Space Age Manufacturing
Cardinal Insulated Glass leads the glass production industry by maintaining the highest quality standards and through the development of industry-leading processes that meet or exceed customersโ glass specifications. Cardinalโs signature seal for quality is theirย Intelligent Quality Assurance Program.
Every piece of glass is checked from start to finish. These inspections rely on calibrated scientific instrumentation. Therefore, results are objective, not subject to human interpretation. Certainly, this assures theirย plant-to-plant uniformity and consistency. Whatโs more theirย research and development department continues pushing the envelope on glass technology by bringing new benefits, manufacturing processes, coating and inspection systems.
Cardinal’sย Intelligent Quality Assurance Program is your assurance thatย Cardinal Insulated Glass will always fulfill or exceed expectations. From float glass to insulating glass units, custom tempering and lamination or any of our energy-saving Loฤ™ coatings, quality is fundamental.
Reliability
A lot of manufacturers talk about performance, i.e., U-Factors and SHGCs. But what about durability? Performance over the long haul?
Thatโs where Endur IG™ excels. Endur IG continues the Cardinal Insulated Glass tradition of long-term performance. It delivers the industryโs lowest failure rate, the only comprehensive 20-year factory warranty plus outstanding thermal performance and solar control.
Exceptional longevity and performance … thatโs how we help protect your brand and your reputation. New Endur IG, what the future of insulating glass looks like.
With over 500,000,000 IG units under warranty, Cardinal Insulated Glass knows a thing or two about building long-lasting IG units. Theirย units have proven themselves over and over in the field and in the lab.
Performance
For years, Cardinal LoE glass has been setting the standard for energy-efficient glass. Theirย patented, state-of-the-art sputtered coatings are unmatched by any other glass manufacturer. Theirย high transmission coatings are virtually clear, blocking the heat and reducing solar gain, while optimizing light transmission.
LoE Coating Terminology:
LoE-272 Equals two layers of silver, 72% light transmission for a double-pane IG unit
LoE-i89 Equals Indium Tin Oxide coating with monolithic transmission of 89%
HIGH SOLAR GAIN GLASSย [One silver layer] Cardinal LoE-180 is theย perfect cold remedy.ย Ideal for passive solarย applications, it allowsย winter sunโs heat toย pass into the homeย while blocking heatย loss to the outside. |
ADVANCED PERFORMANCEย GLASS FOR MOST CLIMATESย [Two silver layers] Where additional solarย control is required, withย very little sacrifice inย visibility, LoE2-270 is theย ideal choice. Its patentedย coating blocks 86% of theย sunโs infrared heat andย 86% of the sunโs harmfulย UV rays. |
ULTIMATE PERFORMANCEย GLASS FOR ALL CLIMATESย [Three silver layers] The new standard,ย LoE3-366 deliversย the perfect balance ofย solar control and highย visibility โ with no room darkeningย tints andย virtually no exteriorย reflectance. It providesย the highest levels ofย year-round comfort andย energy savings, making itย the perfect glass for anyย location. The secret?ย An unprecedented threeย layers of silver. |
LOW SOLAR GAIN GLASSย [Three silver layers] LoE3-340 provides anย industry-leading Solarย Heat Gain Coefficientย (SHGC) of 0.18 in aย double-pane unit withoutย the use of tinted glass.ย Thereโs no need to sacrificeย significant visibleย light transmission withย a Light to Solar Gainย (LSG) ratio of 2.17. |
Neat Low Maintenance Glass
Cardinal Insulated Glass features optional Neat naturally clean glass. It harnesses the sunโs UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away, leaving windows virtually spotless. Your windows will stay cleaner longer and will clean easier.
The titanium dioxide layer of Neat glass reacts chemically with the sunโs UV rays and causes organic materials that are on the glass to decompose. It works even on cloudy days, as 80% of UV radiation gets through cloud cover. Thus when it rains, the decomposed dirt no longer clings to the glass, easily rinsing away.
Neat glass is ultra smooth. A thin layer of silicon dioxide makes Neat glass exceptionally smooth and hydrophilic, much smoother than ordinary hydrophobic glass. This allows water to disperse evenly or โsheet offโ and evaporate quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
Easier to clean window glass just got better with Cardinalโs Neat naturally clean glass. No manual activation required, just a little help from the sun. The results are almost spotless windows, less time cleaning and more time enjoying the view.
Preserve Film
When you are done with a new or remodeled house, filthy or scratched windows can take the wind out of the homeownerโs sails. Post-construction cleanup is also an annoyance, as you spend time and money cleaning instead of moving on to the next job.
Cardinal’s Preserve™ window film provides an end-to-end solution to dirty and marred windows. Pre-applied on Cardinal Insulated Glass units, Preserve film protects everybodyโs interests, whether it be the window manufacturer, construction supplier or contractor. Most importantly, it protects your relationship with the homeowner, as they get perfect, clean windows every time.
Preserve is the clear solution to window protection. This patented film defends your glass. Factory-applied to both the outer and inner surfaces in overlapping layers, it ensures that the entire glass surface is protected.
