Solar Gard WingSafe Dot: Purpose and Appearance
Solar Gard WingSafe Dot is a patterned bird-strike deterrent film that makes glass visible to birds while staying close to invisible from inside, part of the WingSafe range, at 88% light transmission, with an American Bird Conservancy Threat Factor of 15. Manufacturer code SK0314WSBPFD. 4.0 mil (100 micron) gauge. Three-year manufacturer warranty, shorter than the ten years the other three WingSafe patterns carry.
Published Performance
The manufacturer publishes 88% visible light transmission, 10% exterior visible reflectance, 99% of ultraviolet blocked, 18% of total solar energy rejected, 10% interior visible reflectance, 2% glare reduction, a solar heat gain coefficient of 0.82, a winter U-factor of 1.04. Those figures are the 1/8 in (3 mm) clear, single pane column of the manufacturer’s table; thicker and double-pane glazing performs differently. Figures are comparative and measured on the manufacturer’s stated test glazing, so actual results vary with the glass they are applied to.
Professional Glass Review and Installation
Final suitability depends on glass type, pane configuration, coatings, edge condition, framing and orientation. OOVO Window Films can inspect the glass, compare the options within the Bird Safety range and recommend the film that fits the property. Request a residential or commercial assessment.
