What is included
Interior and exterior glass, frames and tracks, with hard water spotting removed rather than smeared. Abu Dhabi glass suffers from three things: dust, salt and the mineral spots left by irrigation and desalinated water. We wash with purified water, remove mineral deposits with the correct polish and clear the tracks so doors slide properly again.
- Film type and glass checked, including any low E coating underneath
- Film steamed and peeled back slowly in sheets, not in strips
- Glue layer softened and lifted, scraper used only on plain glass
- Glass cleaned and polished, ready for new film or left clear
How we carry out window film and tint removal
Film fails in a recognisable way here. Years of direct sun break down the dyes and the adhesive, so the film bubbles, goes cloudy, peels at the edges or turns purple. Removing it is slow work. Steam or gentle heat softens the adhesive so the film comes away in large sheets; pulled cold, it tears into small pieces and leaves most of the glue on the glass. Frames, blinds and the floor below are covered first, since the steam and the remover would otherwise mark them.
The glue layer is the larger part of the job. On plain uncoated glass it is softened and taken off with a new blade held flat. On low E, coated or tinted panes no blade is used: the adhesive is softened again and worked off with nylon pads and an adhesive remover that has been tried on the frame and the seals first. The glass is then cleaned and polished. Some towers have rules on tint and facade appearance; these are identified at the site visit and The MELLS prepares the paperwork the building asks for.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Window Film and Tint Removal in Mayan: what we plan for
In an apartment building we submit the work permit, book the service lift and bring compact equipment that fits it.
Irrigated golf fairways and landscaping raise humidity around Yas Acres, and sprinkler water leaves mineral marks on walls and glass. Building sites across the north of the island add fine sand, and the waterfront buildings get salt on balconies.
Each villa community has a gate where the resident registers our crew before the visit. Apartment buildings need a work permit and a service lift booking from management. Any exterior change needs the master community's approval; this is identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about window film and tint removal in Mayan
What does window film and tint removal include?
Solar, privacy, frosted and safety films that have bubbled, peeled or turned purple in the Abu Dhabi sun, steamed off in sheets with the glue layer removed and the glass left clear. The work includes film type and glass checked, including any low E coating underneath; film steamed and peeled back slowly in sheets, not in strips; glue layer softened and lifted, scraper used only on plain glass.
Can you fit new window film after removing the old one?
Fitting new film is not part of this service unless it has been arranged in advance. What we leave is clean, polished glass with no adhesive on it, which is what a film installer needs to work on.
Why is old window film harder to remove?
Film that has baked in the Abu Dhabi sun for years turns brittle, tears in small pieces and leaves more glue on the glass, so it takes longer than newer film. The time needed is set out in the written quotation after the site visit.
How much does window film and tint removal cost in Mayan, Yas Island?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size of the property and number of rooms; condition, and how long since the last deep clean. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides window film and tint removal in Mayan, Yas Island?

How long does window film and tint removal take?
Typically half a day for most apartments and one day for most villas. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Can hard water stains be removed from glass?
Yes, in most cases. Mineral deposits are polished out with a glass safe compound. Very old etching can be improved but not always removed.
Do you clean the outside of apartment windows?
We clean all glass reachable from balconies. Facade glass on towers is cleaned by the building using cradles or rope access.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Every one to three months outside, depending on distance from the sea, roads and construction.
Do you arrange the building permit in Mayan, Yas Island?
Yes. Most buildings ask contractors for a work permit, trade licence, insurance and staff IDs, and a service lift booking. We submit all of it for you.
Do we need Aldar approval for work in Yas Island?
Cleaning, AC servicing and repairs inside the home only need the gate or building pass, which the resident arranges. Exterior painting, waterproofing, fit out and any change to the facade, roof or garden structures need a no objection certificate from Aldar or the community management in Yas Island before work starts. We prepare the method statement, drawings, insurance and trade licence documents the approval asks for.
How do I choose a company for window film and tint removal in Mayan, Yas Island?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed.
