This system is also effective for protecting ornate\u00a0features such as column capitals, embellished tympana and porticos without detracting from the\u00a0aesthetics of the building.\u00a0The net is UV resistant polyethylene and attached by means of BS316 grade stainless steel fixings\u00a0and is fixed taut using tensioned perimeter wires. The result is a high quality tensioned <em>Birdnet<\/em> sealing the perimeter and denying birds access. Correctly installed nets are virtually undetectable\u00a0from the ground.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Avishock &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The new Avishock bird proofing system provides minimum visibility protection and is effective against all bird species in almost any location, making it ideal for proofing listed buildings and sensitive areas.\u00a0Avi shock is a flexible system which utilises a system of track connectors and wires that follows the profile of most surfaces. It even comes in a range of colours to even further camouflage itself.
