Manufacturer of Exterior Building Products Introduces Energy- Efficient Fiberglass Door

Such is the legacy of ProVia: A 35-year success story as a leading developer and manufacturer of exterior building products including exterior door systems, windows, super polymer vinyl siding and manufactured stone.

By definition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says green building – also known as sustainable or high performance building – is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s life cycle from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.

ProVia Doors Provide ‘Curb Appeal Plus’ at Nye Park Apartments

After striking out with a half-dozen or so door manufacturers who couldn’t provide an acceptable solution, McKenna posed a question to his contact at one of the manufacturers he had consulted. "Who's your best competition? Who would give you a run for your money?" he asked. It took a while, but McKenna persisted and got his answer - ProVia.
