WingSafe™ Bird Protection Film — Federal & Institutional Bird-Strike Prevention
Solar Gard® WingSafe™ bird-strike prevention film reduces bird collisions on federal buildings, schools, hospitals, and institutional facilities. WingSafe patterns create visible markers that alert birds to glass surfaces while maintaining building aesthetics and occupant views. ABC (American Bird Conservancy) rated with Threat Factor scores from 4 to 20.

Frequently Asked Questions — WingSafe Dot
Yes. The Window Place USA sells Solar Gard window film by the full factory-sealed 100-foot master roll only. We do not sell partial rolls, cut pieces, or samples. Each roll ships directly from our warehouse via FedEx.
This is a material-only purchase. The Window Place USA is a wholesale distributor — we supply the film, not installation labor. Most of our customers are professional installers, contractors, facility managers, and procurement officers who arrange their own installation.
Yes. We ship to all 50 states via FedEx Ground. Government agencies, schools, and commercial buyers can use P-Card, purchase orders, or standard payment methods. We are SAM.gov registered (CAGE: 52MH9) for federal procurement.
WingSafe bird protection film applies a visible pattern (dots, lines, or stripes) to the exterior surface of glass that birds can see and avoid. The patterns break up reflections and transparency that cause birds to collide with windows. The film is designed to be effective for birds while remaining subtle to human occupants.
The American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Threat Factor rating measures how effective a glass treatment is at preventing bird collisions. Lower numbers are better. WingSafe films have been tested and rated by the ABC, with Threat Factor scores that qualify them as effective bird-deterrent solutions for LEED Pilot Credit 55 and similar green building standards.
Bird safety film should be installed on the exterior surface of glass in areas with high bird-collision risk — including building facades near trees, water features, green roofs, atriums, skywalks, glass railings, bus shelters, and any large glass surface in bird migration corridors.
WingSafe patterns are designed to be visible enough for birds to detect while remaining subtle to human occupants. From typical indoor viewing distances, the patterns are minimally noticeable. The Dot and Black Dot patterns are the most discreet; the Horizontal and Vertical line patterns are slightly more visible but still architecturally acceptable.
WingSafe is available in four patterns: Horizontal (parallel lines), Vertical (parallel lines), Dot (evenly spaced dots), and Black Dot (higher-contrast dot pattern). Each pattern meets ABC testing standards. Pattern choice depends on aesthetic preference and building design.
Architects, building owners pursuing LEED certification, university campus facility managers, municipal planners, wildlife conservation organizations, and professional window film installers. WingSafe is increasingly specified in green building projects and bird-safe building ordinances.
WingSafe is an exterior-applied film, so it can be used alongside interior-applied solar control or security films. This allows buildings to achieve bird safety, energy efficiency, and security protection simultaneously. Browse all window film products here.
