sedak combines the architectural requirement for maximum transparency (overall printed area is less than 1%) and the desire for responsible construction via a highly effective print pattern – usable up to a format of 3.3m x 18m. 

No other bird protection glass achieves such a high level of protection with such minimal printed area (less than 1%). Depending on customer preferences, two versions are offered: either dots or squares arranged in a uniform grid. These patterns are applied to exterior glass surfaces using a ceramic digital printing process (POS1), ensuring scratch and UV resistance. Additionally, the Side One printing system enhances visibility of the bird protection while reducing bird approach rates to below 10%. sedak provides bird protection glass that surpasses other comparable solutions in effectiveness.

The sedak bird protection glass underwent rigorous testing in flight tunnel experiments conducted by the esteemed test center "Biologische Station Hohenau-Ringeldorf (AT)" and received a "recommended" rating. According to the findings, "With a result (...), this marking system stands as one of the most thoroughly tested to date, encompassing reflections, and is highly recommended for its effectiveness."

The specified values refer to the tested and recommended grid in the color tone Black. It is possible to change the print color. sedak offers a visual and also effective alternative with printing using precious metal colors. The printed image and color tone have a discreet, elegant and aesthetic effect.

Application fields

high-rise buildings & panorama windows. high-rise buildings with extensive panorama windows pose a significant risk to birds due to the large uninterrupted glass surfaces. These buildings often reflect the sky or surrounding landscape, which can confuse birds and lead to collisions

green buildings. Buildings situated in or near natural areas such as parks, wetlands, or forests can disrupt bird habitats and migration routes. Green buildings with glass features, such as conservatories or eco-friendly structures, need to consider bird protection measures to minimize their impact on local bird populations.

atriums/skylights. Buildings with atriums, courtyards, or skylights often feature large glass surfaces that pose risks to birds. These structures can be especially problematic if they contain vegetation or water features, which attract birds.

cultural institutions. Buildings such as museums, libraries, and educational facilities often incorporate architectural features like large windows or glass facades for aesthetic purposes. Implementing bird protection measures in these buildings aligns with their missions of environmental stewardship and education.
