Benefits of BirdWise™ for Glass Processors

Surface #1 application

The pattern is applied to surface #1, regardless of the glass type or the position of any Low-E coating, offering maximum flexibility in glass selection.

Customer responsiveness

Coating can be stocked and applied at any facility. Glass is coated on demand, eliminating the need to procure or inventory bird-friendly glass, and ensuring fast response times without dependency on glass delivery lead times.

Zero glass waste

No waste or offcuts of costly bird-friendly glass, as the coating is applied to cut-to size glass, optimizing material usage.

Simple application - liquid coating

Coating can easily be applied by hand or automated spray over the pattern template on any glass type.

No Low-E handling issues

Avoid roller marks and handling risks commonly associated with printed solutions on Low-E coated glass.

Market-leading value

A cost-effective alternative, delivering bird friendly performance at a significantly lower cost than other available solutions.

Regulatory compliance with Threat Factor™ of 16

The American Bird Conservancy tested BirdWise™ BT and BirdWise™ WT in a tunnel test. The glass featured a 2" × 2" pattern of 5 mm dots applied to Surface #1. Both products met ABC’s criteria for bird-friendly glass, achieving a Threat Factor™ of 16.

Benefits of BirdWise™ for Projects

Aesthetic flexibility

Dot patterns are available in any array in two distinct finishes. Markers can vary in shape, color, and spacing to provide your customers with aesthetic options that complement building design.

Year-round visibility to birds

The pattern remains visible to birds, even in wet or low-light conditions, addressing a common shortcoming of many visual marker solutions.

Retrofit compatibility

The coating can be applied as a retrofit to any installed glazing, ensuring that existing windows comply with mandatory bird protection regulations and building codes.

Easy cleaning

As an added benefit, all finishes are treated with EnduroShield® easy-clean coating to reduce dirt pickup and extend cleaning intervals.

BirdWise™ Technology

BirdWise is an inorganic silicone dioxide coating chemically bonded to the glass. It is UV-stable, nonfading, non-peeling, and comes with a 10-year warranty. Developed to address the growing need for effective, scalable bird-friendly solutions, this innovative coating system transforms the way visual markers are applied. With an on-demand spray process, semi-transparent markers are deposited directly onto surface #1 of any glass type during or after production.
