Cover a big expanse of glass
I have a wall of glass - about 12' wide, 8' ceilings, patio door in the middle of 2 fixed pieces of glass. Corner fireplace is a foot from one end and there is about 5' of wall on the other. I would like to keep this uncovered, but for energy efficiency I need to cover it, especially in the winter. So I will need some insulating qualities in my covering. I would like a one way draw to the 5' wall so as much glass as possible can be exposed when I want to see the view. Any ideas - informal and easy???

I would install a radiant film over the glass. But before you go that route, you need to determine if the glass is low E or not. putting a reflective film over a Low E glass will negate the advantages of this. To determine if you have low E glass, at night take a match or a lighter and place it next to the glass. If its low E you should see three flames in the reflection with the center reflection being a different color then the outside two reflections. If you do not see this, use the reflective film. This is the brand the guy I use provides and my clients have had great success with it. http://www.enerlogicfilm.com/en/IntroducingEnerlogic.aspx Remember these films are not created equal. Some only reflect out, this product reflects both inside heat back in and outside heat back out.
