Unmistakably trusted.
The highest compliment is a recommendation. These are the voices of those who placed their trust in us.
"Excellent Company from start to finish… If only every window supplier operated like this! I have used many others over the years on various projects but Norrsken far exceeded all of them… I hope this helps you make a decision for what is probably a large chunk of your budget… They are totally worth it"
Angela Smith

“Having used Norrsken in the past we were happy to recommend them to one of our clients who was looking for the best sound proofing and weatherproofing they could get being set on a hill top overlooking the sea and facing strong westerly winds. They were not disappointed. A quality product, delivered well and on time. Thankyou.”
Ken Pearson
Homeowner
"Fantastic professional service, from the original design to the final installation. The triple-glazed windows and doors that have been fitted to our new house are of a very high quality and look amazing. We definitely made the right choice when we decided to use Norrsken, nothing is too much trouble for them."
Nigel
Homeowner
"I did my research before contacting Norrsken but they had come highly recommended by our Architect for our Passive House self build.
From the first meeting with Nick we felt confident that they were the Company for us."

“The quality of the triple glazed, alu-clad windows and doors is superb. They feel so reassuringly solid ... I opted for a wood stain for the internal finish on the frames, and am so glad I did, as it shows off the beauty of the wood perfectly. The whole process from order to installation went smoothly. I thoroughly recommend Norrsken.”
Gareth
Homeowner
"Norrsken provided attentive service from drawings to on-site installation for our project at National Trust Stourhead and we would definitely recommend and repeat commission them on future projects."
Charlotte Hill-Baldwin
Architect, H-B Designs
“From our very first interaction to the aftercare support, Norrsken has been exceptional. The quality of their windows is outstanding - beautifully designed, expertly crafted, and a real standout feature in our home. They've truly elevated the overall look and feel of the house.”
