The classic European outward-opening window, built to Norwegian standards. Nordvest side hung casement windows suit period, heritage, and cottage-style properties where the traditional sash aesthetic matters without compromising on thermal performance, security, or longevity.
Every detail engineered to the Norwegian standard, where windows must perform in extreme climates for decades without failure.
The sash is held open by a friction stay, eliminating the need for traditional casement stays or sash props. Cleaner sightlines, no hardware clutter.
Full-length espagnolette locking engages at multiple points around the frame for a weathertight seal and high security in every position.
A child restrictor can be fitted to limit opening width — essential for upper-floor windows and a frequent requirement on residential and local authority projects.
Supplied as a single sash or as multiple sashes side by side, and in any combination of opening and fixed lights, to match the opening pattern of the original window or the architect’s intent.
On tall windows or windows positioned above worktops, the handle can be placed off-centre near the bottom for comfortable, ergonomic operation without reaching.
Available in natural timber for period interiors, or aluminium-clad timber for a maintenance-free exterior with a warm timber reveal inside.
Nordvest has been manufacturing windows and doors in Norway since 1957. The UK operation brings that product range directly to British builders, architects, and homeowners, with bespoke manufacturing, UK-based sales, and full technical support.
Standard specification shown. Triple glazing and aluminium-clad options alter U-values. Contact us for a site-specific calculation.
Frames and sashes are manufactured from slow-grown Nordic pine — dense, dimensionally stable, and naturally resistant to moisture movement. The timber is factory-primed and finished to order.
All casement windows are supplied with double or triple glazing as standard. Triple glazing achieves U-values below 0.8 W/m²K. Solar control and acoustic laminate glazing options are available.
Single sash, paired sash, or multiple-sash arrangements. Any light can be specified as fixed (non-opening) to suit the design intent. Open and fixed lights can be mixed within a single frame unit.
Espagnolette locking is standard. With enhanced window security options availablewhere required. Child restrictors are available on all opening sashes.
Available in a full range of RAL colours (aluminium-clad variants) or factory-stained natural timber. Internal and external finishes can be specified independently.
Nordvest's most popular window. The top swing fully reversible opens outward at the top and rotates fully so the outer face can be cleaned from inside, no ladders, no additional hardware. Supplied complete with night lock, and child restrictor as standard.
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.
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.
