Bird-friendly solutions to help minimze
collisions with glass.
City growth and urban sprawl are expanding at such rates that bird strikes have become the second-largest human-induced threat to birds worldwide. With more than 1 BILLION avian deaths due to window collisions, numerous local and migratory bird species are experiencing an increasing toll of fatalities in high-growth building environments.
Specialized applications of bird-sensitive window film can help mitigate unnecessary impacts. By helping the birds to "see" the glass, exterior applied films provide a clear view for you, while preserving avian life and enhancing your connection with the natural world.
If your home, office or retail space is having problems with bird strikes, reach out to us today to learn more about our avian safety films, and help protect local and migratory birds.
"Glass on lower levels and on lower-rise buildings and homes, especially when it reflects vegetation, takes a greater overall toll."
Melissa Breyer National Audubon Society
Relationship between birds and windows.
Birds cannot see glass. They see a reflection of their habitat (trees, bushes, water, sky) in windows or in the reflective exteriors on office towers and other structures, but they cannot see the glass. From a bird’s perspective, glass is an invisible barrier to their habitat.
With an application of bird safety films, you can see a drastic reducation in strikes on your home, office or institutional space.
→ ALL films help the birds SEE the glass. Either with the use of special UV levels, or with a dense, repeating pattern.
→ ALL the films are applied to the OUTSIDE of your windows. Traditional blinds, shades or drapes do not help block the reflectivity of the glass and will not stop strikes.
BIRDSHADES®
How Does BirdShades™ Clear UV work?
Invisible To You, But Lifesaving For The Birds.
Founded by a team of dedicated biologists and material scientists, BirdShades was developed in Europe using the latest UV technology to ensure the coexistence of architecture standards and bird health. The UV areas are banded, completely colorless and invisible to the human eye, but clearly delineating the glazed surface for avian flight. This bird safety window film product is preferred by discriminating architects, designers and homeowners who want a seamless installation with no impact to line-of-site.
BIRD DIVERT®
How Does Bird Divert™ Clear UV work?
Birds See UV light, Humans Can’t.
Bird Divert® uses ultraviolet (UV) reflective technology that takes advantage of most birds’ ability to see in the UV spectrum, a capability humans lack. The dot pattern is designed to reflect UV wavelengths in a repeating pattern birds recognize as a barrier. The UV dots are virtually clear and almost undetectable to the human eye.
SOLYX®
How Does SOLYX® Safety Bird Film Work?
Help Birds SEE The Glass.
Patterns that break-up the reflectivity of a glass surface is an alternative solution for high-impact areas. Birds will continue to attempt to fly through spaces that are as large (or larger) than their body width. By using a variety of repeating, dense patterns in a minimum of 2", you can help ensure the safety of local and migratory birds. This collection of safety bird films are visible to BOTH humans and birds.
