Thanks! I'm happy to hear you're happy with the quality. Did you get mortised hardware, and are you happy with your locks, handles, etc.? On my house, the full-view door will be on a deep, shaded, north-facing porch, so direct exposure to sunlight isn't an issue on that one. For that door, I do want just a simple pane of glass to show off the historic-esque bungalow-style entry door (as soon as I choose one), and I don't need the ventilation for the room that door opens into as it has eight operable windows with screens! The back door, however, is at the southwest corner of the house with very little shade, so heat buildup is an issue. I'll be sure to talk to the ProVia guy about whether that's an issue with the back entry door when he's here measuring next week. I am planning on a white-painted fiberglass door for the back entry door, so I imagine the heat will not be a problem, but I'll ask.

+1. While the nicer stuff at the box stores is acceptable, there is nothing there on the level of the higher end offerings like Provia. Anything in particular under about $250 there I'd expect not to get more than 5-10 years at best

@Mark Bischak If I don't want the tall and narrow look for the entry door, does a 42x96 look more porporional? @todd The entry door is my only opening to move sofa into the living room in case sofa is over 36". I can't do it from back patio door as there's another opening which is limited at 36". I'm thinking I may have an issue with moving sofa if I don't have a 42" opening to the living room.

$1250 for an HMI Storm door is very good pricing. Might be a tad higher now with all the price inflation we are seeing. An HMI Entry door would obviously be much higher.
