Bird-safe glass digital printing: an ecological and safety choice

Bird safe glass digital printings are beautiful to see and warn birds about dangerous collision, to reduce the environmental impact of our cities

 Every year, almost 1 billion migratory birds die as a result of a collision with a glass; just in Italy, according to LIPU, they are over 25 millions. This represents an immense impact on the habitat of our cities and an environmental, humanitarian and security issue.

But there is a proven solution: printing on the glass “bird-safe” patterns, which make glass safer for birds, while retaining style.

The American Bird Conservancy has studied scientific guidelines for effective bird-safe patterns: made by small regular elements, such as dots, lines, silhouettes, no more than 5 centimeters horizontally and no more than 10 centimeters vertically.

Cromoglass ®by Veneto Vetro is the glass digital printing with six-color ceramic paints resistant to UV rays and weathering, which perfectly suits this purpose.

We offer designers and architects an extensive catalog of patterns and the possibility to print their own decoration, for a unique, durable and ecological aesthetic solution!
