New Quad 452+
New Quad 452+ is a true four-layer silver coating with exceptionally low emissivity, 99% UV protection, low exterior reflection and superior solar control. It also comes standard with Neat+™ — an exterior coating that stays cleaner longer and is easy on the environment. In hot, sunny climates, Quad 452+ clearly outshines ordinary window glass. It is formulated specifically to manage solar heat gain while maintaining clear views, taking more of the burden off the AC unit to keep conditions comfortable inside. The low emissivity of Quad 452+ glass also means warmer rooms during winter.
Neat+
Standard on all Quad 452+ glass and featuring 25% higher photocatalytic activity than original Neat®, Neat+ repels 40% more dust and dirt than uncoated glass.
Neat+ incorporates titanium dioxide that reacts with the sun’s UV rays to also break down greenhouse gases such as methane to further clean the window. This saves homeowners time while requiring less water and chemicals, helping to reduce environmental impact. With sufficient UV radiation, water will sheet away, improving drying time.
Maximum Heat Control for Winter
LoĒ-i89™ is our energy-saving 4th surface coated glass. It offers excellent visible light transmittance and low reflectance. Yet it delivers a center-of-glass U-factor of just 0.20 when coupled with our LoĒ³ Rather than absorbing internal heat, LoĒ-i89 reflects it back into the room, making your living space feel warmer and more comfortable.
Wherever heat and glare are a problem, Cardinal’s LoĒ³-340® glass is an ideal solution. With unparalleled solar performance and optimum glare protection, LoĒ³-340 keep the sun in its place.
Its SHGC of 0.18 slashes the sun’s thermal energy. And wherever glare is a problem, LoĒ³-340 keeps it in check.
LoĒ³-340 delivers the lowest UV blocking of any LoĒ glass we offer. This greatly reduces fading on furniture, carpet, drapes, and everything inside the home.
Industry’s Lowest Failure Rate
XL Edge IG comes with the lowest failure rate in the industry: an incredible 0.2% over twenty years.
XL Edge is a leading-edge stainless steel spacer with airtight bent corners and a dual-seal construction of compressed polyisobutylene (PIB) and silicone. Desiccants eliminate any potential for moisture. Argon fill improves window U-factor. Since XL Edge is a warm-edge IG, the possibility of indoor condensation is greatly reduced.
Preserve
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 all the way through installation of windows.
