Keep your new window inserts as clear and scratch-free as possible allowing you to enjoy an unobstructed view 24-7.
Indow Window inserts are made from acrylic sheets and if not cared for properly, will scratch or cloud.
- For non-greasy dirt or dust, spraying with water and then wiping with a microfiber cloth will often work best (we do not recommend dry dusting).
- To clean greasy stains, use a soft, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth, such as a microfiber towel, and a mild, ammonia and alcohol free cleaner such as diluted dish soap to clean your Indow inserts.
- We recommend a diluted mixture of all-purpose castile soap. Suggested ratio: 1/2 tsp. to 16oz of distilled water. Do not use any ammonia, alcohol, or bleach-based cleaners such as Windex, Clorox or 409.
- Do not use lemon juice or vinegar.
- Do not use paper towels, newspapers or rough cloths. Use only microfiber cleaning cloths.
Scratch Repair
In some cases, it may be possible to lessen the appearance of scratches by using a plastic polish such as Novus 2 or 3, which can be found at most major hardware stores. Be careful to follow the manufacturer’s directions as the incorrect use may damage your Indow insert.
Storage
Many Indow inserts can be left in place year round with the occasional removal for cleaning. If you wish to remove at any point, remember that proper storage is recommended to avoid scratches. We recommend either purchasing or making a sleeve in which the insert can be placed. If making your own, remember to avoid abrasive materials and go with something soft and that can easily be secured to avoid any debris from entering. To store, lay them flat on the floor with the largest on the bottom and no more than 3 high to prevent bowing or warping. They can also be stored vertically against each other with a protective barrier between each insert to prevent scratching.
Warranty
Doing business as Indow (“Indow”) provides this Limited Residential Warranty to purchasers who use the product in a non-commercial property, not used for income-generating purposes (our Limited Commercial Warranty maybe viewed at http://go.indowwindows.com/ commercial_warranty). Indow warrants its window inserts against defects of materials or workmanship as long as the purchaser continuously occupies the property for which the window insert was purchased.
This warranty is not transferable.
Exclusions
This warranty does not apply to any Indow window insert which has been subject to accident, acts of God, re, flood, abuse or misuse, abuse by harmful fumes, vapors, solvents, chemicals or chemical pollutants in the atmosphere, mold, building settlement or structural failures of walls or foundations. We do not warrant our glazing against scratching or breakage which can occur if improperly handled. This warranty does not apply to any Indow window insert that has been subject to operating temperatures exceeding 160 degrees Fahrenheit. We do not warrant our acrylic glazing against clouding, yellowing or loss of light transmission caused by dirt, scratching, breakage, or improper cleaning with ammonia or bleach based cleaners.
Glazing and Tubing
Indow uses only the highest quality materials in the manufacture of our products. Indow warrants its clear acrylic glazing against a change in light transmission in excess of 3%. This does not cover certain specialty grades that are not clear to start with (including Blackout, Sleep Panels, Privacy and Shade Grades), nor clear acrylic glazing exposed to artificial light sources emittng intense amounts of UVB or higher energy radiation. The Indow compression tubing is made of silicone which resists the effects of heat, cold and ultraviolet exposure.
Condensation
Condensation is not a product defect, but the result of excess humidity. Condensation, frost, or mold, mildew, or fungus on window surfaces is not covered by the Limited Warranty. Indow bears no responsibility or liability for any situation where molds or other associated conditions arise as a result of improper use, cleaning, sealing, humidication or ventilation.
Venting
Indow does not warrant its window inserts against venting excess air pressure. It is part of an Indow window insert’s normal function to occasionally relieve excess air pressure by ‘popping’ a corner or side in response to heavy external winds combined with extreme temperatures or a blower door test. Simply press the window insert back into place to restore normal function.
Window Opening Control Devices
Window Opening Control Devices (WOCDs) are not a substitute for careful supervision of children. WOCDs must be tested at least monthly. Follow all safety information and instructions provided with WOCDs.

Warranty repair or replacement of the Indow window insert is free of charge to you.
