BIRD FRIENDLY GLASS

Glazed façades, balustrades and large windows are now a standard in contemporary architecture. Unfortunately, they pose a serious threat to birds – reflections of the sky and surrounding greenery make glass appear invisible, creating a deadly barrier. Every year, millions of birds die as a result of collisions with buildings.

At Vitroterm-Murów, we offer solutions designed to reduce this phenomenon. Our bird-friendly glass maintains the full aesthetic qualities of standard glazing while, through specialised patterns and coatings, alerting birds to the presence of an obstacle. This enables investors and architects to design modern buildings with extensive glazing while simultaneously protecting the natural environment.

BIRD-FRIENDLY GLASS

4BIRD® GLASS

Bird-friendly glass from the 4Bird® product line is a modern solution that combines high aesthetics with environmental responsibility. Specially designed patterns make the glass visible to birds while maintaining the elegant appearance of the façade.

Vitroterm-Murów offers two variants of bird-friendly glass within the 4Bird® range:

4Bird® Etch – glass with a chemically etched pattern, durable and resistant to abrasion.
4Bird® Frit – glass featuring a ceramic print, which can be positioned in various locations on the pane, providing extensive design flexibility.

By incorporating bird-friendly glass, the risk of collisions is significantly reduced, making buildings more environmentally sustainable. Solutions from the 4Bird® line are ideal for public buildings, office complexes and private spaces where both aesthetic and ecological considerations are essential.

BIRD-FRIENDLY GLASS

ORNILUX® GLASS

Our product portfolio includes innovative Ornilux® bird-friendly glass, which combines aesthetic qualities with effective bird protection. Three variants are available, tailored to different architectural applications:

Ornilux® Mikado – glass with a subtle pattern that is clearly visible to birds yet nearly invisible to the human eye.
Ornilux® Design Dots – glass featuring a dot pattern that integrates seamlessly with the façade while providing effective bird protection.
Ornilux® Supermikado – a solution dedicated to balustrades, maintaining high transparency while reducing the risk of bird collisions.

Ornilux® bird-friendly glazing uses innovative coatings that make the glass detectable to birds while remaining almost imperceptible to people. This allows architects to design modern glazed buildings without the risk of negative impact on wildlife.

Bird-friendly glass is an excellent example of how technology can support both environmental protection and architectural aesthetics.
