Avery Dennison introduced SkyWay Bird Film on October 22, 2024, adding a patterned retrofit option for residential and commercial glass. The product uses dots intended to interrupt reflections that birds may mistake for open space.
The announcement broadened the company’s architectural-film offering beyond solar control and appearance. Its proposed use was to modify existing windows, rather than require replacement glazing.
Avery reported a Threat Factor score of 15 under the American Bird Conservancy’s testing approach. That figure is a manufacturer-reported test result in this account, not a TintNews field study or a promise that an individual building will have a particular collision rate.
The release also made building-code and green-building claims. This brief does not independently validate those claims for any project. A product announcement alone cannot establish a building’s compliance, and this historical coverage does not verify current installation specifications.
