Whether you’re looking to upgrade a family home or future-proof a new-build, these I-tec systems provide exceptional value, combining Austrian engineering with genuine everyday benefits. Here's our deep-dive into the innovations we know and trust—because we've seen them in action.
I-tec Secure: Because Peace of Mind Starts at the Window
Internorm’s I-tec Secure system isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a serious upgrade to home security.
Instead of traditional locking pins, this system uses integrated flaps that latch onto the frame, making it nearly impossible to lever out the sash. With resistance class RC 2 as standard and RC 3 available on request, it delivers peace of mind even for ground-floor installations or properties in high-risk areas.
AT-ECO Insight: On installations in London and around the country, our clients value the concealed design that doesn't interfere with modern interior styling. Plus, the smooth uPVC surfaces are incredibly easy to clean—no more debris gathering around exposed locking points.

I-tec Shading: Smart Solar Control Without the Cables
I-tec Shading provides energy-efficient sun protection using integrated photovoltaic panels—no hardwired connection required. The system includes a rechargeable battery and smart temperature sensors that automatically adjust Venetian blinds inside the glazing, regulating solar gain throughout the day.
AT-ECO Insight: For homes and extensions with multiple openable Internorm windows, especially in sun-exposed areas like Kent’s countryside, I-tec Shading offers an elegant retrofit solution. It helps reduce summertime overheating and cuts cooling costs—without the disruption of cabling or mains wiring. It’s a perfect choice for homeowners seeking convenience, comfort, and sleek design in one self-powered unit.
Key Features:
- Achieves up to up to RC security rating (PAS24 and SBD)
- Standard on KF510 and KF520 window systems
- Fully concealed, minimalist look
- Seamless cleaning due to integrated flap technology

Seamless cleaning due to integrated flap technology.
I-tec Connect: Turn Your Windows into a Smart Home Feature
With I-tec Connect, homeowners can control I-tec Shading via smartphone or integrate it into their existing smart home ecosystem.
Compatible with:
Setup is straightforward: simply plug in the dedicated bridge device and connect it using the Matter standard. Once paired, your I-tec Shading can be scheduled, automated, or synced with broader smart home routines such as security modes or daily light patterns.
Important Note: While AT-ECO supplies and installs I-tec Shading units, smart home integration—such as syncing with automation platforms or configuring scenes—is typically handled by your home automation provider or electrician. We’ll ensure your windows are I-tec-ready, and you can then connect the system to your preferred smart ecosystem with the help of a Matter-compatible hub.
Setup Requirements:
- A dedicated bridge device available through Internorm partners
- Matter-supported smart home system

I-tec Glazing: Better Bonding for Maximum Performance
I-tec Glazing uses all-around adhesive bonding to secure the glass pane directly to the sash frame, increasing the structural stability of the unit. This method enhances thermal insulation and reduces sound transmission.
Key Benefits:
- All-round bonding improves glass stability and durability
- Significantly lowers air infiltration, boosting insulation
- Reduces sound transmission for quieter indoor spaces

I-tec Insulation: Thermal Efficiency from the Inside Out
Internorm’s I-tec Insulation involves injecting insulation granules into the internal chambers of the window frame. This process improves U-values by reducing thermal bridging across the frame.
Available on:
- KF410
- KF510
- KV440 (with integrated blinds)
Performance Benefits:
- Minimises heat loss through the frame
- Improves year-round indoor comfort
- Ideal for properties aiming for Part L compliance or Passivhaus-level performance

I-tec Decor: A New Standard in Custom Window Interiors
Internorm’s I-tec Decor is a proprietary digital printing technology that allows window interiors to be customised in finishes like Oak, Walnut, or Stone. This is a breakthrough—no other manufacturer currently offers comparable digital customisation directly on the window surface.
AT-ECO Insight: This is an excellent option for clients who want to coordinate their window frames with flooring, furniture, or architectural details—without sacrificing the thermal and structural performance of uPVC or aluminium frames.
Highlights:
- Available on KF310, KF410, and KS430 windows
- UV-resistant, high-definition finish applied in multiple layers
- Seamless design continuity throughout interior spaces

I-tec Open: Knock to Unlock—Redefining Convenience
I-tec Open is a pioneering smart-entry function for Internorm entrance doors. Rather than using a key, the door can be unlocked via a personalised knock pattern or internal button press. The knock must follow a specific rhythm programmed by the homeowner, preventing accidental unlocking.
Ideal For:
- Households with elderly residents or wheelchair users
- Families seeking hands-free access during the day
- Busy entryways requiring daytime convenience and nighttime security
How It Works:
- Personalised knock pattern activates day latch
- Green LED confirms active status
- Deactivates automatically or can be switched off for full security

Installation & Costs: What You Need to Know
Internorm’s I-tec technologies require specialist installation to function optimally. AT-ECO is a Certified Internorm Partner, experienced in installing windows and doors to the exacting standards required for these high-performance systems.
Please Note: We do not offer setup for home automation systems, Wi-Fi connections, or mobile app integrations. Clients should coordinate with a home automation specialist for any smart home integrations involving I-tec Connect or related technologies.
Cost Considerations:
- Pricing varies by system, frame material, and glazing type
- I-tec features add to the initial investment but offer long-term savings in energy bills, maintenance, and property value
Final Thoughts: The Future of Window Technology—Today
Internorm’s I-tec innovations are redefining how windows and doors contribute to comfort, efficiency, and lifestyle. Whether you value the energy savings of I-tec Insulation, the design flexibility of I-tec Decor, or the automation of I-tec Shading, these technologies offer something truly next-generation.
