Protect Wildlife in Salt Lake City with Bird Safety Film
When you hear about things like pesticides or oil spills killing our feathered friends–you likely get concerned. Well, did you know there is an even bigger threat out there to birds that kill 600 million birds each year in the U.S. and Canada? And more than a billion worldwide? Bird collisions are a serious problem and are putting wildlife at risk in Salt Lake City. That’s why we offer bird strike prevention window film for Salt Lake City properties.
Why Bird Strike Prevention Film Is Important
The beautiful reflective windows on homes and businesses here in Dallas are virtually invisible to birds. Often, they can’t discern the difference between a reflection and their surroundings and collide straight into the glass. When a collision occurs it is a messy, painful and inhumane way for a bird to die. It also causes millions of dollars of damage to windows.
So how do you keep your Dallas windows and the birds free of damage from bird strike collisions? Stop the accidents all together of course! And the best way to do this is by having bird strike prevention window film applied to the glass windows and doors of your structure.
How Bird Strike Prevention Film Works
The theory on why birds fly into windows is fairly sound and generally agreed upon.Birds fly into windows simply because they don’t see them. The highly reflective glass in today’s modern era simply looks like clear skies to these wonderful creatures.Sop, window film companies have created films that are “fritted” to make the windows more visible to an avian. Fritted glass essentially one has a recurring pattern of lines or dots embedded into it for the very purpose of giving birds a heads up.They will recognize it as a wall, not the clear open sky. This results in a drastic reduction in collisions, sparing the lives of the many beautiful birds in the Dallas sky and saving you money in glass repairs in the long run.
Types Of Bird Strike Prevention Film
At Window Film Salt Lake City, we offer various types of bird collision mitigation films to meet your needs including:
Fritted window film: Fritted film typically comes in patterns with horizontal lines, vertical lines, or dots. However, it can be a custom pattern as well. What you are looking for in a pattern, is something repeats continuously with horizontal lines, dots or other objects spaced no more than two inches apart and vertical lines no more than four inches .Any pattern less dense and, sadly, birds will try to fly through it. A common misconception is–placing an outline of a large hawk on a window will prevent window collisions. This is not an effective workaround. Most birds will attempt to fly around the decal and end up striking the window anyway. However, fritted patterns are barely visible to the human eye–especially at any great distance, so aesthetics shouldn’t be an issue.
