2 The Wise Choice Earthwise is a selective national group of window manufacturing fabricators who produce the same high quality vinyl window system. This alliance of fabricators is called the Earthwise Group. The group was formed with the purpose of creating a national identity within the window industry and combining production, distribution and marketing strengths. Vinyl Technology The design of the window and the quality of the extrusion insures the beauty and performance of the finished product. Earthwise Windows are designed and extruded by our partner, Deceuninck Inc. recognized as the world s leading extruder of vinyl window systems. All vinyl is produced from abundantly common natural materials and is thus an extremely eco-responsible product. All of Earthwise s vinyl profiles are completely recyclable and environmentally friendly. Deceuninck Vinyl Performance Comparison Color Retention Dimensional Stability Impact Resistance 1,210% better than competition 325% better than industry standard 41% better than industry standard Color Retention measures color shift based on laboratory testing which simulates two years of extreme UV exposure. Dimensional Stability measures the change in profile shape resulting from environmental temperature changes. Impact Resistance measures resistance to general abuses during fabrication, transportation, storage, installation and everyday use.

3 High Performance Glass Cardinal Glass Technology Cardinal LoE2 Architectural Glass Products set the standard. Cardinal Glass Industries is considered one of the world s leading providers of superior quality glass products. From the melting of sand to producing clear float glass to the vacuum sputtering of silver to produce low-emissivity coatings, Cardinal manufactures the quality components and finished insulating glass products used in top-of-the line buildings around the world. At Cardinal, they try to maintain a clear vision: design and fabricate the most advanced glass products in the industry. To sustain that vision, they invest heavily in research and development. The R&D center located in Texas provides the basis for new advances in glazing fenestration. Laminated Glass Technology Cardinal laminated glass consists of annealed, heat-strengthened or tempered glass with one or more transparent inter layers sandwiched together to create a stronger, sturdier glass unit. They offer multiple interlayer options to meet various codes and security constraints. ANNEALED GLASS breaks easily, producing long, sharp splinters. TEMPERED GLASS shatters completely under higher levels of impact energy, and few pieces remain in the frame. LAMINATED GLASS may crack under pressure, but tends to remain integral, adhering to the plastic vinyl interlayer. Cardinal s LoĒ²-366 Glass-Argon Cardinal s LoĒ³-366 delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. And it provides the highest levels of year-round comfort and energy savings, making it the perfect glass no matter where you live. The secret? An unprecedented triple layer of silver. This is beyond ordinary low-e glass; LoĒ³-366 sets the new standard. Now with three layers of yearround thermal protection, the benefits are exceptional. The result: a clear coating that blocks even more solar gain than ever before, reflects heat and lets the light stream in. Notice the difference below between clear glass, regular low-e glass and new LoĒ³-366. Cardinal s LoĒ²-270 Glass-Argon Cardinal s LoĒ²-270 glass is the perfect glass for all season comfort. It reduces solar heat gain by 50% or more when compared to ordinary glass. Although it is a clear glass, LoĒ²-270 even outperforms ordinary tinted glass typically used in sunny climates. And though it s coated, LoĒ²-270 lets the light shine in to warm your house during the cooler winter months. Cardinal s LoĒ²-240 Glass-Argon Cardinal s LoĒ²-240 glass provides a great combination of aesthetic appeal along with energy savings and indoor comfort. This cool, spectrally selective coating is applied to clear glass, so that the appearance and performance are the same regardless of glass thickness. LoĒ²-240 is more than a solar control glass. Its advanced coating design also provides the lowest possible U-factor to deliver comfort and energy savings during cold winter weather. Whether you want laminated glass to meet hurricane codes, provide home security or reduce noise, Cardinal offers a laminated glass to meet your requirements, delivering a level of security and serenity that can t be realized with ordinary glass. Low-E Glass Technology Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors offer some of the most advanced warm edge technology in our window systems. We offer 3 Cardinal Low-E products that bring energy savings and comfort to your home. Showcase brochure 12pg.indd 3 Maximum UV Protection (Up To 95%)

ANNEALED GLASS breaks easily, producing long, sharp splinters. SHOWCASE Storm Protector and Sound Protector Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors At Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors, we take the weather seriously. We live on the coast and our products are manufactured in Houston. We are up against the same brutal and seasonal elements you are, and craft our products accordingly. Our vinyl frames are stronger, thicker and heavier than other vinyl producers allowing our products to be among the best in the business. We use the same sturdy vinyl extrusion for our Impact and Non-impact frames, allowing us to maintain the beauty and performance of all our windows and doors. Showcase products have been tested all along the gulf coast against some of the toughest hurricanes the United States has ever seen. Our products have passed with flying colors, withstanding the likes of Hurricane Katrina, Rita, Ike and others. Protection From Break-Ins By Vandals, Burglars and Weather: Repeated blows from bats, crowbars, hammers or bricks may cause the glass itself to crack. The PVB interlayer holds the glass together and the pane within the frame, making access to the house interior difficult. In a hurricane, the integrity of the window is not compromised. Meets ASTM F-1223 (class 1) forced entry standard. Showcase brochure 12pg.indd 10 Shielding From Ultraviolet Rays: All things tend to fade when subjected to prolonged sun exposure. The laminated insulating glass in the 143 Window Series helps protect fabric, furniture and other items in a home from degradation by blocking the majority of UV rays, while still allowing light to shine through. TEMPERED GLASS shatters completely under higher levels of impact energy, and few pieces remain in the frame. LAMINATED GLASS may crack under pressure, but tends to remain integral, adhering to the plastic vinyl interlayer. Whether you want laminated glass to meet hurricane codes, provide home security or reduce noise, Cardinal offers a laminated glass to meet your requirements, delivering a level of security and serenity that can t be realized with ordinary glass. TDI Certified and Tested Showcase Custom Vinyl Windows and Doors are always being tested and TDI certified for replacement applications.
