Walker Glass is pleased to announce the low e coating component of its highly anticipated AviProtek® Turbo bird friendly glass offering, as previewed at GlassBuild last fall. Launched in 2025, Walker’s uncoated AviProtek® Turbo program boasts well over five hundred thousand square feet of product already sold and installed.
AviProtek® Turbo was designed to meet the demands of large-scale architectural work with compressed schedules. Its streamlined production process and larger stock sheet sizes enable high volumes, short lead times, and compatibility with the trend toward large glazed openings, all at a competitive price. The result is a bird friendly glass solution that lives up to its tagline, “Faster. Bigger. Better.”
Walker’s Vice President of Products and Business Development, Marc Deschamps, explains Turbo’s purpose: “For Walker, it was critical to develop a higher-volume offering that could keep pace with larger projects. The market has grown, and we’re now supplying glass for buildings that require multiple truckloads in a short timeframe. Turbo’s highly efficient production process allows us to meet that need and secure those projects.”
Charles Alexander, Senior Vice-President of Sales and Marketing, adds, “Turbo has been in development for some time and reflects our long-standing commitment to leadership in the bird friendly glass space. AviProtek® Turbo is entering the market as a proven solution. This solution is launched and performing very well in a highly competitive environment. We’re faster, able to optimize cutting requirements due to our bigger sizing, and highly cost competitive due to the efficiency of our process.”
AviProtek® Turbo is now available with or without low e coatings on surface two, in multiple stock sheet sizes, thicknesses, and substrates. It includes three dot patterns that comply with bird friendly design requirements across the U.S. and Canada, for projects requiring either 2×4 or 2×2 spacing of bird friendly markers.
