I purchased the doors through a legit provia door dealer who employs his own installation crew. Overhead at the business is low and there are no commissioned salesmen. The installers are very experienced in window and single door installs. Unfortunately, the final adjustment was made on a relatively warm day so air infiltration wasn't apparent. The installer said he couldn't see any light infiltration in the area of concern so I signed off on the paperwork as satisfied with the install. Now, with colder weather making the leak apparent, I'm using stick on weatherstripping as a temporary measure. I'll probably call them back but I'm thinking an effective fix would require removing/rehanging the door. I feel that an experienced french door installer would have seen the potential problem and taken measures to correct it. Lesson learned..proper installation every bit as important as the quality of the product..

That's a pricey door and a bit of extra work. Doesn't sound crazy... That said, best thing that you can do is get another quote or two for comparison purposes. That will eliminate any variance due to regional location and also installation specifics. IE: this could be a door installed in a 4th floor condo that requires rental of a 100' lift. I doubt that is the case, but you get the idea.

Clear Glass? Includes installation? If so, sounds about right.

HomeSealed, thank you so much for commenting. I have considered the concerns you mention, but Signet would be $16,800. A full 6k more, and I just wasn't sure the 55% extra cost would pay off. I've spent a lot of time on the ProVia site, watched the manufacturing videos, read SO many online reviews, and much of the information I got was about choosing Signet for more choices in realistic stained wood finish (I'm going with smooth painted) and more heft. So, I've just ended up trusting the quality and reputation of the ProVia brand and the experience of the local Pella install/remodel team will make the 11k Heritage a good decision. Has experience taught you differently? Will I be replacing fiberglass in ten years wishing I'd spent the extra 6? When you mentioned legacy might be best, is it because steel is somehow more stable, less likely to warp than fiberglass, in 8' or in double or both? I was wondering why they allow dual action on steel at that height and not on fiberglass, which is offered only in multi-point.
