Entry Door Manufacturer ProVia Touts Custom for Replacement Doors

    SUGARCREEK, OH, February 23, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Most people think of custom entry doors as a solution fit for only the grandest of homes, new homes or homes where the homeowner wants to make a statement with personalized design choices.

However, certain situations and desired options might make a custom exterior door a better fit for a door replacement project, according to Ohio custom entry door manufacturer ProVia.

Custom entry doors are a better fit for older homes, in situations where one is replacing a very old, original door that was built right on the jobsite, often in a size that isn't available as a standard offering, or where the old entry door has simply worn out. Ordering a custom door, sized to the height or width needed, prevents the installer from having to do extra work to make a standard door fit or to have a standard door cut to size.

"Our dealers love that ProVia doors can be ordered in heights and widths up to 8 feet in 1/8-inch increments and that they're shipped as a complete 'ProVia Entry Door System,' because it simplifies the installation," said Wanda Angel, Door and Window Brand Manager.

Meeting Homeowners' Needs
As opposed to most entry door manufacturers that cater to the new home construction industry, ProVia specializes in the remodeling industry, providing homeowners with features and options that improve the performance and functionality of their doors and enable installers to work more efficiently. By building only doors made to order, ProVia can provide sizes, options, quality and service unavailable with any other door manufacturer.

The company offers its fiberglass and steel entry doors in a wide variety of styles, with or without glass. Its custom entry doors come in a wide selection of panel styles both interior and exterior, and a variety of glass styles and designs as well as options for hardware. ProVia also can provide custom casings and doors with lower thresholds to meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Accessories like pet doors, Craftsman-style hinge straps, speakeasies and kick plates also can be added.

"Since we build each door from scratch, we are able to mix and match different panel styles, skin types and accessories to match the homeowner's exact specification," Angel said.

Custom by ProVia Means a Professional Finish
Looking for a door in a specific stain or color? No problem. In addition to its expansive standard color palette, ProVia provides custom stain capabilities and can match any Sherwin-Williams paint color.

"Unlike most door manufacturers that ship unfinished doors, ProVia doesn't rely on the painting experience and capabilities of homeowners or installers to deliver a professional-quality appearance," Angel said. "ProVia has developed its own professional finishing process to paint and stain every door before shipping, which guarantees the highest-quality finish and comes with a warranty against flaking, blistering or peeling."

ProVia produces four styles of custom exterior doors at its factory in Sugarcreek, Ohio - Embarq, Signet and Heritage fiberglass entry doors and Legacy Steel doors.
