Metal works in Dubai sit at the heart of almost every modern fit-out and renovation. A floating staircase becomes the centrepiece of a Palm Jumeirah villa; a frameless glass-and-stainless-steel balustrade opens up a Business Bay penthouse; a motorised aluminium pergola turns a bare rooftop into a year-round entertaining space. Whether the goal is strength, safety or a striking architectural statement, custom metalwork is what gives a space its structure and its character.
At Fitout | Renovation Dubai, we bring all of this under one roof. As a full-service interior fit-out, renovation, remodelling and revamp company, our in-house metal division designs, manufactures, installs and restores metalwork for homes and businesses right across the UAE. Every project is built to handle Dubai’s demanding climate — intense sun, coastal humidity and salt-laden air — with the right grade of metal, the right protective finish and workmanship that lasts.
This page walks you through our complete metal works offering: the services we deliver, the metals and finishes we work with, where we source materials in Dubai, the areas we serve, indicative pricing to UAE standards, real client feedback and answers to the questions we hear most often.
No two Dubai properties are the same, so we never work from a fixed catalogue. Each piece is engineered around your space, your design intent and the relevant approvals. Our team handles the full journey — site survey and measurement, 3D design and shop drawings, material selection, in-house fabrication, finishing, delivery and on-site installation — then stands behind the work with after-care and maintenance.
On the residential side we serve apartments, townhouses, villas and mansions. On the commercial side we cover offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, warehouses, gyms, banking, cinemas and transport hubs. Because metalwork is fully integrated with our wider fit-out trades — joinery, gypsum, flooring, MEP, painting and more — you get one accountable contractor rather than a tangle of separate subcontractors.
From a single replacement handrail to a complete structural staircase, here is the full scope of metal works we deliver across Dubai and the emirates.
Staircases are where engineering meets statement design. We fabricate and install metal staircases, floating (cantilevered) stair structures, stainless steel and mild steel staircases, spiral and helical stairs, decorative feature stairs, structural stair frames and tread supports. Every staircase is calculated for load, fixed to verified anchor points and finished to match your interior — from raw industrial steel to a flawless polished or powder-coated surface.
Already have a staircase that feels dated or unsteady? Our renovation team handles staircase refurbishment, repainting, structural strengthening, tread-support replacement and full modernisation — often without the cost and disruption of a complete rebuild.
We manufacture stainless steel railings, mild steel railings, glass-and-metal railings, decorative and laser-cut railings, balcony and terrace railings, and stair balustrades to Dubai safety standards. Glass infills, slim posts and minimalist top rails are especially popular in contemporary villas and apartments. For existing railings we offer restoration, powder-coating renewal, metal polishing and strengthening to bring tired balustrades back to life.
Your gate is the first impression of your property and a key line of security. We build sliding gates, swing gates, double-leaf gates, automatic (motorised) gates, pedestrian gates, decorative and laser-cut gates, plus stainless steel and aluminium gates. We also refurbish gates: restoration, repainting, motor replacement and hardware upgrades that bring older gates back to smooth, reliable operation.
For privacy and protection we install metal fences, decorative fencing, boundary fencing, privacy screens, security fencing and laser-cut privacy panels. Existing boundaries can be restored, repainted and strengthened. Every solution balances security with the clean, modern aesthetic Dubai properties are known for.
Outdoor living is a way of life in Dubai. We fabricate aluminium and steel pergolas, decorative pergolas, motorised and louvred (bioclimatic) pergolas, shade structures, carports and gazebo frames — all engineered to resist heat, UV and the occasional heavy rain. Louvred roofs let you control light and airflow at the touch of a button, while powder-coated aluminium keeps maintenance low. Older structures can be restored, repainted and structurally upgraded.
This is where metalwork becomes art. We produce CNC laser-cut wall panels and screens, feature screens, room-divider partitions, metal wall cladding, ceiling features, mouldings and trims. Intricate Arabic-inspired patterns, geometric lattices and bespoke logos can be cut into steel, aluminium or brass and finished in any colour or metallic effect. We also restore and recoat existing decorative panels.
We manufacture metal doors, stainless steel doors, security doors, fire-rated steel doors, decorative metal doors, and door and window frames. Fire-rated doors are supplied to comply with Dubai Civil Defence life-safety requirements — essential for villas, apartment cores and commercial premises. Existing doors and frames can be restored, refurbished and re-fitted with new hardware.
Custom metal furniture adds an industrial-luxe edge to any interior. We build metal dining, coffee, side and console tables, TV-unit frames, bed frames, shelving frames and furniture bases — often paired with timber, stone or glass tops from our joinery and stone teams. Existing pieces can be restored, repainted and re-coated for a fresh look.
Businesses across Dubai rely on us for durable, compliant, on-brand metalwork delivered on tight fit-out timelines. Our sector experience includes:
Reception desk metal frames, office and glass partitions, decorative metal screens, workstation supports, conference-table frames and metal shelving — plus partition and metal-furniture refurbishment for office refreshes.
Display shelving and racks, gondola systems, cash-counter frames, shopfront framing, display cabinets and metal signage structures, all built to elevate the brand and survive heavy footfall.
Decorative screens, lobby feature structures, reception framing, stair railings and balustrades, room-furniture frames and luggage racks for hotels and resorts; bar structures, bar and bottle shelving, table bases, chair frames, wine racks and service stations for restaurants, cafés and bars; and hygienic stainless steel counters, shelving and prep tables for commercial kitchens.
For hospitals, clinics and laboratories we fabricate nurse-station structures, medical storage systems, stainless steel counters and shelving, hygienic partitions and equipment supports, with stainless steel polishing and restoration on call. For schools, universities and nurseries we supply handrails, stair railings, storage and library racking, classroom and lab furniture frames, safety railings and protective barriers.
Heavy-duty storage racks and shelving, mezzanine structures, industrial staircases, catwalks, safety barriers, loading-dock structures and steel platforms — engineered for load and built to last. For gyms and fitness centres we add equipment frames, locker systems, reception counters and partitions, with rack strengthening, structural repairs and repainting available.
Queue-management and security barriers, teller and ticket counter framing, ATM enclosures, decorative screens, handrails and platform barriers for banks, cinemas, entertainment centres, airports, metro and railway stations, bus stations and marine terminals — always installed to the relevant authority’s safety and accessibility standards.
Choosing the right metal and finish is half the job — especially in Dubai, where coastal humidity and heat punish the wrong material. We work with the full range:
Finishes include brushed and mirror polishing, PVD coating, electroplating, powder coating in any RAL colour, anti-corrosion priming and protective top coats. We specify protective coatings to recognised standards — see Jotun, a leading UAE coatings reference — so finishes stay vibrant and rust-free for years.
Quality metalwork starts with quality raw material. We source from established UAE mills, stockists and brand suppliers, choosing certified material for every application. Commonly used suppliers and brands in the Dubai market include:
Most raw metal and stock for Dubai projects is concentrated in the Ras Al Khor and Al Quoz industrial areas, giving us fast access to material and the ability to keep your project moving.
Metalwork doesn’t have to be replaced to look new again. Our dedicated repair team delivers welding and structural repairs, metal and hardware replacement, corrosion repairs, rust removal, metal polishing, powder-coating renewal, surface refinishing and structural restoration. For commercial clients we offer planned preventive maintenance, inspection services, corrosion protection and protective coating application — keeping staircases, railings, gates and structures safe and presentable year after year.
We deliver metal works to residential and commercial clients throughout Dubai and across the UAE. Our regular service areas include:
Dubai: Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, DIFC, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah (JBR, Umm Suqeim), Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, The Springs, The Meadows, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Hills Estate, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), Al Barsha, Mirdif, Deira, Bur Dubai, Dubai Silicon Oasis, International City, Dubai Investment Park (DIP), Al Quoz and Ras Al Khor.
Across the UAE: Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — with the same standards of design, fabrication and finish on every project.
Serving all seven emirates Wherever your villa, office, restaurant or warehouse is located, our metal works team can survey, fabricate and install on site. Approvals and free-zone requirements are handled as part of the project where needed — including developments under the Dubai Development Authority and Trakhees jurisdictions.

Metal Works
We cover the full range of metal works in Dubai: staircases, railings and balustrades, gates (manual and automatic), fences and security screens, aluminium and motorised pergolas, carports, CNC laser-cut decorative panels, metal doors and frames, partitions, structural steel, mezzanines, and bespoke metal furniture — plus repair, restoration and maintenance of all of these.
Yes. We serve apartments, townhouses, villas and mansions on the residential side, and offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, education, warehouses, gyms, banking and transport hubs on the commercial side — across Dubai and all seven emirates.
For exterior and coastal locations, SS316 (marine-grade stainless steel), powder-coated aluminium and galvanised steel resist corrosion best. SS304 and properly primed and coated mild steel work well for protected and interior applications. We recommend the right grade and finish for each specific location.
It depends on the metal, design, finish, quantity and site conditions. As a guide, stainless steel railings start around AED 350–750 per linear metre, fixed aluminium pergolas around AED 900–1,500 per sqm, and custom staircases from roughly AED 6,000 upward. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after a free site survey.
Both. We design, fabricate in our own workshop, deliver and install on site — then provide after-care and maintenance. You deal with one accountable team from start to finish.
Absolutely. We carry out welding and structural repairs, rust removal, metal polishing, powder-coating renewal, motor and hardware replacement and full restoration — often saving the cost of complete replacement.
Yes. Our works follow Dubai Municipality, Civil Defence (for fire-rated doors) and relevant free-zone authority requirements. Where developer or authority NOCs are needed, we manage them as part of the project.
Small items such as a replacement railing can take a few days; custom staircases, pergolas and larger commercial works typically run two to six weeks from approved drawings, depending on design and finish. We confirm a clear timeline with your quote.
