for drafty and noisy windows.
Replacing your windows because they’re drafty or let in too much noise is expensive. Indow Window combines creativity and simplicity into one elegant solution. Their unique laser measurement system and software allow them to create perfectly fitted and customized window inserts that reduce noise, save energy and protect a historic home’s value.
PRESERVING MATERIALS AND HISTORY
These compression fit window inserts are completely free of melting brackets that can damage the original window. Instead, you simply press the insert into the interior of the existing frame. This means fewer windows will end up in a landfill, significantly reducing CO2 emissions while also saving money. “It’s much more cost-effective,” says Kristina Damschen, the Director of Marketing for Indow. “A $20,000 window replacement project all of a sudden becomes a $4,000 project to get the same sort of energy savings.”
AMERICAN MADE
The product itself is designed, carefully handmade and assembled at Indow’s Portland, Oregon warehouse. It’s rare to find a product that can marry top-of-theline performance with aesthetics and energy efficiency, but this has always been Indow Window’s goal. “The energy efficiency has one of the best air seals out of the storm window options out there because of the laser measurement method which gets the window measurements down to the 32nd of an inch,” Kristina says. Because the products are locally sourced, the company has a holistic view of the manufacturing process, which ensures quality and benefits the American economy.
