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
We were delighted with the service and standards from Frameless Glass Curtains – everyone at the Company responded really well and work was done on time with minimum of fuss. Workers were polite, did a great job and left everything clean afterwards – and the windows look amazing!

Web site, initial contact and service
My wife saw a product similar to FGC Glass Curtains whilst on holiday. After undertaking a lot of searching on the internet we came across FGC. FGC offered a product we could not find anywhere else, i.e. a true frameless glass product, no side borders, only the top and bottom running rails. The product looked as if you were looking through a single piece of glass. The web site reflects the quality and aesthetic of the products.
My initial phone call to Raie was to get an idea of what could be done and to check a few technical details in this respect she was most helpful and enabled us to plan the job. In the quote we subsequently received ( which met our requirements) was an offer to visit the factory in Kent. We live in the NW but decided to visit when we went down there on a few days holiday. It is worthwhile going to see the product in real life, Gary met us and told us about the Glass Curtains and showed us how the various combinations of door openings, colours, handles etc could be configured – there was no pressure selling at all.
We had to wait until some joinery work had been completed but Raie got a technician to visit and survey, we sent final measurements and agreed a time and date for installation. When FGC said they would do something they did on time and were very courteous.
Now having the ‘curtains installed we are both very happy with the new look and increased light in our living room. The effect is modern and gives the impression of a much bigger room.
A lesson I have learnt is that its best to dispense with a wooden surround for your new doors. This only takes up unnecessary space as the track can be fixed into brickwork. I think this would also help in installation, allowing FGC technicians to make the fine adjustments, always best to ask Raie for advice.
Finally all of the guys who visited were courteous and pleasant leaving no mess behind.

When the 9 doors were first installed the overall affect was more than we could have hoped for, just exactly what we wanted – on time – in budget and wonderful to look at. After a technical hitch with the locking system which was rectified in a short time , the project was completed to our satisfaction.
All your team obviously take a pride in their work, which is much appreciated. A brilliant product that we wish you good luck with in the future. A very satisfied customer. Thank you all.

And we’d also like to say a sincere thank you to your installation team. They were efficient, courteous and highly skilled – and, successfully, had to deal with more issues on-site than they (or we) expected! We were extremely impressed by their professionalism and the finished article is, as above, fantastic.
Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) Excellent, on time & schedule.
Were we clean and tidy? Yes.
And finally are you pleased with our doors (would you Recommend us)? My next design & build project I will definitely recommend & use you guys.
May I also ask if you would like to be on our list of completed installations? Yes.

Furthermore, the installers were very professional, on time, polite, tidy, hard working and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable operating the doors before they left. The only negative experience was the survey, feedback I shared with Adrian as we needed his involvement to resolve the matter. Although we had agreed a 3 door configuration (this was confirmed as within tolerance by the factory) the surveyor persistently tried to make us change to 4 doors and he even attempted to influence our builder to make us change which we found unacceptable. Additionally it appears the measurements taken were incorrect because the doors were manufactured 20mm too tall and we had to grind the brickwork to make the opening bigger which, along with phone calls and deliberations on site with our builder, meant an delay of over an hour before the install could begin.
Despite this negative aspect we are really happy with the doors and would to recommend them to any prospective customer as well as being included on your list of completed installations.

Thank you again for the doors, we’re very happy with them and, once the renderer has finished (hopefully tomorrow), we’re really looking forward to removing the plastic protection so we can see through them properly. Mr B,Read more “Very Happy with our doors”
Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) Excellent.
Were we clean and tidy? Good but the windows were left uncleaned so difficult to check for scratches. VG at organising a company to deal with the scratches + v good service from scratch man.
And finally are you pleased with our doors (would you Recommend us)? Wonderful so far. We haven’t used them as the build is still on going.
