Blackout Curtains in Dubai
Full darkness and real heat control, cut to your window from catalogues 301, 302 and…
Most of what we fit in Dubai is behind floor-to-ceiling glazing, which is a different job from a standard window — long drops, heavy solar gain, and a track that has to be set into or just under the ceiling to look right.
Not listed? Ask anyway — this is where we go most often, not a boundary.
In the tower communities — Marina, JLT, Business Bay, Downtown — the glass usually runs the full height of the room and there is very little wall to work with above it. That pushes you towards a ceiling-fixed track and a wave heading, because a chunky pole and a pleat header need wall space that is simply not there. West-facing units take the afternoon sun straight on, which is where the layered chiffon-and-blackout pairing earns its keep: sheer during the day so the room is not dark, blackout closed before the sun comes round rather than after the room has already heated up. In the villa communities — Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills, Damac Hills, Town Square — there is more wall, taller majlis windows and often a stairwell window nobody measures properly, so pinch pleat and eyelet headings come back into play.
You pick a slot, our team arrives with the physical catalogues, and the whole thing usually takes under an hour. We measure the track width and the finished drop for every window you want covered, check what the ceiling will take, and note anything that changes the fitting — a shallow bulkhead, an AC vent directly above the window, a wall that is not square. Then you get one written figure that covers the track, the fabric, the tailoring and the fitting.
Dubai is where we work most often, so slots are usually the easiest to get here. If you are in a tower, it is worth checking with building management before the visit — many buildings have their own rules about drilling and about when contractors can work, and knowing that up front saves a second trip.
Take a two-bedroom apartment in the Marina or JLT with the glazing running floor to ceiling: one wide living and dining span onto the balcony, and a window of the same height in each bedroom. The drop is the thing that moves the number here. A 2.9 m finished drop is roughly a third more cloth per metre of track than a standard 2.2 m window, which is why quotes for tower apartments come in higher than people expect from a villa quote they have seen. Layered chiffon and blackout on a twin track, because west-facing units need both.

Illustrative sizes, not a quotation — your windows will not be these. It is the same calculation the price estimator runs, so put your own measurements in and you will get your own range. Both cover fabric, tailoring, track, runners, hooks, brackets and installation. The figure only becomes a fixed price once someone has measured.
The most common order is a blackout and sheer double layer on a twin track — chiffon sheer from book 401 in front for daytime privacy, and a blackout from 301, 302 or 303 behind it. If you would rather see the range first, the fabrics catalogues has all 76 shades, and the price estimator gives you a figure for your own window size before anyone visits.

Searching for curtains near you in Dubai usually means you want someone to come out rather than a shop to visit. Curtain fitting for a Dubai apartment works that way: rather than a curtain shop in Dubai you travel to, the four fabric books come to the home, every window is measured on the spot, and you get one written price covering fabric, tailoring, track and curtain installation in Dubai. We fit curtains across Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, JVC, Mirdif and the villa communities, and the visit is free whether or not you order.
Made-to-measure curtains in Dubai are worth the difference wherever the opening is not a standard size — which, across towers and villa communities, is most of them. A ready-made panel is cut to a size the factory chose; a made-to-measure curtain is cut to your window, and the fitting is what closes the light gaps at the sides that no fabric can fix. If you would rather see a figure before booking anything, the price estimator works from your own measurements.
Two kinds of home dominate the work here, and they need different things. A tower apartment is mostly glass, with no wall above the window and a bulkhead where a track has to sit. A villa in one of the outer communities has conventional openings, more wall to work with, and usually more windows per room.
With floor to ceiling curtains in Dubai apartments there is nowhere to fix a pole, so the track goes into the ceiling or the bulkhead — and the depth of that bulkhead decides whether a double track will fit, which is the question to settle before choosing a sheer-and-blackout pairing. Long uninterrupted runs also suit a wave heading better than a pinch pleat: the fold repeats evenly across the whole span rather than breaking it into sections. Stack matters more here than anywhere: a curtain that parks across the glass is covering the view you are paying rent for, so the track runs well onto the return wall.
Higher floors take more direct sun for longer, with nothing outside to shade them. A single blackout leaves you choosing between full sun and a dark room, which is why most apartments here end up with two layers — a sheer for the day and a blackout for the night. On a west elevation, closing before the sun arrives rather than after is the whole argument for a motorised track on a timer.
In the villa communities the constraints reverse: there is wall above most windows, so a pole is an option and a heading like eyelet becomes available. Ground-floor rooms facing a garden or a street usually want daytime privacy without losing light, which is a sheer question rather than a blackout one. Stairwell and double-height glazing is common and is the one place in a villa where reaching the curtain is a genuine problem worth solving mechanically.
Access and timing vary between buildings, so tell us the building and the parking situation when you book — it affects the slot rather than the price. If a fit-out is under way, measuring after the ceiling is finished avoids re-measuring. And if you are furnishing the whole apartment, doing it in one order lets us cut from the same roll. The estimator gives you a figure for your own sizes before anyone visits.
If you are trying to buy curtains in dubai, the practical question is not who is cheapest but what the quote includes and how the curtain will be fitted — tower glazing means the track matters as much as the cloth. The best curtains in dubai are simply the ones specified for the window they are going on: the right fullness, a track run past the glass, and a drop to the floor. Blackout curtains in dubai are the usual request for bedrooms, with a chiffon sheer in front for the daytime. Everything above is quoted as one figure covering fabric, tailoring, track and fitting.
Collected after installation across Dubai, Sharjah and the northern emirates.
They cover Ajman properly, which many Dubai companies do not. No extra travel charge and they arrived on time.
Went for the double layer after seeing the books at home. Sheer during the day, blackout at night, and the two tracks were installed level to the millimetre. Price on the quote was the price I paid.
The consultant brought all four catalogue books to the flat. Seeing the fabric against my own window in daylight completely changed which colour I picked — the one I chose online looked grey in my living room.
I only wanted sheers for the living room. They did not try to upsell me into blackout, which I appreciated. The chiffon softens the light beautifully and the room still feels bright.
Floor-to-ceiling glass on two sides. The sheers cut the glare without making the apartment dark, and the fitters got the drop right to the centimetre above the floor.
Very good work and a fair price. The only reason for four stars is that the first fitting slot was moved by a day. Once they arrived it took under three hours for four windows and they cleaned up after themselves.
Pinch pleat in the formal sitting room. The folds are even across the whole width, which is the part cheap curtains always get wrong. They hung and dressed them properly before leaving.
Good blinds at a good price. I would have liked a wider colour choice in the roller range, but for the blackout function they do exactly what was promised.
They came all the way to RAK for two bedrooms and still gave me the same fixed price. Fitted in one visit.
Sheers for a small apartment on a budget. They were honest that I did not need a heavier fabric for a north-facing room instead of selling me the expensive book.
Fair work for a fair price. Delivery was a day later than first indicated but they called ahead rather than leaving me waiting.
Book 303 jacquard in the majlis. Guests keep asking where they came from. The pattern lines up across the two panels, which I did not think to ask about and they did anyway.
