Special Services
Occasionally, there are Nixalite® strip installations that require on-site improvisation. The shape, condition or composition of the installation
surface may require alternate fastening methods. This can range from an adhesive installation to the fabrication of special forms. After nearly
50 years, Nixalite® can recognize these special applications and provide recommendations before problems arise. Examples of special
services (not limited to):
Custom Form Design and Fabrication
Nixalite® can design special forms to aid in the fastening of the Nixalite® strips to difficult surfaces. A couple of examples are the I-Beam
Clamp and the Ridge Caps that are now regular installation accessories.
Mounting Hardware Templates
When working with identical, repetitive or long uninterrupted surfaces, a template marking where the mounting hardware goes, speeds
installation by eliminating layout time. Nixalite® of America Inc can supply plans for making the template.
Special Procedure Instructions
For out-of-the-ordinary installations, special instructions may be needed. Nixalite® can provide installation instruction for almost any situation.
If you are not sure how to go about an installation, call 1-800-624-1189 and just say "help."

Nixalite Problem Solvers
When the US Coast Guard had trouble with seagulls blotting out solar panels that powered solar buoys, they called Nixalite® of America Inc.
Nixalite's planning department designed a simple yet effective form that fastened the Nixalite® strips to the buoy without touching the delicate
photocells. Since that time the Coast Guard has widened its delivery of Nixalite® to include Coast Guard Cutters.
Northeast utilities inquired about a system of control for birds and climbing animals. It seems that these troublesome pests were setting up
housekeeping in their substations and occasionally damaging electrical equipment. Nixalite® recommended using the needle strips to keep
birds off of specific hardware and as a barrier for fence perimeters to keep out climbing pests. After a trial installation, Northeast Utilities
"Nixalized" the substations.
Sometimes Nixalite® is used to protect endangered animals from other predatory animals. The US Humane Society in conjunction with the
Bureau of Land Management asked Nixalite® of America Inc. to help with an unusual problem The endangered desert tortoise, found in the
desert southwest United States, was under attack from marauding ravens. Nixalite® installed its needle strips on the prominent perches and
the border fence of the reserve, keeping the ravens from using the perches for hunting the endangered tortoise.
