Why not take advantage of the intelligent I-tec Ventilation system to help ensure that you and your living spaces benefit from a constant supply of fresh air and a healthy indoor climate without the need to open windows whatever the weather.

The best part about I-tec Ventilation is the fact that the sensor is fully integrated – meaning when the humidity in a room is too high, it automatically activates the ventilation. This system is popular in kitchen and bathroom windows as these rooms have high humidity.
