For Consumers

Cardinal serves the residential window and door community with state of the art glass. If you are in the market to buy new windows, you can request that Cardinal technology be part of your next purchase. How?

Often, this involves speaking directly to your architect, builder or contractor, asking for window configurations that include Cardinal technologies. Or, if you are a do-it-yourselfer, you can request information from any window supplier as to which products specifically include glass from Cardinal. You’ll find that many window manufacturers in North America are also Cardinal customers.

When making a window purchase, here are some things to consider:
