Des Plaines homeowners will have many window options to choose from. The best windows will depend on individual needs, and our Opal consultants can help you find what works best for you.
What often happens is Des Plaines homeowners narrow it down to two options. ProVia is a great brand, and they offer different lines of windows. We have a breakdown of ProVia Endure and ProVia Ecolite to help you choose.
ProVia Ecolite Windows
ProVia Ecolite windows have several features for your Des Plaines home. They have a 3 ¼ frame depth with SunShield Vinyl options. There are welded frames and sashes with exterior glazing. The exception is picture windows which have interior glazing. For Double hung and slider windows, there is an integral interlock at the meeting rail. You also have the option of a bulb seal weatherstripping. These are standard features.

When choosing your screen, standard options include a roll-formed screen frame and BetterVue fiberglass mesh. Also available as an option are aluminum mesh and SeeVue stainless steel mesh. The Ecolite line only has a white interior and exterior color available.
ProVia Endure Windows
The ProVia Endure line has the same standard features as the Ecolite windows with some additions. You will get Neopor insulation and ENERGY thermal reinforcements with the Endure line of windows. Screen options vary between the two lines but Endure offers an extruded aluminum screen frame and BetterVue fiberglass Mesh. Additional options include the aluminum mesh, SeeVue stainless steel mesh, and heavy-duty fiberglass mesh.
The Endure line has a color option for every home, including white, beige, sandstone, and laminated wood grain for the interior. Exterior color options are sandstone, beige, white, and classic bronze laminate. These are standard color options, but you can also request a specific painted color.
Customization Options
When customizing your windows, you will first need to decide on the style of the windows. Ecolite and Endure have different options. They offer double hung, slider, hopper, operable shapes, and architectural shapes. Ecolite also offers single hung and single slider as standard options. Endure has many other window styles, with the main differences being bay & bow, casement, and awning. Endure offers single hung and single slider as additional options.
Accessories are optional for both, and it is best to discuss them with your Opal team. Endure has window accessories like stucco flange, nail fin with j-channel, and groove filler strip. Ecolite offers accessories like an internal nail fin with a j-channel and a j-channel cover strip. Both lines also share some accessory options. Glass is always optional, and there are many different styles to make your Des Plaines home beautiful.
