I have a 12 foot long by 7 inches wide window frame I would like to cover with veneer, what should I use?

This product is only 8' long and you have a 12' frame and would require a butt splice. Try to contact seller and see if you can get at least a 12' + length . Butt splice is ok but could be a problem. I used contact cement and follow their information to glue. Hope this Helios

Not really the ideal unit for those style of window. You'd most likey have to use a bit of wood and SECURE it above to fill in the space above the window. You also have to consider the width of the window. What I have done with most of my widow units is, to cut a peice of thick treated ply board and fill the entire window frame with it. Unfortunately you lose a window and gain an AC unit. We have jalousy (sp?) Window's, and they too aren't ideal for window units.

I suggest going to a place that specializes in Plexiglass and have a piece of that cut to fit the difference between where the window kit ends and the top of the slider. Go for a bit thicker than thinner so it doesn't bend easily, plus it will look nicer during the daylight hours than a solid item like wood... We have a Tap Plastics out here in Northern California - Good luck!

I suppose you could just wrap it as it is fairly stiff. However I placed mine in frames, which took no time to construct wrapped them in material and placed a professional and unobtrusive panel on the walls.

Sorry! I ended up not using it. It was much darker on my window than I expected and it was not the easiest to put on a 9 ft tall window. So I just gave up.

They say you can use any 2" x 2" wood but we used redwood and I'd recommend it. We even added reinforced braces in various places along the roof and in the corners (made it much more sturdy). Any covering goes over it quite easily (obviously the thicker the less likely to tear). Best way to put covering on is to use a large roll and roll from the ground over the top (on the sides). We used Solex. Love it! Its tough and easy to install. We have an amazing greenhouse for much cheaper than buying one of this quality outright.

There are no window plans with this kit. I installed 4 24"x24" windows but I had to adjust spacing to make them fit. You probably would have the least problems if you made a 10' x 32' .

you can use any 30-34 degree paper collated framing nails. Almost all if not all hardware stores will carry them lowes home depot amazon menards all carry them.

I think your window would need a bit of a lip on the inside for the hooks to hook on to. I had casement windows put in, but they left the old frame in, so I had a big lip on the bottom for it. You might try to call Kidde from their website and ask them.

I stapled it to a piece of wood on top that I also put loops of ribbon that I put over the curtain rod holders that my valance is on. I also put a smaller piece of wood on the bottom so it would spread out right at the bottom because my window was over 9' long.

You know I dont know, all i know is when I moved from San Antonio, the sun had totally destroyed it. However, here is a thought, you could probably just get some plastic sheeting form your local hardware store - home depot, lowes etc and make your own cover, the frame was still good for me. Good luck, hope it works.

For making curtain panels, we usually figure at least double the width of the window as a minimum for how wide to do the panels and up to 3 times the width of the window maximum. So if your window is 6 feet, we would suggest at least 12 feet (4 yards) of fabric and up to 18(6 yards)feet if you want to be generous.Hope that helps! -Decorative Things 212 686 9313

You can't can't tell all surfaces are covered with the veneer. If I were venture a guess I'ed have say particle board.

Flex Seal is perfect for that application, I used Flex Seal on aluminum framed windows with great success. Note that the outdoor temp must be above 60 degrees F and the surface must be dust free for maximum adhesion. Good luck with your project.

Honestly, if you want to get crafty, you can disconnect the shade and remove the ribbon surrounding the frame. Spray paint the frame a metallic silver and replace with white sheer ribbon from a craft store. That would look nice. It would look weird without the shade.

go to your local hardware store & look at the window trim section - i think the one I almost bought (decided it looked better just sticky tacked to the wall) was like 70 cents per foot (about 12 bucks)
