“The wide variety of native birds that thrive in urban areas underscores the importance of these artificial habitats to the survival of many bird populations. Creating green-space in urban environments, landscaping with native plants in backyards and parks, adopting architecture and lighting systems that reduce collisions, and keeping pets indoors will provide the greatest benefit to breeding birds and migrants seeking safe places to rest and find food during their spectacular journeys.”
– 2009 State of The Birds Report by the United States Government US Department of Interior
Ultraviolet Reflective Pattern
For architectural projects requiring a highly-transparent bird safe glass, the Ultraviolet Reflective Pattern is an ideal choice. GlasPro’s Bird Safe UV glass has colored patterns, visible to birds, that can help prevent bird-window collisions while being highly transparent to the human eye.
GlasPro Bird Safe UV glass was tunnel tested by the ABC and earned a Threat Factor of 21, exceeding the standard for effective bird collision deterrent materials. Bird Safe UV glass is proven to effectively deter birds, improve energy efficiency, meet safety standards, and maintain the human visual experience with its high transparency.
First Surface Etch
Featuring innovative etching techniques to create visible patterns that deter bird collisions while maintaining transparency and aesthetics. Ideal for both commercial and residential applications, this environmentally friendly glass ensures wildlife protection without compromising design integrity. First Surface Etch is a pivotal addition to GlasPro’s expansive Bird Safe line.
Fritted Glass For Railings
There is more than one way to create a bird-friendly building
The human visual experience specified for the building is a big factor in selecting a bird-friendly glass solution. The transparency of Bird Safe glass decreases with the increase in line or dot patterns visible to people – an important item to note. To help you better understand the product line of Bird Safe glass, we’ve created a chart to clearly explain the key features.

* The 2×4 rule describes the distance between elements making up a pattern applied to windows for the purpose of preventing bird strikes. To be effective, the pattern must uniformly cover the entire window and consist of elements of any shape (lines, dots, other geometric figures, etc.) separated by no more than 5 cm (2 inches) if oriented in horizontal rows, or by 10 cm (4 inches) if oriented in vertical columns. These patterns eliminate bird-window collisions when applied to the outer surface (Surface #1) of reflective panes, or when applied to any surface of multi-pane see-through windows. Greater spacing between pattern elements increases the risk of a strike and casualties.
