Wondering how many to put on each window, how close together? We have fairly large windows in the front of our house & lots of them!

You have to use your own judgment for your situation. I have them quite a distance apart - three or four on my sliding glass doors. You can judge by the places that show evidence that a bird has flown into the window.

On the large window (4'X5') we used 2 hawk decals and 2 maple leaf decals spacing them about 9 inches apart. On a smaller window we used 2 maple leaf decals and placed those about 8 inches apart. Combining the larger decals with the smaller decals works well for larger windows and we have them covering an area of the window leaving a perimeter of about 9 inches or so all the way around. I am happy to say they are working well. No more bird strikes.

I've found that I need at least 5 on a large window...spaced randomly, maybe 2 feet apart. Even then, we occasionally get a bird that doesn't see them! So, I guess a good rule of thumb would be the more the better!

Two or three on each window should do it. I would cluster them pretty close together in the area where birds most often hit you windows. Our seem to have helped; fewer bird strikes.

I put one per window pane. If the window is bigger, like the size of a door, I use the big hawk-like decals that are bigger than the maple leaf. The good thing about these is they also keep people from walking through the door/window :-)

I asked the owner of my local Wild Birds Unlimited store. He said about 2'. And as M.A.Weiss answered below: look for the evidence on your window. That really helped me decide.

Quoting from the instructions on the back of the package: "concentrate decals at center and then work out, placing decals every few feet of glass." The instructions also say that the decals should be replaced every 6-9 months, although I am sure I had my first set much longer than that and they still appeared to work. I put my decals about a 1 1/2 - 2 feet apart.

I think birds have a preference for certain spots on the window ... I tried to put a few around those areas where I get a hit. Also my window is somewhat large, ~6' by 5' approx each section, so I used about 6-8 per section.

Two would probably be enough but I don't know the configuration of your home. I could have gotten away with two but went with three and do not regret it. If I was to do it all over again I would have ordered these a lot faster. We love them and they do work for allergies really well.

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 actually cut it into 3 pieces. Then I applied one piece at a time being very careful to line them up exactly! Make sureyou do it when you have no interruptions such as little kids running around or you might become extremely frustrated! I've has mine up for almost a year and it is still amazing. Good luck! :)

How big is the total area? I have a 10-12' window, opens on each side. I put alarm in the middle and banged on the side window, didn't do anything, so I hit it harder and it went off. Was scared to keep hitting the glass but if window was smash it would make the alarm go off. We have to turn the alarms off in big wind storms cause they will go off from wind/gusts. Only have had to turn them off 1 time from wind. Alarms are loud.

They're not super sturdy so two is probably best. In use them more for child proofing than security so one could conceivably work but two seems best. Also don't know about your particular window but I have wooden frames double windows (with the old jnternal rope and counter weights) and they work fine. They just screw into the frame itself and when open are flush enough to allow plenty of room to fully open the window.

Only 4. I find that 4 will not cover the window sufficiently unless you have a very small window.

Four. You can keep them attached and wrap around for openings in the front for bad weather. But it does protect well if you are needing to "lock up" for the day.

I put mine in a 32" window. It would really be stretching the accordion-fold side panels to make it to 39." However, I have used paneling or thin plywood and and made effective side panels.

They will work wonderfully and you'll love the finished look. Anchor them well, preferably in the wall studs. I'm estimating that two will do the job, as evenly spaced as possible.

I covered two windows that were 27 X 54 with one can. Had to do a bit of respraying to hit light areas after drying - maybe 5 percent of the total area. It's hard to be certain, but I'm guessing I have 20 to 30 percent left in the can. I'm betting you could make it with one can.

Not sure how big your windows are. Was able to cover a sunroof approx 36 inch by 28 inch. With some left over.

Hello, Thank you for contacting us. The windows are 30mil thick. Please let us know if you have any more questions. Thank you

I am using one per window on double hung wooden windows from 1915. There are basic instructions but it's obvious how to install when you have it in hand.

I don't think that it would be too many..I have six strands wrapped around a grapevine which meanders up and around my front door and down both side light windows on either side of the door. The area is about six feet wide and about 10 feet of grapevine on either side of the side windows. It is a nice welcoming light at night. It is protected by a covered front porch. The lights themselves are bright but small bulbs. You might start with one strand and see if it is enough for your small tree. Hope this helps.

I've just talked to my neighbor, they did their windows after they saw mine. They made the mistake of putting up the portion that is meant to be discarded. Be sure to read instruction carefully. I think that is why people have failure to cling to windows.

I used this for 2 bathroom windows. I would suggest buying 2 if you have the 2 doors to do. Better to have more. Plus you may have to do more then one coat depending on your preference of privacy.
