Glass that performs and protects

Bird1st Etch glass boasts a visible translucence for high style and visual appeal on façades and curtain walls. Bird1st Etch SqX22 features non-directional 6mm squares, randomly spaced no more than 2” x 2” apart. The pattern is tested by the American Bird Conservancy for proven effectiveness.

Etch SqX22 is available in larger sizes – 102" x 130", 102" x 144" and 102" x 204" – and the non-directional pattern eliminates the need for lining up designs from lite to lite, saving hassle and increasing your aesthetic range of options.

Advanced technology for optimized protection

Guardian Bird1st™ Etch pairs the visual deterrent of acid-etched glass on surface 1 with Guardian SunGuard® low-E coatings on surface 2. This allows you to expertly achieve energy performance and the bird-friendly standards your project requires – while also contributing to LEED Innovation Credit for Bird Collision Deterrence qualification.
