Steel On It

[ Products & technologies — TIKOL ]

TIKOL.

The minimal stainless-steel bird deterrent.

Discreet, durable and effective protection for buildings, commercial premises and industrial settings. A slim profile of formed steel that discourages birds from perching without altering the architecture.

TIKOL T25 and T80 stainless-steel modules

01 — Why TIKOL

Designed to disappear. Built to last.

01

Discreet and minimal

A slim metal profile that blends with cornices, sills and signs, with minimal visual impact.

02

Weather resistant

Stainless steel made for outdoor use: sun, rain and temperature swings do not compromise its function.

03

Respectful of people, animals and the environment

No shocks, no chemicals, no blades: it discourages perching without harming birds.

04

Easy to install

Lightweight modules that fix quickly with common methods, no special equipment required.

05

Adapts to curved surfaces

The steel strip follows straight and curved profiles, arches and shaped cornices.

06

Less maintenance and cleaning

Fewer birds resting means less dirt and fewer cleaning interventions on protected surfaces.

02 — How it works

No comfortable perch. No harm.

[ FIG. 02 // APPROACH — ATTEMPT — EXIT ]

01

An unusable surface

The elements formed in the steel make perching unstable: the bird finds no comfortable spot and moves elsewhere.

02

Deterrence, not harm

The system discourages without injuring. No traps, no shocks: simply a surface where stopping isn’t worth it.

03

Minimal visual impact

From a few metres away, the metal profile merges with the lines of the building.

09 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

01Is it easy to install?

Yes. The modules are lightweight and fix with common methods such as screws, technical adhesives, silicone, cable ties or Velcro, depending on the surface.

02How long does it last?

TIKOL is made of work-hardened 301 stainless steel, a material chosen for outdoor use and long life. Actual durability depends on the installation setting.

03Does it harm birds?

No. The system uses no shocks, substances or blades: it makes the surface uncomfortable to perch on, so the bird moves elsewhere.

04Is it visually intrusive?

The profile is slim and metallic: from a few metres away it blends with the lines of the architecture.

05Where can it be installed?

On cornices, sills, signs, porticoes, balconies, beams, residential, commercial and industrial buildings, warehouses and sensitive architectural settings.
