Quick answer

VitraGuard glass safety film is priced per square metre for film supply — from AED 117/m² (8 Mil), or AED 147/m² (12 Mil), delivery included — with a 15 m² minimum order and 5% UAE VAT on top. Installation is estimated separately and confirmed after a site visit, so it isn't part of the online film price. A 30 m² job in 12 Mil works out to AED 4,636.80 including VAT for film supply. Rates are published; you can estimate yours with the calculator.

Glass with and without safety film, illustrating fragment retention

Glass safety film is one of the few premium home and commercial upgrades where the maths is genuinely simple — once someone is willing to show it to you. VitraGuard publishes its rates because price transparency is, frankly, rare in this market, and we think it should be the starting point of the conversation rather than the thing you have to extract.

Film supply is sold per square metre, with a 15 m² minimum order — below that, call +971 50 758 7246 or WhatsApp us for a tailored quote. The online price covers film supply only (delivery included). Installation is an estimate, not part of the online payment: the rates above are indicative and are confirmed after a quick site visit, where frame condition, access, and how panes are grouped are assessed.

A worked example

Say a project works out to 30 m² of glass in our 12 Mil film once measured. The film-supply price looks like this:

  • Film supply: 30 m² × AED 147.20 = AED 4,416
  • VAT at 5%: AED 220.80
  • Film supply payable: AED 4,636.80 (delivery included)
  • Installation: estimated separately and confirmed after a site visit

The amount you pay online covers film supply only. The square-metre area for your project is confirmed by a quick site survey, because real-world glass involves frame conditions, access, and how panes are grouped — and the same survey is where your installation estimate is confirmed. The rates above are the rates, and the calculator uses exactly the same logic. The same per-square-metre pricing applies whether you're filming glass safety film for villas or a commercial fit-out such as offices and retail glass.

Why "cheap" film usually costs more

It is always possible to find a lower number. The difference tends to show up in the things you cannot see on day one: the grade of film, how carefully it is fitted around edges, and whether it stays clear and bonded over years in Dubai's heat and sun. A poorly fitted film that lifts, hazes, or peels is not a saving — it is the same job done twice.

That is why installation is a clearly estimated line rather than an afterthought. Professional fitting is what makes the difference between film that disappears into your glass and film you notice every day — and it is confirmed on a site visit rather than guessed online.

What the price does — and does not — include

The online price covers film supply of either the 12 Mil or 8 Mil safety film, with delivery included; installation is estimated separately and confirmed after a site visit. Both are safety products: the film is designed to help hold glass fragments together if a pane breaks. It is not priced or sold as a solar, heat-rejection, or security/anti-intrusion product — if those are your goals, tell us, and we will be straight with you about what is and isn't a fit.

Cost questions, answered

Yes. The minimum order is 15 m² of film supply. For smaller areas, call +971 50 758 7246 or WhatsApp us and we'll arrange a tailored quote.
The headline rates are pre-VAT. 5% UAE VAT is added on top of the film-supply subtotal, exactly as our cost calculator shows.
The film-supply rates are fixed per square metre, but the area your glass needs isn't obvious from a floor plan — frame condition, access, and how panes are grouped all matter. A short survey confirms the square metres and your installation estimate so the quote is accurate, not optimistic.
