WingSafeBird Safe Window Film
Enhancing Existing Glass for a Safer World for Birds.
WingSafe™ Dot Pattern films provide up to Threat Factor 4 solution, rated by the American Bird Conservancy, by introducing subtle yet effective patterns that help birds recognize windows as obstacles and avoid injury and death. Solar Gard WingSafe™ offers an effective, cost-efficient solution for building owners and property managers to reduce bird collisions while maintaining natural views and architectural style.
Each year, hundreds of millions of birds worldwide collide with glass surfaces, with studies from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Smithsonian Institution estimating that up to one billion birds die from bird strikes annually in the U.S. alone. Modern architecture, with its large expanses of clear or reflective glass, increases the risk as birds perceive reflections as open airspace. By breaking up reflections and transparency, WingSafe™ films create a visual cue that birds instinctively avoid while blending seamlessly into contemporary building designs.
Why Bird-Safety Window Film?
Conservation & Threat Factor
With the lowest TF rating from the American Bird Conservancy WingSafe™ window films reduce bird collisions and help protect local ecosystems. Every building constructed or retrofitted with bird safety window films can significantly aid bird population health and biodiversity.
Compliance & Certifications
Many municipalities and environmental programs, including LEED, award points or recognition for bird-friendly design. Codes may require up to 90% of building elevation to employ bird safety measures such as bird strike films WingSafe™ will help you meet these building regulations and certification standards.
Long-Term Performance
WingSafe™ Black Dot offers a weatherproof, scratch-resistant film with manufacturer warranties. Our Black Dot pattern, comes with a 10-year warranty, ensuring your investment remains effective for years to come.
Signs Your Building Needs Collision Prevention
Certain building features increase the likelihood of bird strikes. If you notice any of the following, bird-safe window film may be your solution:
- Large glass facades with strong reflections of sky or landscaping
- Transparent surfaces like lobbies, conservatories, or enclosed walkways that appear open to birds
- Evidence of bird strikes, such as stunned or deceased birds near windows
- Bright interior or exterior lighting at night, which can disorient migrating birds
- Structures located in or near flight paths, open landscapes, or lush vegetation
WingSafe™ Patterns & Threat Factor (TF) Ratings
WingSafe™ Bird Protection Film is proud to offer distinct patterns, tested and rated for effectiveness by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC). One of our top priorities is ensuring measurable results that reduce collisions and promote sustainability. Threat Factor (TF) ratings are determined by how effectively the pattern prevents bird collisions, with lower numbers indicating greater success in deterring strikes.
