What metal fabrication Sharjah covers
Metal fabrication Sharjah covers the full process of turning raw sheet, tube and section into finished parts. A typical job moves through cutting, bending, welding, rolling and surface finishing before it is ready for installation.
Cutting and bending
Sheet metal fabrication Sharjah often starts with guillotine or laser cutting. Press brake bending then forms brackets, panels, frames and enclosures to the drawing. A stainless steel handrail for a Sharjah villa may start as tube, then be cut to length, bent at the corners, welded, ground and polished.
Welding and rolling
Steel fabrication Sharjah includes MIG and TIG welding for structural joints and architectural work. Rolling is used for curved handrails, tanks and circular duct sections.
Finishing
Powder coating, priming and stainless steel polishing are part of many jobs. At APEX, our steel fabrication services include shearing, press brake bending, MIG and TIG welding, rolling, drilling and powder coating.
What metal fabrication costs in Sharjah
A basic mild steel gate or railing in Sharjah usually starts around AED 850 for a small single panel. Longer runs with a powder coated finish commonly reach AED 2,500 or more because material gauge, height and fixing method all affect the final price.
Typical price guide
- Mild steel gate or railing: AED 850 to AED 2,500
- Stainless steel railing: AED 350 to AED 800 per linear metre
- Sheet metal enclosure or duct section: AED 400 to AED 1,800
- Powder coating surcharge: AED 30 to AED 80 per square metre
Lead times are usually simple to estimate. Small brackets and frames leave the shop in 2 to 5 working days. Architectural pieces with powder coating take 7 to 14 working days after drawings are approved. For a mezzanine stair in Industrial Area 2, a fabricator may quote AED 2,800 to AED 5,500 including stringers, treads and primer. If you have a drawing from a site in Al Sajaa or Industrial Area 2, request a Sharjah fabrication quote before you buy material.
Materials used in steel fabrication Sharjah
Most steel fabrication Sharjah jobs use mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium. Material choice depends on exposure, load and the finish the client wants.
- Mild steel: gates, structural frames, brackets and industrial racks
- Stainless steel: handrails, kitchen trim, bollards and hygienic surfaces
- Aluminium: lightweight frames, cladding, display units and ceiling sections
Mild steel is the most cost effective for painted items. Stainless steel suits exterior and food grade work near the coast. Aluminium reduces weight for long spans and interior fitout details.

Metal works Sharjah also depend on joinery and glazing details. A square frame is not enough when a glass panel or moving door has to sit flush and slide smoothly.
Compliance notes for DET and Sharjah free zone projects
Fabrication work for mainland and free zone clients should be documented correctly from the start. DET related trade licence checks and free zone audit requirements are easier to manage when the fabricator issues clear drawings, delivery notes and VAT invoices.
Free zone buyers
SAIF Zone tenants often need invoices that show the correct legal entity and delivery address. Mainland projects may require DET compliant trade documentation. We keep job files simple for audit ready records.
Site and drawing control
A small drawing error can create a big installation problem. We confirm material grade, thickness, finish and site dimensions before production.
How to choose a fabrication shop in SAIF Zone, Al Sajaa or Industrial Area 2
The best shop is not always the closest one. You want clear drawings, a fixed lead time and a team that visits your site before fabrication.
- Send a sketch or CAD drawing and a photo of the site.
- Ask for a written quote with material grade, thickness, finish and lead time.
- Confirm the shop can visit the site for measurements before production.
- Check finished samples or recent fabrication projects.
- Agree payment terms and delivery note format before work starts.
In Al Sajaa, many jobs are heavy duty racks and structural frames. In SAIF Zone, fitout contractors often need clean architectural metal works with tighter tolerances. In Industrial Area 2, we regularly handle gates, mezzanine stairs and sheet metal runs.
