Energy efficiency tops the priority list for 60% of door buyers — and Babson Park homeowners have every reason to make it their first consideration. Installing Energy Star certified doors can shrink heating and cooling bills by an average of up to 13% compared to non-certified products.
Key Energy Performance Features to Know:
- Polyurethane Foam Core: Every ProVia door features a computer-controlled polyurethane foam fill that seals every interior crevice. No other material matches its insulating density per inch of door thickness.
- ComfortTech™ Warm Edge Glazing System: Reduces heat conduction at the glass edge — the most thermally vulnerable point in any door with glass panels.
- Q-Lon Weatherstripping: Energy-efficient Q-Lon weatherstripping runs along the top and sides of every door frame, then interlocks with a Q-Lon corner seal for continuous draft protection.
- ProVia’s Unmatched Award Record: ProVia is the only door manufacturer to ever win Energy Star Partner of the Year — and they’ve earned that distinction 9 times. No other manufacturer in the U.S. comes close.
- What Buyers Value Most: In a FIXR survey, 60% of homeowners cited insulating efficiency (U-Value/R-Value) as the top eco-friendly door feature they want.
- Eco-Friendly Materials: 16% of buyers specifically prioritize durable, recyclable materials in their selection — ProVia’s fiberglass satisfies both criteria.
