ENGINEERING THE FUTURE OF COATED GLASS
Cardinal Loå³-366® glass is the ultimate performance
glass. It just might make all other low-e glass obsolete.
Loå³-366 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. Couple it with Loå-i89®, and
you’re compliant in the North. Its low SHGC makes it
compliant throughout the rest of the country as well.
It’s the perfect glass wherever you live.
When the temperature

soars, ordinary window
glass just can’t handle the
heat. And tinted glass spoils
the view. Cardinal Loå³-366,
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 Loå³-366 coating
provides the ultimate in
performance of all our
Loå products.
Beats the heat.

Keeps the view.
What’s more, Loå³-366
provides exceptional fading
protection as well. It blocks
95% of the sun’s damaging
ultraviolet rays (a leading
cause of fading), so it will
help your furniture, carpets,
curtains and wall coverings
stay beautiful for years
to come.
During cold weather, the insulating
effect of your windows has a direct
impact on how your rooms feel.
Typically, 75% of the exposed
surface of a window is glass, and
the temperature of the room-side
of the glass directly affects the air
temperature in the room. The
better insulated the window glass,
the warmer your room will be.
In fact, the Efficient Windows
It’s the perfect

Collaborative (www.efficientwin-
dows.org) suggests that when
cold remedy
glass surface temperatures fall
below 52°F, there is a risk of
thermal discomfort. To maintain
the best comfort during the winter,
select a glass product that produc-
es surface temperatures that will
stay above this point during
the coldest outdoor conditions.

The superior insulating capability of Cardinal Loå³-366 is a key factor in the construction of comfortable windows for cold climates. The dramatic comfort improvement from windows with
warm glass surfaces also means the relative humidity of the indoor air can be controlled and maintained properly. Proper humidity levels (not too much, not too little) will improve comfort
and promote a healthier living environment.
A unique triple-layer coating.
For years, Cardinal has been setting

the standard for energy efficient
glass. Top-of-the-line residential
window and door manufacturers all 2 Pane
rely on our high quality. Our patent- Clear Glass
ed state-of-the-art sputter coating
processes are unmatched by any
Ordinary
other glass manufacturer.
Low-E Glass
Now we’ve raised the bar. Loå³-366
adds a third layer of silver coating.
Result: a clear coating that blocks Loå3-366
even more solar gain, reflects heat,
and lets the light stream in. Loå³-
366 actually outperforms the tinted
glass often used in warm climates.
ENERGY STAR, everywhere.
The goal of the ENERGY STAR

Windows program is to be better
than code. Loå³-366 is the one
low-E product that can qualify in
all four climate zones: superior
insulating value in the North, and
clear solar control for everywhere
else in the country.
