Office curtains in Dubai for the way your glass faces

Q: How much do office curtains cost?

Sheers start at AED 40 per m² of fabric and blackout curtains at AED 50, made and fitted; the fabric you choose sets the final price. Fabric is each window's width × height × fullness, 2.5 for a wave heading. A motor costs extra, as does scaffolding for double-height glass. Each window and part gets its own line on our quote.

If your staff squint at their screens once the sun comes round, office curtains in Dubai can fix it. The way the glass faces decides which kind. Desks in rows along the glass are the exception, and usually suit a blind at each window. Every curtain is made to measure in our own workshop.

Which office space needs curtains, at work or at home?

Your meeting room has glass on two sides

Anyone passing in the corridor can read your screen through the glass partition. A lined curtain on that wall keeps a client meeting out of sight. Tell us where the door and light switches are, so the open curtain gathers clear of both.

Your clinic or reception looks onto the street

It depends on your opening hours. In daylight a sheer keeps the room bright while people outside see little. If clients come after sunset, add a lined curtain on a second track: once your lights are on, a sheer hides little.

You work from a study at home

A bright window behind the laptop makes the screen hard to read. Behind your chair, it turns your face into a silhouette on video calls. A sheer drawn for afternoon calls softens both without darkening the study.

You're fitting out a floor with a handover date

Each drop is measured to the finished floor, so have the windows measured once ceilings, floors and glazing are done. Before the ceiling is boarded, ask for a timber or metal support above where long lined curtains hang, and a recess to hide the track.

Which way does your office glass face?

West-facing glass is in the sun through the afternoon, the hottest part of a Dubai day. The average August high is 42.1°C (Dubai Meteorological Office figures, 1977 to 2015). North-facing glass gets the least direct sun.

East	Morning, low and bright	A sheer; a lined curtain if screens face the glass	Morning meetings facing the window
West	Afternoon until sunset	Sheer plus a lined curtain, double track	Low sun straight onto screens
South	Most of the winter day; little in summer, when the sun is high	A sheer, drawn most in the cooler months	Winter sun reaching deep into the room
North	Little; low sun after sunrise and before sunset in summer	A sheer for privacy, or nothing	Sun reflected off the glass tower opposite

What can hang at an office window?

Office glass usually takes one or two curtains, and a motor if you want one.

The sheer
Window side
A closer weave cuts more glare and shows less of the view; an open one does the reverse.
The lined curtain
Room side
For a projector, a lining that dims is usually enough. Choose a blackout lining where west sun meets afternoon meetings.
A motorized sheer
West glass at 2 pm
A timer can draw the west-side sheers at the same time every afternoon, even when the room is empty. Tell us whether you want a remote, an app, a wall switch or a voice assistant, and we recommend a motor to suit.

How do you stop screen glare without losing daylight?

Most screen glare in an office starts at the windows. Sun or bright sky behind or beside you reflects in the screen, and a bright window behind the screen makes it look dim. Curtains deal with both by softening the light at the glass rather than shutting it out, so people keep working by daylight instead of lamps.

Rows of desks: a curtain drawn along a row darkens every desk at once. One blind per window lets each person set their own light, as our page on blinds for a whole office floor explains. Across wide glass, vertical blinds angle their slats against the sun and keep some of the view.
Heat: DEWA's own summer advice lists curtains among the ways to shade glass. On the west side, draw the sheers by lunchtime, before the sun reaches them. A lining with a pale back facing the glass absorbs less of the sun's heat than a dark one. Our guide to keeping the afternoon heat out goes further.
Good practice: UK screen-work rules (the Display Screen Equipment Regulations 1992) ask for an adjustable window covering to cut daylight on the desk. They don't apply in Dubai, but they make a useful benchmark.

Headings and tracks are explained alongside the rest of our curtains.

Who does what, from your first call to fitting day?

The Curtains Dubai measures your windows at a free home visit, makes the curtains in its own workshop, and fits them with its own team.

Call or WhatsApp us
A floor plan is the quickest start, with the spaces that need curtains marked on it. Without one, send a photo of each space.
The measuring visit
Every window is measured, and you choose sheer, lined or both for each space. We measure offices, warehouses and hotel apartments as well as homes, anywhere in Dubai. Fabric samples come with us, and a deposit confirms the order.
Made in our workshop
Most orders are fitted 3 working days after approval; a whole floor or a complicated job takes longer. Put any opening or handover date in writing on the order.
Fitting day
Before our fitter leaves, draw each curtain along its track and check the overlap where a pair meets. Our workmanship carries a 2-year warranty; later questions go to the salesperson who handled your order. By the end of the measuring visit, you'll know what each space needs: a sheer, a lined curtain, both, or a blind.

Do office curtains need to be fire-rated?

Your fit-out consultant or building management can tell you whether office curtains must be fire-rated. We supply fire-rated curtain fabrics on request, so mark the windows that need one before we quote. A rating built into the yarn usually lasts; one added as a finish can wash out.

What does the building need before fitting day?

Many managed towers want a contractor permit, agreed drilling hours and a service-lift booking before fitters arrive, so ask early. We arrange what the building asks of its contractor; you obtain and pass us any NOC due from the owner or tenant. If the building requires it, we work evenings, nights or weekends; the extra charge depends on the job.

Do curtains make an office quieter?

Office noise comes in two kinds, and curtains help with one. Echo in a glass meeting room usually falls once lined curtains hang along the glass, because their folds absorb sound. How far voices carry to the next room barely changes: the partition and its seals decide that, so ask your fit-out contractor.
