PrintingSoarSafe^™

Viracon's SoarSafe is a first-surface, laser-etch glass offering designed to help birds see buildings. 

Laser etching patterns on the first surface is an environmentally-friendly process that creates permanent, visible markers on the exterior of the glass. These patterns lower reflectivity and help make glass visible to birds.  

The versatility of offering laser etching on surface #1 allows for any of Viracon's high-performance Low-E coatings to be applied to surface #2. The result is a bird-friendly facade that delivers beautiful aesthetics and thermal performance.

Our SoarSafe offering includes three popular dot patterns with 1% or less coverage so there is no impact to thermal performance.

These patterns offer Threat Factors of 20 or 25 in accordance with ABC guidelines.
