Safeguard Your Interiors
from the Effects of Fading
We all love the sun, but it fades and damages carpets, furniture, and other materials inside a home. However, Cardinal’s laminated glass products cut most fade-inducing rays and protects your interior long term.

Measuring Fade
Resistance
Fading potential from the sun is often measured through Ultraviolet Light Transmittance (UVT) and Damaged Weighted Transmission (Tdw-ISO) testing.
Single pane clear glass with a UVT of 73% allows most of the UV energy to come through into the room, offering very little protection.

Enhanced UV Protection
But laminated glass is optimized to block most of the sun’s fade damaging rays so that your interior remains unblemished. For maximum fade control, laminated glass can incorporate LoĒ coatings in an IG configuration.
This combination reduces glare, solar heat gain, and thermal loss while still allowing pleasant visible light to illuminate your rooms.
Fade happens.
