ProVia Windows Reviews :: Integra Series

The Integra series was the company's entry level window that was available as the VT800, VT700 or WX100 model. The VT800 and VT700 Aeris models were all vinyl, while the WX100 used a real wood interior with a vinyl exterior.

The VT700 was the entry level vinyl window and offered the following features; square sash profile, sloped sill, multi-lock system, aluminum reinforced sash, block and tackle balance, fusion welded sash & frame. This was a nice vinyl window, solid and well made. The VT800 was the upgraded model that comes with all of the same standard features, along with an expanded color selection and came in a cove sash profile. The VT800 would run around 10% to 15% more in price.

The WX100 series had the real wood interior and then a similar vinyl exterior. The interior options included cherry, oak and maple wood. The WX100 window came in a ton of interior color and stain options that provided some very unique and interesting aesthetics. The WX100 came in 5 exterior colors. I would give the ProVia Aeris Series a 3.8 out of 5 stars rating. Nonetheless, we did have some antiquated reviews on this ProVia series. I would give the ProVia Integra Series Window a 4.0 out of 5 stars rating. Scroll down to read all of our ProVia windows reviews on the Integra series.

Integra Series vs Soft-Lite

I'm deciding between the Softlite Imperial LS and the Provia Integra 300. The Soft-lite feels like a sturdier window and fits the frame a bit better. The Soft-Lite bid is $650 over the ProVia and I'm trying to decide whether that's worth it. The Integra uses a double sill compartment, which is supposed to lower how much air gets in.

I like ProVias doors. I consider their windows a bit less reliable. Soft-Lite makes great windows and the Imperial LS is one of the best. Are they better than the Integra, yes. It's a small price to pay to get a truly excellent window. The Integra is a decent window but the Imperial LS is definitely the way to go in my opinion.

Are Provia Windows Any Good?

I saw your moderated Q&A on your website and it said that you had a list of recommended Colorado windows (and potentially installers?) but needed to email you. We live halfway between Denver and CO springs. We have 44 windows to replace in $3m home (20 year old windows, mfg out of business, leaking do to cracked and/or missing seals and some warping).

Quote/recommendation from K&H home solutions is to use ProVia @ about $2k including install. 1/3 are fixed - approx. 5x6 ft, and many of the others are "crank open" below those large windows of 1x2 ft.

Very much appreciate any reactions, thoughts, etc.

ProVia Windows vs Pella

Thank you for your help, Dane! I have quotes for ‘replacements’ from Pella and Andersen. The ProVia quote was for full tear-out and new windows, not replacements. All were very pricey, as you might imagine. Pella did not offer the style my home requires—has now—in their vinyl window. I need a ‘cottage style’, which has six panes in the upper sash and nine on the lower. My Andersen quote was for their replacement composite offering.

As I mentioned, I have a lot of openings, mostly double hung, but also a number of casement applications, transoms and a large specialty window over the front door:

42 double hung of various sizes, 12 have transoms
10 casements, 6 have transoms
The large Palladian window above the front door
(I have a sun room which is really pretty, but includes 12 of those 42 windows, all of which have transoms!)

Andersen came in around $120,000, including any discounts, and not including entry doors

Pella (no longer an option), quoted about the same, maybe a little less, for their vinyl product, without doors

ProVia came in at not quite $100,000, which includes a span of deck doors and three entry doors. I’m also considering one of their front door offerings, however that item is not included in their bid.

At this point, I am liking the ProVia option because I like the idea / look of a full tear-out with new windows, they’ve been around a while, they’re located in Sugar Creek, Ohio, which is in my ‘backyard’, and the local dealer, Middlefield Windows, is well-regarded.

Of course other huge considerations are how long I plan to own the home, and the ratio of the cost of the new windows to the value of the home. I am retired, but have no plans to sell the home anytime soon—God willing. I am also blessed to be able to cover the expense of the windows and doors without having to finance the project.

I’ve read a lot of your discussions with other customers—so helpful for such a confusing, large and expensive decision. Considerations for comparison beyond cost are quality, performance, the expertise of the installer, the energy efficiency of the windows and warranty.

I assume that the windows that you consider top tier are pretty similar in the categories I’ve listed above. Having said that, in your mind, what is the difference between a ‘very good’ window such a s ProVia, and an option you would consider to be ‘excellent’?

What sets the ‘excellent’ apart and would their extra cost, if any, be worth the extra investment?

Thank you again for all your ProVia Windows Reviews, Dane, and of course I will continue to follow up with the other manufacturers you have suggested.

Beth, I do think the ProVia is the best option so far from a price and quality perspective. But you are correct, not cheap. I would still try to get two to three more bids myself for such a big project. You might be able to save $20K, although who knows. As to what makes a window good or bad...[response pulled for duplicate content].

Replacement Windows In Indianapolis

Hi Dane, thanks for your quick response! I'll look around for other options in my area but I'm in a smaller market (Bloomington IN) so we don't have tons of local options. Do you think we should expect to see quotes for windows in the "good quality vinyl windows that won't break the bank" category come in at a similar range to the quotes we received for the Pella and Reliabilt windows? We're looking to have the windows professionally installed. Thanks again for your help!

Derek - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

I think perhaps ProVia, Sunrise, Vytex, and Great Lakes are possibilities near Indianapolis. That's where I would start. Very possible that these mid range offerings will be in that same price range as the Pella 250. Often it's overpriced because of the brand recognition. (Pella does make fantastic wood clad windows, but again pricey.)

However, it's basically silly season on pricing right now with the demand, so it's tough to predict what you're going to get. This is why getting a handful of bids is so important -- it's tricky to know who is trying to see if you will bite and who is making a legitimate project bid.

How Do These Windows Compare?

Hello, I recently purchased your Provia. The Basic window not the one with the bells and whistles I was told.

Why is there no security tab on them to prevent someone from the outside opening an open window and gaining entrance to your home? I made a mistake and assumed that the safety tab (not sure what it is called) was standard on any window. It was on the last 2 homes I was in. This small little stop tab should be standard on every window. I should not have to purchase the next step to have security in my home. Thanks.

Tracy - Homeowner - from 2020

Tracy, unfortunately we are not ProVia windows. I would suggest contacting the company that installed the job and ask them your question. Hopefully, they can provide you with an economical upgrade to make sure your windows provide security into your home.

ProVia vs Vinyl Kraft

Dane, Thanks for your recent help on my project for 22 windows. Dealer I am working with loves the Vinyl Kraft Legacy series double hung. says he never has had a seal failure with their spacer ( foam) and has had issues with Simonton service.

We like the narrower look vs the more stocky platinum by Simonton and would like your thoughts. Pro via was in the mix ... This stuff is confusing.....foggy bottom stuff. Any help is appreciated

Jim - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Mary, I have heard that Vinyl Kraft makes a decent vinyl window and I love the fact that you are working with someone who has worked with the brand before and knows how to install them and deal with any issues that should occur

ProVia is a good brand that I can vouch for. Vinyl Kraft I cannot. However, if you are working with someone who thinks they are proven and reliable over the long term (and they have a good reputation themselves), and you are getting a competitive price, then I don't see why you should go with them.

I would love to get the air infiltration and U-factor numbers on the Vinyl Kraft window you buy from them, if you do go with them. It would help me determine whether I should suggest them to others. As a point of reference, .10 or lower is considered good, .15 or higher is considered poor. AI is an important indicator of who air tight the window.

ProVia Windows Reviews

We are having builder grade windows replaced in our bay window. I am getting a variety of estimates and getting recommendations to use Provia AP 500 windows, or Viwinco Cambridge windows. We also have Thompson Creek (TC) windows available in our area.I am inclined to go with TC because of how pleased I am with two other windows we have from them, but am willing to consider the other two. Your thoughts?

EW - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

EW, I don't know much about Thompson Creek windows to be honest, I've heard that the company is very aggressive in their marketing approach, but this doesn't have anything to do with their windows themselves. I took a look on the nfrc.org website, which lists performance numbers on thousands on windows and found their TC 900 Double Hung model got decent numbers - U-factor of .32 and .28 with different low-e options, .19 with the triple pane option.

I'm not sure which ProVia model you are referring to, but I like ProVia windows in general and would certainly give them the nod (knowing very little about your project) over the TC. Viwinco windows tend to be a lower end vinyl window than the ProVia brand so I would put these a bit lower in the overall scheme of things.

I would still get bids from each company and see how everything compares in terms of your take on window quality, looks, and the price bids. Get all your bids together and then you can do a nice compare and contrast on the companies.

Provia Windows vs Andersen

I'm thinking of replacing my casements and awnings. I have 14 windows to swap out and I've been considering Andersen and ProVia. How do these compare?

Sarah - Homeowner - from 2011

[Contractor Response]

Both Andersen and ProVia offer nice windows. The Andersen will cost more because they are a bigger name. The ProViaEndure is good window, as is their ecoLite. I think I'd be inclined to look at ProVia over the Anderson.
