Black mirror
The signature Frameless Clear + Black make-up: a deep, reflective black face.
An exterior glass face minimizes visible aluminum and turns the garage opening into one calm, continuous plane. Built to order for premium modern façades.
Dubai Frameless is an overhead sectional garage door with an exterior glass face. Instead of framing each pane, the glass covers the structure, so the aluminum all but disappears and the door reads as a single, seamless surface.
Four horizontal sections are a common architectural layout, and where span and engineering allow, the door is built with no vertical center division. It is the cleanest face we make, designed for minimalist, high-end homes.
An exterior glass face hides the aluminum structure from the street.
Four horizontal sections, with no center division where the opening and engineering permit.
Combine glass colors by section for banding and contrast.
Track, springs and operator are selected from the finished door weight.
Black mirror is the signature Dubai Frameless face. Add a contrasting band or mix glass colors by section to suit the façade.
The signature Frameless Clear + Black make-up: a deep, reflective black face.
A single white section set into the black mirror face for a bold horizontal accent.
High-contrast banding on a bright modern façade.
A warm reflective face against stone and wood palettes.
A warm bronze face with a single black mirror band for a quieter contrast.
Expressions are shown as design visualizations. Final glass tone and panel proportions are approved on a physical sample and shop drawing.

Both are custom overhead sectional doors built in Doral. The difference is how much of the structure you see.

Technical values are design inputs only. Approved drawings and the final bill of materials govern every order. Four-panel layouts apply when the opening dimensions and engineering permit.
A frameless glass garage door hides most of its aluminum structure behind an exterior glass face. Dubai Frameless still opens overhead like a sectional door, but from the street it reads as one continuous plane of glass instead of a grid of framed panes.
Dubai Framed shows its aluminum frame and divides the glass into a defined grid. Dubai Frameless places the glass on the outside of the structure for a smoother, more minimal face. Framed offers more frame finishes; Frameless focuses on glass color and composition.
Dubai Frameless is offered in mirror black, mirror white, grey, bronze, Low-E and frosted looks. The signature finish is black mirror, made with the Frameless Clear + Black make-up. Final glass tone is approved on a physical sample.
Yes. Custom color layouts are available, such as a single white band on a black mirror door, Diamond White + Black banding or Bronze + Black. Color placement and panel proportions are confirmed on the shop drawing.
Where span and engineering allow, it is built with no vertical center division for the cleanest face, typically on openings up to 11 feet wide. Wider openings or higher design pressures may call for a center division, which we confirm during engineering.
Wind pressure, impact requirements, glass make-up and hardware are finalized after we review your job site. Send us the address with your quote request and we will confirm what your location requires and which configuration fits.
Glass-faced doors weigh more than typical panel doors. We use a design input of 5.9 lb/ft² for Dubai Frameless doors and select the track, springs and operator from the finished door weight.
Price depends on the opening size, glass colors and layout, engineering requirements, hardware and operator. Every Dubai Frameless door is built to order, so we quote after reviewing your opening and job location.
Framed full-view sectional doors
Aluminum and glass driveway gates
Fire stations and critical buildings
Send the opening size and the job location. Our engineering team reviews the requirements for that address and comes back with a proposal built for your door.
Final configuration depends on dimensions, location, glass make-up, wind requirements, hardware and available headroom.
