Frameless Bifolding doors in a house made of straw!

Our frameless bifolding doors have been used in a much publicised house made of straw. These unique houses are the brainchild of Brian White.

Brian Waite came up with an innovative way of building houses whilst at the same time keeping costs down. The result is a unique house made of straw.

A Unique house featuring unique bifolding doors.

This affordable strawbale house has recently been featured in Countryside Magazine. Originally publicised in 2012, it’s taken three years for the project to become a reality.

The houses made of straw are being built in Scotland and will be primarily be used as luxury holiday homes.

However, more and more people in Scotland are finding out about this eco friendly, affordable and attractive houses that have natural materials as well as featuring our frameless bifolding doors.

According to the builder, there has also been interest from as far afield as Hawaii!

The property features an eco-friendly specification.  It’s a  13 metre long and 6.5 metre wide two-storey construction from cruck-frame timber.  Curved I beams form the supporting joists with each frame segment filled with insulating straw bales. These are then rendered on the outside, lime plastered on the inside and covered with exterior tiles.

With such an idyllic location, it was important for anyone living in this home to enjoy the stunning views.  This is where Frameless Glass Curtains came in.

The property features our unique and bespoke frameless bifolding doors that offer the most fantastic views from the open plan first floor.

It is on the first floor that the living, dining and kitchen areas are located.  All of these benefit from the uninterrupted views and virtually invisible sight lines that our doors provide.

What our customers say

It’s nearly a year since you installed our glass curtains. They have been really great, exceeding our expectations, particularly during the winter months when they were absolutely draught free. When they are fully open you really feel that the lounge is part of the garden, it all becomes one space. Many thanks, they were one of our best decisions.

Initial contact FGC were very informative over the phone and were quick to arrange an appointment for us to see the doors at their showroom. They also gave a number of contacts for us to visit to view existing installations. Installation FGC installers arrived on time and completed the installation quickly and tidily. They were very polite and explained fully how to operate the doors before leaving. Some trim that was missing on the day

I just wanted to follow up as I was in the gallery this morning.  The guys were brilliant, on time, tidy, efficient and they fitted the door perfectly. We are very pleased  

We have had these doors for several months now and are very pleased with them. Our initial contact with the company was very positive, the structure and operation of the doors clearly explained. The installation was carried out very efficiently with no disruption and the installers were friendly, their work clean and tidy. Our friends have admired these frameless glass curtains and we would happily recommend them to anyone who was interested.

We are delighted with the end-resulting porch and it is achieving exactly what we wanted from it. We have also had several very positive comments from visitors, etc – which is very gratifying. We have also been impressed with the attitude and approach of all the company employees we have

Our FGC sliding doors were installed in May 2018. Although we have had two relatively minor problems – neither of which stopped the doors from working – FGC have attended very promptly to carry out remedial action. Excellent customer service from head office and excellent service from install technicians. Many visitors comment most favourably on appearance and functionality. Overall rating 10 out of

frameless glass doors invited me to their workshop to view the glass curtains for myself, and to show me how they were made. Installation was clean and tidy. When they say they are going to turn up, they do, and are always on time.The product looks great. It really does make the refurb seem complete, and finishes off the room nicely, and I have already recommeded FGD to my friends.

Thank you.  It is fabulous

It is a good time to say to you that while we still very much the windows, the ease of opening, the views closed or open, now that the weather has turned colder we have been struck quick dramatically by the improvement in insulation.  The large windows here that you/we have replaced were double glazed but quite tired – more than we knew it would seem.  The whole house has benefitted greatly from your magic.

Basically the installation itself was done pretty quickly and efficiently – three guys turned up early in the morning and were done by lunchtime. Polite, tidy.
