On the right windows, yes. Not the whole apartment, though. The rooms that get the proper west or south sun, those are the ones that drop noticeably, usually 15 to 25 percent off the cooling cost for that room. A north-facing bedroom won’t show much change. There’s just no heat coming through that wall to block.
Thermal Curtains That Block Dubai Heat
The afternoon sun turns west-facing rooms into a sauna by lunchtime. Our thermal curtains sit against the glass with three insulated layers, cutting the heat coming through, and letting your AC stop running flat out. Measured, sewn, and fitted in your home.

Why Thermal Curtains Make Sense In A Dubai Home
Windows are where the heat gets in. Around 60 to 70 percent of the warmth your AC is fighting all day comes straight through the glass. A regular curtain slows it down a bit. A proper thermal curtain does the actual job. An outer face that is dense enough to catch any heat that passes through. The entire panel is positioned closer to the glass than a standard curtain to eliminate the warm air space around the window.

Realistically, 25 to 35 percent on a window that’s properly fitted. You’ll see other shops quoting 90 percent. Fabric can’t do that, the physics doesn’t allow it. We’d rather give you the real number on the home visit than oversell and have you wondering why your living room still feels warm.
Depends on your bill. Most homes get there in 12 to 24 months, faster if you’re on a higher DEWA slab. We’re happy to look at your last few bills during the home visit and give you an honest payback estimate before you commit. No spreadsheet, just a rough number that’s actually useful.
Honestly, that’s where they make the biggest difference. Floor-to-ceiling glass is half the reason Dubai apartments overheat in summer. The trick is fitting them wide and long enough that hot air can’t slip past the sides; that’s where most thermal jobs go wrong in apartments. We measure for full coverage, edge to edge.
