I found out about 1st Sliding Doors online and then was separately recommended it via our builder and then I found out a friend of mine (who also did a full house reno) ended up using them so I am lucky that I saw the finished results from a friend before I bought. Our final order was: 1. Frameless Window Box Seat (Oriel window). 2. Aluminium Cladding (below the Oriel window) 3. Sliding doors with a flush floor finish between inside and out and 20mm sightline - this is the thinnest in the market. These are 3000mm high. 4 / 5. Tilt and turn x2 with a handle that tucks into the frame! - there is no other tilt and turn windows on the market that i've found like this. 6 / 7. Glass balustrade for the tilt and turn windows x2 (these fit in frameless looking out) 8. Fixed lightwell 2735 x1497 - in one piece of glass. 9. Frameless glass roof 6305 x 1540 which is 4 pieces of glass completely flush with 3 silicon joints 10. Fixed lightwell 1194 x 1700 - one piece of glass. 11. Fixed lightwell 1400 x 1190 - one piece of glass. We were spending a lot of money so I spent time driving to vendors across the south east to make sure I understood what I was buying - here are some learnings: 1. 1st Sliding Doors have some items that other vendors can't produce or are not comfortable doing - and from what I understand there are others products coming out. These guys are innovating. 2. They know their stuff. I grilled Marcus a lot about UV values (heat efficiency) and thickness of glass, etc. If you're buying - ask your vendor about this and compare it to 1st Sliding.. 3. They are competitive on price - I've got quotes from other vendors and Marcus' prices are what you would expect to pay. 4. They're good people. Marcus is defo a character who I trust and like. When Richard came to site he was super friendly and explained everything I needed. He also supports Arsenal.... nobody is perfect :) I've read some of the others reviews here.. I agree with the responsiveness.. but here's the thing - they're sometimes unresponsive because they're so busy - i've been to the showroom and seen how many orders they're fulfilling. I have done most of my calls with Marcus post 1900 - and I also came to visit his workshop with the team then at 1930. This suits me as I've got a day job. Overall you should 100% speak to them if you're getting any bespoke glazing done.
