I did use some window film on a problem window.
It's been too long for me to remember the brand, but it is metalized and also transparent. As I recall it came in grades of 20% and 40%, 60%, etc.
I bought it as a solution to excessive heat gain during the summer, and it works quite well, and also gives me a measure of privacy.
I hadn't thought of using it as a heat-loss preventer.
I would think that you would want to apply it to the inside of the glass.
I did purchase a double low-E, argon-filled window for my bathroom, against all warnings from my friendly Lowe's representative.
It works very well, much better than my friendly Lowe's representative.
