Cardinal’s The Best Insulated Coated Glass Unit In The World

Not all glass is created equal. So, as a dealer, what type of glass from Cardinal IG is right for your next Western Window Systems project?
“With the vast array of options that Cardinal brings to the table,” says Andrew Darr, vice president of custom sales at Western Window Systems, “our dealer partners can customize a glass package for a specific climate.”
To help you in your decision making, here’s a handy guide.

LoE-i89 Cardinal’s new winter-performance glass, LoE-i89, can help achieve better U-values in Western Window Systems’ classic family of products, like the Series 600 Multi-Slide Door. With i89 glass, homeowners will get triple-pane performance from Western Window Systems’ dual-pane products. And LoE-i89 glass features less reflectance and more light transmittance while delivering a U-value of 0.20 in an argon-filled dual-pane unit, making it compliant with Energy Star guidelines and perfect in high-altitude homes.
On top of the LoE-i89’s energy-efficiency benefits, the glass is smooth and scratch resistant, so it’s easier to clean and doesn’t leave a haze to diminish a homeowner’s view. And Cardinal glass’ durability is unmatched, with a failure rate of just 0.20 percent over 20 years, the lowest in the industry.

LoE-180 Cardinal’s LoE-180 glass is ideal for passive solar designs. With a U-value of 0.26 and impressive solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of .0.69, the LoE-180 option helps keep homes warmer in frigid weather by letting the winter sun into the home while reducing heat loss because of thin but invisible layer of silver applied between layers of anti-reflective metal oxide coatings.

LoE-272 Who says you can’t do anything about the weather? Cardinal's LoĒ² coated glass delivers year-round comfort in all types of weather. In summer, it rejects the sun’s heat and damaging UV rays. In winter, it reflects heat back into the room.
Regardless of where your home is located, choosing windows that provide you with the highest level of comfort and energy savings year-round is extremely important. And choosing the right glass for your windows is the most important factor in that decision. Go beyond ordinary low-e glass.

LoE-366 LoĒ³-366 delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. And it provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings. It’s also the one glass you can use to be compliant in every ENERGY STAR zone – in a double-pane window.
AWhen the temperature soars, ordinary window glass just can’t handle the heat. And tinted glass spoils the view. Cardinal LoĒ³-366, however, has been specially formulated to reject the sun’s heat without affecting the view. It lets more light in and keeps more heat out. So your home stays cool and comfortable. Our patented LoĒ³-366 coating provides the ultimate in performance of all our LoĒ products.

Neat Glass Finally, where rain is common, Cardinal’s Neat Glass option gives appearance-conscious homeowners a glass that provides clear views and almost spotless conditions. The ultra-smooth glass, with its thin layer of silicon dioxide, allows water to “sheet off” and evaporate quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
