From what I'm understanding though through this website, I can't have both things I want. I have to choose either privacy OR heat control. One thing to keep in mind is some window manufacturers will void your warranty for applying films to your glass. So make sure and check with the manufacturer before applying any films!

Yeah you could look at using tiles though it is probably going to be heavier than it needs to be because the tiles are designed with sub structure and to be walked on.
I would look at Ipe wood per sqr foot compared to tiles to see if you are really saving money. They look to combine aesthetics and beauty with functionality. The primary reason why we opt for window coverings is to safeguard privacy inside the home and light control. Your home is your sacred sanctuary where you can feel safe and comfortable. Window shades help to seal off your interiors from the eyes of intruders or even harmless curious neighbors.
Light control is another major consideration. Unfiltered natural light contains harmful UV rays and too much glare that can cause irritation to the eyes. UV rays can cause health hazards and also damage your furnishings. Diffusing natural light will help you to enjoy the benefits of sunlight sans the harmful effects.
There is also another consideration that most of us will agree to and that is the need for an outside view. Once you are inside your house you are cut off from the outside world and the windows are the only means of connecting with your surroundings. If you have a beautiful view to behold, or you have a pretty manicured lawn or porch, or your house gets treated to an amazing sunset or sunrise, you would want to preserve that view. While privacy is extremely valuable you would not want to cut yourself off from all the prettiness around you.
And finding that balance between privacy and view is what makes choosing a window treatment a challenging and rather daunting task. A window shade that will allow you to enjoy the view outside will mean that it has a certain degree of openness and transparency which will jeopardize your privacy. So what is the solution? Can privacy and an outside view even go hand in hand? See-through during the daytime with ease with our affordable and reliable custom-made solar shades.

The lesser the level of openness greater will be your privacy and light control. Higher openness implies lesser privacy and more diffused light and of course better view of the outside. When a light is on in the room, people outside will be able to see directly into your home. While a solar shade provides privacy during the day, it will provide no privacy at night.
The reason for this is the weave of the shade determines the openness of the shade, which in turn effects the visibility, privacy and light control of the shade material. The higher the number, the more open the weave, creating a loose sheer-like fabric allowing the most light to pass through and the clearest view to the outside. The tighter the weave, the less light and visibility, and the more UV, heat and glare control. There are a lot of factors that go into choosing the right percentage for your shade.
One important factor is the direction your windows face. The color of the shade can also affect how the shade functions. For example, lighter colors provide more privacy than darker colors, this also means your view to the outside is less with a lighter shade. But, one fact remains, you will not have privacy at night as the exact opposite is true.
The amount of visibility you have during the day is the amount someone outside your home will have into your home at night. So, what if you want daytime views and privacy at night? The good news is there are other window treatments that offer both!
