Popular ProVia® Endure Windows—The Energy-Efficient Favorite 

ProVia’s most popular window line is the Endure vinyl window series due to its balance of superior energy efficiency, durability, customization, and aesthetics. The Endure series delivers peak performance, minimal energy costs, and maximum comfort. 

Durable Makeup

Endure windows are made of Sunshield® vinyl—a proprietary vinyl design with superior performance compared to standard vinyl. It resists color fading and offers reliable protection from UV light. 

Classic Window Styles

ProVia’s Endure series windows come in a variety of styles such as double-hung, casement, slider, awning, and picture windows. 

Superior Energy Efficiency and Insulation Properties

ProVia inserts argon gas between windowpanes for enhanced insulation. Their multi-chambered window frames have small air compartments that reduce heat transfer (through the frame), which helps your home interior stay comfortable. ProVia offers graphite-infused rigid foam insulation, which substantially improves energy efficiency. And their Low-E coating on the glass reflects light to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer. 

Tailored Customization

You get to choose from a wide variety of interior and exterior colors including wood grain finishes. Grille designs include colonial, prairie, and custom patterns to complement your home. 

Stunning Hardware Finishes

ProVia offers multiple hardware styles and finishes that pair perfectly with your interior décor. 

Easy Maintenance 

ProVia Endure windows are low maintenance due to their vinyl construction, which is resistant to cracking, warping, and peeling. The tilt-in feature on double-hung windows makes cleaning a breeze from inside your home. It’s particularly convenient for cleaning the exterior glass on second-story windows. 

Energy-Efficient Glass Options

ProVia’s double- and triple-pane glass options comes with ComforTech Warm Edge Glazing System. This is standard and uses a non-metallic Super Spacer® to insulate the glass pane edges and reduce heat transfer, making your home more comfortable. 

Dependable Weather Resistance

ProVia windows are engineered to stand up against harsh weather conditions and extreme temperatures. Their makeup resists warping, cracking, and deterioration, so you can rest at ease they will maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for years.
