Bird protection film with UV and light reflection protection

Abstract

Bird protection film for application on glass surfaces is characterized by its clear sun protection film as the carrier material, its high sunlight reflection, invisible to the human eye, its frosted and / or transparent surface, its ability to absorb and / or reflect up to 99.9% of UV radiation, and its integrated dots or lines on the side facing the glass. The integrated dots or lines are either printed or coated, appear reflective from the outside, and are transparent from the inside, thus visually warning birds without significantly obstructing visibility inside.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to a special bird protection film that is applied to window glass to protect birds from collisions with glass surfaces.

[0002] The bird protection film is designed for application to window glass, especially for large glass surfaces. The film acts as sun protection, offers high UV protection, and also deters birds. It can be used as an externally applied film or as an interlayer film in laminated safety glass (VSG) and insulated glass (on the side facing the air gap). State of the art / background of the invention:

[0003] The use of large glass surfaces often leads to birds not recognizing them as obstacles and colliding with them. Existing bird deterrent solutions, which increase visibility for birds through patterns on the outside of the window, frequently impair the view for residents and do not offer comprehensive protection against UV radiation and sunlight.

[0004] Birds are frequently victims of collisions with glass surfaces, leading to significant losses in bird populations. Conventional solutions often either fail to provide sufficient protection or obstruct views and light. Therefore, there is a need for an effective yet transparent and aesthetically pleasing solution. Description of the invention:

[0005] The present invention comprises a bird protection film consisting of a transparent solar control film as a carrier material. This film has the following special features: High invisible sunlight reflection: The film reflects sunlight to a high degree without this being visible to the human eye. This contributes to reducing heat build-up in interior spaces.

[0006] Matte, invisible surface: The surface of the film is matte and invisible, meaning that the view through the glass is not affected.

[0007] 99.9% UV absorption: The film offers high protection against UV radiation by absorbing 99.9% of UV rays. This not only protects interiors from UV damage but also birds, which are distracted by the film.

[0008] Integrated dots or lines: On the side of the film facing the glass, there are integrated dots or lines, either printed or coated. These dots or lines are designed to have a reflective surface from the outside, while appearing transparent from the inside. This allows a clear view inside while simultaneously alerting birds to the reflective elements. Advantages of the invention:

[0009] The presented bird protection film offers several advantages: Aesthetics: The transparent and frosted surface ensures an unobstructed view to the outside, making the film an attractive solution for windows. Bird protection: The integrated reflective dots or lines help to warn birds and avoid collisions with the glass without impairing human visibility. UV protection: The high UV absorption protects both the interior spaces from harmful UV radiation and the birds by reducing their visibility on the glass. Energy efficiency: The high sunlight reflection helps to reduce heat generation indoors, which can lower energy consumption for air conditioning. Conclusion:

[0010] The present invention presents an innovative solution for reducing bird collisions with window glass, offering both functional and aesthetic advantages. The combination of a transparent solar control film, an invisible surface, and reflective elements makes this bird protection film an effective and attractive choice for modern buildings.

[0011] The present invention describes a bird deterrent film that can be used both as an adhesive film for window glass and as an interlayer in laminated safety glass and insulating glass. The film consists of a transparent solar control film with high, non-visible sunlight reflection and a frosted surface that allows unobstructed visibility from the inside. It absorbs 99.9% of UV radiation, thus providing a high level of protection against UV light. Reflective dots or lines are present on the side of the film facing the glass, which are visible to birds from the outside and act as a deterrent without impairing the view from the inside. The versatility of the film allows for its use in both residential and commercial applications.
