BIRD FRIENDLY GLASS
Bird-friendly glass is an essential solution for preventing bird collisions and protecting avian populations. Our glass features solid markers, typically 5mm in size, spaced between 50mm and 100mm apart. These markers are designed to reduce glass reflectivity and prevent birds from flying into windows railings, or glass walls. The markers can be customized into various patterns, such as dots, lines, logos, or complex designs, all while adhering to bird-safe glass guidelines. This adaptability ensures compliance with local regulations, which may vary between municipal and non-municipal buildings across Canada. Protect wildlife and meet your building’s needs with our bird-friendly glass options, specifically tailored to local standards.
Bird Friendly Glass for Commercial Buildings
Bird collisions with glass are a significant concern in Ontario, and many municipalities now encourage or require bird friendly design on new buildings. Bird friendly glass uses a visible pattern on the glass surface so birds recognise it as a barrier. BG Glass Technologies produces bird friendly glass with durable ceramic frit patterns fused into the glass during tempering.
Where Bird Friendly Glass Is Used
Typical applications include curtain walls, storefronts, glass railings, balconies, canopies, transit shelters and glazing near green space or water. Fritted panels can also be laminated for safety glazing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does bird friendly glass affect the view?
Patterns are designed to be visible to birds while preserving views for occupants. Our team can help you review pattern options against your project guidelines.
Is fritted bird friendly glass permanent?
Yes. Ceramic frit is fired into the glass and will not peel like applied films.
