Recent Feedback from our Customers

9/6/2013, from Terry: "...please find attached images of the installation you did in Bolton. Everyone is really happy and the fitting team did a first class job..."

17/6/2013, from Paul: "I thought I would just email you regarding our recent experience with Tony Hall who represents your company.
My wife and I have driven poor Tony mad with trying to make up our minds regarding what doors to have at our property.
Tony has been superb from the start and incredibly knowledgable, patient and helpful there has been no pressure on his part.
We have now paid a deposit and are very much looking forward to the installation of our new windows which I am sure will enhance our amazing view.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Tony and Sunseeker Windows."

20/6/2013, from Rhys: "Just a quick note to say thanks for the quick response from your guys last week to our broken lock.
It really helped that they came out so promptly.
Many thanks"

26/6/2013, from Christine: "...I cannot tell you what a nice man you fitter is. He was polite, helpful, and tidy. You have restored my faith in the human race."

New Regulations for Double-Glazed Doors and Windows: CE Marking.

We’ve all seen the CE mark on various products over the years, e.g. toys and drinking glasses. From 1st July 2013, the CE mark applies to construction products, including glazed external doors and windows.

The performance standard differentiates between replacement doors and doors for new buildings including extensions. New-build doors must achieve an overall rating of 2 watts per square whereas replacement doors have to achieve a U-value of 1.8 overall.

Manufacturers of glazed external doors will be required to draw up a Declaration of Performance (DoP) that accepts responsibility to ensure that the door or window conforms to the declared performance. A DoP must list all the ‘Essential Requirements’ which includes the U-value and conformance to relevant Building Regulations.

The DoP must also contain other information, including the intended use or uses for the windows or doors, e.g. whether for pedestrian use, external, domestic or commercial locations. EU manufacturers must add a CE mark to all glazed doors and windows and imports must have a DoP - the Trading Standards Authority is charged with ensuring conformity with the new directive.

All double-glazed SunSeeker Doors have been tested for compliance and have all achieved the required 1.8 U-value necessary for replacement doors, giving home-owners a choice of chic Frameless or UltraSlim slide-and-turn doors or Slimline aluminium bi folds in place of old patio doors. All our double-glazed units are Kite-marked, too.

SunSeeker Slimline Bi folding Doors have been rated at 2, which also makes them the ideal choice for new extensions and new homes.

Frameless Glass Room Divider Doors Installation

How the room looked prior to the installation of SunSeeker Frameless Glass Room Divider Doors:








Advantages of installing Frameless Glass Doors include:
  • wider access between areas 
  • removal of dark elements allows more natural light flow 
  • rooms may be divided for separate heating or to enable separate conversations


The new room divider doors are of tempered "unbreakable" glass and do not have side frames, therefore affording a virtually uninterruptable view through them. The floor guide is recessed so that access is almost seemless between rooms.

Each of the doors is a standard pivot opening door which stacks to the side of the opening, taking up very little space. Open as many as required, as shown in these images:

Optional Extras with UltraSlim Doors


If you love glass but sometimes need privacy - or if you love the sun but occasionally it's too bright, we can supply UltraSlim doors with integral horizontal blinds, encapsulated within the double glazing cavity.

The blinds are worked by a magnetic 'pull' that attaches to the top of the doors, keeping the mechanism safe from over-zealous tugging - and the blinds NEVER NEED DUSTING!


Here is another UltraSlim door installation with 'wow' power - the horizontal bar detail was added to complement the style of the home. We think it looks stunning!
