Product Solution

south-star-bird-safe-glass-final-img

South Star, through its Glaspedia bird safe glass portfolio, offers advanced solutions that integrate safety, durability, and design flexibility:

  1. AvianSafe Grey Dot 01

    A ceramic frit dot pattern fired onto the glass surface, providing high-contrast visibility while maintaining daylight transmission. The frit is permanently bonded, ensuring resistance to UV, abrasion, and weathering, and complies with ASTM and EN standards.

    TF = 25
  2. AvianSafe BIPV 40

    A building-integrated photovoltaic solution that combines renewable energy generation with bird-safe grading. CdTe thin-film cell patterns deter collisions while supporting vision transparency, energy efficiency and bird-friendly compliance.

    TF = 30
  3. Laminated Glass with Bird-Safe Interlayers

    Incorporating Kuraray BirdSecure™ Pro and Eastman Saflex® FlySafe™ 3D Laminate, these laminates embed deterrent patterns within the glass, offering permanent bird protection alongside acoustic insulation, impact resistance, and UV filtering.

    TF from 10 to 29
  4. Digitally Printed Glass

    Using durable Ferro S1de One Series ceramic inks, South Star offers white lines or blue dot patterns fused into the glass, delivering long-term performance and design versatility.

    TF from 17 to 21

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is bird-safe glass and why is it important for modern buildings?
Bird-safe glass is specifically engineered to make glass surfaces visible to birds, preventing fatal collisions. As glass facades become more prevalent in modern architecture, bird strike fatalities have increased significantly. Using bird-safe solutions such as South Star's Glaspedia portfolio helps buildings comply with wildlife protection regulations while maintaining their aesthetic and structural integrity.
QWhat does "Threat Factor (TF)" mean in bird-safe glass evaluation?
The Threat Factor (TF) is a standardized rating used to measure the collision risk a glass product poses to birds. A lower TF indicates better bird safety performance. Products like Saflex FlySafe 3D PVB achieve a TF of less than 10, making them among the most effective bird-deterrent solutions available, while a TF of 25 or above is considered higher risk.
QWhich South Star bird-safe glass product offers the best value for large curtain wall projects?
For large-scale curtain wall projects of approximately 3,000m², the Glaspedia AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 offers the most cost-effective solution at approximately HK$600/sqm, with a 4-week lead time and 10-year warranty. It provides reliable bird safety through a durable ceramic frit dot pattern and complies with ASTM and EN standards.
QCan bird-safe glass also support energy efficiency or sustainability goals?
Yes. The Glaspedia AvianSafe BIPV 40 integrates building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology, combining renewable energy generation with bird-deterrent properties. CdTe thin-film cell patterns provide solar power output while reducing collision risk, making it an ideal solution for green building projects seeking both energy efficiency and wildlife protection certification.
QAre bird-safe interlayer solutions suitable for acoustic and safety requirements as well?
Absolutely. Laminated glass solutions using Kuraray BirdSecure™ Pro and Eastman Saflex® FlySafe™ 3D Laminate offer multifunctional performance. In addition to bird deterrence through embedded visual patterns, these interlayers provide acoustic insulation, impact resistance, and UV filtering — making them well-suited for high-performance facade applications.
QWhat glass thickness options are available for South Star's bird-safe glass products?
Most of South Star's bird-safe glass products, including AvianSafe Grey Dot 01, AvianSafe BIPV 40, and the laminated interlayer options, are available in thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 15mm, accommodating a wide range of structural and design requirements. The Pilkington Avisafe UV-coated glass is available from 6mm to 10mm.
