Glass Facade Dubai

Engineered glass facades for towers, mixed-use buildings, villas and commercial podiums across Dubai. From conventional stick-system curtain walls to unitised cassette facades and spider-bolted structural glazing — we deliver the complete design-build envelope.

Why choose Glasser UAE

  • Stick & unitised curtain wall systems
  • Spider / structural-bolted point glazing
  • Ventilated rear-fixed facades
  • Solar-control double & triple glazing
  • Wind-load & thermal engineering
  • BMU & MEWP-based safe installation
  • DCD Cladding Regulation 2017 compliant
  • Facade refurbishment & re-glazing

Facade Systems for the UAE Climate

Dubai's combination of intense solar load (over 6 kWh/m²/day on vertical surfaces during summer), high ambient temperatures and occasional sandstorm wind events make facade specification very different from temperate-climate projects. Successful Dubai facades combine solar-control low-e coated glass, thermally broken aluminium framing, structural silicone joints sized for thermal movement, and accessible cleaning provisions (BMU rail or eye-bolt anchors).

Glass Specification

Standard Dubai facade glass is a double-glazed unit with a solar-control low-e coating on the cavity face of the outer glass — typical performance: light transmission around 50–60%, solar heat-gain coefficient 0.25–0.35, U-value 1.6–1.8 W/m²K. For premium projects and high-performance specs, triple-glazed units, ceramic-fritted glass or external sun-shading systems push performance further.

Curtain Wall vs Structural Glazing

Conventional stick-system curtain wall uses visible aluminium mullions and transoms framing each glass pane — the most common and cost-effective approach. Unitised systems are factory-assembled into floor-height cassettes lifted into place from BMU — faster on-site, better quality control, premium aesthetic. Structural glazing uses point-bolted spider systems with no visible framing, ideal for atriums, lobbies and feature facades where transparency is critical.

Approvals & Compliance

Every facade scope we deliver is signed off against DCD Cladding Regulation 2017 (post-Address Hotel response), Dubai Municipality structural codes, and the developer's facade performance spec. We provide wind-load calculations, thermal break details, structural silicone test certificates and complete material traceability documentation.

Refurbishment & Re-glazing

Beyond new build, we handle facade refurbishment scope: failed IGU replacement, gasket renewal, silicone re-application, broken pane replacement and full re-cladding programmes for aging towers in older Dubai districts.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide facade engineering?+

Yes. Wind-load analysis, thermal performance calculations and structural sizing are part of every facade package we deliver.

Which glass do you use for facades?+

Double-glazed low-e units (typically 6+12+6 or 8+16+8) with solar-control coating tuned to UAE solar gain. Triple glazing on premium specifications.

What about fire-rated facades?+

Cladding fire-rating follows DCD Cladding Regulation 2017 — we install only A2-rated systems with certified composition.
