Love seeing you carrying this window, just because you have the highest quality window content on KZread (in my opinion). Your videos were super helpful when we were making a decision. We live in KC, and we went with Provia Windows. Best I could tell, these were super high quality/energy efficient windows that are a great value for the money. The only (small) downside I concluded is that there are windows with slimmer profiles, which wasn't worth sweating over since we have larger windows without much of a view. We're super happy with them. Thank you!

ProVia makes excellent doors. I have no doubt they would do the same with any windows they're going to put their name on.

Thanks for the video on ProVia Endure. Also thanks for the recommendation of a local installer to me that carries and installs them. I have narrowed down my choice of vinyl double hung replacement windows to the ProVia Endure and the Okna Insul Tec 500 which appear to be similar in quality. However, it seems that the Okna 500 warranty is quite a bit better than the ProVia Endure. The Okna offers a buyer's lifetime plus transferable to 1 subsequent owner warranty on the glass, vinyl and hardware. Whereas the Endure offers only a buyer's lifetime warranty on glass and hardware (non transferable). So if the original buy get's "hit by a beer truck" the day after installation, then there is no longer any warranty on glass and hardware of the ProVia Endure windows. This doesn't seem to show much confidence in the Endure's window's quality versus the Okna 500. I'd like for there to be a window warranty for my spouse, children and/or any subsequent buyer. What are your thoughts on warranties and should warranty be a significant deciding factor? Thanks again for all your great advice. Doug

Thank you for watching and for your question. Obviously, the best warranty is the one you will never need. Typically, window companies have only offered a 20-year warranty on their products. But back around 20 years ago, when the market was getting pretty tight and competitive, company started creating these amazing warranties. The truth is, the average homeowner only lives in her home for 7 and 1/2 years. When company say they offer a double lifetime warranty, that's nice to have, but it's very likely that you will never use it. I would be more concerned about the quality of the installation, then the quality of the window and the warranty. A great window that is installed poorly is going to have many issues that will not be covered by the warranty of the manufacturer.

I'm in Ohio and while I'm not overly familiar with the ProVia windows, I did overhear a contractor say they are his favorite brand and very high quality.

As a vendor I sell ProVia windows along with Andersen and Pella & I’ll chime in by telling you that you cannot beat a ProVia window for the price

Hi Jeff, thanks for these wonderful videos. You mentioned about "fine line weld system to Endure. Does this weld system also applies to Aspect? To be honest the sample I saw today from my local store, both Endure and Aspect have that "typical vinyl frame visible weld line" instead nice finished joint the one you have on your video....

Thank you for watching and your question. To the best of my knowledge, all of their products offer that well system. That is something they started in the past couple of years. Perhaps the samples that are at your local dealer are dated?

Thanks for the video. What brand of glass is Provia using in the Endure windows?

Ordered a 60” ProVia slider. Great product but was very disappointed that door had a block to stop it from opening fully. So the pass thru opening was small. I called ProVia and to my surprise they sent me a 72” slider but I had to change my header. Which was a pain. I personally would never order 60” slider from them but the 72” works great.

The reason for the bumper is to keep you from smashing your fingers when holding the handle and opening the door. FYI, the bumper is removable

If it was simple as removing the block. I would done it. But for your FYI the combination of a deep side jamb to a wide lock handle and the door stop. It took a 30 inch opening down to a 25” opening.

@JB-ej2qy yikes!

Triple bulb seal protection. Ain't no air getting in that thing. I'd buy it if I lived in a stinky area.

How long would you expect these windows to last?

How would you compare this to Marvin essential

Completely different animals. One is vinyl, the other is fiberglass. Fiberglass wins in this case.

@@HoustonWindowExpertsI wish I could get the Marvin infinity but it’s not Available in my area. Is there another Marvin line that is comparable like the ultimate line or something?
