Guardian Bird1st™ UV
Get a clear view of the human-centric qualities of our bird-friendly glass.*
The new Bird1st™ UV can help you meet building requirements, while protecting clean, unobstructed views. With jumbo sheet sizes and non-directional patterning, it can help lower installed costs (vs. our first-generation product) by allowing fabricators to greatly increase yields from each stock sheet. And, while many alternative UV deterrents reflect about 30% of UV light, our Bird1st UV pattern reflects upwards of 75%, creating a signal to birds with an as-strong-as-possible chance of being seen. Boosting the contrast further, we require use of laminated outboard glass to absorb >99% of UV light outside the pattern. The result? A glass that provides a deterrent with our lowest level of visibility to humans, while earning a Threat Factor score of ≤25 from the American Bird Conservancy. Bird1st UV—a bird-friendly solution for designing beautifully unified façades.
*The American Bird Conservancy defines "bird-friendly" materials as those with a Threat Factor score of ≤30.
Non-Directional Pattern
This graphic simulates the Bird1st UV pattern, which is extremely hard for humans to see.
