Nordvest UK supplied bespoke aluminium-clad timber windows and doors for The Braes, Glenlivet, a contemporary home by Excel Scotland. Large-format glazing and sliding doors maximise natural light, panoramic views and energy efficiency.
Situated in the heart of Speyside, The Braes, Glenlivet is a striking contemporary home delivered by Excel Scotland, a leading Scottish designer and manufacturer of bespoke timber frame homes. Working alongside the team at Excel Scotland (www.excelscotland.co.uk), Nordvest supplied a tailored package of aluminium-clad timber windows, feature glazing, entrance doors and large-format sliding doors, carefully selected to complement the property's modern architectural design and maximise views across the spectacular Glenlivet landscape. The project highlights how premium Scandinavian windows and doors can enhance natural light, energy efficiency and the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The completed glazing package plays a key role in defining the character of The Braes, creating bright, open living spaces and framing panoramic views of the surrounding Speyside countryside. By combining Scandinavian craftsmanship with high-performance materials, Nordvest helped deliver a home that balances contemporary design with exceptional comfort, energy efficiency and long-term durability. This project is another excellent example of Nordvest's expertise in supplying bespoke windows and doors for luxury self-build homes, architect-designed properties and premium residential developments throughout Scotland.
Fixed frame windows offer the highest thermal performance and maximum glazed area of any window type. Whether specified as a single large picture window to frame a view, a Passivhaus-grade thermal unit, or a glass-to-glass corner, Nordvest fixed frames are available in any shape or size, in timber or aluminium-clad.
Aluminium-clad timber windows give you the best of both materials: a powder-coated aluminium exterior that needs no painting or maintenance, with a warm natural timber reveal on the inside. Nordvest alu-clad windows are built for a 60-year lifespan and are available across the full window range, in any RAL colour, double or triple glazed.
Nordvest main entrance doors are manufactured in Norway to the same exacting standard as the window range. Available in timber or aluminium-clad, inward or outward opening, in fully glazed, full panel, or mixed configurations. Suited to new build, renovation, commercial, and Passivhaus projects across the UK.
Nordvest sliding doors use a lift-and-slide mechanism where the door lifts slightly on its track to slide, then drops back down to seal when closed, giving a weathertight performance that conventional sliding doors cannot match. The ideal solution for large, glazed openings where an outward opening door is not practical.
