Cardinal Glass Industries

Cardinal Glass Industries is a leading manufacturer of residential glass in the USA, with 49 facilities and over 10,000 employees. It has maintained its industry leadership for a long time, introducing innovations in the world of glass technology.

Cardinal Insulating Glass (IG) boasts the industry's lowest insulating glass failure rate, with fewer than 0.2% of all units experiencing issues over a 20-year period. As a leading automated glass manufacturer, Cardinal consistently produces highly durable, consistently uniform, and impeccably clean insulating glass units that are distributed across the nation.

INSULATING CARDINAL GLASS OPTIONS

Cardinal Glass Ind stands out as the foremost automated glass supplier nationwide, providing an extensive array of personalized glass solutions.

Made up of either two (double) or three (triple) layers of glass, insulated glass is highly effective in minimizing noise and aiding in temperature regulation. Metal edge spacers are used to close any gaps between the panes, ensuring that the enclosed air space stays free from moisture.

ENDUR IG

The ultimate warm edge IG

Endur IG is a robust, thermally efficient insulating glass system with the industry's lowest seal failure rate after 20 years.

Its design includes a patented warm-edge spacer, stainless-steel construction, and advanced seals for enhanced condensation resistance and extended lifespan.

Components consist of a stainless-steel spacer, PIB primary seal, molecular sieve desiccants, and silicone secondary seal.

Endur IG features Cardinal's LoĒ coatings for superior thermal performance and comes with a substantial warranty.

PRESERVE

Glass protection through installation

Preserve™ window film, a patented solution for Cardinal insulating glass units, safeguards windows from debris during delivery to installation.

Removal within six months is recommended without pressure washing, and caution is advised against using acid or razor blades.

XL EDGE

Long-lasting IG spacer system

XL Edge is a warm-edge insulating glass unit with a 20-year warranty and a 0.2% failure rate over two decades.

It features a stainless steel spacer with a dual-seal system, reducing indoor condensation risk.

With over 50 years of manufacturing experience, XL Edge offers a 20-year, 150% credit warranty, serving as a reliable insurance policy for window businesses.

⠀LoĒ³-366⠀

LoĒ³-366 achieves an optimal blend of solar control and excellent visibility while delivering superior comfort and energy efficiency throughout the year. This glass is designed to meet ENERGY STAR requirements in every zone, even when used in a double-pane window. it suitable for compliance across the rest of the country. It stands as the ideal glass solution, regardless of your location.

⠀LoĒ³-340⠀

Innovative LoĒ³-340 glass sets a new standard for solar performance in double-pane units, eliminating the need for room-darkening tint. Boasting an impressively low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of only 0.18, it significantly minimizes uncomfortable solar heat gain. When colder temperatures set in, its low U-Factor comes into play, effectively reducing heat loss indoors.

⠀LoĒ²-272⠀

Cardinal's LoĒ²-272 coated glass ensures year-round comfort by effectively managing various weather conditions. During summer, it deflects the sun's heat and harmful UV rays, while in winter, it reflects heat back into the room. LoĒ²-272 offers slightly higher light transmittance, providing a brighter interior.

⠀LoĒ²-270⠀

Cardinal's LoĒ²-270 coated glass ensures year-round comfort by effectively managing various weather conditions. During summer, it deflects the sun's heat and harmful UV rays, while in winter, it reflects heat back into the room. LoĒ²-270 focuses more on solar control, minimizing heat penetration.

⠀LoĒ²-240

Cardinal LoĒ²-240® glass is the perfect solution for glare issues, offering year-round comfort. It effectively blocks solar heat gain in the summer and keeps glass temperatures warm in the winter. Unlike other tinted glass options, LoĒ²-240 maintains consistent appearance and performance across various glass thicknesses, as it is a coating applied to clear glass.

⠀LoĒ-189⠀

LoĒ-i89™ is a new energy-saving glass with a 4th surface coating. Nevertheless, it maintains a center-of-glass U-factor of just 0.20 when combined with our LoĒ³ or LoĒ² glass and argon fill in a double-pane unit. What's more, LoĒ-i89 is easy to clean, and there's no haze to mar the view.

⠀LoĒ-180⠀

In chilly weather, Cardinal LoĒ-180™ glass serves as the perfect solution, keeping homes cozy by preventing heat loss and allowing sunlight to penetrate. With a low glass U-Factor of 0.26 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.69, LoĒ-180 excels in passive solar applications, providing both warmth and energy efficiency.

⠀Neat+

With Neat+, exterior window surfaces demand less frequent maintenance, and when cleaning is necessary, it becomes a quicker and easier process. Neat+ employs static dissipation to minimize dust accumulation on the window surface. Additionally, it harnesses the power of sunlight to break down greenhouse gases and pollutants, contributing to a naturally cleaner window.

FEATURES

Cardinal offers a diverse array of options, from Low-E glass in various types and hues to obscure glass in myriad patterns, grille configurations, and customizable dual and triple pane units. The spectrum of possibilities extends to custom shapes and designs, including arched and radius glass, concave radius shapes, and a selection of tempered, heat-strengthened, and laminated safety glass. With Cardinal, the pursuit of perfection extends to every facet, including different spacer and color combinations, along with the option for custom-cut template glass.

20 YEAR WARRANTY

XL Edge insulating glass boasts the industry's minimal failure rate, a result of Cardinal's 50+ years crafting IG units, with nearly 40 years employing a dual-seal silicone system.

QUICKEST LEAD TIME

Cardinal delivers unparalleled service with lead times as short as three days, underlining our commitment to efficiency and customer satisfaction

XL EDGE SPACER SYSTEM
Cardinal provides a 20-year guarantee on XL Edge units because of their advanced design and fabrication. XL Edge is at the leading edge, incorporating a stainless steel spacer with airtight bent corners and a dual-seal construction of compressed polyisobutylene (PIB) and silicone. Desiccants are contained in the spacer to eliminate any potential for moisture. Argon is filled inside the IG unit, improving window U-factor. Since XL Edge is a warm-edge IG, the possibility of indoor condensation is greatly reduced.

Cardinal's superior IG construction translates into a 0.2% seal failure rate over twenty years - plainly the lowest in the industry. To compare, the well-established 1976 Sealed Insulating Glass Manufacturing Association (SIGMA) study identifies average industry IG failures of over 9% in fifteen years. Modern competitive spacer systems simply cannot match the long-term durability characteristics of XL Edge IG. Even older Cardinal technologies, like IG with aluminum spacers and polysulfide or PIB, didn't stack up against XL Edge.

U-Value (U-Factor) quantifies the ability of a product to retain heat within a room. It is a measure of thermal insulation, with lower values indicating better heat retention.

SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient) assesses a product's resistance to unwanted heat gain, particularly crucial during the summer cooling season. A lower SHGC signifies reduced spending on cooling as the product is more effective in blocking heat.

VT (Visible Transmittance) measures a product's capability to illuminate a home with natural daylight, potentially reducing reliance on artificial lighting. A higher VT value indicates that more natural light is allowed into the space.
