This strikingly designed modern countryside new build on the outskirts of Rye in East Sussex highlights the growing use of timber in modern construction. With its timber frame shell, timber cladding externally and alu-clad timber windows this contemporary home blends in beautifully with its natural surroundings.
Norrsken P33A windows were used to help with the overall thermal performance of the building plus the triple-glazed lift and slide door and the recently launched S319A inline slider. This sliding door was designed with a larger fixed panel to the sliding door creating an interesting design feature. The project was featured in Build It magazine in 2020.

Unmistakably trusted.
The highest compliment is a recommendation. These are the voices of those who placed their trust in us.
“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.”

From the first meeting with Nick we felt confident that they were the Company for 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"
