Thompson Innovative Glass to be featured fabricator of Guardian Bird1st™ glass at GlassBuild America 2022

Thompson Innovative Glass, a fabricator of laminated safety glass, insulated glass units,and transparent bullet-resistant products for the commercial, defense, industrial, transportation and residential markets, is proud to announce that it has been selected to fabricate Guardian’s Bird1st glass for the upcoming GlassBuild America 2022.

Bird-Friendly Glass Solutions

It is estimated that 1 billion birds die each year in the U.S. due to glass and building collisions. As a result, an increasing number of states, cities and municipalities are adopting legislation that recommends, and in more and more cases, requires, that bird-friendly materials be used on new construction and building renovations. If your project requires the use of bird-friendly glazing to either meet code or support LEED Pilot Credit 55 qualification, we would love to talk with you. Thompson’s use of Guardian Bird1st UV and Etch offers the right balance of solar performance, aesthetics and bird safety. Thompson Innovative Glass has long been at the forefront of glass innovation and has completed many types of bird-friendly projects. We look forward to you visiting Guardian Glass to see for yourself – Booth 6194 at GlassBuild America 2022.
