glazing bird glass the issue Given the hundreds of millions of birds killed every year due to collisions with glass on buildings, bird window strikes are rapidly becoming a major factor in the decline of bird populations. This is caused by glass on all types of structures—from big city skyscrapers to windows on personal residences.

The reflective and transparent characteristics of glass make windows and facades dangerous for birds. They see the reflection of trees or the sky in a window, or see through the glass to trees and sky on the other side of a window or glass corridor. There is no barrier perceived and they fly into the glass causing instant death or severe head trauma that they eventually die from or because they are injured, fall prey to scavengers.

38

the challenge Glass as a design element has many purposes, including providing a feeling of openness and to bring sunlight into the building. Advances in glass technology make it an ideal building and design material. This along with green building practices that focus on energy efficiency through the use of natural light add up to more and more glass being utilized in architecture, which translates to continued dangerous conditions for birds.

Architects, builders and owners are challenged to specify glass that is attractive, provides a feeling of openness and natural light; is maintainable; affordable; energy-efficient...and also that creates “visual noise” alerting birds that a barrier is present.

the solution Synergy is pleased to offer both Commercial and Residential client’s windows and doors with equipped with a unique and innovative bird-friendly glazing solution—maintaining the aesthetic transparency of glass while creating visual markers alerting birds to a barrier.

Conscientious customers are increasingly making purchasing decisions based current environmental realities. By using products that reduce energy consumption, one diminishes their environmental footprint, limiting usage of fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.

Synergy windows feature insulating glass manufactured by Cardinal Glass Industries, a leader in the development and manufacture of advanced high performance glass for windows and doors.

testing in-house

testing + ratings Our products consistently meet and exceed the highest recognized standards in the industry.

In addition to the comprehensive quality control program practiced in-house, Synergy tests our windows and doors to all required American and Canadian standards, including ratings such as Air infiltration/Exfiltration, Water Penetration and Forced Entry. Products we manufacture for each project are selected at random and tested in our in house lab.

Testing for compliance currently to AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440-08 (NAFS: North American Fenestration Standard/Specification for windows, doors, and skylights) is ongoing. Independent accredited labs perform various tests on a regular basis. Our NFRC (National Fenestration Ratings Council) listings and ENERGY STAR qualifications are overseen by Keystone Certifications Inc. When it comes to efficiency, a portion of our product offering has even been certified with the prestigious “Most Efficient� award in the Energy Star program for outstanding energy performance.

Synergy product testing often goes beyond the factory or laboratory: we also field test our sizeable projects. This rigorous testing process is part of our commitment to superior performance, ensuring that we are providing the best windows and doors on the market.

New trends in building design and a push from the design community for new products motivated Synergy to expand its cladding options to include a variety of Architectural metals All metals are formed to fit over our exclusive engineered wood substrates giving natural thermal break from exterior cold to warm interiors. All metals can be used on a range of window and door designs for personalized architectural flare Our wide range of wood species include Mahogany, Walnut, Cherry, White Oak, Red oak, Douglas Fir, Hemlock and Pine.
