Wooden Window and Shutter in Abu Dhabi
Timber windows and shutters add warmth, privacy and control over light. ALHUD Technical LLC provides wooden window and shutter work for villas and heritage-style homes in Abu Dhabi, from new frames to repairs on tired old shutters.
Timber is lovely, but sun and humidity are hard on it. Good joinery and sealing are what keep it working.
What We Make and Fit
- Louvre shutters: adjustable slats for light and airflow
- Plantation shutters: wide louvres in a neat frame
- Solid panel shutters: privacy and light control
- Timber window frames: made to suit the opening
- Window sills and surrounds: replaced or refinished
- Repairs: loose hinges, swollen frames and jammed catches
For softer coverings, see our blind installation page.
Light, Privacy and Heat
Shutters are good at controlling sun. Adjust the louvres to let air in and keep direct sun out, or close them for privacy. In Abu Dhabi, shutters on sun-facing windows can reduce glare and keep a room more comfortable, though they do not replace good glass.
Measuring and Making to Fit
Fit is everything. Windows are rarely perfectly square, so we measure at several points and make each shutter or frame to suit. A shutter that is a few millimetres off will rub, sag or leave gaps. We allow for seasonal movement in the timber.
Repairing Old Frames and Shutters
Old timber windows suffer from sun, damp and loose hinges. We repair rot, replace broken louvres, re-hang shutters and refinish them. For glass and non-timber windows, see our window repair page.
Sealing and Finishing
Raw timber should not be left to the weather. We prime and seal all faces of the timber, including edges and the bottom, and use a finish suited to sun exposure. Re-coating every few years extends the life of the timber.
