ProVia Entry Doors Review

As one of the first things people see when looking at your home, entry doors have a huge impact on your home’s curb appeal. But they also play a big role in your home’s security and take a lot of wear and tear with the constant opening and closing. When it comes to replacing exterior entry doors, you’ll want to consider its usage, why it needs replacing, and your overall objective for the project. For example, are you experiencing wood rot on your door or frame? Due to the climate here in Nashville, inferior materials won’t last. Entry doors are not all created equal, and many will inevitably fail and need replacing again just a few years down the road. Investing in a high quality entry door that is manufactured by a reputable company using the best materials and backed by a great warranty is a worthwhile decision to assure you maximize your value. 

 

Zonda, one of the leading publishers of home renovation data, published an article in April 2024 illustrating the growing popularity and return on investment (ROI) of entry doors this year. Considered a top 5 investment you can make to your property, steel entry doors average an ROI of 188% while fiberglass entry doors average an ROI of 144%. Not bad for a home improvement project that can drastically enhance your home’s aesthetic and improve security.

Let’s take a look at some of the robust options available for your new entryway.

 

Material

 

The entry doors offered by ProVia come in steel or fiberglass. For the steel series, homeowners can choose between a 24-Gauge and a 20-Gauge option (the lower the gauge the more steel and the stronger the door). As for the fiberglass doors, there are four different series to choose from with each serving to a particular budget and feature set. While steel doors are typically more cost-effective, fiberglass doors are a fantastic solution for front doors where the homeowner desires a woodgrain look but without the wood door maintenance. 

 

 

Style

 

There are many ways to improve the appeal of your door and one of the best ways to do so is to choose a style that offers the optimal amount of glass and preferred panel design on the slab and/or sidelites for your dream entryway. With options ranging from no glass, to quarter-lite, half-lite, third-lite, and full-lite, choosing the right style on your doorway can drastically enhance the curb appeal of your property.

ProVia offers a custom color option should homeowners be looking for a very specific finish. They can also come primed only for the DIY’ers out there looking to perhaps save some more money and finish it themselves.

 

 

 

Glass

Whether it be a back patio door or a new front entryway, you have a range of custom glass solutions across clear, privacy, decorative, and even internal blinds!

Lastly, grids are offered in both flat and contoured between the glass design, external grids, as well as an exterior applied simulated divided lite (SDL) application for enhanced curb appeal.
