Indow Windows Review

These inserts have helped very much with our super drafty old windows, and the noise reduction is very noticeable. That said, as a cheaper replacement for getting new windows, I wish (and would've thought) that these inserts would be a much lower percentage of what new windows would cost for what you actually get in this product by comparison. But I can't complain with the result!

What a difference! We are a 9 room bed and breakfast located in an 1881 built Victorian home. It has all its original windows with generic triple track storm windows added. We struggled with high heating bills, and heavy guest room drapes that would sway when it was windy. After researching a number of weatherizing ideas, we decided to make the investment in Indows. We needed 43 in total, and some are quite large.
It has been the right thing for us. The drafts that guests complained of are gone, and there has been a noticeable difference in how much better the house maintains its temperature during the winter months. As an extra benefit to us, the sound blocking abilities of the Indows panels have made the guest rooms notably quieter as well. This has certainly been a benefit to our guests' comfort, particularly in the rooms that face the main street. A worthy investment since we can use for them for years

I love my Indow windows. My house is much quieter and warmer this winter. i swore I was done putting up those plastic sheets with the blow dryer, but I have so many windows in my 1920's craftsman that all new windows was out of the budget. Indoors were the perfect fix. The technician that they sent out to the house was super nice and helpful. I even get a tax credit on my investment. Thanks Indow!

They do keep the house warm...unfortunately, they fall down a lot...and break things. Most definitely NOT safe for pets and kids. They've crashed on some pretty nice items in my house and even chipped up my new custom made dining table.

Love the window inserts I got from indow. I measured noise level in my bedroom that s facing the street - it would be in the 40-50 dB range. After installing the window inserts, it s gone down to 30-35 dB range which is ideal for sleeping environment. That room is now as quiet as the one that s not facing the street.

Their customer service was also fantastic. When I had some trouble early on, they were patient with me and helped me through the process. It took me more than 1 year to finally put in the order but it ended up paying off in the end.

What a difference! Living in cold, wintry Vermont, I used Indow Windows in a bathroom. I expected it to make a difference. What I didn't expect was that I'd feel it IMMEDIATELY. Literally, within seconds. The insert virtually stopped any draft through my 100-year old double hung window. And the inside of the insert is noticeably warmer than the glass on the original window. Bottom line--the room was instantly more comfortable. (And it doesn't hurt that I'll save some money on my gas bill, too!)

I love my Indow! A new neighbor moved in next door with several large dogs who are left outside and bark at all hours. I was woken up several times a night. I found a solution. Since I installed my Indow, I have been sleeping through the night with no earplugs. This is a great product! Martin was so helpful and made the process painless. I highly recommend Indow!

i purchased a noise reducing window. reduced noise levels by about half. satisfied with final product but be ready to wait a while for it to get made. friendly staff

This is a quality company with quality people. A dirt road was paved, behind our house, turning it into the Indy 500 racetrack by most drivers, motorcyclists, contractor vehicles, gravel and cement trucks. It made our quiet, enjoyable home into a sound distraction. After much research of all options, I decided to order Indow windows. My first contact was with Shane Miller. He had exceptional knowledge of the windows and answered 5+ e-mails/phone calls with several questions in each one. Best of all, he answered them very promptly. He is personable, trustworthy, very enjoyable and shows interest in every potential customers, remembering what they said in previous conversations. That is rare. The next contact was with Eli Nicholson. He answered several emails and called to help with the portal window to record window measurements and to place the order. It was simple and easy to do. He was fun to talk with, as well. He is a river rafter. They both believe in the product and the difference it is making to solve the specific problems of customers. Our 3 windows were 69-93 L and 45-51 H. They arrived in a wooden crate, well-protected, and were clear as glass. The noise reduction from Indow Windows installation made a significant difference. We barely hear normal cars and SUV s or newer pickups. They are a whisper. Pickups without mufflers, Harleys, construction trucks noise is decreased by 50% or more, making their sounds lower in pitch and muffled. That makes life good again! There are 3 smaller windows that we will order in the near future, near the big Indow windows installed I know that will further reduce the noise. No window replacement could have reduced the noise level at the same cost as Indow Windows. I can tell they will help with energy efficiency. The air cannot get past them with the secure seal. If you order Indow Windows, you will be well-satisfied. I will end this as I began it this is a quality company with quality people.

I installed Indow Windows in my 1964 built home to compensate for some very large, very drafty single pane windows. Replacement windows were simply way too expensive. We had always problems with ice building up in the winter with the meltwater then rotting out the sills. The year we put in the Indow Windows there was no ice at all. The rooms were warmer too and frankly we forgot they were even there -- that's how well they fit into the look of the home and the existing window frames. A great product that totally delivered on its promise!

Good afternoon Richard.. people are too often quick to criticize and not praise.

Joan and I wanted you to know that we are totally and completely satisfied with your Indow inserts.

When you told us that the soundproofing would improve over time as the gaskets conformed to the shape of the wall, we didn't doubt you.. but after a couple of months these inserts are working perfectly.

When the kids across the street are playing outside including dribbling a basketball, there is no sound whatsoever that enters the house!

You were not our low bidder by any means, but I felt your product had the best opportunity to do the job.

I was one of the very first Indow Window customers, and have been so grateful to have them during the cold winters shielding the original windows of my pre-war Northwest Portland condominium. They do double duty, effectively muffling the loud garbage trucks that rumble through the neighborhood every morning. I take them out every year when spring comes. The materials are top notch, and have held up perfectly over the years. Support local business. Retain antique history and character. Invest in Indow Windows!

I suffered for years from the industrial noise outside our bedroom window. I was skeptical that the insert would really work, and concerned about the price, but as soon as we put the indow insert in I noticed a HUGE difference in the sound getting through. It is SO worth it! I can finally enjoy being in my bedroom! And, the customer service is excellent!

I was skeptical if the window was going to reduce the noise in my bedroom I live on a busy Street. After installing I was pleasantly surprised how much noise it reduced. I am now ordering for my living room! Thanks indow and Stephen Wyssenski for helping me out!

I was unable to sleep through the night in the master bedroom of my home due to street noise. I have two fairly large windows in the bedroom. I was impressed with the look of the inserts - unless you look closely you can't tell there is anything other than a window. And my bedroom is much more quiet now - I could tell a big difference immediately. Now I am able to reclaim my master bedroom and get a good night's sleep!

We live in a converted loft on a very busy intersection in the downtown Phoenix area (next to a busy restaurant!) and the noise has been a big issue. We looked into purchasing triple pane windows, but it was impossible to match the original windows and the cost was at minimum $12,000. We would have been willing to pay that amount, but the window salesperson could not promise more than a 20% reduction in the noise. I found the Indows website after searching the web for soundproofing ideas and felt very lucky to have a local dealer. Our local dealer, Karl Darden, was outstanding! He was prompt, professional, and courteous. He told us exactly what we could expect from the sound-blocking inserts, the science behind the product, and gave us an accurate quote. We felt very confident that he wasn't just being a salesman, he was truly invested in this product. The entire process from start to finish was seamless, and Karl saved us an extra $300 on shipping by placing our order in conjunction with another customer.

The inserts have been everything Karl promised and more! If I had to put a value on the amount of sound blocking- I would say 40-50% less noise is entering our home. It has been a sleep-saver for me! Our total investment for the Indows was approximately $3000 and the value we get from them exceeds what we spent. I highly recommend this product and the local Phoenix rep at Super Green Solutions. Thank you, Karl and Tyler, for an excellent customer service experience and an amazing product.

P.S. I will add a picture of my windows soon. You can't even tell there is anything added to them!

We bought 2 to see how they would work in bedrooms prior to ordering 3 more for our front room. The second morning after install my wife said she slept deeply for the first time in a couple years.
She equated her sleep to being exhausted from a busy work routine. I mentioned that it was a result of the INSERTS, that she was not subconsciously experiencing the traffic at night, and that her brain could Shut down and rest, she agreed! The next night I told her to focus on the QUIET in the room before she fell asleep, she did and agreed on the performance of your product.
Being in the construction industry 30 years I looked diligently for sound control products as this research is not new to me. Indows' product was the most progressive product we found. They also seemed to have a company culture that I liked.
Every step of the process someone from Indow was in touch with us to see how things were proceeding. Surprisingly we received an email from the CEO asking our opinion also. We will be ordering 3 more. They suite our needs to the letter.

In 2011 we had sixteen circa 1922 leaky double hung windows outfitted with Indow Window inserts. Couldn't be happier.

We had remodeled our home in 2008. The new upstairs windows are Marvin double pane windows. The contrast in comfort between the downstairs with it's drafty windows and the upstairs with the Marvins made our main floor almost unlivable in the winter. So, rather than tear out and replace our beautiful old windows at an exorbitant cost, we got Indow Windows.

Now our main floor is as draft-free as the upstairs and the conversations of the many walkers passing our corner lot home have been muted as well.

Our Indow Windows are some of the first they installed and we had one issue where a couple of them were popping out a bit and venting when it would get real windy. They sent someone out and added a spacer below the inserts that resolved this issue.

I was concerned that they would look bad. They are pretty much invisible unless you know to look for them.

Very pleased.

Company has some crazy rules and high turnover of employees

Excellent service, I was looking for a cheaper way to insulate and soundproof some odd shaped custom windows I had and this was an excellent option to do that and a lot cheaper than havingthe windows replaced. I am definitely happy with them and I was surprised how quick I received them after I measured for them. I also want to thank Brian McCracken for being so patient with my order , he definitely provided excellent customer service. Thank You.

I purchased inserts of the highest level/thickness/acoustic Commercial grade and they blocked a little 'bit' of the vehicle traffic noise. I do not recommend these Indow window inserts. For example: we have to play a sound machine still in that room, and we can still hear the traffic over the sound machine THROUGH the INDOW Window Inserts. We had an acoustics professional come for a consult and since they are unbiased trying to sell something to us, after noise decibel readings the we just need to replace 2 windows. We should've used the THOUSANDS of dollars for these Indow Window inserts to just replace our 2 windows to better thicker rated quality.
Also the YouTube videos are also false advertising and misleading. We were told by company that the Youtube video is for 'dramatic' cinematic marketing only and not actual results. I contacted company and since they are custom, it is a complete waste of money. Spread the word to help others not make the same mistake.

My bedrooms and work-from-home office are all on the noisy side of the house, so I d get a poor night s sleep and then go to work having to listen to even more distracting traffic. One night I was at my wit s end with having to have pink noise machines constantly going to block out the sound and, while online researching ways to cut down interior noise, I found a mention of Indow windows. I filled out the form to receive more info and set about researching window inserts. Reviews of Indow inserts from non-affiliated sites impressed me and I also watched several of their videos on how the inserts are made and how to install them myself.

The next day I had an email from Brandon in customer service inviting me to set up an appointment to chat with him about what I was looking for and what my expectations for inserts were. Brandon is a treat to interact with! He s friendly and professional and answered all of my questions with no hesitation or having to put me on hold to find an answer. This gave me a lot of confidence in both the company and the product.

After deciding to order some inserts I was shipped a really neat laser device that measured the windows for which I was ordering inserts to within a 16th of an inch. I must say it was sort of fun to use. They do want it back, though, unfortunately!

My inserts arrived on time and very well packaged. I m in Tennessee and they arrived from Oregon with no damage to the inserts even though the shipping cartons had signs of their long journey across most of the country. The day before the inserts arrived I moved the furniture out of the way of all five of my windows that were receiving inserts, and I was ready!

Installing the inserts is a breeze. They press into place inside the window frame snugly, which helps to banish noise. I placed the acoustic versions in the bedrooms and in the office I used the standard grade thickness. The standard thickness is doing a great job of blocking traffic noise in my office.

The acoustic thickness inserts in the bedrooms are as if I had a volume knob and turned the traffic noise from a nine down to two. I truly can barely hear traffic noise at all now in those rooms unless there s a commercial truck or a motorcycle going past, and even then the sound is very much less noticeable than it was before the inserts. I no longer have to have a noise machine on my headboard in order to fall asleep and stay that way.

Indow windows have significantly improved my quality of life.

The product itself is amazing. Simple easy elegant and effective!! What s even more impressive is the team. From CEO to all team members who worked in our home windows installation, all are professional, considerate, and personal. I will recommend to all my friends and family.

Fantastic product! I needed more quiet in my bodywork studio from the restaurant downstairs. The window totally does the trick! I don't even know there are people outside my window now! Communication and service was the best! Thank you Stephen and all!!

I ultimately bought 3 custom Indow acoustic grade window inserts for the new bedroom addition on my house. The highway sound that I was hearing is much less noticeable now, and I can sleep through the night. They fit perfectly in the windows, thanks to their nifty laser measuring system. I'm very happy with these sound insulating inserts.

They took several weeks to get back to me and only did so when I emailed them a second time with a more strongly worded message. But because I used a swear word, they refused to do any business with me. Don't expect a quick response from them...or any response at all.

I have equipped two rooms with Indows Sleep panels,with exceptional results. The Indows team was responsive and accommodating, and I look forward to working with them again.

Ordered 2 58" x 34" acoustic window inserts for my master bedroom windows. These windows are facing a moderately busy double yellow 45 mph street and across that street is a large high school. As you can imagine, the noise floor is problematic. Being comfortable with self-measurement, I decided to forego the Indow provided measuring kit for faster turn around of the inserts. I had my own precise laser measurement tool (Bosch GLM 50C) and used that to measure the dimensions down to fractions of an inch (within 32nds). I submitted those dimensions to the measuring portal website link provided by Indow and 3 weeks later, UPS delivers 2 well packaged and protected window inserts. Having no experience with installation, it took me a few times to get the corners snug and seated properly, but with the help of their Youtube videos, I was able to figure it out. Fitment was perfect as the silicone edges on the insert allow for some give. The results were better than expected. Significant reduction in high frequency noise coming from the passing cars and high school activities. After having these inserts for a few months now, I have a much more consistent sleep schedule as I'm not suddenly jolted awake by a loud motorcycle passing by at 3 in the morning. I am ordering another to cover the bathroom window adjacent to the master bedroom, which is also facing the same street. Thanks Indow!!

this place has all the window and installation and all the things you going to need to keep your house cool in the summer and heat in in the winter

We LOVE our Indow Windows! We've had them for six months and the experience is great. We were able to improve comfort, sound reduction, reduce heat loss all the while preserving several large, old windows with ornamental leaded panes we have in our 1918 house. Plus, we "Indowed" other smaller windows to reduce heat loss and not have to go through the expense of window replacement. We installed them ourselves and the benefit was immediate. We were also amazed how good they look. They really disappear into the window frame. My only advice is to pay close attention to measuring. They provide a great tool set to do the measuring and ours fit perfectly! The Indow people were supportive and web tools were great to work with.

I've had the Indow Window inserts in our kitchen windows for quite a few years now and they have made a big difference. I love the way the have transformed the room and have really worked to make the whole house less drafty and more comfortable. We not only saved money on not having to replace good looking, old original windows but also saved heating and cooling costs. I often recommend these to friends and neighbors. The other nice thing is no one ever notices they are there when they come over. They blend in nicely with the original trim work. Highly recommended.

My wife and I live in New York City, and are both poor sleepers. The stress of the noise and light pollution have dogged us since we moved up here from a decidedly more bucolic home in South Carolina. I worked with Ryan at Indow to have two acoustic inserts made for our bedroom windows, which are leftover single pane jobs of 80s vintage facing a Manhattan street. The difference is like night and day. Smaller high pitched noises from the street have been eliminated entirely, and even the municipal garbage trucks jolting thunderously over speed humps at 4am are less jarring. Visually, you can't really tell the insert is there until you physically walk up to the window: it's pretty much invisible and doesn't obstruct any sunlight at all. Construction is solid, shipping/packaging was incredibly safe and careful, and installation was a breeze. Thanks!
