Glazing reduces bird strikes

Compared to regular glazing, bird strikes are reduced by using Eastman Chemical Co.’s laminated glass with a Saflex FlySafe 3-D polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. SEEN AG supplies 3-D reflective sequins between two layers of glass catch light at different angles, subtly sparkling to deter birds from the glass. The sequin pattern covers less than 1% of the glass area. The glazing can be used for a variety of applications including atriums, balustrades, cladding, curtainwalls, exterior doors, façades, link bridges, podium glass, skylights and windows. Glass laminated with a Saflex FlySafe 3-D PVB interlayer meets regulations and certifications for bird protection including LEED SSpc55 pilot credits for bird collision deterrence.
