Woodgrain-textured or smooth steel varieties, and with one or two sidelites and French (double) doors, which have also been tested and approved for coastal use in Florida. Using laminated glass increases security and decreases sound transmission, said the Sugarcreek. Ohio-based company.
ProVia doors have an exclusive heavy-duty extruded threshold that will not warp or rot; weather-stripping along the top and sides of the door that interlocks with the corner seal to keep moisture, air and dirt out of the home; and a polyurethane core to help reduce energy loss.
The new type also incorporate a 20-gauge security plate for extra strength "to help prevent kick-ins," the company said.
