This is a bit of a forever home for us, so I wanted to go all out and get the best. Nordic Windows & Doors came highly recommended, and when I saw their previous work, I was instantly impressed. The process was smooth with great communication, and Pete, the installer, really knew his stuff. The triple glazing is perfect for Tassie, and I absolutely love the quality of the sliding doors—they lock anywhere and slide so easily, even the really heavy glass just glides. The windows that flick to open are great too, but the sliders are a standout. I’m genuinely glad I chose Nordic. These windows are awesome.
