Saflex FlySafe 3D - highly effective solution for bird-protection laminated glass
Countless birds die each year from collisions into windows and buildings with glass facades.

To address the global challenge of birds colliding with glass in buildings, we are introducing Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D PVB interlayers, a highly effective solution for bird-protection laminated glass that gives architects and glass laminators the freedom to create visually stunning buildings while still protecting birds.
