NorDan UK Ltd is the biggest supplier of timber alu clad windows to the social housing market in the UK and the firm is currently expanding its supply and install service to customers.
With project management offices located close to the customer – in Aberdeen, Glenrothes, Stirling, Wishaw, Gloucester, Leeds and Ipswich, NorDan has always strived to be customer focused and to offer complete de-risked solutions.
Gloucester and Ipswich offices have a long track record in installing product as well as supplying windows and doors from the eight factories in Norway Sweden and Poland. And now across the teams in Gloucester, Ipswich and Leeds, key personnel are trained to SMSTS (Site Managers Safety Training Scheme) standard and all are currently undergoing IOSH training.
“Installation gives us a complete solution, not just a product,” says regional director Gloucester, Jason Pritchard. “Anecdotally nearly all contractors I speak with are interested in letting a package of windows and doors on a supply and install basis. I strongly believe that our willingness and ability to take responsibility for the installation of our products offers a de-risked solution to our customers. Most of our competitors are unwilling to take on this responsibility.”

The firm is focused on tradition and innovation. It has one of the most progressive research and development teams in Europe which continues to improve the sustainability and energy rating of all NorDan products. Windows can be supplied with u values as low as 0.7W/m2K suitable for Passivhaus. Life cycle analysis has shown the costs over the life cycle of a high performance timber window or an alu clad timber window are significantly reduced, and you can expect a life cycle of at least 45 years+.
