Dubai is one of the most popular cities where skyscrapers, luxurious vehicles, beaches, ports, and one of the cities with the best nightlife meet the classic and magnificent Arabic culture. You can only find a handful of cities where you’ll be able to see tall skyscrapers, how can we not mention the gigantic Burj Khalifa, indoor snow resorts, and underground aquariums whilst all of the mentioned activities meet the nomadic lifestyle of Arabic tribes
UAE is the wealthiest country in the Middle East meanwhile Dubai is the richest city in the Middle East and 30th richest city in the world. Surely where there is plenty of wealth, there are opportunities for immigrants to prosper in such countries. Currently, as per recent reports, Dubai consists of 71% of ex-pats which means almost 3 quarters of Dubai’s population belongs to different regions of the world, providing them a better opportunity to make their lifestyle better. And 60% of the ex-pats came from south Asian countries which clearly indicates how wealthy this land of opportunity is . No wonder where this is such a huge amount of wealth, there must be different kinds of industries prospering, we don’t even need to mention how thriving and successful the real estate and vehicle industries are in Dubai. Where the real estate industry is so firm and triumphant, that means a lot of secondary industries are no less fortunate. For example, electrical wirings and installations or house designers surely do gain a lot of benefit from being under real estate industry. Also, the furniture and broadband services and industries follow along. But one of the initials that an owner wants his or her property to have is a very nicely implemented paint job, of course, no walls and ceilings look like a house without paints. The interior and art designing industry of Dubai is no less than a top-notch industry. It is estimated that the paint and coating industry of UAE is as worthy as a whopping 34.6 billion dollars and that revenue is mainly generated from urban development, transportation, oil, and gas-related deals. Before heading towards our main concern, let’s get to know how much it costs to own a single-bedroom apartment generally. As told by property dealers, a single-bedroom studio apartment may range from 55,000 AED all the way up to 100,000 AED. Some of them may already be well furnished and some might be recently constructed and in a very raw condition. If you’re already owning such a property and you’re planning for a new look for your walls, painting services in Dubai are exactly what you need to make your apartment look luxurious and first-class. An average-sized one-bedroom apartment in Dubai is usually 73 to 135 square feet, depending on different areas and towns whereas universally, the dimensions may vary from 120 all the way up to 450 square feet. So discussing the main part, we need to know much paint we need to cover all the walls and ceilings, and how much would it cost us.
Cost of painting an apartment in Dubai
There are many methods that give us an idea of how much exactly are we supposed to purchase paints for walls and ceilings. Notably, the simplest yet common method would be, knowing that a gallon worth of paint can cover up to 350 to 375 square feet, and supposing the dimensions of your room are 9 X 12, the paint specifically required for the walls would be 9 + 12 + 9 + 12 and that
would add up to 42 square feet, and finding a product between the calculated dimension and height of the walls, we can state that 42 X 9 feet, that’s equal to 378 square feet of your total wall area. Subtracting doors and windows, estimating the sum of doors and walls to be around 50 square feet, so excluding the sum of windows and doors from the wall area, we are left with 328 square feet. So splitting up the figure and dividing them, we get 328 / 350 and that’s roughly equal to 0.94 gallons of paint, just for the walls.
Since ceilings can’t be just left out or else the room would look very imperfect and partial. But we can’t also ignore the fact that estimating the amount of paint for ceilings is not as easy as it was for walls since they may differ in dimensions, shapes, patterns, and sizes. Let’s assume the paintable area size of ceilings is 155 square feet, so we get 0.45 gallons after dividing 155 by 350. So for a single coat, for an average-sized apartment in Dubai, we need 0.45 + 0.94, that’s around 1.40 gallons of paint. We can add slightly more than half a gallon to ensure double coating while keeping in mind a gallon is as much as 4.5 liters or 4 quarts so double coating to ensure perfection, we get 2 gallons of paint
Now talking about paint prices in Dubai, a single gallon can cost up to 73.50 AED, so 2 gallons of paint can cost 147 AED or 40 USD. Since just possessing paint isn’t enough, you need a roller, brush, and a pair of gloves too, don’t worry we got you covered like always. A set of rollers and a brush can be as high as 50
AED and a box of gloves can cost up to 20 AED, so 70 plus 147 is 217 AED or 59 USD, that’s how much an individual needs to paint a single-bedroom apartment in Dubai
