Bird-friendly glass is designed to help prevent birds from colliding with surfaces and getting injured or killed. It can consist of several types of glass treatments:
Fritted Glass: Fritted glass features small ceramic dots or lines applied to its surface. These patterns create visual contrast, alerting birds to the presence of the glass as a physical barrier.
Acid-Etched Glass: Acid etching creates a frosted appearance on the glass. The textured surface helps birds perceive it as an obstacle and avoid collisions.
UV-Coated Glass: Some glass coatings are visible in ultraviolet (UV) light, which birds can see. These coatings enhance glass visibility without significantly affecting human perception.
