It's working

I had used different similar products in two previous homes, with some satisfaction... I bought Indows for all 21 of my windows in 2021, after dithering for years. I live in a high-rise condominium, so the windows cannot be changed, despite some being >40 years old. I'm very happy with the way the Indows perform. Most of them (on the fixed windows) remain in place year-round and have moderated summer heat and UV gain and winter heat extremely well. The firetrucks and ambulances on the nearby main road are quieter as well! I remove the Indows from the five opening windows needed for summer ventilation (no A/C) and reinstalled them at the end of October, the onset of winter. Measuring was tricky but precise; if done carefully, it produces the required result. There is no local contractor; I did all the measuring. Ordering was complex but efficient, delivery was delayed by supply chain issues and Covid, unboxing in the street and installation was simple (helped with 'Task Rabbits', at Indow's suggestion).

They actually do work surprisingly well! Don't expect 100% noise reduction, or you will be disappointed. But there has been a significant drop in the road noise in the rooms where I bought the windows, such that it does not bother me anymore and I tune it out. The installation and measuring process were a lot harder than advertised, recommend getting a handyman to help.

Pricey but they really work! I ordered these to make the front bedroom in my old home on a main road livable. They were easy to install although measuring scared me a bit! While I still hear traffic (mostly trucks and motorcycles) normal car traffic is virtually silenced. While I'm not able to sleep in here because we get so many trucks in the morning I am able to use this room as an office space now, which was my goal. This room was once the noisiest room in my house and now I enjoy coming up here to watch tv. Thank you!

The inserts came solid and well made. But not really effective for plane and train noise. Sales person Reed was not not very responsive, especially after sale.

I recently bought an older home (built 1930) that had all original windows. I did not want to get rid of the windows, but needed to find some energy efficiency. I learned about Indows from the New York Times. The whole process was super easy and everyone was very helpful! I'm pleased with the inserts I got! Thank you!

What can I say. It works and looks better than I thought it would. It ended up costing less than I thought it would, and it was really really simple to measure and order. This is a really good product.

Pricing is comparable to custom exterior, 3 channel vinyl/aluminum storm windows. In my area, that priced to about $700 per window. Because my window was oversized and I only bought one, I had to pay surcharges that brought my insert up to $1000. Had I bought more than one, I would have paid closer to what I was quoted for exterior--I think my other windows would have been classified as oversized as well, but if not, they would fall under the $700 per. I will not be removing my insert for summer, but if you plan to open your window, you will need to remove and store it. Indow recommends storing them flat (like on the floor, or a large table). The shipping crate is large, wide and heavy. Since I was alone, I ended up having to unbox mine at the foot of my driveway and carry the insert into the house. It is packaged extremely well with cardboard and wood, so there should be no problem with damage. It was easy to measure and easy to install.
