Technical Description

H3 Advantage

When we introduced our mid-priced H3 window, Window & Door magazine gave it the Crystal Achievement Award for innovation. Since then, we’ve made it even better. It’s now the most successful product we’ve ever introduced.

Advanced Fusion Technology™
The H3 integrates three perfect materials–extruded aluminum, vinyl and solid wood–into one perfect window. This Advanced Fusion Technology results in improved energy efficiency & performance, noticeably enhanced aesthetics, an extreme seal, and easier installation.

Our installation secret: time is money
The H3 isn’t just remarkably advanced. It’s also remarkably easy to install and finish. A rigid nailing fin is integral to H3 windows.

Greater structural integrity, an improved water barrier and the virtual elimination of racking problems.
Innovative snap-lock design means no unsightly screws or fasteners on the interior and few nail holes to fill.
The bottom line: you save time. And time is money.

Performance Glass

Super Sun Blocker
With an amazing triple layer of silver Super Sun Blocker glazing delivers an ideal balance of thermal performance, solar control, 95% UV protection and high visibility.
Super-Sun-Blocker

Low-E 366
Cardinal’s Low-E 366 is nearly identical to Super Sun Blocker in technology and performance. However, Super Sun Blocker is significantly more affordable.

Our Low-E 366 is available in 3 versions: standard; Low-E 366 with Preserve® protective film (it peels off after installation so all the splattered paint and construction dirt peel off too); and Low-E 366 with Preserve and Neat® (an ultra-smooth exterior coating that harnesses UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away almost spotlessly).

Super Sun Blocker With IS-15 Coating
To meet the 2013 Energy Star® standards, we start with all the attributes of triple silver Super Sun Blocker, then add ClimaGuard IS-15. IS-15 is a coating specifically designed to help you achieve a superior R-5 insulation value on many windows without the need for triple glazing.

The IS-15 coating is applied to the interior (room-side) surface of the dual pane IG unit, resulting in improved thermal performance and lower heating costs. Because the coating reflects heat back into the room, the room-side pane of glass will be slightly colder in winter, causing a higher potential for condensation problems.

Passive Solar Low-E 80/70
Hurd’s new Passive Solar Low-E 8070 glazing has a very high (0.69) solar heat gain coefficient. That means it’s ideal for capturing the sun’s heat in colder climates and reducing your winter heating bills. It also has a superior insulation value (R-3.8) to block out the cold and keep in the heat.

Triple Pane Low-E
For the superior thermal performance of triple pane windows, specify our energy-efficient Triple Pane Low-E glazing. Choose one or two surfaces of low-E coating, for improved insulation values, reduced solar heat gain, and protection from harmful UV rays.
Triple-Pane-Low-E

Dual Pane Low-E
Insulated for improved energy efficiency. Single surface Low-E coating to reduce solar heat gain and block UV rays.

Insulated Glass
For moderate climates, our Insulated Glass may deliver the performance you’re looking for.
Insulated-Glass

Sound Control
Our Sound Control glazing reduces outside noise by as much as 50% while also blocking 99% of harmful UV rays. Since it’s laminated, it also provides important shatter resistance to reduce the risk of injury from broken glass. It’s available as a dual pane insulated IG or as a single pane non-insulated glass.

Hurd Simulated Divided Lites

Our simulated divided lites give you the classic appeal of traditional true divided lites, but without the energy loss caused by individual glass panes. Matching extruded aluminum or all-wood outside, natural wood inside, and optional spacers between the glass.

Grilles in Airspace

This is the easiest way to achieve the divided lite look. We actually seal the grille between the panes of glass. So you get the visual appeal you want without the grille ever getting in your way. Grilles in airspace come in your choice of profiles: 11/16” or 1” contour or 5/8” flat. Two-tone grilles also available.
