard | AED 280/sqm | AED 400/sqm | Offices, shops |
All prices include supply, fabrication (in our Al Quoz, Dubai workshop), and on-site installation. Exclude 5% VAT. Low-E double glazing adds AED 40–80/sqm.
What Affects Aluminium Window Prices in Dubai?
1. Window Type
Fixed windows have no moving parts, making them the most cost-effective per square metre. Sliding windows add rollers, tracks, and locks. Casement windows add friction stays and multi-point locks. Tilt-and-turn windows use premium European hardware (Roto, Siegenia, or Winkhaus) which adds significantly to the cost.
2. Glass Specification
This is the single biggest price variable:
- Single glazing (6mm clear): Lowest cost. Fine for internally air-conditioned spaces where heat gain is less critical.
- Standard double glazing (4+12+4mm): U-value 3.5–4.0 W/m²K. AED 20–40/sqm premium over single glazing.
- Low-E double glazing (4+12+4mm Low-E): U-value 2.0–2.5 W/m²K. The recommended specification for Dubai. Reduces heat gain by 40–50%. AED 40–60/sqm premium.
- Low-E argon-filled double glazing: U-value 1.4–1.8 W/m²K. Premium energy performance. AED 60–80/sqm premium.
- Acoustic laminated double glazing: For properties near Sheikh Zayed Road, airports, or active construction. Reduces noise by 35–42 dB.
3. Profile Series (Aluminium Grade)
- Standard series (45–55mm depth): 6063-T5 aluminium. Cost-effective for standard apartments.
- Enhanced thermally broken series (60–70mm): Polyamide thermal break. Recommended for Dubai villas.
- Premium series (75mm+): Deepest thermal break, highest performance. For luxury properties and commercial buildings.
4. Window Size
Larger windows cost less per sqm because the frame-to-glass ratio decreases. A 2m × 2m window costs less per sqm than a 0.5m × 0.5m window.
5. Installation Complexity
Ground-floor villas: standard pricing. High-rise above 5 floors: access equipment, building management coordination, and safety requirements add 15–25% to installation cost.
Single vs Double Glazing — Which Is Right for Dubai?
For Dubai specifically, Low-E double glazing is almost always worth the investment. Here’s why:
A typical Dubai villa with 15 windows replacing single glazed to Low-E double glazed will:
- Reduce solar heat gain by 40–50%
- Reduce DEWA electricity bills by 20–30%
- Achieve payback within 3–5 years
- Increase property value and saleability
The payback is fastest for south-facing and west-facing windows, which receive the most direct afternoon sun in Dubai.
Single glazing makes sense only for: utility rooms, pump rooms, store rooms, and spaces that are not air-conditioned.
How Much Do 15 Dubai Villa Windows Cost?
A typical Dubai villa window replacement (15 windows, mix of sliding and casement, thermally broken Low-E double glazing) costs approximately:
- Budget (standard series, basic DG): AED 18,000–24,000
- Mid-range (thermally broken, Low-E DG): AED 28,000–38,000
- Premium (thermally broken, Low-E argon, slim sightlines): AED 42,000–58,000
Aluminium vs UPVC Windows — Dubai Price Comparison
Many clients ask whether UPVC is cheaper. In the short term, yes — by about 20–30%. But in Dubai’s climate:
- UPVC warps at surface temperatures above 70°C (regularly exceeded in Dubai summer)
- UPVC lifespan in Dubai: 8–12 years before warping, discolouration, and seal failure
- Aluminium lifespan in Dubai: 30–40 years with minimal maintenance
- Aluminium offers slimmer frames (more glass, better views)
- Aluminium recycles 100% at end of life
Over a 20-year period, aluminium windows in Dubai are more cost-effective than UPVC when maintenance, replacement, and energy costs are factored in.
