NDR need your help with calculations and Mathematics

Guys, I am ok at photography and writing stories, but i royally suck at mathematics and Geometry. I figured that a bunch of boat builders would be pretty skilled at this sort of thing so I am asking for your help.

I am in So or for the last 9 months watching over my elderly mother, and she lives in my boyhood home still. The windows are 55 years old aluminum framed and rattle pretty good when the wind blows, we are losing a lot of heat and I want to put some inside transparent film between the curtains and the glass.

The wooden frames around the windows are 74 by 38 inches. nobody makes this sized films ready to go.

I thought about getting somethat i could overlap to fit perfectly somehow in the 74/38 config using multiple smaller window films, so that i wouldn't have to attach the adhesive velcro strpping to the wallpaper on the walls next to the window frame. Here are my choices : I do not want to stick the velcrow adhesive to the interior wallpapered walls in the house, but I. can stick them anywhere i want on the window frame.

Options for window fittings. choices and measurements: How would you figure this?

Thanks you for any and all assistance.



On a waterfowl related note, that bomb cyclone has moved More geese into the Rogue valley than I have ever seen in 55 Years combined.
 
Out here there is a local community-based non profit that does inserts out of pine and plastic film. You may be able to contact them for their training materials or designs. Local volunteers get trained to measure windows and crank out the inserts. They for free or low cost to low-income folks, and selling them at market rate to those who can afford them helps subsidize the materials costs. Good program. https://windowdressers.org/

Don't over think it. Just purchase a bulk roll of self adhesive hook and loop tape, and a bulk roll of window film. Cut and apply the hook and loop tape to the frames. Apply the window film to the previously applied hook and loop, trim as required.

Each 74 by 38 frame will require 18'8" of hook-n-loop tape, or just figure 20 foot per frame. One inch by 30 foot rolls are quite common. Two rolls will net you 60 feet of hook-n-loop, enough for three frames. https://www.amazon.com/Strips-Adhes...p_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9zZWFyY2hfdGhlbWF0aWM

Window film just a couple available options;
(A) frost king 62" X 25' film = nets enough material for 3 windows https://www.amazon.com/Thermwell-V8425-Shrink-Wind-Window/dp/B000L9OKCY/ref=sr_1_7?sr=8-7

(B) thermwell 84" X 25' film = nets enough material for 7 windows https://www.amazon.com/Thermwell-V8425-Shrink-Wind-Window/dp/B000AXXD7O/ref=sr_1_7?sr=8-7

I'm sure there are many more options in which you can cut to fit your exact size window frames.
