Made-to-measure blinds in Dubai start at about AED 75 per square metre with installation included, and premium fabrics and control systems push the figure toward AED 175 per square metre. Because blinds are priced by area, the final quote depends mostly on your window sizes, the fabric you choose, and how the blind is operated.
What drives the price of blinds up or down?
Four factors decide where a quote lands between the entry and premium ends. Window size comes first: blinds are priced per square metre, so a wide balcony door costs more than a bedroom window even in the same fabric. Fabric comes second — sunscreen and light-filtering weaves sit at the lower end, while textured blackout and premium finishes cost more per metre.
Mechanism is third: a standard chain or cord system is included in the base price, while spring-assisted and motorised controls add to it. Shape is fourth — standard rectangles are straightforward, but curved or very tall openings need special hardware.
Why does a quote need a measurement visit?
Per-square-metre pricing only works when the area is accurate. Recess sizes differ from wall sizes, tiles and skirting eat into the fitting space, and a centimetre or two of error across several windows changes both the fabric metreage and the hardware. A professional measurement visit captures exact dimensions, checks the mounting surface, and produces a fixed quote — the price you approve is the price you pay.
Palmera Furniture makes these visits free across Dubai: a fitter measures every opening, brings fabric options into your actual light, and quotes with no obligation. Call or WhatsApp +971 50 589 5741 or use the contact form.
Which blind types fit which budget?
Roller blinds are the value benchmark: at roller blinds starting from AED 75 per square metre installed, they cover bedrooms, kitchens, and offices cleanly. Vertical blinds suit wide sliders and patio doors at a similar entry point. Wooden and faux-wood blinds sit higher because of the material, and motorised versions of any type add the control system on top. For whole-apartment projects, mixing types room by room keeps the total sensible — blackout roller in bedrooms, verticals on the slider, and budget stays balanced.
Does the quoted price include installation?
At Palmera, yes — quoted prices include fitting by our own installation team, not subcontractors. There is no separate fitting bill afterwards, and the team clears the site before leaving. Aftercare comes with the install: if a chain stiffens or a vane needs realignment, the same team that fitted it services it.
How do you get an exact number for your windows?
Book the free measurement visit: phone, WhatsApp, or the contact form, any day Monday to Saturday between 7 am and 5 pm. The visit takes 15 to 30 minutes for a single room, you see fabric samples in your own light, and you receive a fixed per-window quote covering materials and fitting. If you are comparing window treatments for a bedroom project, the blackout versus sheer guide explains when curtains beat blinds — many apartments use both.
