Custom Doors Blow Away Off The Rack Exterior Doors

Custom Doors Blow Away Off The Rack Exterior Doors

Most people think of custom entry doors as an option for only the most expensive homes or for homeowners with a unique artistic style. But they are a great renovation for any home, especially older houses with original doors.

So if you’ve reached your breaking point staring at that rundown and outdated front entry door, before you abandon all hope and pick up a newer version of the same eyesore at a big box store, take a deep breath and rethink your instinct. 

Over time, an off-the-rack door will end up looking like your old one does now. More than likely the paint or finish has worn and there are structural issues like warping, rot, dents and cracks. 

That’s why we encourage you to consider replacing your old door with a custom exterior door because, well, they look and work better. A lot better. And they keep their looks for years. 

Enhanced Security and Safety 

Newer exterior doors are designed with improved security features like stronger materials, better locks, and tamper-resistant hardware.  Features that help keep your home and family safer. 

Greater Energy Efficiency 

Old, drafty doors can allow significant heat loss, driving up your energy bills. Replacing them with energy-efficient models made of materials like fiberglass or steel, and with expert insulation, can improve your home’s thermal performance and reduce your utility bills.

ProVia’s custom doors are designed with features like insulating foam, weather stripping, and composite bottom end caps to provide excellent energy efficiency. The Embarq fiberglass door is ENERGY STAR certified as the most energy-efficient door system currently available in the U.S. 

We’ve been installing ProVia doors for decades because they are built with high-quality materials and construction, such as 20-gauge steel for their Legacy steel doors which is stronger and more rigid than standard steel doors. 

The Maintenance Free Option

ProVia’s fiberglass doors like the Embarq and Signet series also feature sturdier, more energy-efficient designs compared to older fiberglass door models as they are constructed with thicker fiberglass skins which also makes them more resistant to dents, cracks, and other damage.

The fiberglass construction is impervious to rot, warping, and moisture absorption, providing long-lasting durability and weather resistance.

Best of Both Worlds

If you prefer the warmth of wood to the stark industrial efficiency of fiberglass, you’re in luck. ProVia’s fiberglass doors, such as their Embarq and Signet series, offer a variety of realistic wood grain textures and smooth finishes that mimic the look of traditional wood doors, while providing the low-maintenance benefits of fiberglass. 

The embossed wood grain texture is an incredibly accurate representation of real wood, making it difficult to distinguish the fiberglass doors from authentic wood. 

But don’t let its devilishly good looks fool you. It’s not just a pretty face. ProVia’s fiberglass doors offer superior durability, weather resistance, and energy efficiency compared to traditional wood doors.

Make It Your Own

Now you’re ready to have a blast choosing from a variety of stain, glaze, and paint color options to customize the appearance of the fiberglass doors to your desired aesthetic.

All Provia exterior doors feature dovetailed and glued construction for structural integrity, as well as high-insulating cores for improved thermal performance. 

Proper Fit and Seal 

Over time, door frames can shift, leading to gaps and drafts. A full door replacement ensures a tight, custom fit that seals out air and water infiltration.

ProVia’s custom front doors are built to the exact measurements of your door opening, ensuring a better fit and more secure, energy-efficient installation compared to doors that are cut down to size. 

They also offer additional features like wider interior casing to cover the original door frame and custom casing styles to match your home’s existing trim.

Trade Secrets Revealed

ProVia specializes in custom-ordered doors for the remodeling industry, allowing them to provide a wide range of sizes, options, and customizations that are unavailable elsewhere. This allows homeowners to get a door that perfectly fits their home’s exact measurements.

While custom doors may cost more upfront, they provide significant long-term benefits in terms of security, energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetic appeal. 

For homeowners looking to upgrade their entryway with a door that is tailored to their specific needs, a custom front door from ProVia is an excellent choice.
