DIY Window Treatments: No Contractors Required
If your windows are letting in too much noise, or drafts, or light, you need an upgrade. Living with unwanted light and sound, especially when you're stuck inside, can make you feel out of control and not at home in your house.
The most common window treatments are:
- Adding curtains or blinds, which either block some light, or all light and some sound
- Getting replacement windows
- Replacing the windows yourself, if you are a skilled DIYer
Curtains, blinds, and window replacement can all require contractors or professional installers coming into your home. They would need access to any windows you want to upgrade, and in the case of replacement windows, they would need to access your wall, opening it up before doing any repairs or updates.
Watch How Long It Takes to Install Inserts vs Blinds
A better option is diy window inserts which can be installed from the comfort of your house to add privacy and energy savings without blocking your windows. If you want more control over the light and noise coming through your windows, but still like the way they look, think about adding window inserts.
DIY Window Inserts
Our window inserts can all be self installed. They just push into the interior of your window frame without mounting hardware or altering your original window. The window insert is custom made to fit your window precisely and mailed to your home or business so the whole interaction is contactless. We even have a contactless measurement process.
All of our diy window treatments block noise and drafts, but some grade types have extra benefits, like translucent panel for added privacy or UV protection to stop wood floors and furniture from fading.

Replacement Windows
Indow inserts hush outside noise to a whisper.
Once the window inserts are installed, you can still add blind or curtains—they're a great way to dress up any room. With diy window inserts, you won't need to rely on curtains for privacy or noise control, so you can add whatever style you like.
How to Measure & Install DIY Window Inserts
- We ship you a laser measurement kit (thoroughly cleaned between each use)
- You measure your windows at home
- Enter window dimensions into our online portal (our proprietary software and in-house window experts check the dimensions to ensure a perfect fit)
- We create your custom window insert & ship it to you
- You install it at home by pressing it into your window
Your window measurements work for each of these grade types: standard, noise-blocking, UV-blocking, privacy-grade. You can decide which grade of custom window insert you want at any point.
Window Insert Cost
The cost of our self-install window inserts depends on the size of your window and the grade type you choose. A standard-sized window averages $368 or $31/sf. When you choose to install yourself, you are skipping installation fees and the trouble of construction, and you're also making the entire process contactless.
Customer Reviews
I'm enjoying the units, however will need to wait until next year's colder weather to get a truer feel or read on how well they work - thanks
They work very well for my 3 Bedroom windows.easy to install.
I purchased two Indow window inserts for two west-facing bedroom windows. These windows are exposed to the hot afternoon sun, making it difficult to cool the bedroom, and there is considerable outside noise. The Indow inserts work great at reducing the outside noise and keeping my bedroom cooler. I absolutely recommend Indow window inserts.
Very professional from website to delivery and installation was well explained and easy. Noise reduction was quite noticeable and sealing from cold just as good if not better. Would recommend 100%.
Wonderful product
My husband and I can finally sleep all night without being woke up by outside noise! Indows are game changers if you live on a busy road, by a loud industrial business or just want a quieter inside environment. The customer service is pretty amazing too! Thanks Indow group for giving us back great sleep!!
fit perfect, weny in easyand make a diffrence with noise ,thank norbert
Easy DIY measuring, and an obvious immediate increase in warmth. Huge difference in a historic home with historic windows.
WE just took delivery of the two window inserts we ordered. they both fit perfectly. The most difficult part of the process was me trying to hold the laser measuring device still while taking the diaginal measurment! The Indow team was helpful and the ordering process was catch free. the finished product is just as they described. once installed, you can not even tell that they are there. I will warn you, if you have larger sizes they will come in a pretty large packing crate/box to protect them so be prepared. The only reason for 4 stars insted of 5 is they have just been istalled and we shall see how effective they are at reducing cold air, but they fit so snug that I anticipate they will be very effective. Just in time too, because our area is in a low temp/low wind chill pattern at the moment.
The Indow I ordered was a perfect fit. It looks great and is an extremely well made product. The ordering process was seamless.
Noise reduction by at least 50%! I cannot hear most car that drives by now. My bedroom is so quiet! Thank you!
Easy to order and install.
Window inserts help with sound since I live facing the street and the highway
This is a 5 star company from beginning to end. I purchased the I inserts in 2017 because the bedroom on the second story faced the street. These are very effective for street noise. Noticed a problem on one of the windows recently and they quickly took care of it due to their warranty. Customer service personnel are very helpful. The price of the windows was acceptable for top quality of sleep and less noise during the day
Recently purchased the acoustic window inserts for a couple of old windows facing a busy street and they've made a huge difference in terms of noise reduction! The measuring process was relatively easy with the laser measuring tool that Indow sent and the windows were delivered faster than expected. Martin was easy to work with and we would highly recommend Indow to those looking for window inserts.
