Transparency and bird protection

Saflex® FlySafe™ 3D certification for glass Marte

Go Back

Bird protection is no longer just a concern for ornithologists and conservationists, but is now equally important to business, politics and society. Glas Marte has been addressing this issue for many years and continuously invests in research and development to offer innovative solutions. With Saflex® FlySafe™ 3D, Glas Marte is adding to its own bird protection measures with a solution that is highly effective and certified as ‘bird-friendly’.

Innovative technology, aesthetic appearance

Saflex® FlySafe™ 3D technology is based on 3D sequins applied in a precise grid pattern on a PVB film. The film is incorporated into laminated glass using standard manufacturing processes and is available with two sequin sizes, 6 or 9 mm in diameter. The sequins shine on the outside, absorb light at different angles and reflect it in a way that effectively warns birds of the glass surface. On the inside, the sequins are matt and arranged so that they do not impair aesthetics or visibility.

Glass architecture with bird protection

With the introduction of Saflex® FlySafe™ 3D technology, Glas Marte is once again underlining its commitment to bird protection and offering construction companies, architects and designers customised solutions for realising their visions in glass in a way that is both bird-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Integrating bird protection into the planning stage from the outset provides effective protection for birds – without any additional costs or delays in the construction process.
 

With UNIGLAS® BIRDSENSE, Glas Marte creates customised glass solutions that perfectly combine effective bird protection with contemporary architecture.
