The Art of Bird Protection
Why Bird Protection Glass?
Bird protection glass is becoming increasingly important in modern architecture. Unfortunately, songbirds in particular do not recognize the dangers posed to them by transparent and reflective glass surfaces. Green plants behind large panes of glass, trees and shrubs that are reflected by facades or the sunlight shining through a glass balustrade are not perceived as an imminent danger, but as part of their natural habitat. Bird protection glass such as Finnglass Lintu-Laser™ and LaserBird effectively prevent collisions. How? Patterns like dots, squares or other designs, that are visible to birds, are applied onto the glass surface in a certain size and at certain intervals.
Keeping Birds Safe Dot by Dot
What makes Lintu-Laser™ glass so very special? The patterns are applied in a laser ablation process. Meaning, they are not screen printed, but are created by lasering ultra-fine structures into the glass surface, adding an aesthetic appeal to modern buildings. To achieve the best bird protection the laser pattern is applied to surface 1. Currently three standard patterns are available. Customized designs are available on request.
Quality Tests, Standards and Certificates
Finnglass Lintu-Laser™ bird-friendly glasses meet all relevant standards.
