Bluewaters Island

At Bluewaters Island in Dubai, Lamberts LINIT™ channel glass supplied by KAPHS creates a striking architectural feature. The glass — LINIT®EcoGlass P26/60/7 low iron solar with a translucent L1 coating — blends clarity with subtlety: the low-iron base minimises colour distortion for purer light transmission.

The translucent L1 coating diffuses the light into a soft, ambient glow when backlit, enhancing the space and contributing a sophisticated, inviting atmosphere that stands out within the modern landscape of Bluewaters Island.

Channel glass at Bluewaters Island

Available in low-iron and textured finishes with optional solar-control and Low-E coatings, the glass can be installed in single or double-glazed configurations and backlit for a dramatic night-time effect.

As the Middle East partner for premium architectural materials, KAPHS supplies the Lamberts LINIT™ system — channel glass that enables expansive, self-supporting translucent walls with diffused daylight and minimal framing. Sourced through Lamberts, the glass at Bluewaters Island 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 channel 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, Bluewaters Island stands as a benchmark reference for specifiers across the GCC.

KAPHS is the Middle East’s specialist supplier of architectural mesh, glass and steel, trusted on landmark projects across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh and Kuwait.
