FAQs - Provia Doors

Provia takes security very seriously. Their doors feature a 20-gauge steel security plate in the frame to resist kick-ins, robust multi-point locking systems, and heavy-duty hardware, making them one of the most secure residential doors on the market.

Provia doors are known as "professional-class" for a reason. They use thicker, higher-quality materials—20-gauge steel for their steel doors and specially engineered fiberglass for their Signet and Embarq series—which gives them a substantial weight and solid feel that you won't find in a big-box store.

Yes. Provia doors are built for extreme energy efficiency. They feature a polyurethane foam core for high insulation value and a system of weatherstripping on the door and a seal in the frame that interlock to create a highly effective barrier against drafts.

I want the look of a real wood door but absolutely no maintenance. Is that possible?

Yes, that is the specialty of the Provia Signet® series. They use a patented process to create an incredibly realistic wood grain texture on a fiberglass door that can be stained to look just like cherry, oak, or mahogany, but it will never warp, split, or rot.

The Provia Embarq® series is the most energy-efficient entry door system in the U.S. It features a thicker 2.5-inch frame (43% thicker than standard doors) and a dual perimeter seal to provide unparalleled insulation and energy savings.

Yes. Provia offers a tremendous level of customization. Through Cal Coast, you can choose the door style, material (steel or fiberglass), glass package, stain or paint color, and hardware to build a door that is uniquely yours.

Provia offers decorative glass that is both beautiful and secure. The glass is a sealed unit set within the door, and many options include textured or privacy glass. For higher security, laminated security glass is also available.

How durable is the finish on a Provia door? I don't want to have to repaint it.

Provia uses a state-of-the-art, professionally applied paint and stain process in a controlled factory environment. The finish is baked on for incredible durability and resistance to fading and scratches, backed by a strong warranty.

To ensure a perfect seal against drafts and moisture, Provia doors feature a custom bottom sweep that is specifically designed to interlock with the threshold, creating a weather-tight seal at the bottom of the door.

Yes. You can order a Provia door with FrameSaver®, which features a composite material at the bottom of the jamb that is guaranteed never to rot, warp, or absorb moisture, protecting your investment where it's most vulnerable.

Signet is Provia's premier fiberglass series with the most realistic wood grain and detailing. Heritage fiberglass offers a more textured wood-grain at a more accessible price point, still providing excellent durability and efficiency.
