ᐅ Covering the bottom-hinged window (ventilation panel) – what solutions are recommended?

Hello,
After doing some research, we are still completely unsure about what to do with our large room windows, which consist of two parts (top: a tilt-and-turn/awning window - bottom: a fixed window [= in the photos, the lawn can be seen through it]).

Our goal is to prevent a direct view from outside into the rooms and, ideally, also to reduce heat entering.
For this reason, we have already installed a pleated blind on the top window (simple because, with a tilt-and-turn window frame, the blind can be clamped at the top and bottom with mounting brackets).

Unfortunately, this is not possible with the lower fixed window. First, nothing can be clamped since it does not open. Second, the window frame on the inside at the glazing bead, where the silicone seal starts, is only 1 cm (0.4 inches) deep. So, a pleated blind with so-called tension rods cannot be mounted on the glazing bead either (it needs to be at least 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) deep).
As a temporary solution, we bought a rather unattractive window film with suction cups, but it keeps falling off (as shown in the photo below).

I wanted to ask if anyone has ideas on how we can solve the problem regarding privacy (and preferably heat reduction) now. Maybe someone has faced a similar challenge. Or what have you done with your fixed windows?

I appreciate any advice!

Frosted glass film? The type that you apply with water? I once used it on a fixed glass panel to place my desk in front of it.

I have a pleated blind as a privacy screen in my bathroom, which is installed within the window recess. The blind can be moved to any desired position:

or fully extended (the very top part is still missing here)

I used the traditional method: Grandma’s curtain rod, where small hooks were previously drilled into the wooden frames to attach the curtain rod. I have PVC windows, so I used adhesive hooks accordingly. It looks terrible (tasteless) when selecting, buying, and sticking them on, but with the rod and curtain, it looks good. Except that I don’t have a proper, nice curtain yet, more of a temporary solution. I don’t know what the type of curtain is called that can be installed halfway up the window.

- Frosted window film (available with sun protection options)
- Reflective film
- Pleated blinds covering the entire width of the window opening
- Curtains

This is not really a challenge; there are plenty of options. What kind of room is it? How much sun protection is needed? How much privacy screening is necessary and for what reasons?

There are also pleated blinds available with adhesive backing.
