Textured dielectric surface patterns: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Standard glass surfaces lack visual contrast for avian detection, leading to high property liability and ecological impact. These innovations engineer specific dielectric layer textures and reflective patterns to modulate light visibility for birds without compromising human transparency.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Textured dielectric surface patterns?

Avian collision mortality

(4)evidences

Standard glazing surfaces are invisible to birds, leading to fatal impacts. Mitigating this failure of visual detection prevents property damage and ecological loss.

Avian building strike mortality

(3)evidences

High-transparency glazing surfaces are visually imperceptible to birds, leading to fatal structural impacts. Mitigating this failure of visual detection prevents ecological damage and meets regulatory safety requirements for architectural glass.
