Drapestex Collection
Plantation Shutters
Plantation shutters are slatted panels — traditionally wood — fitted inside your window or door frame. By tilting the louvers you control natural light and airflow, from fully open to completely closed. Every shutter we make is custom-fitted to your window, in a material and finish chosen with you.
A window treatment that has genuinely stood the test of time — the classic look of open, veranda-style homes in warmer climates, engineered for modern UAE interiors. Our in-house team handles measuring, manufacturing and installation, so you have one point of contact from the first survey to the final fit.

Tier-on-Tier Shutters
Top and bottom panels split and operated independently — ultimate light and privacy control, room by room.
Cafe Style Shutters
Cover only the lower half of the window — keep your privacy while letting the top half flood the room with sunlight.
Tracked / Panel Shutters
The ideal solution for large openings, bi-fold doors, wardrobes, poolside walls and room dividers.
Solid Panel Shutters
Traditional panels without louvers — available in full-height, tier-on-tier and cafe layouts. Warm, timeless, private.
Aluminum Shutters
1.2 mm & 3.0 mm aluminum panels with a clearview rod on the hinge side — perfect for exteriors and wet areas.
French Door Shutters
A stylish solution for patios and balconies — divides rooms and creates elegant transitional spaces.
Sliding Door Shutters
Reliable, decent-looking sliding panels — a graceful cover for wide living-area doors.
Special Shaped Shutters
Arched, angled, circular or bay — we can shape a shutter to almost any window profile you have.
