20 Year Warranty - Lowest Seal Failure Rate in the Industry!

XL Edge insulating glass comes with the lowest failure rate in the industry - developed in part from Cardinal's 50+ years of experience in manufacturing IG units, with nearly 40 years utilizing a dual-seal silicone system.

Quickest Lead Time!

As the premier Cardinal glass dealer in the Chicagoland area, we offer the shortest lead times for annealed, tempered, shapes, and LoE glass. Cardinal provides lead times as short as three days so be sure to ask a Casco Representative for a product lead time today!

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.

Energy Efficient Coatings

Below are coatings available from Cardinal that may be applied to most glass combination options. These coatings assist in reducing energy costs, fading of furniture/flooring/carpets, and overall making a home more comfortable throughout the seasons. Each coating accomplishes different tasks, ask a sales representative to help work through which is best for different projects.

What is U-Value?

U-Factor measures how well a product can keep heat from escaping from the inside of a room. The lower the number, the better a product is at keeping heat in.

What is SHGC?

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SGHC) measures how well a product can resist unwanted heat gain, which is especially important during summer cooling season. The lower the number, the less you'll spend on cooling.

What is VT?

Visible Transmittance (VT) measures how well a product is designed to effectively light your home with daylight, potentially saving you money on artificial lighting. The higher the number, the more natural light is let in.
