When we purchased our house, it had two sets of timber bi fold doors, each spanning an opening of approx. 5m. These caused us a lot of problems with warping through the seasons, and the ration of timber to glass limited the light into the rooms.
We therefore replaced them with the frameless curtain system and could not have been happier. We could only be bothered with the faff of struggling to open the timber doors for special occasions, whereas the new doors we can open much more easily. However most importantly they let in considerably more light.
We were delighted with both actual product and the installation.

What our customers say
Porch glass cutains
Everybody from survey to install knew what they had to do and advised on what needed to be done prior to install. The glass cutains are just what was needed for the porch and have created a talking point within the village. They do look splendid and we are very pleased with them.

Installation of four double-glazed doors, internal to a large bay window arrangement, top floor flat. Initial contact was by email and a quote came back within a couple of days. More than can be said for some of the other companies we contacted about similar products. We visited the factory for a demonstration and were… also put in touch with a relatively local previous customer whom we went to see, to look at the product in the ‘real world’ so to speak and to discuss their experience with the company. This was a very positive visit and we decided to go ahead with ordering. After some negotiation on price (this is not a cheap product, but you get what you pay for!) the order was placed, a site survey was carried out, and we awaited a call for an installation date. This came much sooner than anticipated which was great. On the installation day, the three installers arrived on time at 08:00 and they were done by 16:00. It took twice as long as anticipated due to them having to drill out concrete to lay the track. There was not one grumble about this, they were all polite and friendly guys. Quite a lot of mess was made by the installation, mainly due to drilling into concrete, but the guys were careful to clean up after themselves as best they could. 20150218 Read more “MIKE LEVERS, Hove”

Excellent Service
We have had excellent service from our doors, but recently experienced a problem with the handle. FCG sent a team out promptly, they arrived early and fixed the problem to our entire satisfaction quickly, efficiently and politely. A really nice couple of guys and it is a great comfort that when things go wrong, as… is almost inevitable, they are fixed without any fuss or bother.
Many thanks. Read more “Excellent Service”

Replacement doors
I had been looking for some time to replace my patio doors in our lounge as they had very wide plastic frames and wanted something that wouldn’t restrict the view up the garden I asked to see if it was possible to view some already installed close by. Luckily there was, we went and viewed… and was very impressed. I’ve seen lots of companies do bi-fold and there is actually one that is on the same industrial estate where I work, but no of them had the vision I was looking for. I was impressed with the service I received from the initial enquiry to the eventual placing of order (we were longer getting round to doing these than first thought but I was never hassled from FGC) The guys that fitted did a great job, very friendly and tidy. I am very pleased with the doors, I can now sit in my lounge and clearly see the garden (next project) I would recommend FGC. Read more “Replacement doors”

Great aftercare
We had our doors fitted in 2015 and have been very pleased with them. As with most things there are times when an adjustment is required to the doors or in our case a door needing to be replaced as it had developed a problem with condensation. The company has been very good at resolving… these matters in an efficient and timely manner. We highly recommend the product which has made a big difference to how we interact between our house and the garden. Read more “Great aftercare”

All in all a very good experience with FGC
Thanks you for everything FGC did on this project for us. We found you from an on-line search which doesn’t always identify helpful or committed suppliers, especially where the requirement is small or simple as this one was.. FGC were both helpful and committed. Thank you especially for progressing things much quicker that the weeks… you first quoted to meet our programme. Paul and his colleague (sorry didn’t get his name), where very good on site. They were late arriving as the first glass had blown up in the oven, (I know happens) but he called and kept me informed. I appreciated that. And the replacement piece was produced without delay. So all in all a very good experience with FGC and we will come back to you for similar things. Greg our estimator found you and I’ve included him in on this e-mail to let him know he can confidentially contact you in the future for things of this type. I will also recommend you to Rubicon Interiors, (www.rubiconinteriors.co.uk). They are a commercial fit-out business who engage us for specialist joinery works. They manage the whole fit out package which sometimes includes office partitions in glass I think. Rob 20150906 Read more “All in all a very good experience with FGC”

May I ask you for a review on how we performed? – all very good except that it took a month to get the correct size of glass doors after the wrong sized ones turned up on initial installation – good job it wasn’t winter or might have been having a different conversation. I appreciate… this was an error at the factory. In response to my initial query– Paul fitted a locking handle to the outside of the door on the second visit which helps. We just need to solve the air gaps when the door is not sealed. How were we from initial contact (were we polite)? – Paul and Ricky were very helpful, polite and knowledgeable – please pass on my thanks to them both. Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) – Both visits on time for 08:00 Were we clean and tidy? – yes And finally are you pleased with our doors (would you Recommend us)? – Yes – I’m very pleased so far – look great and of good quality, feel solid and safe. I’ll know better though after a few months of constant use from the family…….. In terms of the competition – you are slightly more expensive than a traditional tri fold door. We decided to use you as we were already converts to glass curtains. And we needed the flexibility in the way your doors split and open. I think the majority of people need convincing for some reason. I have an outstanding query ref the sealing of the doors when the handle has not been turned. Paul is developing an idea to help me – I’d really appreciate it if Paul can come back to me as soon as he can. The glass curtains are in constant use all day and my family are not good at going through the doors and then turning the handle to seal….. – Paul knows the details. In terms of making a difference – these glass curtains have replaced some single glazed glass curtains – and there is already a difference in the evening if the temp drops outside and we have them shut. Family getting used to them . Cat is freaked out by them, nobody has run into them yet…. 20150217 Read more “Baldwin – Lincoln”
