What are wallpapers and why are they needed in Dubai?
Wallpaper is a modern finishing material for interior walls and ceilings. In the UAE, it addresses not only decorative but also purely practical tasks. Special compounds and coatings allow them to resist the main enemies of renovation in the region: fading from scorching sun, deformation due to humidity fluctuations, and dust accumulation. High-quality washable surfaces are easy to clean, maintaining a flawless interior appearance for years. This is a smart investment in the longevity of your renovation.
Who is this service for and what type of property is it suitable for?
Our solutions are ideal for owners and managers of luxury real estate. We work with owners of private villas in closed communities, such as Emirates Hills or Al Barari, where unique design is important. For developers and design studios, we offer wholesale supply of turnkey materials for new projects. For management companies of hotels in Downtown or apartments in Marina, we assist with fast and high-quality updates to the room inventory. Even for a standard rental apartment in JLT, we will select a practical option that will withstand several tenancy periods.
Which walls are suitable and what are the key technical nuances?
We successfully work with all common substrates in the UAE: concrete blocks, drywall (GCR), and plastered surfaces. The main secret to longevity is impeccable preparation. We always use enhanced antifungal primer with deep penetration. It creates a barrier against mold and improves adhesion. A standard European roll has a width of 1.06 meters and an area of 5.3 square meters. For rooms with high ceilings (a common feature in villas), we offer oversize-format wallpaper. This avoids unnecessary seams and creates a seamless canvas from floor to ceiling.
What is included in the basic supply from "Stroy Dubai"?
We provide a full cycle with professional-grade materials. The foundation is reliable underlays: non-woven or fiberglass for wall reinforcement. Next is a wide selection of finishes. These include moisture-resistant vinyl wallpaper on a non-woven backing for kitchens, practical non-woven wallpaper for painting for living areas, and super-durable glass fiber wallpaper for commercial spaces. Our portfolio also includes premium decorative wallpaper with embossing and unique prints, including affordable Saratov wallpaper as an economical painting solution.
Current cost of materials and work in 2026.
Pricing depends on the type of material, brand, and project complexity. Based on analysis of open market data in Dubai, reference the following ranges. Paper wallpaper (simplex): from 35 to 85 dirhams per roll. Vinyl/non-woven (washable): 95-270 dirhams. Glass fiber wallpaper (for painting): 140-450 dirhams. Designer collections (textile, natural materials): from 400 dirhams and above. The cost of professional installation with materials starts from 30 dirhams per square meter and can reach 70 dirhams for complex work with expensive materials.
Detailed breakdown of key products and terms.
Non-woven wallpaper is a breathable material that serves either as an independent coating or a reinforcing underlay. It masks micro-cracks and prevents mold. Glass fiber wallpaper and fiberglass backing are leaders in strength. Woven fiberglass for heavy-duty use and non-woven "cobweb" for base reinforcement. Decorative wallpaper is a broad category for creating accents: from classic patterns with flowers and leaves to modern textures resembling Venetian plaster or concrete.
Range expansion and color trends.
In addition to classics, we supply innovative materials: photo wallpapers for full customization, magnetic and chalkboard coatings for children's rooms and offices, liquid wallpaper with a hand-applied plaster effect. The palette for the UAE is dominated by light-reflecting and "cooling" shades: pure white, a spectrum of grays, soothing beige. Accents are added by natural green (sage, olive) and blue (aquamarine). For prestigious interiors, deep brown, burgundy, or muted terracotta are chosen.
Practical selection recommendations.
For hallways and high-traffic areas, choose dark, washable vinyl coatings (graphite, charcoal). In bedrooms and living rooms, breathable non-woven wallpapers in calm shades are appropriate. For commercial spaces, glass fiber wallpaper for painting is ideal. Remember: a quality underlay and professional installation account for 70% of the success and durability of your walls.
