  6. 1. I'm considering getting one-way mirror film for my home windows and sliding patio door.

But, yeah it's a never ending replacement product that's really too expensive to start with.

    One good compromise is to let the light in, with a normal window, but have a canopy that can extend far enough to block the sun most of the time. This you adjust for time of year. You likely will still want solar heating on March 22 (spring equinox) but not want it on September 22 (fall equinox -- same solar path)
