Preserve™
Spattered paint isn’t the only problem. There’s excess stucco. Slopped mud. Scratched glass. By the time construction is over, the windows are a mess. But if your windows are covered with Preserve™, cleanup is a snap.

Preserve is a clear, removable protective film that we apply on both the inside and outside of insulating glass (IG) units, including those made with our new Loå3-366 (low-e cubed) high-performance glass. So when the job is over, builders simply peel off Preserve and throw it away – along with all the grime, even the labels.

Sol-R^® Shield 270

It’s a perfect glass for fighting the heat. It reduces solar heat gain by 50% or more when compared to ordinary glass. In fact, its solar heat gain coefficient is better than code requirements.
SOL-R^® Shield 270’s patented coating blocks 86% of the sun’s infrared heat. Our solar control glass actually outperforms the tinted glass typically used in hot, sunny areas. And because of its exceptional clarity, the light streams in.
There’s no heavy bronze or smoke-colored tint to spoil the image. Then when cold weather rolls in, SOL-R^® Shield 270 keeps homes cozy by blocking heat loss.

SOL-R^® All Climate 272

Think of SOL-R^® All Climate 272 as invisible insulation. The insulating value of its patented coating is nearly double that of an ordinary insulating glass unit – the equivalent of a quad-glazed window. In winter, SOL-R^® All Climate 272 reflects heat back into the room.
In summer, it rejects the sun’s heat and damaging UV rays. In fact, it blocks enough solar heat that cooling loads can be cut by 25% or more compared to ordinary low-e or clear glass. SOL-R^® All Climate 272 even out performs the tinted glass often used in warm, sunny climates.

SOL-R^® Tint 240

Wherever glare is a problem, Cardinal LoE2-240 glass is the ideal solution. It’s a specially treated version of our finest LoE2 glass.
Unlike other tinted glasses, LoE2-240 provides effective glare control and maximum solar heat blockage – without creating discomfort near the glass inside or the visual nuisance of highly reflective glass outside. But LoE2-240 does much more than control glare.
It also maintains year-round comfort. In summer, it blocks oppressive solar heat gain and maintains cool glass temperatures. Then when winter rolls around, it keeps inside glass temperatures warm. Glare control and comfort-that’s the LoE2-240 advantage.

SOL-R^® Gain 178

SOL-R^® Gain glass allows some of the sun’s radiant heat energy to enter the home to provide passive (and free) home heating while at the same time reducing the heat that escapes from the home.
