Frameless Glass Curtains ( FGC ) has become a victim of its own success . Based at Revenge Road , Lordswood , sales have rocketed to such an extent that FGC Ltd are purchasing an acre of land and are designing a purpose-built factory and office space for the sole purpose of improving and expanding production .
FGC have been installing their unique ( patent pending ) double and triple glazed frameless glass doors for the past 9 years . With demand ever increasing we have over 300 locations around the UK where you can see our doors in situ .
Frameless Glass Doors are available in single , double and triple glazed . They slide , stack or fold at one or both ends on a mono track . The products are technically very different from those supplied by many other double-glazing companies . The bi-folding doors are designed to fit together without the obstructions of a frame , I .
