What Affects the Cost of Blinds in Dubai?
Five main things move the price up or down:
1. Window Size
Bigger windows need more fabric and hardware, so larger blinds cost more. Starting prices are based on a standard 1m x 1.5m size.
2. Blind Type & Fabric
Simple vertical blinds and roller blinds use less material and cost less. Soft, layered Roman blinds use more fabric and lining, so they cost a little more.
3. Blackout vs Sheer
Blackout blinds use thicker, specialised light-blocking fabric, which can cost slightly more than standard or sheer options — but they're essential for bedrooms in Dubai.
4. Manual vs Motorised
Adding a motor is the biggest single price factor. Motorised blinds start from around AED 850 versus AED 180 for a manual roller blind — but they add convenience, safety and smart control.
5. Number of Windows & Installation
Doing your whole home at once is usually better value. With us, professional installation and free in-home measuring are included, so there are no surprise add-ons.
