Technical guidance, specification tools and reference material for architects, consultants, main contractors, glazing contractors and clients working with aluminium glazing in Dubai and the UAE. Written from what we actually do in the workshop and on site — not marketing literature.
Guidance documents
Guide to Survey & Installation
How an aluminium window, door or glazed screen goes from a measured opening to a signed-off installation in Dubai: establishing the client’s requirements, assessing the substrate, measuring and deriving manufacturing sizes, the Dubai permit and NOC route, fixing centres and corrosion grades, glazing, perimeter sealing in this climate, and what has to be demonstrated at handover. Includes a final inspection checklist and a survey data sheet.

Keeping a powder-coated or anodised finish, the glass, the seals and the hardware in warranty condition in a hot, dusty and — across much of Dubai’s prime residential stock — salt-laden environment. Cleaning frequency by exposure zone, what must never be used on an aluminium finish, hard water and irrigation overspray, drainage and sliding tracks, hardware, coating repair and its limits, and the maintenance record a marine warranty depends on.
