Birds flying into windows occur more often than you may think. These collisions are not only bad for the bird but bad for the ecosystem–taking the lives of more than one billion birds each year. They also cause damage to the windows–resulting in expensive repairs. Here in Denver and across the world, building owners face the difficult task of mitigating damage from bird strikes. There are many ways to decrease these sad run-ins, but one of the most effective is fretted window films. These innovative bird strike films are more effective than methods such as netting, decals, or lighting reduction. Once these films are installed on the windows of a high-rise building– bird strikes are greatly reduced, if not eliminated.
How Bird Collision Window Films work
When birds fly into windows it is basically a case of mistaken identity. Birds often see windows as open-air rather than a solid object. This is from the reflection of the open sky on the glass of the window. The very best way to make windows appear as a solid object to birds is by installing bird strike window film. These films have a grid-like pattern of small dots embedded in the film. The pattern is designed so that the bird will not attempt to fly through the spaces in it. This means birds fly around the windows rather than try to fly through them. This means the bird lives and the window of your Denver building stays free of damage– saving you money and repairs. Another great thing about bird strike window film is it comes with many of the same benefits as regular window film: UV-blocking, insulation, and glare reduction, just to name a few.
