Glaspedia Bird-Safe Glass

,

In North America alone, approximately 600 million birds fall victim to window collisions each year. To combat this alarming issue, several cities, including Toronto, established mandatory bird-safe glass guidelines in 201Additionally, green building rating systems like LEED Innovation: Bird Collision Deterrence and Beam Plus V2.0 SS7 now incentivize wildlife-friendly architectural features. Our bird-safe glass adheres to the essential 2x4 rule, with visible markers ensuring birds recognize glass facades as obstacles. Even a 5% coverage can significantly enhance safety. It's crucial for these products to undergo third-party testing; the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Test designates a Threat Factor (TF) below 30 as bird-friendly, while glass with a TF ≤ 25 is rated as highly effective. As a leading supplier in China, we provide bird-safe glass that meets these stringent standards, ensuring both safety for wildlife and compliance with contemporary building regulations.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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
Q What is bird-safe glass and how does it work?
Bird-safe glass is specially designed glazing that incorporates visible patterns, coatings, or interlayers to make the glass detectable to birds in flight, preventing collisions. These patterns can include ceramic frit dots, printed lines, UV coatings, or embedded interlayer films that break up the reflective or transparent appearance of standard glass.
Q What is a Threat Factor (TF) and what rating is considered bird-safe?
The Threat Factor (TF) is a standardized metric used to assess how dangerous a glass panel is to birds. A lower TF score indicates a safer product. Generally, a TF of 30 or below is considered bird-safe. South Star's Glaspedia products range from TF <10 to TF 30, with most falling well within safe thresholds.
Q Which South Star bird-safe glass product offers the best value for large curtain wall projects?
For large-scale curtain wall projects, the Glaspedia AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 offers the most competitive pricing at approximately HK$600/sqm for a 3,000m² installation, with a 4-week lead time and a 10-year warranty. It also delivers a solid TF of 25, making it both cost-effective and compliant with bird-safe standards.
Q Can bird-safe glass also support energy efficiency in buildings?
Yes. The AvianSafe BIPV 40 integrates CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells into the glass, enabling the building envelope to generate renewable energy while simultaneously deterring bird collisions. This makes it an ideal solution for sustainable architecture seeking both BIPV functionality and bird-friendly compliance.
Q What glass thicknesses are available for South Star's bird-safe products?
Most products in the Glaspedia range, including AvianSafe Grey Dot 01, AvianSafe BIPV 40, Trosifol Bird Secure Pro, Saflex FlySafe 3D PVB, and Dip-tech 1st Surface Frit, are available in glass thicknesses from 6mm to 15mm. The Pilkington Avisafe UV coated glass is available from 6mm to 10mm.
Q Are South Star's bird-safe glass solutions compliant with international standards?
Yes. South Star's bird-safe glass products are designed to comply with international standards including ASTM and EN certifications. The ceramic frit and digitally printed options undergo rigorous testing for UV resistance, abrasion, weathering, and long-term durability to ensure they meet both bird-safety and structural performance requirements.
