To provide the safest and most efficient habitat for the Tropical Rainforest’s birds, Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) provided 19,600 square-feet of *Starphire Ultra-Clear****®*** glass featuring *AviProtek****®*** bird-friendly Velour acid-etched finish by Walker Glass to deliver a variety of performance features. In this video, Architectural Manager Emily Dritz describes the myriad of unique traits that contribute to efficient glass for birds and visitors alike, as well as the key players in the installation process.
