Three criteria characterise effective bird protection glass and make it a visible obstacle for birds. A look at the development process leading up to the current state of the art shows what these are.
The new central library of the University of Marburg is another architectural highlight for the city. The building nevertheless sets its own design accent. Exciting: the glass facade of the atrium consists of around 1300 square metres of Ornilux mikado bird protection glass from Isolar. Here are the details.

Recently, LSG interlayers specialist Eastman introduced Saflex FlySafe 3D, a new PVB interlayer that is very effective at keeping birds from colliding with glass facades. An exciting pilot project with 8 m long bird protection glass has now been installed in the Helios schools in Cologne, GLASWELT took a look on site.
