Guardian Glass Features New Bird-Friendly Product at AIA
Architects and designers seeking high performance, aesthetically pleasing glass products, while honoring a commitment to preserving the planet, will find the right solutions at the Guardian Glass booth at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Convention in Las Vegas June 6-8.
Six hundred million birds die every year as a result of striking buildings. As architects join government entities, industry groups and environmental organizations in seeking solutions to reducing bird collisions with glass, Guardian Glass will feature its soon-to-be-available Guardian Bird1st™ UV coated glass. Bird1st UV coated glass can be combined with Guardian SunGuardcoated glass products to bring value to new construction or retrofits by delivering desired performance and a neutral appearance with bird safety in mind. The product works with laminated glass to break up the reflectivity, making the UV vertical stripes visible to birds, but very subtle to the human eye.
