Welcome to Window Film Chicago! We are excited to introduce an innovative solution for bird safety: Bird Divert. We take pride in offering this remarkable product to property owners throughout Chicago, including neighborhoods such as Near North Side, Lincoln Park, Lake View, West Loop, and River North.

The Bird Collision Crisis in North America

The statistics surrounding bird fatalities due to glass collisions are startling. Every year, up to 1 billion birds lose their lives in North America, and this crisis affects not only our natural surroundings but also our homes, cottages, and buildings. In fact, houses and cottages are responsible for an estimated 25.9% of these fatalities, while low and mid-rise buildings contribute to 63.9%, and high-rise buildings cause an estimated 10.2% of bird fatalities.

Why do birds collide with glass? The answer is that the outside of glass is reflective, mirroring the environment around it. Birds don’t perceive glass as a barrier, leading to these tragic accidents.

A Solution for Chicago Buildings: Bird Divert

Now, let’s talk about the solution: Bird Divert. Manufactured by National Window Film, Bird Divert is the answer to bird collisions in the Windy City. This innovative product is designed to be highly effective, and it boasts some unique features that set it apart from the rest.

Developed by National Window Film, Bird Divert™ is the most effective, optically-clear bird marker available in the market today. It’s a sophisticated solution that combines science and technology to protect our avian friends.

How Bird Divert Works

Understanding the science behind Bird Divert is essential to grasp its effectiveness. This unique window film can only be seen by birds because it falls within their visible spectrum but remains invisible to the human eye. It consists of a durable UV-absorbing and reflecting dot matrix that appears black or violet to avian eyes, ensuring they recognize it as an obstacle.

When birds encounter Bird Divert, they see it as a solid barrier and avoid colliding with it. This optical illusion is created by the film’s UV-absorbing and reflecting properties, which make it highly visible to birds and virtually invisible to humans. It acts as a protective shield for our feathered friends, preventing unnecessary injuries and fatalities.

Features of Bird Divert

Bird Divert incorporates proprietary UV reflective and absorbing technology, making it an industry leader in bird collision prevention. This technology is recognized by the American Bird Conservancy as the only industry-leading application to achieve a threat level of 18. Additionally, Bird Divert qualifies commercial buildings for LEED pilot 55 certifications, underlining its commitment to environmental sustainability.

This product boasts a 98% Visible Light Transmission (VLT), allowing natural light to flood your living or working space while maintaining bird safety. With a thickness of 3.2 millimeters, Bird Divert is durable and long-lasting. It’s made with a PVC acrylic hard coat, which ensures weather resistance and excellent performance even in Chicago’s diverse climate conditions. The application is simple; Bird Divert is applied to building exteriors, making it a versatile solution for various structures. To provide added peace of mind, we offer a 5-year manufacturer warranty, so you can trust in the longevity and performance of Bird Divert.
