Glass that performs and protects

In six distinct patterns, Bird1st Etch glass boasts a visible translucence for high style and visual appeal on façades and curtain walls. Bird1st Etch DX22 features non-directional 5mm dots spaced 2" x 2" apart and tested by the American Bird Conservancy for proven effectiveness.

Advanced technology for optimized protection

Guardian® Bird1st™ Etch pairs the visual deterrent of acid-etched glass on surface 1 with Guardian SunGuard® low-E coatings on surface 2.
