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.

Wonderful product and great service
Following the installation of our new FGC porch, I wanted to give a recommendation for the excellent and diligent service, and wonderful product we received from FGC. Numerous people have commented since we had the work done, and it has clearly added value – both visually and financially – to our property. Also, when the… guys came to fit the product, it was noted that there was a slight flaw in one of the specially shaped pieces of glass which to be honest I didn’t even spot. They noted this, informed us, left the porch in a fitted but completely safe and usable state, they then remanufactured a replacement piece and arranged a special visit (a 300+ mile round trip) to come and refit the part in question. Their service, commitment and attention to detail was incredible both on the road and from the office. A really good company to do business with. Read more “Wonderful product and great service”

No comparison!
As to how we were from initial contact (were we polite)? Initial contact was great! You may remember that we first visited one of your existing customers in Henley. I honestly can’t remember the ladies name but she was really helpful, was happy to invite us round the next evening and was clearly delighted… with the finished product. We subsequently (next weekend) arranged to come over to your manufacturing site and spent some time with Paul who explained in more detail how the product was conceived, how you manufactured, the options available and the process going forward. All really helpful, friendly and informative. We left knowing the whilst your product is roughly 2x the cost of “bog standard” bi-fold doors, in reality there is really no comparison. All the people we’ve shown so far have been blown away with the installation and at the moment they don’t look as good as they will with a finished floor and finished patio. Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) Installation was really simple – you and your team worked really well with my builder – Mike Nash @ BCS. We needed to delay the originally agreed upon date due to some extra worked required to install steels etc. Your team were able to flex the install date and work seamlessly with our builder to get the doors installed. Our builder commented how slick your team was installing the product. He’s so impressed I think it’s a feature he may well recommend to future clients working on similar projects. Were we clean and tidy? As clean and tidy as you can be on a proper building site!! And finally are you pleased with our doors (would you Recommend us)? We’re delighted. Obviously we’re not living with the door yet, but we’ve been over a few times and played opening and closing them. They look great in the building site location and we know they’ll look and work even better once we’re complete and decorated. I’m happy to update this section in April once we’ve been in for a while and happy to take some photos once we’re decorated and have the outside landscaping complete. I think they’ll look really special then! May I also ask if you would like to be on our list of completed installations? Yes, happy to be listed, need to wait until March before we can really show them. As we often get asked if we have anything people living locally can view If we can help show your product – we’ll do so willingly. We both work so will need a little scheduling but in principle – absolutely. We pay £50 each client and an extra £50 if they buy our product Great! I think the lady who acted as a reference site in Henley told us that you’d really looked after her in terms of after-sales service and this also sold us on the product and company. 20160115 Read more “No comparison!”
Brilliant After Installation Service
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 10. Read more “Brilliant After Installation Service”

First class
We moved last year and wanted to maximise the view right through from the rear to the front of the building, overlooking the river. After much searching we found FGC, who installed internal glass doors between the rooms. FGC were very efficient and although we are in the North they sorted out a subsequent small… problem promptly. FGC are not cheap but they had what we wanted and we’re delighted with them. Read more “First class”

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”

The installer was excellent. In spite of being let down by another member of the team he got on with with the job in a positive manner. Disruption was kept to a minimum and he cleared and tidied up. He demonstrated how to use the doors, ensured I knew how to operate them and answered… any questions before he left. He is a credit to your company. Overall: I am very pleased with my frameless glass curtains and will recommend them to anyone interested. 20150113 Read more “Mr C, Bournmouth”

On the day of installation your fitters arrived on time and commenced with the installation. They were courteous and polite and left the work area clean and tidy. I would be happy for you to use the installation as a promotional example of your work. 20150218
