Aluminum Doors & Windows Cost in the UAE — How Prices Are Calculated and What Factors Affect Them

Aluminum is the most widely used material for doors and windows in UAE homes and villas due to its strong resistance to humidity, heat, and its precise structural performance.
However, price variations between companies often confuse customers, as the cost is not determined by “price per meter” alone but by several technical factors.

This article explains how aluminum door and window costs are calculated and highlights the key specifications you should check before approving any quotation.

1. Factors That Determine the Price of Aluminum Doors & Windows

1) Type of Aluminum Used

At Salah Ibrahim Kitchens & Décor Solutions, we rely on two main types:

• High-Density Aluminum Profiles

  • High durability
  • Excellent resistance to climate conditions
  • Suitable for homes, villas, and commercial projects

• Thermal Break Aluminum

  • Prevents heat transfer
  • Ideal for large windows and open kitchens

The thicker and higher-quality the profile, the higher the price — but also the longer the lifespan.

2) Type of Glass Used

Glass forms a major portion of the overall cost.

Common Types:

  • Double Glazing: Thermal and sound insulation; ideal for villas near traffic areas
  • Low-E or Reflective Glass: Reduces heat and enhances energy efficiency
  • Tempered Glass: High strength and break resistance

Each type has a different cost and directly affects the final price.

3) Profile and Panel Thickness

Common thicknesses: 1.2 mm, 1.6 mm, 2 mm

A higher thickness means:

  • More strength
  • Better weather resistance
  • Higher cost

4) Type of Coating and Finish

Electrostatic Powder Coating

Used in all Salah Ibrahim projects and known for:

  • Scratch resistance
  • Long-lasting color stability
  • Wide range of colors: matte, glossy, metallic, wood-like

Anodized Finish

  • Sleek metallic appearance
  • Good corrosion resistance
  • Higher cost in some cases

5) Accessories and Locking Systems

Hinges, rollers, handles, and sliding mechanisms can account for 15–25% of the cost.

Premium accessories such as:
Soft Closing – Heavy Duty Rollers – European Locks
increase the price but significantly extend the product lifespan.

6) Opening Size & Design Requirements

Pricing depends on:

  • Window type (sliding, push-out, pivot, hinged)
  • Opening dimensions
  • Extra frames or divisions
  • Required glass thickness

2. How Is the Price Per Meter Calculated?

There is no fixed price per meter.
It includes:

  • Profile type
  • Thickness
  • Glass type
  • Finish
  • Accessories
  • Installation costs

Thus, comparing “price per meter” between companies is not meaningful without technical details.

3. Average Aluminum Door & Window Prices in the UAE

(Approximate and may vary depending on specifications)

  • High-quality aluminum doors: AED 500–900 per meter
  • Sliding windows: AED 350–650 per meter
  • Thermal Break windows: AED 700–1,200 per meter
  • Double Glazing: AED 120–200 per meter (added to base price)

4. Why Do Prices Differ Between Companies?

✓ Profile quality
✓ Glass type
