Emirates Hills is custom-built mansions on large plots, and no two houses are the same. There is no standard window schedule here — every property is measured from scratch, and a full house can run to forty or fifty openings across three floors.
The windows in Emirates Hills
Expect double-height entrance halls, curved glazing, and rooms where the curtain is a significant part of the interior design rather than a functional afterthought. Track runs are long and often need bespoke bending. Golf-facing elevations take low evening light across a wide frontage.
What we usually fit
Triple pinch pleat in a heavier fabric is the usual specification for the formal rooms — it holds a deep, even fold that suits the scale. Silk and velvet get specified here more than anywhere else in Dubai, and both need lining to survive the light. Motorisation throughout, with the tracks grouped so one control closes a whole elevation.
Fabrics that survive Emirates Hills
Emirates Hills is where silk and velvet get specified more than anywhere else in Dubai, and both need lining to survive the light — unlined silk on a golf-facing elevation will be brittle and streaked within a few years, and there is no repair. We line for the sun and interline where the room wants weight, which is what gives a triple pleat the deep, even fold that suits rooms at this scale. Nothing here is bought on price, but it is still worth knowing which fabrics are a maintenance commitment and which are not.
Cost and lead time
These are projects measured in weeks, not days. A full house commonly runs to forty or fifty openings across three floors, with double-height entrance halls and curved glazing that needs bespoke track bending. Expect two to three weeks from approval rather than the three to seven working days we quote on an apartment, and expect the fit to happen in phases so the house stays liveable. We measure over a full visit and quote room by room.
The mistake we fix most often
The mistake at this level is ordering fabric before the tracks are resolved. Curved and double-height runs need the hardware designed first, because the bend radius and the motor determine how much fullness the track will carry — order the cloth to a nominal width and you can end up with a curtain that will not stack in the space available. Hardware first, fabric second; it is the opposite of how most people want to do it.
The practical side
These are long projects. We measure over a full visit, quote room by room, and fit in phases so the house stays liveable. Expect two to three weeks from approval rather than the three to seven working days we quote on a standard apartment.
Curtains and blinds in Emirates Hills: common questions
Do you do bespoke curved tracks?
Yes — curved glazing and double-height entrance halls are normal here and both need track bent to the actual opening. That is why we measure the whole property over one visit and resolve the hardware before any fabric is cut.
How long does a full Emirates Hills house take?
Two to three weeks from approval, fitted in phases. The measuring alone is a full visit because no two houses here share a window schedule — these are custom builds, so nothing can be assumed from a neighbouring property.
Which heading suits a formal Emirates Hills room?
A triple pinch pleat in a heavier lined fabric. It holds a deep, even fold that carries at this scale, where a simpler heading can look thin across a wide opening. On very long runs a wave heading is the alternative — it stacks tighter, which matters when the curtain has to clear a lot of glass.
Is the measurement visit in Emirates Hills really free?
Yes. We bring the full fabric books to your home in Emirates Hills, measure every window and give you a written, itemised quote — no charge and no obligation to order. Nothing is payable at the visit whether or not you go ahead.
How long does a job in Emirates Hills take?
Most jobs are measured, made and fitted within three to seven working days of approving the fabric. Motorised tracks take around a week because the track is cut to your measurements. Everything is made to size and installed by our own fitters rather than subcontracted, which is why we can hold that timeline and stand behind the warranty.
