Solar Gard’s 2025 review dated WingSafe’s introduction to April

Solar Gard’s December 5, 2025 year-end review identified April as the introduction month for WingSafe, its patterned film intended to make glazing more visible to birds. The retrospective is the dated source for that timeline; the exact launch day is not established.

The accompanying international Black Dot sheet describes an exterior film with 11-millimetre dots on a 65-millimetre grid. It reports different Threat Factor results for American Bird Conservancy testing and an Austrian reflective-glass test.

Those reported test results describe particular test conditions. They should not be read as a guaranteed percentage reduction in collisions at every building. TintNews reviewed the manufacturer’s literature, not the underlying laboratory reports or a monitored installation. The film’s intended application is an architectural retrofit, rather than an automotive tint product.
