Window Light Blocking Solutions

Indow offers three window light-blocking solutions to help you reduce air conditioning bills, gain privacy, or create darkness for better sleep. Our custom-made inserts fit windows using silicone compression tubing so they press into place without mounting hardware.

There are many unique challenges when it comes to controlling light. Indow inserts create custom window sun protection and window privacy solutions without having to replace your windows, add blinds, or hang curtains.

Sleep Panels block out all light for 100% darkness.

Ways to Block Sunlight from Windows

Sleep PanelBlackout window inserts provide 100% darkness and 50% noise reduction. Because of their snug fit, these panels block out ALL LIGHT, no creeping rays around the edges. The panels are made of medium density fiberboard with a white surface facing the inside of the room. This material also helps control room temperature. They install and uninstall in minutes with easy storage under the bed.

Museum GradeUV window protection prevents fading on wood floors, furniture, & artwork. These inserts block 98% of UV rays while allowing natural light through. They offer the same noise reduction and temperature control as the Sleep Panel. With UV protection for windows, you are protecting your other home investments.

Privacy GradeWindow privacy inserts that still allow natural light. These inserts are translucent, so block the view coming through the window, but allow light to fill the room. The surface of the insert is “clouded” which hides fingerprints and the compression seal helps reduce condensation (easy bathroom cleaning). They offer the same noise reduction and temperature control as the Sleep Panel.

 

*We want to ensure our inserts help solve your noise problem. Overall noise reduction depends on the amount of noise coming through your walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and existing windows. Noise reduction will be less when placed over double-pane windows. Read our full Noise Reduction Sheet to learn more.
