Bird collisions with glass are a growing environmental concern, affecting avian
populations and posing a conservation challenge. From our innovative Bird Guard
Glass, with industry-first laser enamel printing technology, to laser, digital printing
and UV glass, we fabricate a variety of proven solutions to reduce bird collisions.
A Clear Commitment, Clear Vision
Bird Guard Glass is an innovative bird-friendly glazing solution that protects birds while maintaining design integrity. Unlike many other bird friendly alternatives, Bird Guard uses cutting-edge laser technology to deposit ceramic enamel onto the first glass surface to achieve desired threat factors through the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) while maintaining exceptional translucence.
Bird friendly glass can be combined with low-E coatings, fabricated into IG units and laminated
to help meet performance requirements. Bird friendly solutions also support qualification for LEED® Innovation credits
for Bird Collision Deterrence.
Bird Guard Glass has been rigorously independently tested and is officially listed by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) for its effectiveness in reducing bird collisions. Our patterns are applied on the first surface using the first manufacturing technology of its kind in North America, setting a new standard for bird-friendly glass.
