Need to know how to block sunlight heat from windows? Window blinds, shades, and panels all provide DIY window insulation, but also block light. If you want any natural light, or a view, you need something that blocks sunlight heat from windows, but lets the light in. Indow window inserts are the best way to block heat from windows while still seeing the light.
Indow Inserts create an airtight seal around your windows that insulates your home and keeps the cool conditioned air inside. Our inserts stop heat from coming through windows while still allowing natural light in. All grades of our window inserts have shown to save 20% on air conditioning loads and will keep your home cooler and quieter all summer long.
If you are looking for a product that filters damaging UV rays, the Indow Museum Grade inserts reduce UV by 98%. Museum Grade has higher clarity than regular glass, without any tint.
There are various window heat blocker options. More information can be found at the Department of Energy.
Window Blinds & Curtains – Blinds, fully closed are pretty effective at reducing summer heat. They are somewhat difficult to control and will let light in between the slats. Window curtains can reduce heat by 33% if multiple steps are taken: the curtains are medium-colored, have white-plastic backings, and remain closed.
Window Shades – Accordion-like insulated shades that can fold up to the top of your window frame. Usually two layers with air pockets in between to increase insulation. About 20% energy savings. Only insulating in the down, light-blocking position.
Window Film – Film adheres to your window glass and comes with many options: tinted, UV-blocking, Low-e, blackout. Their effectiveness depends on their transparency and orientation – less transparent and west/east-facing windows benefit more. This means, less light and loss of view.
Low-E Windows – Low-emissivity coatings reduce heat transference through windows up to 30% – 50%. If you’re interested in replacing your windows, know that low-e windows cost 10% – 15% and the coating lasts 10 – 15 years.
Window Inserts – Inserts or interior storm windows, block heat and UV-rays while allowing natural light to penetrate. Indow window inserts add 20% energy savings on average. They have the added bonus of blocking noise.

I appreciate everything about the whole Indow window process.
Scheduling and holding a consultation online was easy and seamless. I consultant with KAYA, and he provided a thorough easy-going no pressure to move forward until I was ready consultation.
Incentives were clearly outlined if I decided to move forward and order to be able to make my inserts even more affordable if I acted in a timely manner with measuring and submitting my order as well as returning the measure kit.
The Indow inserts arrived within the expected timeframe and installing them was very easy. One of my favorite parts was watching how to install video, because they used humor, and it really held my attention and put me at ease, allowing me to take in all the little details I needed to insert my Indows correctly.
Within hours, I noticed a temperature shift in the room. It was cooler and more comfortable. The next day when I worked in my office with the Indows the landscaper was across the street with the leaf blower and there was considerable reduction in noise making it a low background buzz instead of a disturbance to the work I was doing. I’ve only had them installed for three weeks and I’ve been so happy with them. It was a great investment for that room in the house that I use for my office.
