About This Service

Balcony glass enclosures that keep out dust, heat and noise

A balcony glass enclosure turns an unused balcony into an extra room you can use all year. The glass keeps out sand, dust, humidity and traffic noise and stops pigeons nesting, and you can still slide or fold it open on cool evenings. Burhani Glass designs and installs frameless, sliding and folding balcony glass covers for apartments and villas across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and the Northern Emirates. Most balconies are finished in 1–2 days. Related: glass balustrade, sliding glass doors, and glass pool fencing.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need permission to install a balcony glass cover in Dubai or Sharjah?

Yes. In the UAE, enclosing a balcony typically requires a Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) from your building developer or community management (like Emaar or Nakheel), as well as approval from the local municipality. We can guide you on the specific technical specifications needed for these approvals.

Are frameless balcony glass covers safe for high-rise apartments?

Absolutely. We exclusively use heavy-duty tempered safety glass or laminated glass specifically engineered to withstand the high wind loads and pressure systems experienced in UAE high-rise towers.

Will enclosing my balcony stop dust and sand from getting in?

Yes! This is one of the primary reasons our clients upgrade their balconies. Our glass covers feature specialized, high-quality weather seals that drastically reduce the amount of fine desert dust, sand, and rain that enters your space.

Can I open the glass to let fresh air in during the winter?

Yes. Both our sliding and retractable/folding balcony systems allow you to partially or fully open the glass panels, letting you enjoy the beautiful UAE winter breeze whenever you choose.

How do I clean the outside of the balcony glass?

Our retractable and folding glass systems are designed so that the exterior side of the glass folds inward. This allows you to safely and easily clean both sides of the glass from the inside of your balcony, without needing to reach over the edge.

How long does it take to install a balcony glass cover?

Once your bespoke glass panels have been manufactured and your community approvals are in place, the physical installation by our expert team is typically completed within 1 to 2 days, depending on the size of the balcony.

Will a glass enclosure make my balcony hot?

Clear glass traps some heat in summer, so we recommend tinted or solar-control glass on sun-facing balconies. Opening the panels or connecting the space to your AC keeps it comfortable.

Does a balcony enclosure stop pigeons?

Yes. A closed enclosure removes the ledges and gaps pigeons use, with no nets or spikes needed.

Can I still use my balcony railing?

Yes. The enclosure is fixed inside or on top of the existing railing, depending on the building; the railing stays as the safety barrier.

Which areas do you cover?

We measure and install across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah. Our workshop is in Sharjah.
