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.
Every detail engineered to the Norwegian standard, where windows must perform in extreme climates for decades without failure.
The sash reverses fully so the outer glass face can be cleaned from inside — no ladders or access equipment needed.
No part of the sash projects inward during operation. Curtains, blinds, and windowsill items are not disturbed.
The sash can be held slightly open for ventilation while remaining secure against entry.
Limits the opening arc so the sash cannot reverse fully when children are present.
Supplied complete to full specification. No optional extras required to meet building regulations or cleaning standards.
Available as individual sashes or combined into a multiple-sash window for larger glazed elevations.
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.

The sash opens outward, rotating on a horizontal axis. At a certain point in the opening the sash reverses fully, bringing the outer face inside the room so the glass can be cleaned without the need for ladders or access equipment. Once released, the sash can be returned to the closed position.
Crucially, no part of the sash projects into the room during operation. Curtains, blinds, and items on the windowsill are not disturbed — a practical advantage in bedrooms, kitchens, and any room where the sill is in use.
Every Nordvest top swing fully reversible window is supplied complete:
This is the only window in the range where the full specification is met without optional extras. What you see is what you need.
Top swing fully reversible windows can be supplied as a single sash or combined as multiple sash windows sharing a common frame. This makes them well suited to larger glazed elevations — new builds, extensions, and commercial projects — where a consistent appearance across multiple openings is required.
Available in a range of colours in both timber and aluminium-clad finish.
The top swing fully reversible has been the dominant window type in Scandinavia for decades. In Norway, where building standards are demanding and energy performance expectations are high, this is simply the standard window. Its popularity in the UK has grown steadily among self-builders, architects, and contractors who want a window that performs to a higher standard without the complexity of a tilt and turn mechanism.
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.
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.
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.
