Bird Guard Glass
Bird Guard Glass – A Clear Commitment, Clear Vision
An innovative bird-friendly solution that protects birds while maintaining design integrity. Featuring advanced first surface laser-enamel printing, Bird Guard Glass ensures long-lasting visibility to birds without sacrificing transparency or aesthetics.
Key Benefits:
- Bird-safe design helps prevent bird collisions while preserving the architectural vision.
- First surface laser-enamel printing provides durable, high-contrast patterns for bird visibility, offering long-term durability and UV resistance.
- Bird Guard Glass is engineered for precision and ease of installation. Our dot pattern can be consistently aligned floor-to-floor, thanks to a strategically placed tempered logo in either corner of each lite. This gives glaziers a clear visual reference point, simplifying alignment and reducing installation time without compromising the architectural vision.
- Paired with high-performance Low-E coatings, Bird Guard Glass enhances energy efficiency while seamlessly meeting bird-friendly building standards. It helps project teams meet sustainability benchmarks, enhance energy efficiency, and qualify for LEED® certification.
- Flexible design integration, available in dot and square patterns, designed to meet both aesthetic and bird-safety needs.
- Threat-tested by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), verified for effective bird collision deterrence.
