REXI Bird Safe Glass is a glass friendly to birds which offers an innovative solution to the critical issue of bird-window collisions. Utilizing carefully crafted dot and linear patterns on the exterior surface, REXI Bird Safe Ceramic Frit Glass provide a visible warning to birds, effectively reducing the risk of collisions with glass.

While glass window and glass curtain wall offer visual connectivity for humans, they pose a significant threat to birds due to the lack of warning signals. Research shows that up to a billion birds in the United States alone fall victim to bird-window collisions annually, underlining the importance of addressing this problem. With growing regulatory attention to birds’ protection issue, REXI Bird Friendly Glass emerges as an innovative and essential solution at the intersection of environmental conservation and architectural design.

Creating a visual contrast on the glass through various methods serves as a visible marker to birds, aiding them in detecting the glass as a physical barrier and avoiding collisions. The effectiveness of the solution depends on the technology utilized, as well as the size and spacing of the pattern elements. Additionally, the building's surroundings, lighting conditions, and the outside reflectivity of the glazing also contribute to the solution's effectiveness.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE

REXI bird friendly glass offer a series of specifically ceramic fritted patterns on the glass surface, it can be combined with high-performance low e coatings to provide thermal insulation and solar control properties to the glazing. These coatings help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature by reducing the amount of solar energy entering through the glazing in the summer, and minimizing heat loss during the winter.

ECOLOGICAL PROTECTION

REXI bird safe glass offers a visible pattern that is translucent rather than opaque. It is applied on surface 1 with a low-E coating on surface 2 for optimal performance results and it help deter bird-building collisions.

REXI birds safe friendly glass made in China has got an American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Threat Factor (TF) of 17.  The glass exceeds the ABC’s minimum standard for effective collision deterrent materials of TF 30.  ABC uses Threat Factors to indicate the relative ability of materials to reduce collisions.  Products with lower TFs are considered more effective at preventing collisions.
