Apple Store Dubai Mall
The Apple Store at Dubai Mall is one of the brand’s most spectacular flagship locations, set beside the Burj Khalifa and overlooking the world-famous Dubai Fountain. Designed by Foster + Partners for Apple, the two-storey store opens onto a sweeping 56.6-metre-wide terrace — a first for any Apple Store — framed by ultra-large curved NorthGlass jumbo glass supplied by KAPHS.
Each laminated, insulated and Low-E-coated panel measures up to 2,573 × 12,217 mm, delivering uninterrupted views of the choreographed fountain display while controlling solar heat gain in Dubai’s intense desert climate. As the official Middle East representative for NorthGlass, KAPHS delivered the oversized curved glazing that defines the store’s signature architectural transparency.
Jumbo glass at Apple Store Dubai Mall
Produced in oversized flat and curved panels with laminated, insulated and coated build-ups, the glass delivers seamless transparency for façades, skylights and feature walls at a scale conventional glass cannot match.
As the Middle East partner for premium architectural materials, KAPHS supplies the NorthGlass oversized range — jumbo glass that achieves monumental, uninterrupted transparency with high optical clarity and engineered solar performance. Sourced through NorthGlass, the glass at Apple Store Dubai Mall was engineered to perform in the region’s demanding climate while elevating the building’s identity.
For architects, developers and contractors across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC, this project shows how jumbo glass can transform a landmark scheme — balancing aesthetics, daylight, privacy and durability in equal measure. Every panel was selected, engineered and delivered to exacting tolerances, and backed by KAPHS’s regional expertise the result is a surface that looks exceptional on day one and keeps performing for decades in the Middle East climate. As one of the region’s most recognisable installations of its kind, Apple Store Dubai Mall stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.
