IndowONE Product Data

Acrylic Types

All types come with Compression Tube color options: brown, warm white and black. Custom colors are available for large commercial orders. Call to inquire.

• Standard Grade (STD)

  Our baseline product. The clear nominal 1/8" thick acrylic panel provides a great balance of comfort, efficiency, and noise dampening at an affordable price.

• Acoustic Grade (AG)

  Reduces noise coming through operable single-pane windows by 18.9 dBa, which “feels,” subjectively, like a 70% reduction in noise. Reduces noise coming through double-pane windows by 10 to 12 dBA, equivalent to a 50% reduction. STC rating of 42-45 with double-pane windows. Available in Commercial Grade.

• Commercial Grade (CG)

  Have an extra abrasion-resistant coating to provide additional protection against scratching (moving and frequent cleaning). Safe to use cleaners such as Windex. There is no visual difference between the Standard, Museum and Commercial Grade acrylic.

• Museum Grade (MG)

  Protects furniture, carpets, and artwork by filtering 98% of all UV rays from sunlight coming through windows. There is no visual difference between the Standard, Museum, and Commercial Grade acrylic.

• Sleep Panel (SP)

  These panels block all light coming through your windows and provide the acoustic dampening and thermal insulation of Standard Indow inserts. Ideal for light sleepers, night-shift workers, newborns, and home theater audiophiles.

• Privacy Grade (PG)

  Translucent acrylic diffuses light transmission while blocking details and defined shadows. Great for bathrooms.

Color Options

The Compression Tube is available in brown, light linen white, and black. Custom colors are available for large scale orders. Call to inquire.

Compatibility

In order for Indow window inserts to fit properly there must be an unobstructed flat surface perpendicular to the window pane with a depth of at least 5/8" that runs the entire perimeter of the window. We call this Frame Depth.

Common obstructions are inset window treatments (blinds), hardware, hooks, locks, and hinges. Blinds need an extra 3/5" gap between the insert and your window frame.

Solutions for less than 5/8" Frame Depth: In some cases, where there is less than 5/8", removing or replacing molding or installing a jamb extension can create room for the Indow inserts to fit. If the frame depth is just under 5/8", clear swivel clips (G) can be attached to the window frame to hold the Indow insert in place (see below). For complete solutions see our Frame Fit Kit.

Additional Features

• 

  Corner Cut Out

  A piece of tubing cut from each corner to prevent buckling. This faces out and is not visible from the interior. The elbow-shaped corner insert can be removed for flexible adjustments.

• 

  D-Ring

  A pull-ring is attached 4" above the lower left corner of the insert to aid in removal. Silver d-ring used for white tubing and black d-ring used for brown and black tubing.

• 

  Safety Chains

  Used on windows larger than 8 sq. ft. to prevent the Indow insert from falling out of the window frame in the event of high wind pressure. The Safety Chains are inconspicuously anchored to the window frame by one small screw. Safety chains are not included on some Specialty Shaped windows.

• 

  Skylight Safety Hardware

  Required on all skylight windows, using our swivel clips or retaining pins from our Frame Fit Kit.

• Egress

  Indow window inserts comply with egress regulations. In an emergency, occupants should be able to quickly remove the Indow inserts without a tool. In a young child's bedroom, we recommend leaving one window bare with no insert installed.

• Storage

  Many Indow window inserts can be left in place year-round with occasional removal for cleaning. If an Indow insert is removed for an extended period, proper storage is essential. For example, do not lean the insert or store in a way that compresses the tubing or bends the acrylic. See ‘Indow Care Guide' for complete storage and product care instructions.

• Maximum Temperature Range

  Indow inserts should not be exposed to temperatures above 160°F (71°C) for continuous duration, or 180°F (82°C) for short, intermittent periods of time.
