ORNILUX® bird-friendly glass is a solution that combines contemporary design with a responsible approach to the natural environment. Thanks to specialised patterns and coatings, these panes remain virtually invisible to building users while effectively preventing bird collisions with glazed surfaces.
The product range includes several variants – from the subtle Supermikado line pattern and delicate Design Dots, to the innovative UV-reflective coatings used in Mikado glass. Each of these solutions meets strict industry standards and holds certifications confirming its effectiveness, including the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) certification.
ORNILUX® is therefore an ideal choice for projects where both aesthetics and biodiversity protection are key priorities.
As sustainable construction standards continue to evolve, bird safe glass is becoming an increasingly important element of façade design in urban and commercial developments. Modern architecture frequently incorporates large glazed surfaces, which, while visually attractive, can pose risks to wildlife.
For this reason, advanced bird protection glass solutions are increasingly specified by architects seeking to combine transparency, functionality, and ecological responsibility. At Vitroterm-Murów, we provide high-performance ornilux glass technologies adapted to demanding architectural projects where both visual elegance and environmental care are essential.
ORNILUX® Mikado is an innovative glass featuring UV-reflective coatings that are nearly invisible to the human eye, engineered to protect birds while maintaining the clean aesthetics of modern façades.
Its unique structure significantly reduces bird collisions with glazing while preserving full transparency and visual elegance. All ORNILUX® Mikado configurations are certified by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), confirming their effectiveness and environmental safety.
The innovative Ornilux Mikado glass technology has become one of the most recognized bird-safe façade solutions available on the market. By using UV-reflective patterns visible primarily to birds, Ornilux bird safe glass helps reduce collisions without disrupting the intended architectural effect. Many investors choose ornilux mikado glass because it offers a balance between high transparency and measurable ecological performance.
ORNILUX® Design Dots is engineered to prevent bird collisions while maintaining high visual quality. Its surface features a delicate dot pattern that covers less than 1% of the pane, ensuring the glass remains almost completely transparent and visually lightweight.
This solution meets all bird-friendly glass standards, and its effectiveness has been confirmed by ABC certification. ORNILUX® Design Dots is available in monolithic and laminated versions, making it suitable for a wide range of contemporary façades and glazing applications.
ORNILUX bird safe glass in contemporary façade design
In many projects, bird safe glass such as ORNILUX® Design Dots is selected for buildings located near parks, rivers, or migration corridors where wildlife protection is especially important. Advanced bird protection glass solutions can support compliance with green building requirements while maintaining exceptional façade aesthetics. The effectiveness of ornilux bird protection glass has made it a preferred solution for architects designing environmentally responsible buildings.
The Supermikado pattern available in our portfolio is inspired by the irregular line layout characteristic of ORNILUX® Mikado glass. This solution combines modern design with a protective function – the delicate linear pattern is visible to birds while remaining nearly imperceptible to building occupants.
ORNILUX® Supermikado is widely used in balustrades and protective barriers, delivering a balance of aesthetics, safety and environmental responsibility.
ORNILUX Mikado glass – innovation in bird-friendly glazing
Projects using ornilux bird safe glass increasingly demonstrate that sustainable solutions do not require compromises in design. Premium Ornilux glass products help create modern, transparent façades while reducing the environmental impact of glazing systems. Through carefully developed coatings and tested patterns, Ornilux bird protection glass contributes to safer urban environments for wildlife.
At Vitroterm-Murów, we offer glass certified by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC). This certification confirms that the glass has been tested in accordance with ABC guidelines and effectively reduces the risk of bird collisions with glazed surfaces. This is essential for window manufacturers and construction companies delivering projects on the U.S. market, where many cities and states require bird-friendly solutions compliant with ABC criteria.
For projects prioritizing biodiversity and sustainable construction, bird safe glass has become an important standard, especially in North American developments requiring verified environmental performance.
At Vitroterm-Murów, we specialize in manufacturing insulating glass units using bird-friendly glass. As one of the market leaders, we offer proven and effective solutions that help protect birds from collisions with glazed façades.
Our long-standing experience and highly skilled team enable us to fully understand the challenges and requirements of architectural projects—especially in the demanding U.S. market, where we have successfully completed numerous projects.
