    Frameless Glass Curtains (FGC), founded in 2001, specialises in bespoke, high-quality glass curtain systems for residential and commercial properties. Their frameless designs provide uninterrupted views and maximum natural light, tailored perfectly to each property. FGC has earned multiple awards and featured in high-profile UK and international projects, including luxury hotels and private residences.

    Frameless Glass Curtains has partnered with Goudsmit UK to provide the best magnetic solutions for their glass curtain systems. Goudsmit UK's high-quality magnets ensure a secure and effortless closing mechanism for FGC's frameless glass curtains, adding to their already impressive functionality and sleek design.


    With increased competition in the market FGC faced two main challenges:
    1. Rising costs on a range of magnets required to manufacture their products.
    2. Long lead times for these magnets with their current suppliers.

    FGC partnered with Goudsmit UK to overcome their supply and engineering challenges. Leveraging advanced manufacturing technologies and extensive experience, Goudsmit UK delivered custom-made magnets tailored precisely to FGC’s requirements, significantly reducing costs and lead times:

    • Our technical experts collaborated closely with FGC, providing comprehensive engineering support.
    • We developed detailed engineering drawings specifying exact dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications.
    • Additionally, we guided FGC on critical design considerations such as magnetic field strength, temperature resistance, and durability, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the magnets.
    • Following approval of the engineering drawings, Goudsmit UK produced samples to validate precise compliance with FGC’s specifications. Rigorous quality control checks throughout the manufacturing process ensured consistently high standards.
    This bespoke engineering approach enabled FGC to enhance productivity, avoid delays, and maintain budgetary control.

    We have had a great experience working with Goudsmit UK on producing bespoke magnets for our application. We are excited to continue our working relationship with Goudsmit UK and look forward to the innovative solutions they will continue to provide us with in the future. This successful collaboration also serves as a case study for other manufacturers looking to optimise their production processes, reduce costs, and improve lead times by working with Goudsmit UK."
