As a family owned and operated company, Cardinal Acoustics' core values encompass an entrepreneurial spirit, a commitment to superior and sustainable quality, and exceptional service and responsiveness. Cardinal was founded in 2018 with the purpose of delivering excellent acoustical solutions to the construction industry in a variety of wood fiber wall & ceiling panel options. Cardinal's mission is to create a balance by having all trades working together more efficiently and effectively, making the total process from design, quoting, manufacturing, ordering, installing, and everything in between, a smooth and pleasurable experience for all involved. Our corporate leadership is as follows:
