Make Your Building Bird-Friendly with ArmRLite’s Glass Solutions

December 9, 2024

Eco-friendly buildings often bring to mind features like energy efficiency and sustainable materials. One crucial aspect of environmentally conscious building is frequently overlooked – making our buildings bird-friendly.

Every year, over 1 to 2 billion birds in the US alone die due to collisions with glass barriers they can’t perceive. You can help avoid this preventable tragedy by incorporating bird-friendly glass into your garage door designs – and when it comes to bird-friendly glass, no one does it better than ArmRLite.

ArmRLite’s Bird-friendly Glass is specially designed glazing that provides visual cues to birds to help prevent collisions without sacrificing aesthetics or performance. With various glass options, including insulated and non-insulated units, an ArmRLite glass garage door is the perfect choice for any eco-conscious building.

Why is Bird-Friendly Glass Necessary?

While humans can easily identify environmental cues that signify glass as an obstruction, birds don’t have this ability. Because they don’t recognize glass as a danger, birds often unknowingly collide with glass barriers, resulting in severe injuries and, in many cases, death.

Not only are these unnecessary collisions heartbreaking, but they also significantly impact bird populations and, by extension, the environment. By incorporating bird-friendly glass into your building design, you can contribute to a healthier ecosystem by significantly reducing preventable bird collisions.

What Makes ArmRLite’s Bird-Friendly Glass Stand Out?

At ArmRLite, we understand the importance of making buildings safe for both humans and wildlife. We offer various functional and stylish bird-friendly glass options that prioritize safety.

Examples of our customizable bird-friendly glass solutions include:

Vertical stripe pattern using a UV coating on one surface and a Low E coating on another. ArmRLite can incorporate this pattern into an insulated unit or used as a single pane non-insulated glazing.

Various etched dot patterns, staggered or straight, which ArnRLite can add to the glass surface in insulated units. These easily visible patterns offer the most effective deterrent for bird collisions.

Etched vertical line patterns can also be added to the glass surface in insulated units. These highly visible patterns provide another effective option for preventing bird collisions.

And More!

ArmRLite offers customizable bird-friendly glass solutions to meet specific project or building code requirements. Our sales team is always available to help you find the perfect solution for your building’s needs.
