You'll get overwhelmed if you go to Dragonmart because there are tons of curtain stalls there, prices may be all the same but it's difficult to find a good one that can sew neatly and generous with fabrics. After using different stalls there over the years, I've finally found a good one comparable to those expensive ones, Whatsapp 0556683469 look for Aaliyah, she's very professional and so is her installers.

My husband and I have been going crazy for blinds too. Do they not sell the hard pvc vertical blinds here like they do in the US? All the companies I contacted only have the fabric vertical blinds with a weight and chains on the bottom. Hello Sabam, Yes that's true it's not sold here I settled for Zebra Blinds from Cortina. The mechanism of it is basically like the roller blinds but instead it comes with designs and operates in a very nice way. I recommend you give it a try! They can be reached through phone or whatsapp 0509223245:cool:

We just had some vertical blinds made. I checked quite a few places - Danube, Sedar, Satwa. I found the best choice/price at Reem furnishings in Satwa. They had them done in 4 days and they're looking lovely:) I called them so many times but they didnot send me any sales person to show me samples.After that i found [b'>ALI 0555528260[/b'> the highly recommended person in Curtains and Blinds in EW.He inspired me through his professional work. I couldn't find another company who could do it that quickly.Great quality, super service and highly friendly person.

Dragon Mart I was going to suggest the same. The prices are not what they use to be few yrs. back.. When we first moved here (6 yrs ago) we got all our blinds and curtains made there. The prices was shockingly cheap.

Fantastically useful thread! We will be moving and I was stressed about this issue. Last time in Dubai we went to curtainland in Oud Metha and they were a FORTUNE. Beautiful work, but painfully expensive (we were new to Dubai and had no idea...). Now, I know better :) thank you for all of these great options. Q for you ladies--do any of you have experience with them doing the curtains but you supply your own fabric? I am bring loads of quality black-out fabric and I would want them to use this. Of course, I can always call when I get to Dubai, but thought I would ask! Many thanks!

I just used Sam from 24 hour blinds. I needed to get the blinds fitted ASAP as my family couldn't get a decent nights sleep without them. Sam came and measured on the same day, and the next day the blinds were made and installed by later that evening his number is 0502132153. He's English and very professional, I couldn't find another company who could do it that quickly, the end product is great quality and on a par ,price wise with other quotes I received

I just recently used Dubai Blinds their service was really good, they basically do what they say they will do which is a first in Dubai! I called their office and was given an appointment the next day, a philopino guy came and he was excellent he actually made recommendations as to what will look good and he gave me different price options. I chose roman blinds and they were installed within a week - again they turned up when they said they would. I would highly recommend this company their number is 04 3688759

I would highly recommend the company we used. They were quick and affordable. We had our villa done at springs for 9700 aed including all installations for 9 windows. The service was exceptional which took only 4 days after we selected the materials. The company is al jamal curtains on 050 8282523. The blinds were beautiful and also they provided a six months guarantee on their products. Call Aftal and ask for a special deal.

Are Joseph and Jessel the same company? I want to get vertical blinds installed for two sliding glass doors but it seems that what I call vertical blinds are different than what they call them here. I want the long slats that hang from top to bottom. You can open them to let light in or you can pull them all the way to the side to exit the door. We went to Ikea last night and bought several wood blinds for our other windows but they are horizontal and when I asked for vertical blinds the salesman kept taking me to the horizontal blinds insisting they were vertical blinds. No Jeseel and Joseoph are not from the same company. I've used Jeseel a few times now and have been very happy - he does the stitching for Ikea but will make blinds etc that Ikea don't do....very good guy and I would highly recomment him...
