Bird friendly insulated glass (BFIG) is a type of glass that is designed to reduce bird collisions. BFIG units are made up of two or more panes of glass that are separated by a spacer. The spacer is designed to create a pattern that is visible to birds, but not to humans. The pattern helps to break up the reflection of the sky and trees, which can make it difficult for birds to see the glass.

I used to be a strict modernist; my role at TreeHugger was to demonstrate that green design could be wonderful and cool and I filled the site with all kinds of modern houses with some claim, often weak, for being green. Those houses became less common on the site in recent times, as I worried more about house size, the appropriateness of single family dwellings on big suburban lots, and trying to reconcile my love of clean, modern design with my concern about the use of fossil fuels or building materials that cannot be maintained in a world made by hand.

Architectural colored glass is glass that is used as a building material. It is most typically used as transparent glazing material in the building envelope, including windows in the external walls. Glass is also used for internal partitions and as an architectural feature. When used in buildings, glass is often of a safety type, which include reinforced, toughened and laminated glass for sale.

Non reflective glass for framing pictures, also known as AR glass or non-glare glass, is a type of specialty cut glass that significantly reduces the reflection from glass surfaces, enhancing transparency and visibility. This type of glass is particularly useful in applications where glare can be a problem, such as in display cabinets, digital screens, or architectural glazing where clear visibility is essential. Unlike standard glass surfaces that can reflect a significant amount of light, anti reflective coating for windows reduce reflections, allowing more light to pass through and improving visibility. These specialized coatings are often applied in a decorative glass factory. Contact us for more information!
