Accommodating & Collaborative

“We recently worked with Internorm UK at the early design stage of a 91-home residential development in London. The project required high-performance timber-aluminium composite windows and doors that would minimise heating demand, optimally balance solar gain in winter and light transmission throughout the year, and achieve the required high acoustic performance.  Internorm were able to accommodate all the requirements of this complex project while maintaining the crisp and uniform aesthetics we were looking for. The collaboration has been instrumental in finding the balance between design, performance and cost.”
