Glaspedia Bird-Safe Glass

,

In North America, approximately 600 million birds perish annually due to window collisions. To combat this issue, cities like Toronto implemented mandatory bird-safe glass regulations in 201Rating systems such as LEED Innovation: Bird Collision Deterrence and Beam Plus V2.0 SS7 now recognize buildings that incorporate wildlife-friendly features. Our bird-safe glass utilizes visible markers based on the 2x4 rule (≤2 horizontal, ≤4 vertical spacing), helping birds recognize facades as obstacles. Even a 5% coverage can significantly reduce bird collisions. As a leading supplier in China, our products undergo rigorous third-party testing, with the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Test ensuring a Threat Factor (TF) below 30 for bird-friendly classification. Glass with a TF of ≤25 is regarded as highly effective in protecting avian life. Choose our factory-manufactured bird-safe glass to contribute to wildlife conservation while enhancing your building's safety.

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:

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
Q What is the Threat Factor (TF) and why does it matter for bird-safe glass?
The Threat Factor (TF) is a standardized rating that measures how dangerous a glass surface is to birds. A lower TF indicates a safer glass product. South Star's Glaspedia portfolio offers solutions ranging from TF <10 (Saflex FlySafe 3D PVB) to TF 25 (AvianSafe Grey Dot 01), helping architects choose the right level of bird protection for their project requirements.
Q What is the difference between AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 and AvianSafe BIPV 40?
AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 uses a ceramic frit dot pattern permanently fired onto the glass surface for high-contrast bird visibility, with a TF of 25 and a lead time of approximately 4 weeks. AvianSafe BIPV 40 is a building-integrated photovoltaic solution that incorporates CdTe thin-film cells to simultaneously generate renewable energy and deter bird collisions, with a TF of 20 but a higher cost of approximately HK$2,000/sqm.
Q Which bird-safe glass solution offers the lowest Threat Factor?
Among the Glaspedia portfolio, the Saflex FlySafe™ 3D PVB interlayer achieves a Threat Factor of less than 10, making it the most bird-safe option available. This laminated interlayer solution embeds deterrent patterns within the glass and also provides acoustic insulation, UV filtering, and impact resistance.
Q Are South Star's bird-safe glass products compliant with international building standards?
Yes. South Star's Glaspedia bird-safe glass products comply with recognized international standards including ASTM and EN specifications. Each solution is tested for durability against UV exposure, abrasion, and weathering, ensuring long-term performance in demanding architectural environments.
Q What glass thicknesses are available for the Glaspedia bird-safe glass range?
Most Glaspedia products, including AvianSafe Grey Dot 01, AvianSafe BIPV 40, Trosifol Bird Secure Pro, Saflex FlySafe 3D PVB, and Dip-tech Frit, are available in glass thicknesses from 6mm to 15mm. The Pilkington Avisafe UV coated glass is available in thicknesses from 6mm to 10mm.
Q How long is the warranty on South Star Glaspedia bird-safe glass products?
All products in the Glaspedia bird-safe glass portfolio come with a 10-year warranty, covering the integrity and performance of the bird-deterrent patterns and glass construction. This warranty applies across all product types, including frit patterns, PVB interlayers, BIPV solutions, and UV coatings.
