For more than two decades, Viking Window has been providing energy-efficient windows, many of which are Passive House Institute Certified components. In addition, the Danish-Estonian company offers wooden inward- and outward-opening windows and doors that are highly energy efficient.

Double and triple glazed windows are available from Viking Window. The windows in their SW14 Passive House series are a Passive House Institute Certified Component.

Other Door Options
Although not as efficient as the SW14 doors, Viking does offer other types of doors that are still energy efficient.
- Terrace Doors: Inward or outward opening, these doors have the option of one or two leaves.
