“Finished installing new Indow inserts about a month ago in our circa 1906 single pane, double hung windows. I was concermed about the outside rim making our already busy trim work look too thick, but it blends in fine and I barely notice it. We already see a noticeable difference in heat retention and noise abatement. Also, kudos to Indow team for excellent measurement instruction kit. It was very informative with clear instructions. More labor intensive but less guesswork than ordering mini blinds! 100% happy with our purchase and highly recommend, especially for older homes.”

We are also glad to hear that our measuring instructions were clear and easy for you to follow. It truly makes us all happy to have brought comfort and quiet to another satisfied customer. Thanks again for the review.

“The inserts worked like magic, turning our noisy Manhattan bedroom, where we couldn't sleep without earplugs, into a quiet and cozy room, where it's possible to listen enjoy reading a book in silence.”

Boris, We are so glad the inserts have helped to provide you with the quiet you desire. As we have stated before, while it is not by magic, the effect of our inserts can certainly make an unbelievable difference. Thanks again for the review.

“I thought the Indows would block more of the noise since it's advertised as 70% noise reduction. After having several days with the inserts I'd say the noise level has been reduced only by about 25%.”

Helpful Report

Sandy, Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not experiencing the noise reduction you expected. It is true that, based upon independent tests, our tests have been proven to reduce 50%-70% over single-pane windows alone. However, all sound environments are indeed different as are the different sounds/sound frequencies each customer is wishing to mitigate. Variables such as construction materials in walls can make the sound issue more complicated, with sounds entering through areas other than the windows. We are happy to assist in troubleshooting your inserts to ensure they are fitting properly and that you are maximizing their noise reduction properties. If you are indeed looking for further noise reduction, other soundproofing methods that address areas other than the window openings may be necessary.

“I priced one window and the quote was $1,135.00 for the insert. The window size was 71 1/8" x 47 1/4". The window is new and a triple pane window and cost less than the insert. I wanted the insert because I live in a high wind area. I thought the inserts were supposed to be less than replacing a window. While they may have a good product, the cost was not affordable. I checked with another company that has a similar product and the quote was $40.00 for the same size window.”

Norm, Thanks for reaching out. Just to be clear, the estimate you speak of is for our acoustic grade inserts which are designed to maximize noise reduction. Our standard grade inserts, which provide the same energy savings, but are not maximized for sound mitigation, are considerably less. Also, this estimate includes the handling fee for an oversize insert. When comparing our inserts versus replacement windows, one thing that is often overlooked is the cost of installation. Our inserts have zero installation costs, as they are quickly and easily self-installed without the need for additional prep work or hardware. While it is true that there are similar products out there at lesser price points, they are not truly comparable in terms of materials, design, durability, craftsmanship, and performance. Many of our customers are those that have tried other solutions and returned to us for a more effective, durable, and proven solution.

“My Indow inserts check off all the boxes for me: Look great, easy to install, big reduction in noise coming in from outside (I have them in my music studio.) I'm very happy with them and highly recommend them for anyone who wants to reduce outside noise while looking great.”

Thanks also for pointing out the aesthetic aspects. We have always aimed at providing comfort and quiet in a way that is unobtrusive and easily integrates with existing design elements in the home or office. We wish you the best on your music projects.

“The customer service was great, but the wait time was obviously insane. I know it’s not your fault, but the emails leading up to the delivery were really confusing. It was hard to know if I was getting new information or just repeated information, sometimes an email was a mix of both old and new info and they were very long. The delivery was almost infeasible without an elevator and a walk up. The product is doing what it said it would though, and it was more affordable than the competition.”

Madison, Thanks for your review. We truly appreciate the feedback. While we have tried our best to be as clear as possible in our communication, we recognize that there has been confusion at times. The uncertainty of these unprecedented times has certainly led to a lot of issues that we as a company have never had to deal with before. While we are certainly happy to hear that the inserts have fulfilled your needs, we look forward to fulfilling these customer needs without the extra time or complications. As supply chain and shipping complexities begin to ease, we will continue our work to ensure our customers get the comfort and quiet they seek as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thanks again for the review.

“The lead time has been way too long. I was told they were shipped, I received this survey and I STILL DO NOT HAVE the Storm Windows.”

(Self-Measure) - Posted 3 years ago

Joe, Thanks for reaching out. We certainly understand that the extended lead times are a real concern. Supply chain issues have indeed persisted longer than expected and the strained state that shipping providers find themselves in has made things especially frustrating for all involved. We remain committed to doing everything in our power to get our customers their orders as quickly as possible in these unique times. This includes communication and clarification based upon the accurate timelines and available information. As you know, we have reached out to our shipping partners on your behalf and provided you with an update. Specific shipping service centers have been hit very hard recently, as with your order, which has led to delays in the last legs of your delivery.

“My bedroom window backs up to train tracks. The train honking happens at all hours of the day/night and is loud that it makes my house shake. Before I got my Indow inserts I wasn’t able to sleep through the night, even though I had modern double-paned windows. The sound is still audible but sounds way more faint and distant. Huge increase in my quality of life, so I’m loving my inserts!”

“The inserts do a good job. As well as can be expected. If they could block the sound of muscle cars and motorcycles, they'd be perfect.”

Edward, Thanks for the review. We are glad to hear the inserts are meeting your expectations. Because sound environments vary and different frequencies behave differently, it is indeed difficult to achieve noise reduction "perfection." However, while noise can be finicky, the considerable dose of quiet our inserts can provide makes a big difference.

Thanks for the feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not experiencing the noise reduction you expected. All sound situations vary depending on construction materials used in the building and the nature of the sound. Often sound can travel through areas other than the window openings. This, of course, would necessitate other sound mitigating methods. That said, we are happy to troubleshoot the fit of your inserts to ensure that you are maximizing the noise reduction properties of the inserts.

“This a DYI process from start to finish, and I have yet to finish. I ordered 16 inserts, I wish I had not. The amount of time and energy to measure the windows not once, but twice to assure accuracy is tiring. A 225 lb crate arrived, that the freight driver would only drop in front of my home. It was raining. The cardboard was ripped, but the windows were intact. I inspected each one. The windows are strewn around my house because they are too big and awkward for me to insert alone. I am searching for a friend for this project phase. Am I happy? I don't know. The product looks reasonable, but the process is a bear and I likely would have gone in a different direction had I understood these important nuances.”

Marsha, Thanks for the feedback. We remain committed to constant improvement and truly appreciate your engagement with the process. While we are happy that you have no issues with the inserts themselves, we are sorry that the measuring process was difficult for you and that the shipping provided extra complications. We have strived to make our guarantee-backed measuring process as straight forward as possible with instructions and measurement support available. We understand that this process takes time and effort. Some of our customers who are especially pressed for time have elected to have a handyperson assist them. Because this process has been so successful in ensuring our guaranteed snug fit, we remain committed to it. That said, we also use feedback such as yours to constantly evaluate this and all our processes at Indow. Regarding the shipping, it is always disconcerting to hear that this aspect did not go smoothly. While we are proud that our crating was indeed able to protect against what appears to be some rough handling, we understand that this does not meet your or our expectations. We will be following up with our shipping partners to ensure that expectations are met going forward. These unprecedented times have certainly provided unique challenges for us. However, we remain committed to our customers from first contact to installation and appreciate your patience, your business, and your honest feedback.

“Order came in sooner than expected. Installed them and they all fit. I no longer hear the dogs at before the sun AM!! The delivery was dissapointing. They never called to set up a time for me to be home. I work from home. the company deleiverd while I was home, never rang the door bell/car was in driveway. It was raining. A neighbor came over to tell me about the delivery. Crate was damaged but contents were okay.”

Mark, Thanks for the review. While we are very happy that our inserts are working well to keep the sounds of the dogs at bay, we are sorry to hear about the complications regarding delivery. Obviously, this level of service does not meet our expectations or yours. As we are always trying to ensure that expectations are met, we have relayed this to our shipping partner. While we understand that the shipping industry is under unprecedented strain right now, we remain committed to a complete and professional customer experience from first contact to order delivery. Thanks again for the feedback.

“The overall construction is not bad though the sound reduction aspects as advertise is pretty underwhelming. While it helps damper normal noise (talking, birds, low ambient noise) it does nothing for cars/motorbikes or distance trains/planes.”

Adam, Thanks for the feedback. We pride ourselves in the quality and performance of our inserts. Our products are built to last and provide excellent energy savings and noise reduction. All sound environments are indeed different, with many factors such as wall construction/materials, etc. Also, low frequencies (due to the properties of the sound wave) are the most difficult to mitigate and can travel though areas other than the window openings. That said, we would be happy to trouble shoot the fit of your inserts to ensure that you are maximizing the noise reduction properties. Thanks again.

Tony, Thanks for the feedback and thanks for your patience. We are so glad to hear that our inserts have been effective in bringing quiet to your office setting. While not magic, the difference in quality of life and business that noise reduction can bring is often unbelievable. We understand that these pandemic-related delays have had considerable impact on our customers. We now are seeing indicators that some of those mitigating factors are beginning to ease and hope to be adjusting our lead times soon. Thanks for sticking with us and letting us, and others, know that during these unprecedented times, our solutions are indeed worth the wait.

“I love them they perform great. I took two pictures, one where the sun it the floor through a window before install and one where the sun hit the floor through the Indow. These windows are about two feet apart. The regular window’s temperature was 102 degrees, the Indow window 78 degrees. I’m very happy.”

“I was so excited to get my noise reduction indow windows. We have a freight train that runs behind our house. After waiting 3 1/2 months we finally got our windows. They were delivered without any issues. We followed the installation instructions. All the windows fit like they should, except for one, the most important one, our BEDROOM! That insert seemed a little off. It did not fit as snug as the rest. After a month with the windows, we find that the train noise is muffled. By no means is the noise totally cancelled out. At first I was disappointed, there’s really not much we can do at this point. It is what it is. At least I’m not being woken up by the train at night. I can now hear the TV when a train goes by. So I guess the windows are doing the best they can for our situation. I won’t know how much energy we are saving yet. We live in Florida. Next summer will be telling.”

Laurie, Thanks for the feedback and the review. We are glad to hear the inserts have worked out for you. We would be happy to help troubleshoot your bedroom window insert as to fit. As you know, we have a snug fit guarantee. All sound situations are different due to the type of noise, construction materials of the home, etc. We are also glad to hear that the train noise has been minimized. We look forward to hearing about the energy savings performance next summer. Thanks again.
