Aluminium Doors in Dubai

A wide entrance may need a completely different door system from a compact office opening. A balcony connection has different requirements from an internal partition door. And when there isn’t enough room for a door leaf to swing comfortably, a sliding system may make better use of the available space.

That’s why choosing an aluminium door should begin with the actual opening and how you intend to use it—not simply with a catalogue picture.

IST Works L.L.C provides custom aluminium doors in Dubai, including supply and installation for villas, apartments, offices, shops and suitable commercial properties.

We can assess the opening, required door configuration and design before preparing the project quotation.

Opening → Usage → Swing or Sliding → Aluminium Frame → Glass/Panel → Measurement → Fabrication → Installation

Custom Aluminium Door Price

Request a Quote Based on Your Dimensions & Design

Pricing depends on the door dimensions, configuration, aluminium system, glass or panel requirements, hardware, finish, quantity and installation conditions.

What Kind of Door Does Your Opening Need?

Before discussing frame colours or handles, answer one question:

How should the door move?

This immediately helps narrow the options.

If there is enough clear space around the opening, a swing door may be suitable.

If floor space needs to remain clear or the opening is wider, a sliding configuration may be worth considering.

Some projects require a single door.

Others may require double doors or a combination of fixed and opening sections.

The correct solution depends on the opening, surrounding space and intended use.

Aluminium glass partition Swing Doors

A swing door uses a hinged opening movement.

It is a familiar and practical configuration for many residential and commercial applications.

Custom aluminium swing doors can be considered for suitable:

Villa entrances and internal areas
Apartment applications
Offices
Shops
Commercial interiors
Utility areas
Aluminium and glass partitions

Depending on the project, the requirement may involve a single swing door or double-door arrangement.

The direction in which the door opens also matters.

Before measurement, check whether the proposed swing path conflicts with furniture, walls, counters, other doors or circulation space.

Aluminium Sliding Doors

A sliding door moves horizontally rather than requiring a conventional swing area.

That can make it useful where preserving usable floor space is important.

Aluminium sliding doors can be considered for suitable:

Apartments
Villas
Balcony connections
Interior spaces
Offices
Commercial properties
Wider openings

But don’t choose sliding simply because it looks modern.

There needs to be enough suitable space for the moving panel or panels and the required system.

The opening and surrounding area should be assessed together.

[Ask About Sliding Aluminium Doors]

Aluminium Glass Doors

Aluminium and glass work particularly well together when you want a framed door while maintaining visibility and natural light.

An aluminium frame provides the structural framework for the door, while the glass forms part of the overall design.

Suitable applications can include:

office entrances

glass-partition doors

commercial interiors

villa and apartment applications

selected shop and workplace entrances

The appropriate glass specification should be selected according to the particular application and project requirements.

If privacy is important, tell us when requesting the quotation.

Single Aluminium Doors

For a smaller or more straightforward opening, a single-door configuration may be appropriate.

The important details include:

frame requirement

glass or panel requirement

hardware

surrounding wall condition

A photograph of the complete opening helps us understand these details much better than dimensions alone.

Double Aluminium Doors

Wider openings may call for a double-door arrangement.

Double aluminium doors can provide a broader entrance while maintaining a coordinated frame design.

Before deciding on this configuration, consider:

Total opening width
How frequently the entrance is used
Required opening arrangement
Surrounding space
Glass or panel design
Hardware requirements
Site conditions

For commercial projects, drawings or elevations are useful where the double-door arrangement is part of a larger façade or interior system.

Sliding or Swing Aluminium Door?

This is one of the most useful decisions to make early.

Consideration	Swing Door	Sliding Door
Movement	Opens on hinges	Moves horizontally
Swing space	Required	Not required in the same way
Compact floor area	Depends on layout	Can be useful
Wide openings	Possible configuration	Often worth considering
Operation	Familiar hinged movement	Sliding movement
Best choice	Depends on opening	Depends on opening

Neither system is automatically better.

The correct choice depends on the space.

Choose based on movement, not appearance alone.

A beautiful swing door that constantly hits furniture is not a good solution.

A sliding door without suitable space for its movement is not a good solution either.

The Opening Tells Us a Lot

When we assess an aluminium door requirement, we want to see more than the empty space where the door will go.

We also want to understand what surrounds it.

Take a wide photograph showing:

left side of opening

right side

floor

top of opening

nearby wall

existing frame, if any

furniture or obstacles

For a sliding door, show the area beside the opening as well.

For a swing door, show the area where the door is expected to open.

This makes the initial assessment much more useful.

Custom Aluminium Doors Made to Fit

Not every property has a standard opening.

Renovations, villas, offices and older properties can all have dimensions that require a custom solution.

A custom aluminium door can be prepared according to the confirmed project dimensions rather than forcing a standard-size product into an unsuitable opening.

This is particularly useful when:

Opening dimensions are non-standard
An old door is being replaced
A new partition has been constructed
A commercial fit-out has specific drawings
Glass and aluminium need to work together
Multiple doors need coordinated dimensions

Final fabrication dimensions should be based on confirmed project measurements.

Aluminium Doors for Villas in Dubai

Villa door requirements can vary considerably within the same property.

One project might include:

sliding aluminium doors

swing doors

aluminium glass doors

doors associated with interior glass work

replacement doors

Instead of treating each opening separately, it can be useful to send us the complete requirement.

For example:

Ground floor — 2 sliding doors
First floor — 3 swing doors
Office room — 1 aluminium glass door

Then provide photographs or drawings for each location.

This gives us a better understanding of the overall project.

Aluminium Doors for Apartments

Apartment projects often require careful use of available space.

Before selecting a door, consider whether the opening configuration interferes with:

furniture

curtains

walls

other doors

circulation areas

For replacement projects, send photographs of the existing door before removal where practical.

Include the complete frame and surrounding opening.

This helps establish whether you are looking for a similar replacement or want to change the door configuration entirely.

Aluminium Doors for Offices

Office doors often need to coordinate with the wider interior.

For example, an office with glass partitions may require aluminium-framed glass doors that visually relate to the partition system.

Suitable applications can include:

Private offices
Meeting rooms
Manager cabins
Internal entrances
Reception areas
Workplace partitions
Other commercial spaces

For a new office fit-out, send the floor plan or elevation if available.

If the office is already complete, photographs and approximate dimensions are usually enough to begin discussing the project.

Aluminium Doors for Shops & Commercial Properties

Commercial door requirements can involve higher quantities or several different opening sizes.

For contractors and business owners, prepare a simple door schedule where possible.

For example:

Door	Location	Quantity	Approx. Size
D01	Main Area	1	Project dimension
D02	Office	3	Project dimension
D03	Meeting Room	2	Project dimension

If architectural drawings are available, attach them.

For larger projects, this is much clearer than sending several unrelated photographs without identifying where each door belongs.

Aluminium Doors With Clear Glass

Clear glass can be considered where visibility and light are priorities.

This can work well in suitable office and commercial environments where the aim is to separate spaces without making them feel completely enclosed.

The final glass selection should still correspond with the intended application.

For an office project, tell us whether privacy is required before the glass specification is finalized.

Aluminium Doors With Frosted or Privacy Glass

Some spaces need separation without full visibility.

In these situations, a privacy-oriented glass treatment or specification may be considered depending on the project.

This can be useful for suitable:

Offices
Meeting rooms
Internal commercial spaces
Other privacy-sensitive areas

Rather than assuming every aluminium glass door should be transparent, tell us what the room is used for.

The use of the room can help guide the appropriate solution.

Aluminium Door Frames

The frame is not simply a border around the door.

It is part of the complete system.

When planning an aluminium door, the frame needs to correspond with:

door configuration

opening

glass or panel

hardware

movement

installation conditions

This is particularly important when a door is being integrated with an aluminium-and-glass partition or other surrounding system.

For custom work, the complete assembly should be considered rather than selecting individual components independently.

Aluminium Door Finishes

The aluminium finish affects how the door relates to the surrounding interior or exterior design.

The suitable finish and available options should be confirmed according to the selected aluminium system and project requirements.

If you have a specific visual direction, send:

interior rendering

reference photograph

existing aluminium work you want to coordinate with.

For commercial projects, identify any required finish in the project specification where available.

Door Hardware Matters

A door is used through its hardware.

Handles, hinges, rollers, guides, locks and related components—depending on the door configuration—contribute to how the finished system operates.

Hardware should therefore be considered together with:

door size + weight + configuration + usage + frame system.

We avoid assuming that one hardware specification is appropriate for every aluminium door.

If the project has a specific hardware requirement, include it in the quotation request.

Aluminium Sliding Door Tracks & Movement

For a sliding system, the path of the door matters.

Before confirming the design, check what is beside and around the opening.

Is there a wall?

Furniture?

Curtains?

A cabinet?

Another opening?

The door needs a suitable movement path.

This is why a sliding-door enquiry should include a photograph showing more than the opening itself.

Stand further back.

Show us where the door needs to travel.

New Aluminium Door Installation

For a new opening, the process can begin from drawings or actual site conditions.

If the project is still under construction, provide:

Opening dimensions
Floor plan
Elevation if available
Required door type
Glass/panel requirement
Quantity
Project location

Relevant final measurements should correspond with the appropriate finished site conditions before fabrication.

Replacing an Existing Door

An existing door may be replaced because it is damaged, outdated or no longer suitable for the space.

Before removing it where practical, photograph:

complete door

frame

top

bottom

both sides of opening

surrounding wall

Then tell us:

A — Similar Replacement

You want approximately the same door configuration.

B — New Configuration

You want to change the design—for example, from an existing swing arrangement to another suitable system.

A change in configuration should be assessed against the actual opening rather than assumed to be possible.

Can an Existing Frame Be Reused?

Sometimes customers ask whether they can keep an existing frame and replace only part of the door.

This cannot be answered reliably from the door size alone.

The existing frame and system need to be assessed for compatibility and condition.

Send detailed photographs.

Where reuse is not suitable, a new frame/system may be the better approach.

We should not promise reuse until the existing installation has been properly considered.

Aluminium Door Repair or Complete Replacement?

Not every door problem automatically means the entire door needs replacing.

If you have an existing aluminium door that is:

difficult to move

misaligned

damaged

not closing correctly

or has another issue, send photographs and explain the problem.

The first question should be:

What is actually wrong?

Then the appropriate repair or replacement scope can be considered.

For significant damage, changes in dimensions or a completely different design requirement, replacement may be more appropriate.

Aluminium Doors for Renovation Projects

Renovation projects often have one challenge:

new design, existing opening.

Perhaps the customer wants a modern aluminium glass door, but the property was built around a different door system.

This is where site conditions become important.

Before deciding on the final door, consider:

Existing opening
Wall condition
Floor level
Surrounding finishes
Existing frame
Available movement space
New design
Required hardware

The new door should be designed for the property that exists—not only for the reference image.

Aluminium Doors for New Fit-Outs

New commercial fit-outs give contractors more opportunity to coordinate the door with surrounding work.

For these projects, send relevant:

door schedule

floor plan

elevation

opening dimensions

glass requirement

finish requirement

hardware specification if applicable

quantity

project location

This allows the aluminium door requirement to be reviewed alongside the overall project rather than as an isolated item.

Working With Interior Designers & Fit-Out Contractors

IST Works can assess aluminium door requirements based on project drawings and specifications where available.

When submitting a commercial enquiry, clearly identify:

Door reference

Location

Quantity

Dimensions

Configuration

Glass/panel requirement

Finish

Relevant hardware requirement

The clearer the initial information, the easier it is to understand and quote the correct scope.

How Much Do Aluminium Doors Cost in Dubai?

Aluminium door prices vary significantly depending on the project.

For this reason, we recommend a custom quotation rather than publishing an artificial one-price-fits-all rate.

Aluminium Door Price

Request a Quote

Pricing can depend on:

Width and height
Door configuration
Swing or sliding system
Single or double door
Aluminium system
Glass or panel requirement
Glass specification
Finish
Hardware
Quantity
Existing site conditions
Installation requirements
Replacement or new installation
Project complexity

A small single swing door should not automatically be priced the same way per square metre as a large multi-panel sliding system.

Why Door Size Alone Doesn’t Give the Final Price

Imagine two openings with approximately the same overall dimensions.

A

Requires a relatively straightforward single aluminium swing door.

B

Requires a sliding configuration with different panels, tracks and hardware.

The opening area may be similar.

The door systems are different.

This is why a useful quotation needs at least:

dimensions + configuration + photograph + project location.

What Should I Send for an Aluminium Door Quote?

You can start with four things.

1. Opening Photo

Show the complete opening and surrounding space.

2. Approximate Size

Send:

Width × Height

3. Door Type

Tell us:

Swing / Sliding / Not sure

If you’re not sure, that’s fine.

4. Location

Send your Dubai community, building or project location.

If you have a reference design, attach it too.

For example:

“Villa in Jumeirah. Opening approximately 2.4 m wide × 2.2 m high. We want an aluminium sliding glass door similar to the attached reference.”

That gives us a useful starting point.

How to Measure an Opening for an Initial Quote

You don’t need to provide fabrication-level measurements yourself.

For initial pricing, approximate dimensions can help.

Measure:

Width

Across the proposed opening.

Height

From the relevant lower level to the top of the opening.

Then take a photograph showing the entire area.

For sliding doors, also show the surrounding side space.

For swing doors, show the area into which the door is expected to open.

Final custom fabrication should rely on the relevant confirmed project measurements.

Choosing an Aluminium Door: 7 Questions to Answer

Before ordering, answer these:

1. Where will the door be installed?

Villa, apartment, office or commercial property?

2. What are the approximate opening dimensions?

Width × height.

3. Should it swing or slide?

Or do you need advice based on the space?

4. Do you want glass?

If yes, what level of visibility or privacy do you want?

5. Is this a new opening or replacement?

Existing conditions can affect the project.

6. How many doors are required?

One opening and twenty openings are different project scopes.

7. Do you have a design reference?

Send it.

With these answers, the project becomes much easier to define.

Common Aluminium Door Planning Mistakes

A custom door can look simple after installation, but several decisions happen before it reaches that stage.

One common mistake is choosing the configuration before checking the available movement space.

Another is measuring only the door leaf rather than understanding the complete opening.

Customers also sometimes select a reference design without considering whether their own opening has the same proportions.

For replacement work, another mistake is assuming the existing frame can automatically be reused.

And for commercial projects, quoting from one photograph without a door schedule can lead to confusion when several openings are involved.

The solution is straightforward:

Show the complete opening first.

Residential Aluminium Doors

For homeowners, our aluminium door service can support suitable custom requirements for:

villas

apartments

renovations

new properties

interior openings

selected balcony or exterior connections

Commercial Aluminium Doors

For businesses and contractors, suitable projects can include:

Offices
Shops
Commercial interiors
Meeting rooms
Glass-partition systems
Fit-out projects
