Window inserts

Does anyone have experience with interior window inserts (like “indows”) and can someone recommend a contractor, again experienced, who can measure and install them? I am tired of taping up plastic every year.

Hey! My sister [had windows installed in her house](http://www.clerawindows.com/windows) in Ottawa. She loves them because it is easier to use and whenever she wants to catch fresh breeze, she can easily pop her windows out. It also reduces street noises. Its looks really great!

Bought them this past winter for our about half the windows in our historic Victorian – what a difference! This year we will order for the rest of the windows. I’m talking about the authentic Indow windows. Local rep is Jon Hunt (jhunt@altairenergyservices.com). He will come out and laser measure then return to install. Even better, they’re not noticeable from the exterior so they don’t change the integrity of the look and no one has really noticed them internally either they blend in so well. Message me if you want more info or photos.

we don’t have indows yet, but we just ordered one to try it out. they send you a measuring kit with a laser tool so you do measuring yourself and they validate the results. the indows will just pop in and don’t require an installer. great company to work with (so far!)

Someone posted here that they have “indows” and like them. My brother had something similar installed in his house in the UK where most older homes have historic but drafty single-glazed windows. He loves them both for heat retention and street noise reduction. Oh, and they look good too!

http://www.indowwindows.com/ These guys will send you a laser-measure to measure out your windows. They don’t have any installers here in NYC, but it’s something you can do yourself as long as you are careful when you take the measurements. I think it’s $20/sq ft or so. Pretty good value if you consider what it would cost you to replace the windows.
