Help Prevent Bird Strikes On Homes In Dallas
The root of the issue with bird strikes is–birds see your window as the open sky. In a world where windows are incredibly clear and reflective–this makes sense. Some people apply decals of large birds of prey to prevent birds from trying to fly through their windows. This won’t work because the birds will just fly around it. The key to success is making your entire window visible to birds. Which is why we offer a product called “fretted” window films to stop lethal window/bird run-ins.
What is a Fretted Window Film?
Fretted films are specifically made for bird strike prevention. They are also called bird strike prevention films therefore and are a powerful way to lower instances of avian collisions with windows. These films have tiny recurring pattern embedded in them. The best patterns are both horizontal and vertical dots or lines spaced no more than 2-4inches apart depending on their orientation. This prevents birds from trying to fly through gaps in the pattern. Although small and barely visible to humans from a distance–this technology makes your windows 100% visible to birds. Happily, these window films are easy to install and can be customized to a pattern of your choice. Plus, you get a lot of the same benefits of regular window film too: sun control, energy savings and increased security notwithstanding.
