Glass works for homes and offices in Dubai

From a shower screen or a mirror wall to glass partitions and balustrades, we design, measure and install interior glass as part of the wider job, so it fits the finishes around it.

GLASS IS

Glass is the finish fitted last and measured most carefully

Most interior materials can be trimmed on site. Toughened glass cannot: once it has been toughened it cannot be cut or drilled, so every panel is made to a measurement taken from the finished walls and floors, including holes for handles and hinges. That is why glass works are best planned with the rest of the interior. If tiles are thicker than expected or a wall is out of plumb, a shower screen made from early drawings will not fit. Doing glass as part of the same job means the tiler, the joiner and the glass installer are working to the same set of measurements. The result is glass that lines up with grout lines, sits flush in a niche or meets a ceiling cleanly.

GLASS WORKS

TYPES OF

Types of glass, in general terms

The right glass depends on where it goes and what it has to do. The general categories are:

  • Toughened glassHeat-treated to be stronger than ordinary glass and to break into small blunt pieces. Normal for showers, doors and most partitions.
  • Laminated glassTwo or more layers bonded with an interlayer, so the glass stays in place if it cracks. Often used where glass guards a drop.
  • Frosted, etched or sandblastedObscured glass for privacy in bathrooms, partitions and doors.
  • Back-painted glassColoured on the back face, used for splashbacks and wall panels.
  • Tinted and mirrored glassFor mirrors, feature panels and a darker or reflective look.

PLANNING GLASS

Planning glass into a room

Fixings, edges and what sits behind the glass

Glass looks simple, but each panel has to be held. Channels, clamps, hinges and patch fittings all need solid backing, so the wall or floor behind them has to be prepared before the finishes go on. In a shower, the fixings and the seal at the bottom of the screen matter as much as the glass. On a staircase or balcony, how the glass guarding is fixed is a safety question first and a design question second.

We show glass in the 3D design along with the finishes around it, so you can see the frosting, the hardware colour and how the glass lines up with tiles and joinery before anything is ordered.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Do you do small glass jobs, like a single shower screen?

Glass works can be a job on their own or part of a renovation or fit-out. Book a free site visit and we will measure and advise.

Why does glass take longer than other finishes?

Toughened glass is made to exact measurements after the surrounding finishes are complete and cannot be cut on site, so it is measured late and made to order.

Can a shower screen be fully frameless?

Yes, fixed panels and hinged doors can be installed with minimal hardware, as long as the walls and floor give solid fixing points.

What glass is used for balustrades?

Glass guarding is normally laminated or toughened and laminated, so it stays in place if a panel breaks. The specification is agreed at design stage.

Can you replace old mirrors or splashbacks?

Yes, as part of a renovation of the room.

Do glass works need approval?

Interior glass usually falls within the wider interior approval, if one is required. It depends on the community or building. We apply for approvals ourselves.

How is glass cleaned and looked after?

With non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. In showers, wiping the glass after use reduces water marks.
