Mashrabiya Screens & Cladding in Dubai

Mashrabiya-pattern perforated and laser-cut screens, fabricated in-house to ISO 9001:2015 standard for building facades, villa privacy screens, car park perimeters, and interior feature walls — reinterpreting a traditional Gulf architectural element in modern metal for sun-shading, privacy, and passive cooling.
How Mashrabiya Screens Are Made
Geometric mashrabiya patterns are cut using CNC laser jet cutting or CNC turret punching from aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, or corten steel sheet, then finished in PVDF coating, powder coating, or electroplating depending on the exposure and look required. Panels are engineered and 3D-modeled before production so that pattern repeat, panel jointing, and structural fixing all align precisely across a full facade run — see our Metal & Acrylic Finish Library for the full material and finish range.
Where Mashrabiya Cladding Is Used
Villa and residential facade screening for privacy and shade, car park facade screening (reducing heat gain while venting naturally), hotel and hospitality feature walls referencing regional design language, and mosque or cultural building facades where the pattern carries architectural significance. Our perforated-pattern work for projects such as the Domino’s Al Refa storefront and Bismi Wholesale Al Khawaneej signage cladding draws on the same geometric screening technique.
FAQ
Can you match a specific traditional mashrabiya pattern?
Yes, we can reproduce a specified geometric pattern or develop a custom pattern with your architect, then prove it as a sample panel before full production.
Does a mashrabiya screen actually reduce heat and glare?
Yes, the perforation density and depth are tuned to the orientation and sun angle of the facade, so the pattern functions as a passive shading device, not purely decorative cladding.
What materials are used for mashrabiya screens?
Aluminum is most common for its light weight and corrosion resistance; corten steel is used where a weathered, rust-patina look is wanted; stainless steel and mild steel are used for structural or high-security applications.
Can mashrabiya panels be backlit?
Yes, LED backlighting behind a mashrabiya screen is a common upgrade for hospitality and retail facades, turning the pattern into a lit feature after dark.
Do you handle structural engineering for large facade installations?
Yes, our design and engineering team works in 3D modeling software to confirm structural fixing, wind load, and panel jointing before fabrication, in line with our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
