Bird Guard Glass, A Clear Commitment, Clear Vision

Dallas, Texas – (May 21, 2025)

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope® (OBE), a leading manufacturer of architectural glass and glazing solutions, proudly introduces Bird Guard Glass, an industry-leading bird-friendly glass designed to reduce bird collisions while maintaining architectural clarity, daylighting, and performance.


Bird collisions with glass are a growing environmental concern, impacting millions of birds each year. Bird Guard Glass provides a scientifically tested, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) listed solution, utilizing first surface laser-enamel printing—a durable, maintenance-free technology that ensures birds can see the glass while preserving unobstructed views for building occupants.

  • First Surface Laser-Enamel Printing – A permanent, maintenance-free solution for bird collision prevention.
  • Tested Performance – Officially listed by the American Bird Conservancy for its effectiveness.
  • Sustainability & Compliance – Supports LEED certification and meets key bird-safe building codes.
  • Flexible Design Options – Available in dot and square patterns, designed to meet both aesthetic and bird-safety needs.
