Nyarlah Well......skin cancer due to UV radiation then yes, blocking the sun will help prevent skin cancer. Skin cancer from smoking tobacco, well, then the sun has nothing to do with it. Why do you think people use “sunblock” when they go out into the sun?............ UV radiation is something that shouldn’t be underestimated and the OP’s advice against “damaged instruments” in a home/studio setting pertains to UV damage. You know, from the sun. Which is a very plausible thing (especially when it comes to artwork and documents you want to keep in archival condition). Many framed documents are put into frames with UV blocking panes and they do a great job at eliminating UV damage to the object. Your analogy doesn’t make any sense.
Indow is insane with their prices. I wanted an insert for ONE window in my apartment. The window in 5' x 5', 7", Indow wanted to charge me $1,650.00!! I couldn't believe that they gave me that price with a straight face!!
Did you get around to making a second video, demoing before using the insert, then after, and measuring dB reduction? I couldn't find it. Thanks. Helpful video!
It's not just you. I think he just kept on going Youtubing away and never looked back! lol I only watched this vid of his but holy moly I've never seen anyone so prolific with the Tube like this. I wonder which pays more, a million views on just one video, or a million views over dozens of videos over so many months. Very professional and as a photographer myself, his experience really shows.

Nice, nice. I'd maximize that air pocket though - place that puppy further out in the frame (3'' to 6'' from the glass) and it's going to work a lot better than proximity to the window that you're showing in this video. I might be biased though, I do work for Indow :)
A couple of things. 1 did I notice in lower right an edge like a tri angle that wasn't fully up against the wall? why? Did you say you had single or double pane windows before? You mentioned both got confused. Do you know who Indow's competition is? who? and does anyone beat them in price and how is their quality? I'm on a fixed income so Indow is a bit expensive from my understanding. So I know I have 7 windows. Since the 3 in living room even though one assembly next to each other count as 3 correct? Not just 1 for the space they cover? two are adjoined in my bedroom and 2 in my den next to living room 3. Before asking rest I want to see your db ratings if you've done them. Another video showed about glazing have to do more about soundproof than 2 vs 3 panes. I noticed only a 5 db level deifference btw 2 and 3 shocked me.
Second followup: Did you get around to making a second video, demoing before using the insert, then after, and measuring dB reduction? I couldn't find it. Thanks. Helpful video!
I just got a quote form Indow and they were charging me $3,000 for two 72x96 windows. That’s practically paying for 3 impact windows. You gotta be stupid to pay those insane prices. Especially when you’re renting. No thanks, I’ll stick it out for the remaining year. Yeah bud, you mentioned they were low cost. Maury Povich said... That’s a lie!!!!
Considering the total window area you have is well over 3x his window, plus increased packaging/shipping cost of two oversized items, sounds about right.
do you think this stuff will work for Traffic noise ? I Have a Serious issue (My Studio is upstairs and the Road is a Main road so a LOT of cars all day and night) I Do not live in a Major city or nothing like that,but i do live in a pretty decent sized town and all i hear is Car subwoofers,idiots flooring it in their trucks,noisy engines,semi trucks etc.etc. usually early in the morning,at around noon daily,and at around 3-5pm when people are leaving work,etc. I Cannot physically alter my bedroom/or studio windows in the house,my windows are older wooden and glass windows also ! I NEED SOMETHING that i can use that will both reduce or completely block out outside noise that also will not alter the windows in any way. (as in permanently)
kind of makes me want to take the 20 minute drive from home to their business to ask them questions and see everything in person. if it's as good as anything, then there's gotta be something similar for apartment dwellers where you can temporarily set something up in front of your door to prevent further noise leakage.
We'd love to talk to you about our process! We don't really recommend inserts for doors, though, the frames are usually not ideal. Unless the door isn't actively being used...then we can talk! indowwindows.com/about-indow/contact/
Set your cab and amp up outside and play your guitar so you don’t need someone else to make a bunch of noise. Set up a camera to so you can record the DB meter.
Couldn't tell from the video, but is there any way to open it? Say it's a nice day and you're just browsing the computer or jamming in the studio, any chance to get some fresh air?
I would highly doubt it. Soundproofing is all about sealing air off. I'm sure you can take it off, but there would be a point where you would wear out the seal.
One question. Did that company ship it by semi truck FedEx freight or just the standard shipping van box truck? By looking at that pallet you pushed it's shipping by semi freight.
Just got mines today for two windows. One of them fits extra extra tight and the other doesn’t fit. Even after laser measure. Kind of disappointed. Even the tight fitting window the noise difference is marginal. Will call them to find out where to go from here
Hopefully u watch some of the install videos... u have gaps in corners which screws u for sound dampening. They work because of the air gap between them and the org windows. U have deep windows! Pull the insert back 4in. It will be even better!
Great video, Fluff. I'm having terrible issues with outside noise. I live in Los Angeles and there is almost no relief from the noise pollution. I'm looking at the indow website now.... oh, what's that? ... ah! just another helicopter flying over my building.
Hey, Fluff, two things: Firstly, why'd you push the crate? It was already on skids, so it can just be lifted with a fork lift! /sarcasm (though I'd bet some furniture dollies would have come in handy! I'm surprised you don't have a set for rearranging amps and cabinets) Also, remember that 50% volume level is only 3dB! It is not a linear scale. A lot of people forget that. 85dB outside would not be 42.5dB inside, reduced to half. It would be 82dB.
Looks good, I was expecting a giant piece of foam, me and my buddy have to shove insolation board into his windows and door jams to keep down our noise during practice
$700 for a pane of glass with some sort of foam rubber around it !!!!!! Yikes. Good idea though. I think ill go have some glass panes made and put some foam around them and put them over my windows. Has to be much cheaper. Good idea though
Sure. "Get a piece of glass" the right size. Double strength, or tempered now. Find "some sort of foam rubber" to attach to the glass. lol. Yes, look into this, sounds good......
@@216trixie . Its not hard to do or expensive. Order a window sash from a window company. A sash can be ordered to the 1/8th inch. Also, a sash could be ordered with many typs of glass. Single pane, double or triple pane, argon gas insulated, many types of coatings for light filtering. Most options could be added without great differences in price. An average size window would cost around $70. Be resourceful and find a place to aquire some foam. $700 is alot for one window. Let alone several. Most people that are trying to use a spare room in their home are not in a position to spend that amount of money on one aspect of recording. Hopefully this insight is helpful to people with alot of noise traveling in or out of windows and not alot of extra cash
I guess...but for $75 I built an insert out of 2x4's and plywood, with an airspace and deflection and absorption stuff on it. No self respecting guitar player plays in the daylight anyway so a window on a studio really makes no sense.
@@TheDogPa lol. That is funny. It did really suprise me when he aaid the panel is in the window. I was really expecting him to pull out a big block of foam, shaped like a window.
You can remove the insert and re-install it pretty easily. There's also an option to install a short chain that allows you to pop out the top of the insert to open your window without removing the whole thing.
Yeah, it sounds kind of harmless, but it can be WAY annoying when done a lot. I think some cities would have regulations, but people really should regulate their own behaviors. Not sure when that will happen.
I had two windows removed and new double pane glass installed and including frames, installation etc it was cheaper than this insert. I'd probably just go with the new window if I was the owner. Good for renters I guess but you should talk to your landlord, they'd probably cover some of the cost of you wanted to go new windows.
that's correct. although, you can remove it if you want to open your window. there are more expensive products/brands that are permanently installed that allow for both layers of windows to be opened. $$$$
So ur telling me that some1 besides guys n gals making music is actually making noise to the point that the musicans think its too loud. Thats just cooler n hell. Lol The new saying is ,, Great window inserts make great neighbors.
And now you can't open your window. But I heard the "dead silent" on the video (from an initially sound-mixing channel), it's cheaper than replacing many windows (duh ?), and the company cares about greener houses and climate change (with acrylic and silicone).
They are super easy to remove and don't need any mounting equipment that will hurt your window frame. That's why they're a great solution for apartments.
what if he took a portable mic and just went to the stadium and watched a game with it in his hand then added tons of reverb and ambience to the guitar vocals etc and actually "faked" a live show mix (yeah I know I think too much about everything but still :)

Based on the price calculator, their window inserts are on par with brand new double pane vinyls windows from milgard. crazy.
3:47 how well can it possibly insulate with that gap? I'm assuming every corner is like that?
There should be no gaps. He rushed the install like a noob... watch an install video and they tell u how to avoid that.

Been a long time, agree, question though, wondering if the Indow inserts do something different in respect of the reflection. Have you noticed ?
Nice, nice. I'd maximize that air pocket though - place that puppy further out in the frame (3'' to 6'' from the glass) and it's going to work a lot better than proximity to the window that you're showing in this video. I might be biased though, I do work for Indow :)
