Double glazing in Dubai faces strong sun, humidity and dust. A failed seal shows up as fog between the panes. We repair, replace and install double glazing for villas and apartments. Send photos on WhatsApp 24/7 and we reply with next steps and a clear estimate before any work starts.
Send photos on WhatsApp or call 056 828 4120. For a cracked or unsafe pane, message first. Our line is open 24/7.
A double glazed unit has two panes held apart by a spacer bar. The gap is sealed and often filled with air or an inert gas such as argon. A desiccant inside the spacer absorbs trace moisture. That gap slows the movement of heat and sound through the window. The seal is the most important part. When it fails, the unit stops doing its job.
The frame matters too. The glass can be fitted in uPVC, aluminium or timber and held by gaskets and glazing beads. Our uPVC window repair and aluminium door repair pages cover frame problems separately.
Results depend on the glass, the frame and how well the unit is sealed. We explain your options before we begin.
Dubai buildings add their own conditions. Villas often have large sliding doors and wide windows facing the sun. Apartments in towers have high floors where access is harder. Some buildings need approval for work on the outside of the glass. Check your building rules before any exterior change.
| What you see | Likely cause | Usual fix |
|---|---|---|
| Mist or fog between the panes | Failed seal | Replace the sealed unit |
| Cracked pane | Impact or heat stress | Replace the glass |
| Draught around the frame | Worn gasket or sealant | Reseal or replace gaskets |
| Window hard to open or close | Hardware or frame wear | Repair or replace hardware |
| Water at the base of the window | Blocked drain channel or bad sealant | Clear and reseal |
Small problems can grow. An ignored draught may become a leak after heavy rain. A hairline crack can spread when the glass heats up in the afternoon. A fogged unit cannot be cleaned from inside, because the moisture is trapped. Replacing the sealed unit is the normal solution, and the frame often stays.
Repair is usually enough when the frame is sound and only the gasket, sealant or hardware has worn out. Replace the unit when the seal has failed or the glass is cracked. Replace the whole window when the frame itself is damaged. Send photos of the window and a close-up of the problem and we will tell you which route fits.
Tell us about any deadline, such as a move-in date, when you first message us. We explain your options before we begin.
Based on market pricing, costs can vary depending on material type, dimensions, glass or aluminium specifications, damage level, replacement requirements, and installation complexity. For windows, the main factors are glass type, damage level, window size and access. The table shows typical ranges published by Dubai providers in October 2026.
| Work | Typical market range | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Minor repair: handle, seal, adjustment | About AED 150 to 600 | Part availability, minimum visit |
| Misted unit or cracked pane | About AED 500 to 2,000 or more | Glass size, safety type, access |
| Larger glass replacement | About AED 700 to 3,500 or more | Thickness, lead time, frame |
| New double glazing | About AED 80 to 140 per sq ft | Window size, glass, frame |

Market prices range from about AED 150 for minor repairs. A misted unit or cracked pane is about AED 2,000 or more. New double glazing is quoted per square foot. We give you a clear estimate on WhatsApp after seeing photos and before any work starts.
The seal has failed and moisture has entered the gap between the panes. The moisture cannot be removed, so the sealed unit needs replacing. The frame often stays. Send us a photo and we will confirm before any work starts.
Often yes. If the frame is sound, we can replace only the sealed unit, gaskets or hardware. If the frame itself is damaged, replacing the whole window may be the better option. Send photos of the window and the problem and we will advise.
The time depends on how many windows you have, their size and whether units are repaired or replaced. We do not promise a fixed time before we have seen photos and measurements. Message us for next steps before any work starts.
Yes. Our WhatsApp and phone line is open 24/7. You can send photos of your windows at any time of day. We reply with next steps and a clear estimate before any work starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.
It can reduce how much heat passes through the window. The effect depends on the glass type, the frame and the quality of the seal. We explain your options before we begin, so you can choose the glass that suits the room.
No. It reduces noise but does not remove it. Laminated glass and tight seals help more than basic clear glass. If noise is your main concern, tell us which side of the building the window faces. We will explain your options.
Sometimes. The frame must be sound and deep enough to hold the unit. Older or damaged frames may need replacing. Send photos of the frame and any measurements you have. We will tell you what is possible before any work starts.
Yes. Sealed units sit in uPVC, aluminium or timber frames, and the unit can usually be repaired or replaced whichever frame holds it. See uPVC window repair for frame problems. Send photos of the window and we will advise.
Some buildings need approval for work that changes the outside of the glass. Check your building rules or ask your landlord or community manager before any exterior change. Tell us if approval is needed so we can plan around it.
