Perhaps it's for the best though. Since Cardinal manufactures shower enclosures, the company has a firm grasp on what its customers are looking for when it comes to custom glass. AGC Glass is a conglomerate, so its product development and production were based more on profitability than an understanding of the custom shower niche. And that niche is ever-changing and dynamic, so it makes the most sense for a shower enclosure company to vertically integrate patterned glass production into its operations. Cardinal will be able to more quickly and fully respond to customer preferences and industry trends than a large and cumbersome conglomerate would.
Cardinal's first batch of in-house patterned glasses are intriguing to say the least. Capitalizing on its innovative work with cast glass, the company has released the following six patterns (shown above):
- Cardinal Affinity
- Cardinal Flurry
- Cardinal Lunar
- Cardinal Rain
- Cardinal Tranquility
- Cardinal Wisp
Not only are the patterns extremely distinctive, but the glass itself is super clear low-iron glass. Low-iron (or Starfire) glass as a trend is red hot right now because it doesn't have the faint green hue that traditional clear tempered glass has. More and more homeowners are opting for low-iron glass to shed the best light (both literally and figuratively) on custom tile and stone work. Cardinal's decision to produce their in-house patterns with low-iron glass is a stroke of genius in our opinion. And since the patterns themselves are so attractive and creative, we see big things ahead for the product line!
Happy Showering!
