Located in the stunning Scottish Highlands, the Creag Na H‑Iolaire project is a striking example of modern architectural design combined with exceptional building performance. This bespoke home makes full use of its dramatic landscape, with large-format glazing and carefully specified openings maximising natural light and panoramic views.
Nordvest UK Ltd supplied a complete package of high-performance timber-aluminium windows and doors, designed specifically to meet the demands of this contemporary build. The installation includes a range of fixed and opening windows, oversized feature glazing, sliding patio doors, and outward-opening balcony doors, all finished in a sleek RAL 7016 anthracite grey inside and out.
A standout feature of the project is the large-scale picture window (4195mm x 2990mm), delivering uninterrupted views while achieving an impressive U-value of 0.63 W/m²K, demonstrating the project’s commitment to energy efficiency. Across the build, triple-glazed units with warm-edge spacers and advanced insulating profiles achieve an average U-value of approximately 0.70 W/m²K, contributing to excellent thermal performance and reduced energy consumption.
The specification also includes:
This project highlights Nordvest’s capability to deliver bespoke glazing solutions for luxury residential builds, combining Scandinavian craftsmanship with market-leading thermal performance.

Nordvest tilt and turn windows offer two opening modes in one, tilt at the top for controlled ventilation, or turn on the side hinge for full access. Designed and manufactured in Norway, they are a popular choice for new builds, self-builders, and renovation projects across the UK.
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 balcony doors are outward opening French doors supplied as single or double leaf, in full height glass or with a solid lower panel. Every door comes with three-point espagnolette locking, a friction stay to hold the door open at any position up to 90°, and a choice of hardwood or low-level threshold in timber or aluminium clad.
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.
Aluminium clad timber doors give you a powder coated, maintenance free exterior with a warm natural timber finish on the inside. Available across the full Nordvest door range; entrance, balcony, lift and slide, and tilt & turn, in any RAL colour, double or triple glazed, built for a 60-year lifespan.
