Precision-engineered structural aluminum profiles, double/triple insulated glass units, and custom finishes for commercial & residential procurement.
Architectural developments across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the northern Emirates demand window and door systems capable of enduring relentless thermal stress, high solar irradiance, sand abrasion, and severe wind pressure differentials. Fixed glass windows (also designated as architectural picture windows or non-operable vision panels) represent the cornerstone of contemporary Middle Eastern facades—delivering maximal natural daylighting while maintaining an impenetrable barrier against desert heat and particulate ingress.
The ambient climatic conditions in the United Arab Emirates present extreme challenges for structural glazing. Peak summer ambient temperatures frequently exceed 50°C (122°F), with direct exterior aluminum surface temperatures soaring past 75°C. Without advanced thermal separation, standard aluminum frames act as thermal conduits, transferring massive heat loads into building interiors, destabilizing HVAC systems, and dramatically elevating operational energy consumption.
We utilize high-precision extruded architectural aluminum alloy 6063-T6 or 6060-T66. Featuring a minimum wall thickness of 2.0mm to 3.0mm for heavy-duty fixed frames, our extrusions maintain rigorous tensile yield strength (≥ 210 MPa) to resist high-altitude wind displacement and micro-seismic stresses.
Our fixed windows integrate multi-cavity Technoform or custom PA66-GF25 (25% fiberglass reinforced) thermal break strips up to 34mm in depth. This multi-chambered insulation barrier prevents thermal bridging and achieves U-frame values ($U_f$) down to 1.3 W/m²K.
Coastal Gulf salinity and intense solar UV rapidly degrade standard paint. Our custom OEM windows undergo AkzoNobel or PPG Interpon PVDF fluorocarbon (3-coat) or Qualicoat Class 2/3 powder coating, guaranteeing color retention and anti-chalking for 25+ years.
The table below illustrates our baseline and specialized custom manufacturing configurations tailored specifically for commercial developers, MEP consultants, and luxury villa contractors operating in the UAE market.

Custom OEM fixed aluminum windows are key design components across diverse Middle Eastern building topologies. Here is how our factory-direct solutions resolve project-specific engineering criteria.
Ultra-large panoramic fixed glass panels (spanning up to 3.5m x 6.0m per unit) provide unobstructed sea views. Engineered with SentryGlas® (SGP) laminated interlayers to withstand severe saline humidity, extreme thermal cycles, and high coastal winds without structural delamination.
Integrated curtain wall spandrels and structural fixed window vision units compliant with Dubai Municipality wind load requirements. Heavy-duty aluminum structural mullions accommodate inter-story differential movement and acoustic dampening for urban environments.
Projects located in inland desert locations suffer from extreme diurnal temperature swings (shifting 25°C between night and day). Double thermal break designs prevent micro-gap expansion, keeping airborne dust, micro-sand, and heat entirely sealed out.
Procuring exterior fenestration in the UAE requires absolute alignment with stringent municipal codes and green building regulations:
As a direct manufacturer operating a 30,000m² industrial production complex in Foshan, China—the epicenter of global aluminum extrusions—Vexis Windows delivers uncompromised product execution directly to project sites across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah.
Every project drawing is analyzed by our senior fenestration engineers. We offer complete custom profile extrusion modeling, structural calculations, glass stack customization (Low-E coatings, tinted reflective glass, ceramic frit patterns), and hardware branding matching your architectural submittal documents.
Before ocean freight packaging, every fixed glass frame is subjected to strict dimensional checking, corner weld/cleat shear testing, hydrostatic water spray simulation, and glass seal integrity inspection. Certified test reports are provided for consultant approval prior to dispatch.
Fixed windows—especially large architectural glass units—are highly vulnerable to transit shock. We utilize customized heavy steel A-frames, fully enclosed wooden crates with moisture-absorbent desiccants, corner edge protectors, and shrink-wrapped protective film to ensure zero-breakage arrival at Jebel Ali Port or Mina Khalifa.
Eliminate intermediary trading margins. Sourcing directly from our Foshan manufacturing base delivers premium thermal break fixed glass systems at costs 30% to 45% below European brands, while exceeding regional technical performance standards.
Clear, technical answers to common questions regarding customs clearance, shipping, engineering submittals, and product customization.
