Joinery
Looking for skilled joinery contractors in Dubai, Sharjah, or Across UAE? UAR Decor creates custom woodwork that fits perfectly and lasts for decades. We don’t do flat-pack furniture – we build real, solid joinery that handles daily use and looks better over time.
Why We Are Your Joinery Specialists
We’re craftsmen, not just furniture assemblers. Our joinery workshop has been creating custom woodwork in Dubai for over 8 years. We know which woods work in the UAE climate, which finishes won’t crack or fade, and how to build pieces that last generations.
The biggest problem with joinery in Dubai? Most contractors use cheap materials and rush the work to compete on price. We’ve replaced wardrobes that warped after one summer, kitchen cabinets where doors wouldn’t close properly, and office furniture that fell apart after minimal use.
Our approach is different. We use properly seasoned wood, marine-grade finishes, and traditional joinery techniques. Every piece is built to handle Dubai’s climate and heavy use.

Common Joinery Problems We Fix
Climate-Related Issues
Dubai’s humidity and temperature swings cause poorly made joinery to warp, crack, or fall apart. We use proper wood seasoning and climate-appropriate finishes.
Poor Construction Quality
Mass-produced furniture often fails at joints and hardware. Our traditional joinery techniques create pieces that get stronger over time.
Inappropriate Materials
Many contractors use materials meant for cooler climates. We choose woods and finishes that perform well in the UAE.
Poor Fit and Finish
Cheap joinery never fits properly and always looks rough. Our skilled craftsmen create pieces with perfect fits and smooth finishes.
Seasonal Joinery Considerations
Summer Humidity Effects
Dubai’s summer humidity can cause wood movement. We account for this in our construction and use appropriate finishes.
Dust Protection
Desert dust affects wood finishes. We use easy-to-clean finishes and design pieces that minimize dust accumulation.
Expansion and Contraction
Temperature changes cause wood to expand and contract. We build in proper tolerances and use floating connections where needed.
Material Seasoning
We properly season all wood before use and store materials in climate-controlled conditions.
Real Case Studies from Our Projects
Master Bedroom Suite in Emirates Hills
Challenge: A family wanted a complete bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobes, custom bed, and storage that maximized their oddly-shaped master bedroom. Standard furniture wouldn’t fit the space properly.
Our Solution: We designed a custom bed with integrated nightstands and storage drawers. Created his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes with specialized compartments for different types of clothing. Added a custom vanity area with proper lighting and storage.
Result: The bedroom now has 70% more storage than before while feeling more spacious. The custom pieces look like they were always meant to be there. After 3 years, everything still operates perfectly despite daily use.
Corporate Office in Business Bay
Challenge: A financial services company needed high-end office furniture that projected success and professionalism. They wanted custom pieces that would last for decades and impress international clients.
Our Solution: Built a massive conference table from solid walnut with integrated technology. Created matching credenzas and a reception desk with hidden storage. Used traditional joinery techniques with modern finishes.
Result: The office furniture has been featured in business magazines and helps the company win new clients. After 4 years, the pieces still look brand new and the solid construction impresses everyone who sees it.
Retail Store in Dubai Mall
Challenge: A luxury boutique needed display fixtures that would showcase their products while handling constant customer traffic. The pieces needed to be beautiful, functional, and extremely durable.
Our Solution: Created custom display units with adjustable shelving and hidden lighting. Used solid wood construction with commercial-grade finishes. Added security features and easy-to-clean surfaces.
Result: The store has been operating for 2 years with minimal maintenance on the fixtures. Sales staff say the displays help sell products by presenting them beautifully. The owner has ordered similar fixtures for two new locations.
