Investing in a new entry door is one of the most effective ways to elevate your home’s curb appeal, enhance energy efficiency, and boost long-term durability. At our store Friant’s in Mt. Holly, homeowners in the area are discovering how the combination of ProVia entry door craftsmanship and personalized service leads to an entryway that truly reflects their style and performance needs.

ProVia doors are synonymous with quality engineering. Built to exceed industry standards, they deliver on three key homeowner priorities: energy efficiency, security, and aesthetic versatility.

Energy efficiency is critical in New Jersey’s climate. New entry doors (such as ProVia) are crafted with advanced insulation technology—reducing air leakage, lowering utility costs, and improving overall comfort throughout the year.

Security and durability are inherent in every design. Heavy-duty frames, reinforced cores, and premium locking systems provide peace of mind that your entrance is both welcoming and secure.

Steel vs. Fiberglass: What’s the Difference?

One of the most common questions we get at Friant’s is “what’s the difference between Steel and Fiberglass”.  Both perform well, but there are distinct differences in durability, styles available, finishes, and in price. Each offers distinct advantages:

  • Steel Doors
    Steel doors are highly durable and cost-effective. They’re excellent at resisting impact and provide strong security features.  ProVia offers an industry leading 20ga steel which is superior to the competition. Steel also requires minimal maintenance. However, steel can dent and may show imperfections more easily than fiberglass, especially in high-traffic homes.
  • Fiberglass Doors
    Fiberglass doors have surged in popularity due to their exceptional weather resistance and design flexibility. Unlike steel, fiberglass won’t rust, warp, or rot—making it a superior choice for homes exposed to humidity, salt air, or temperature swings. Fiberglass can also be textured to closely resemble natural wood grain, giving homeowners the beauty of wood with the performance of modern materials. If you are looking for a true to wood look, then ProVia’s Signet Series woodgrains are an excellent choice.
