The fabric decides the room, not the heading

Every shade in this category, draped and lit on a real window. A colour that looks flat in a photograph often reads completely differently once light is coming through it.

Why made-to-measure beats ready-made in the UAE

Ready-made curtains are cut for a standard European window. Homes here are not built that way. Villa majlis windows run three metres and higher, apartment towers in Marina and Al Majaz have full-height glazing, and older Sharjah buildings often have deep recesses that a shop-bought panel simply cannot cover. A panel that stops short of the sill lets a bright line of Gulf sun straight into the room, and that gap is exactly where the heat comes in too.

Measuring on site removes the guesswork. We record the track width, the finished drop, the ceiling type and whether the wall can take a bracket, then cut to those numbers, on the heading you choose — pinch pleat, wave, eyelet or tab top. The curtain hangs flat, closes fully, and sits where it should.

Blackout and chiffon sheer — what we actually stock

Our warehouse carries four catalogues. Catalogues 301, 302 and 303 are blackout: 301 is textured, 302 is a clean plain weave, and 303 is jacquard with a woven pattern. Catalogue 401 is chiffon sheer, the light, floating fabric most people call voile or net.

Because the stock sits in our own warehouse rather than with an importer, we are not waiting on a container to fill an order. That is the difference between a three-day turnaround and a three-week one.

The layered look, and why most UAE homes end up there

The pairing that works best in this climate is a chiffon sheer on the front track with a blackout on the back — the layered pair. Through the day the sheer softens the glare and keeps the room private without shutting it in. At night, or through the worst of the afternoon in July, the blackout closes over it and the room goes dark and noticeably cooler. It is two separate curtains on a double track, and it is the single most requested combination we fit.

What the price includes

One figure covers the fabric, the tailoring, the track, the runners, hooks and ceiling brackets, the measuring visit and the installation. Where a customer wants motorisation we quote that as a clearly separate line rather than folding it into the base price. Larger orders move down the discount ladder automatically — a full villa is priced very differently to a single bedroom.

Questions

Curtains & Drapes — your questions

What curtains are best for the UAE climate?
A blackout layer is doing most of the work — it stops the solar gain that heats the room. Pair it with a chiffon sheer and you get a usable daytime setting instead of choosing between full sun and full dark. That layered combination is what we fit most often, and it is what most homes here settle on.
How much do custom curtains cost in Dubai?
For a standard 2m × 3m window, a made-to-measure chiffon sheer starts around AED 560 and a blackout around AED 750, including track, accessories and fitting. A layered pair is roughly AED 1,190. Larger orders move down the discount ladder — a full villa is priced very differently to one bedroom. Use the estimator for your own window sizes.
Do you make curtains for villas and large windows?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Drops up to 400 cm without a join, with tracks jointed and supported for long spans. Very tall or awkward windows are exactly where motorisation earns its cost.
Can I supply my own fabric?
We can make up customer-supplied fabric, but we cannot warranty a material we did not source, and we would need to see it before committing to a quantity — fabric width and pattern repeat change how much is needed. Talk to us before buying anything.

Choosing curtains for a UAE home: headings, linings and the details that matter

Buying curtains in Dubai: what the price depends on

Most people comparing curtains in Dubai are really comparing three things without being told so. The first is fullness — a pinch pleat cut at 2.0x uses a quarter less cloth than a wave at 2.5x, and that alone explains many curtains Dubai price differences. The second is the track length, measured past the glass rather than across the window. The third is whether the quote is for one curtain or for a sheer and a blackout on a double track. A curtains shop in Dubai selling ready-made panels is solving a different problem from a made-to-measure supplier: the panel is cheaper, and it fits the window it was cut for rather than yours. If you want to buy curtains in Dubai without guessing, the estimator prices your own measurements before anyone visits, and curtains and drapes across Dubai and Sharjah are fitted by our own team rather than subcontracted.

The best curtains for Dubai apartments are decided by four things rather than by colour, and once you have chosen curtains rather than blinds those four remain, and they are made in this order: how the curtain hangs, how much light it stops, how full it is, and how it is fixed to the room. The styles above answer the first. This section covers the rest, because they affect the result more than most people expect and are hardest to change afterwards.

Curtain heading types in the UAE, and what each one changes

A heading is how the top of the curtain is gathered, and it sets the character of the whole window. A pinch pleat is the traditional choice: deep, structured folds that hold their shape whether the curtain is open or closed, and the most forgiving on an uneven ceiling. A wave heading is the modern one — a continuous, even S-curve that suits long straight runs and full-height glazing, and it needs the most fabric of any heading. An eyelet threads onto a pole and reads as more casual; it needs a pole rather than a track, which rules it out where there is no wall above the glass. Curtain headings explained goes through the trade-offs with the fullness each one needs.

Blackout vs sheer curtains, and where dimout fits

A blackout fabric is not a dark-coloured fabric. In our books the light-stopping layer is woven into the cloth rather than glued on the back, which is why a pale blackout exists at all — a cream curtain can stop as much light as a charcoal one. A dimout softens light without removing it. A chiffon sheer does the opposite job: privacy in daylight while keeping the room bright, which is the reason so many homes here run two layers on a double track rather than choosing between them. Blackout or sheer sets out which rooms genuinely need which.

One point that surprises people: with any blackout, the fabric is rarely what lets the light in. Light comes around the sides, over the top and through the gap where two panels meet. That is a fitting problem, not a fabric problem, and it is solved by running the track well past the glass, overlapping the panels in the centre and going floor length.

Fullness, and why a cheaper quote can look cheaper

Fullness is the multiplier between your track width and the width of cloth used. At 2.0x a three metre track takes six metres of fabric; at 2.5x it takes seven and a half. Cutting fullness is the easiest way to reduce a quotation and the easiest way to spoil the result — a curtain cut lean hangs flat, the folds fall out, and no amount of dressing fixes it. If you are comparing two prices, ask what fullness each one is quoted at before you compare anything else.

Length, stack and the things measured on the day

Floor length curtains in Dubai read better than sill length on almost every window in a modern apartment, and the hem should just touch. Where the curtain sits when it is open matters too: the width of fabric gathered at the side is the stack, and if the track stops at the glass the stack sits across your window and your view. Running the track 15–20 cm onto the wall each side puts the stack on the wall where it belongs. What the ceiling will take is the other visit-day question — a concrete slab takes a ceiling-fixed track anywhere, a false ceiling needs the fixing to reach something solid, and a shallow bulkhead may not have the depth for a double track at all. The tracks and rails page covers what goes where.

Living with them here

Curtains in this climate collect dust more than dirt, and dust is what dulls a colour. Taking it off regularly does more for the look than washing ever will, and most of our fabrics are not improved by a washing machine — cleaning curtains without taking them down covers the method. Where a curtain will take direct afternoon sun, a sheer in front of it is the cheapest protection you can buy, and it is the layer that is inexpensive to replace when it eventually goes.

All four fabric catalogues come to the home on the measuring visit, so the shade is judged in the light it will live in rather than under a showroom lamp.

Anyone comparing curtains Dubai price across suppliers should compare fullness first.

Second order with them. They still had the record of my first fabric so the new room matches the old one exactly.

Mariam Al Shamsi Al Zahra, Ajman · February 2026
Blackout Curtains
★★★★★

They talked me out of the fabric I originally wanted because it would not hold the pleat at that drop. They were right. That kind of advice is why I have already recommended them twice.

Khalid Al Ameri Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi · February 2026
Pinch Pleat Curtains
★★★★☆

Motorised track in the bedroom. Works well and is quieter than I expected. The remote pairing took two visits to get right, hence four stars, but they came back the same week and sorted it.

Excellent fabric and fitting. Communication in the week before the visit could have been slightly better, but the work itself is faultless.

Full villa, eleven windows. They handled it in one day with three fitters. Having their own warehouse stock clearly made the difference on the timeline.

The dressing of the pleats after hanging is what I noticed. They tied them and left them to set, then came back to release them. Nobody else offered that.

Nadia Belhaj Jumeirah 1, Dubai · January 2026
Pinch Pleat Curtains
★★★★★

Fitted nearly a year ago. The colour has not faded on the window that gets direct afternoon sun, which is what I was most worried about.

Rajesh Kumar Muhaisnah, Dubai · December 2025
Blackout Curtains
★★★★★

Two tracks in the bedroom, sheer in front. The sun comes straight into that window in the morning and now it is completely manageable.

Ordered on a Monday, fitted on the Friday. Five days from measuring to hanging, exactly as they said. The blackout is genuine — the room is dark at noon.

My daughter used to wake at 5:30 with the sun. First morning after the fitting she slept until 7. That alone was worth it. Fabric is from book 303 and it feels much heavier than what I was shown elsewhere.

Good price, good fabric and a team that turned up when they said. There is not much more to ask for.

Shaheen Akhtar Al Yarmook, Sharjah · July 2026
Blackout Curtains
★★★★★

Two bedrooms and the majlis, all catalogue 302. The team measured on the Saturday and fitted the following Thursday. What I did not expect was how much cooler the west bedroom is now in the afternoon — the AC stopped running constantly.
