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.

    Threat Factor (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.

    Threat Factor (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.

    Threat Factor (TF) = 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.

    Threat Factor (TF) = 17 to 21

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the Threat Factor (TF) and why does it matter for bird-safe glass?
A The Threat Factor (TF) is a standardized measure of how dangerous a glass surface is to birds. A lower TF score indicates a lower collision risk. Products with a TF below 30 — such as Glaspedia AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 (TF=25) and Saflex FlySafe 3D PVB (TF<10) — are considered bird-friendly and meet international building standards.
Q Which bird-safe glass solution offers the best value for large curtain wall projects?
A For large-scale curtain wall projects (e.g., 3,000m²), the Glaspedia AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 offers competitive pricing at approximately HK$600/sqm with a 4-week lead time and a 10-year warranty, making it an efficient and cost-effective choice without compromising bird safety performance.
Q Can bird-safe glass also generate renewable energy?
A Yes. The AvianSafe BIPV 40 integrates CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells that generate solar energy while simultaneously deterring bird collisions. This building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solution supports both environmental sustainability and bird-friendly compliance, though it comes at a higher material cost (~HK$2,000/sqm).
Q What standards do South Star's bird-safe glass products comply with?
A South Star's Glaspedia bird-safe glass solutions comply with major international standards including ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and EN (European Norm) standards. The ceramic frit patterns are permanently bonded and tested for UV resistance, abrasion, and long-term weathering performance.
Q How long does it take to deliver bird-safe glass, and what warranty is provided?
A Lead times vary by product: AvianSafe Grey Dot 01 ships in 4 weeks, while laminated interlayer options (Trosifol Bird Secure Pro) may take 5–6 months. All products in the Glaspedia portfolio are backed by a 10-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance for architectural projects.
Q Are bird-safe glass patterns visible to building occupants or do they affect aesthetics?
A South Star's bird-safe glass solutions are designed to balance bird deterrence with architectural aesthetics. Products such as digitally printed glass using Ferro S1de One Series ceramic inks and laminated interlayers offer various pattern sizes and configurations, allowing architects to achieve bird-friendly compliance while maintaining visual transparency and design flexibility.
