Safe Glass, Safe Birds.
With the increased use of glass in architecture, guidelines and building
codes are being established to make glass bird-safe. To support this, many building owners and occupants are doing their part to save birds by using solutions to make glass more visible to birds.
We can prevent birds from flying to exterior glazing by applying patterns to the exterior surface to create a visual contrast, so birds can detect the surface of the building as a solid object - and avoid it! These visual markers are designed to either have an intentional decorative element to emphasize
the architectural design and reduce solar transmission, or a minimal pattern that can still be detected by birds while allowing for maximum daylight into the interior environment.
Yalodomi’s Bird Friendly glass designs are all compliant with CSA guidelines, covering bird-friendly building design in both new construction and existing buildings, and are intended to reduce bird collisions with buildings. Architects and designers able to select patterns that perform three functions: protect birds, provide tasteful designs for humans, and provide solar benefits.
Optimal Design for Birds and Energy Efficiency
Bird friendly glass combines ceramic printed visual markers on the 1st surface of the glass with a choice of high-performance solar low-e coatings . Choosing between high visibility and low visibility patterns, designers are also able to use Bird-Friendly designs as a form of solar control.
The result: the market’s most effective bird friendly and energy-efficient glass solution. This innovation enables architects and building owners alike to achieve their environmental goals and earn LEED® credits – maybe more than you thought possible.
For applications that do not require a low-e coating on surface 2, you may prefer our classic bird friendly glass options.
