Architects, join us at our first ever Open Day. Friday 26 June @ the Norrsken Showroom, Poole. We'll walk through the full product range, run short technical talks on the details that come up most often - threshold coordination, junction interfaces - and leave time for project conversations. Free to attend. Places are limited - we're keeping numbers small so every attendee gets meaningful time with the team. Open to architects, specifiers, and architectural technologists. If the day fills, we'll add you to a waiting list. norrsken.co.uk/blogs/news/no…

Long Barn is a single-storey home in Hertfordshire designed by TAS Architects, completed in 2024. Two off-site manufactured timber-framed volumes are arranged around a central courtyard garden, with the glazing composition framing views of the mature planting and trees beyond.⁠ ⁠ The project was designed and delivered to AECB standards throughout, and has recently been shortlisted for the RIBA East Awards 2026.⁠ ⁠ Norrsken windows and doors used: S307A glazed doors, S305A entrance door, P31A window norrsken.co.uk/blogs/gallery…

Why does hardware maintenance matter?⁠ ⁠ With aluminium-clad timber windows, the focus is usually on the external finish. But a lot of the work happens in the hardware. Hinges, locks, and mechanisms are under constant load as they carry the sash and maintain the compression that keeps the window airtight.⁠ ⁠ Maintenance is about durability as well as about preserving performance. norrsken.co.uk/blogs/article…

There's a reason tilt and turn windows are so popular with our customers. Once you understand how they work, it makes total sense. Tilt the handle on our P33A and P34A windows one way, and the top of the sash opens inward for quiet, draught-free ventilation: safe, secure, and perfect for everyday use. Turn it the other way, and the whole window swings open fully. Brilliant for cleaning the glass from the inside, and useful when you want proper airflow. If you've got little ones at home, you can lock the handle so the window only ever tilts: ventilation without the worry. Both windows are triple glazed and precision-engineered to custom sizes for every project with: Whole-window U-values from 0.77 W/m²K Full RAL colour palette inside and out Larger, full-height formats available Range of handle styles and finishes available Decorative glazing bars and custom shapes We've been specifying these windows into passive houses and self-builds for years. They're thermally efficient, perform beautifully and elevate your whole project. Drop us a message if you'd like to talk through what's right for your project.

So, what exactly are Aluminium-clad windows?⁠ ⁠ Think of them as a friendly partnership between different materials. The timber on the inside adds warmth, comfort, and natural insulation to your living space, making it cozy and inviting. On the outside, aluminium handles the tough work, protecting the frame from the elements and reducing maintenance worries.⁠ ⁠ Originally, this combination was all about durability, but nowadays, it’s just as much about giving you design flexibility. You can enjoy clean lines, modern finishes, and colours that match your architecture, without compromising the beautiful feel of real wood inside your home.⁠ ⁠ It’s a thoughtful choice for homes that care about both performance and creating a welcoming space.⁠ ⁠ Curious about how they could be perfect for your project?

There's something quite extraordinary about a door this size moving at the touch of a finger. The S315A is our most popular lift and slide door: triple glazed, aluminium-clad, and available up to 8.5 metres wide. Passive House certified, U-values down to 0.75 W/m²K, PAS 24 security certification, and configurations spanning two to four panels. The S315A's built to last, and designed around the way you actually want to live. A big thank you to Pietra Casa for providing the beautiful waterjet-cut porcelain tiles for such a perfect flush threshold. Come and see it in our showroom in Poole, or explore the full spec online.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Norrsken triple glazed windows and doors were fitted in 2022 when we built a new house. They are superb. One very large patio door was becoming stiff to open. A Norrsken technician visited to make some adjustments under warranty, all perfect again. Excellent product and service." We like getting new reviews. This one from last week's a nice reminder of the incredible job our engineers and Customer Support team do, supporting Norrsken customers across the country.

What happens at a Norrsken showroom visit? Nick takes us through the way we generally start showroom consultations at the new Poole HQ for Norrsken. Every project is unique - so we spent eight months designing and building a space for the team – and our customers – to flourish. Whether you're deep in Passive House specifications, navigating a period property renovation, or coordinating a multi-dwelling development, we wanted somewhere you could properly explore what's possible - without rushing. Have you visited yet?

A familiar design, done properly. Side-hung windows open outward on side hinges, providing a wide opening for fresh air without occupying space inside your home. They offer clear views, easy ventilation control, and secure multi-point locking, all wrapped in a clean, timeless design. Equally at home in traditional properties and contemporary builds, they’re a dependable choice that works effortlessly day to day.

We often share a lot of beautiful completed project images. Here's some of the behind-the-scenes work that gets our clients there. Every installation is unique, with its own access requirements, lifting plan and safety protocols. Our teams might be handling products that weigh 300kgs or more, completing three to four installations per week across the country. So how do we ensure each goes smoothly and safely? Meet the install kit box. Each one contains everything our team needs: fittings, instructions, risk assessments, and unique site details tailored to that specific project. Here are all our February install boxes, organised to perfection by Dani in our Operations Team. This is what excellent installations look like before they even begin.
