Pilkington AviSafe™ – Overview:

Birds often fail to recognize window frames and other building elements as barriers. Instead, they see a clear view through the glass or a reflection of natural surroundings, leading them to believe they have a direct flight path, which results in collisions with windows. To help reduce these incidents, NSG Group introduces Pilkington AviSafe™—an innovative, award-winning glass solution designed to protect birds by making glass more visible to them.

Unlike humans, birds can see ultraviolet (UV) light. Pilkington AviSafe™ utilizes a specially designed UV-enhanced patterned coating that disrupts reflections, creating a visible signal for birds and preventing window strikes. The coating follows the industry-standard 2×4 rule, which ensures the glass remains visible to birds while retaining its aesthetic appeal from both inside and outside. Tested by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), Pilkington AviSafe™ has a threat factor of 12 when applied to surface #1 (the external face), making it highly effective in reducing collisions.

Applications:

• Commercial and residential external glass

• Marina buildings

• Eco-friendly port designs
