As part of Guardian’s thoughtful approach to bird-friendly glass, Bird1st™ Etch allows architects and designers greater flexibility in meeting both energy performance and bird safety requirements – while delivering on aesthetic. In four distinct patterns, Bird1st Etch boasts a visible translucence for high style and visual appeal on façades and curtain walls.

Bird1st Etch achieves Material Threat scores (MT) to quantify collision-avoidance effectiveness, as tested by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC). Material Threat scores indicate the percent of times in which birds will not avoid collision, and ABC defines “bird-friendly” materials as having a threat score ≤30. The lower the threat factor, the more effective the product will be at decreasing collisions.
By pairing the visual deterrent of acid-etched glass on surface 1 with Guardian SunGuard® low-E coatings on surface 2, you can expertly achieve energy performance requirements of any given project, while also contributing to LEED Pilot Credit 55 qualification.
