What Is Bird-Safe Glass? Bird-safe glass (also called bird-friendly glass or bird-safe glazing) is architectural glass designed to reduce the number of collisions using permanent visual markers that ...
When specifying glass in buildings, sometimes architects and owners seek high levels of transparency and visibility. Other times, a building design calls for low transparency, or reflectivity, to ...
In North America, as many as 1 billion birds are killed every year flying into glass. Fortunately, this is a solvable environmental issue with the development of bird safe glass technologies. ...
Glass – it's everywhere: our homes, our cars, and where we work. While we see this amazing material all around us every day, in its purest form it’s virtually invisible. Wondering exactly how glass ...
With both heat-strengthening and tempering, it is possible that glass will develop either optical image distortion or anisotropy, which refers to patterns or visual effects in glass that are not ...
As one of the most popular and versatile building materials used in modern architectural glazing, low‑e emissivity (or low‑e glass) coatings provide exceptional energy efficiency, thermal performance ...
To provide an extremely hard non-corrosive oxide film on the surface of aluminum by electrolytic action. The electrochemical process produces an anodic coating by conversion of aluminum into essentially aluminum oxide. Appearance depends upon both the alloy involved and the surface preparation. Anodic coatings may be transparent, of varying shades of silver, gray or brown, or colors may be incorporated by the use of dyes or pigments.
