- Concealed shoot-bolt hardware for slave leaf
- Double glazed acoustic units (24mm DGU)
2. Single Slim Casement Glass Doors
A high-performance swing door engineered with an ultra-rigid 6063-T6 architectural aluminium frame. Ideal for modern office entrances, bedroom suites, kitchen partitions, and ensuite bathroom enclosures.
- Heavy-duty 3D adjustable concealed hinges
- Euro-groove multi-point security locking
- Compatible with Fluted or Smart Privacy Glass
3. Frameless Glass Entrance Doors
Pure minimalist transparency engineered with 10mm or 12mm clear or frosted toughened safety glass. Uses heavy-duty stainless steel top and bottom patch fittings with integrated floor-spring controls.
- Zero perimeter frame for maximum light
- Continuous tubular stainless steel pull handles
- Hydraulic 90° hold-open & self-closing action

Frequently Asked Questions
Comprehensive answers to common architectural and engineering questions regarding French doors, casement doors, and entrance systems in Dubai.
What is the price of custom aluminium French doors in Dubai?
Custom ultra-slim aluminium French doors in Dubai typically range from AED 3,800 to AED 9,500+ depending on opening dimensions, single or double-leaf configuration, glass specification (10mm/12mm tempered, fluted, or double-glazed acoustic), frame powder-coating finish, and European multi-point locking hardware. SEG provides an exact, transparent quote following a free on-site laser survey.
What is the difference between a French door and a casement glass door?
Both systems operate on side-mounted hinges or concealed pivot-style hinges. A French door configuration traditionally refers to a pair of double swing doors meeting in the centre without a fixed central mullion, providing a completely unobstructed opening. A casement door refers to a single hinged glass leaf operating within a slim aluminium subframe, frequently specified for interior rooms, balconies, and executive office entrances.
Are ultra-slim aluminium French doors weather-sealed against Dubai heat and sand?
Yes. SEG exterior French doors feature continuous dual-perimeter EPDM compression gaskets, an engineered rebated meeting stile, and an integrated low-profile threshold with concealed water drain weep holes. This build-up blocks fine desert sand, driving rain, and thermal air leakage, delivering an airtight and dust-resistant perimeter seal.
Can French doors and casement doors integrate with Fluted or Switchable Smart Glass?
Absolutely. SEG manufactures French and casement doors with any architectural glass specification, including 8mm-12mm toughened Fluted / Reeded glass for translucent decorative privacy, or PDLC Switchable Smart Glass for instant transparent-to-opaque privacy at the touch of a wall switch or smartphone.
How do frameless glass doors compare with slimline aluminium casement doors?
Frameless glass doors use 10mm or 12mm monolithic safety toughened glass with top and bottom patch fittings, offering maximum transparency with zero perimeter frame. Slimline aluminium casement doors add an ultra-narrow 25mm to 38mm architectural profile around the glass, allowing full continuous acoustic gaskets, multi-point Euro-groove security locking, and superior weather tightness for exterior and high-traffic interior installations.
What locking and handle hardware options are available for entrance French doors?
SEG equips French doors with multi-point shoot-bolt locking systems, European profile security cylinders, and designer architectural hardware. Handle options include minimalist flush-recessed pull bars, tubular stainless steel vertical pulls (600mm to 1800mm), and smart digital keyless entry locks compatible with biometric, RFID card, and smart home automation.
