Easy Window UV Protection

Indow Museum Grade inserts are UV protection for windows to prevent wood floors, furniture, and artwork from fading, saving you the cost of replacing damaged items. These UV blocking windows block 98% of the damaging UV radiation coming through your windows, while providing the comfort and energy savings of Standard Grade.

UV radiation, more than other kinds of heat and light, is the biggest cause of fading of furniture and wood floors. Unless you have newer double-pane windows with UV reflecting, your windows are not stopping UV rays from entering your home. UV radiation is harmful to your furniture, art, and floors, but also can be harmful to your health. Museum Grade inserts press into the interior of your existing window frames for solar window protection that doesn’t alter your windows. This means you get the performance of new double-pane windows, but keep your home’s original windows.

Museum Grade:

  • Nominal 1/8“ thick acrylic glazing that’s visually identical to Standard Grade.
  • Edged in Indow’s patented silicone compression tubing.
  • Made in three different colors - warm white, brown and black.
  • Available in custom shapes like arches and rounds.
  • Virtually invisible when installed.

Museum Grade solar window inserts blend into the surrounding window frame, preserving the look of your original windows while also providing uv blocking so furniture, artwork, books, and wood floors don’t get damaged. Blinds and shades perform similarly when it comes to UV blocking, but they will be worn down over time from the UV rays.


Craftsman, Scott Sidler: Indow Museum Grade inserts provide your old windows with UV protection

“To use Indow Museum Grade, where you can extend the life of the floors another 10-15 years between re-finishings, financially, it makes a lot of sense.”

– Scott Sidler, The Craftsman Blog

Testimonials on UV Blocking Window Inserts

Partners Cord and Alonso, who live in the famed Case Study House #26 in California, purchased Museum Grade inserts to protect their art collection from intense sunlight and UV damage. Because they care about their home’s interior preservation, window inserts were the answer.

“I am amazed at how well they fit in and how easy it was to install them,” Cord said.
