Stop Bird Collisions In Salt Lake City Properties With Window Film
Bird strikes on highrise windows and homes are frequent. When these sad accidents occur they result in the loss of bird lives– more than one billion birds each year. They are more than just deadly to birds–they are horrible for the environment too–drastically diminishing the bird populations across the US. They wreak havoc on windows too. Sometimes resulting in lengthy and expensive repairs. Here in the Salt Lake City area, building owners and managers have the burden of mitigating damage from bird strikes. There are many ways to decrease these horrible run-ins. One of the most effective methods is with bird strike window films. These high-tech window films work better than other mitigation measures such as netting, decals, or lighting reduction. Once these films are installed, bird strikes are greatly reduced, if not eliminated on the windows of Salt Lake City’s high-rise buildings and homes.
How Bird Collision Window Films work
When birds crash into windows, it is due to a case of mistaken identity. Birds perceive windows as the open sky rather than solid objects due to the reflection on the glass of the windows and also because they can see objects behind the glass. In order to make windows appear like a solid object utilizing bird strike, window film is essential. The way these films work is through a grid-like pattern of small dots embedded on the film. The pattern is designed so that the bird will not try to fly through the spaces in the dots. This means birds see the pattern as something like a fence or net and fly around the windows rather than try to fly through it. This saves the lives of the birds and keeps the window of your Salt Lake City building free from being broken. Stopping these collisions also saves you money and the time of repairs. Another fantastic thing about bird strike window film is it comes with many of the same benefits as regular window film: UV-blocking, insulation, and glare reduction.
