Bird strikes are becoming a more pressing issue as windows in homes, and commercial buildings are getting hit more frequently. If you have ever seen one, you know how gruesome it can be. These incidents are extremely frequent across the world and right here in Colorado.
The majority of bird strikes end in the death of the birds, which then creates an even bigger problem. Bird strikes are reducing global bird populations at an alarming rate and could lead to extinction for some species.
Why the Problem of Bird Strikes is Growing in Colorado
The increasing number of buildings in Colorado is raising the frequency of birds hitting windows. Even though halting construction is not an available option to diminish bird strikes, there is a readily accessible solution: fritted window film.
What is Fritted Window Film?
Fritted films are a type of bird strike prevention film which helps to prevent avian collisions with windows. These films have tiny patterns embedded on them that are spaced about 2-4 inches apart. Even though they are not very visible to humans, they are very visible to birds and let the birds know that they see a solid object instead of the sky. In response, the birds avoid the window.
A window film solution like this, applied to the windows of your Colorado structures, not only saves birds’ lives but has other benefits as well. Some of the benefits include:
- Added security
- UV protection
- Design and decoration
- Added window installation
