You could also just compute the perimeter of a rectangular window (twice the width plus twice the height) and realize that, with radiused corners, you'll end up with a little extra. (Specifically, I figure it should be (8-2pi)r extra...or about five extra inches if you have 3" radiusing. I guess you could also be a hero and compute the exact perimeter, but personally I'd prefer to overestimate slightly and have to trim a bit off than to end up with slightly too little.)
