Why This System

ProVia fibreglass frames (Aspect, Aeris) are significantly harder than vinyl. They are more scratch-resistant than PVC but not immune to abrasive tools. ProVia sells exclusively through certified dealers - clients who have ProVia windows are typically quality-conscious and will notice the difference between a thorough professional clean and a quick wash. Fibreglass composite frames can be painted - if they have been repainted at any point, the paint quality determines how robust the surface is to cleaning tools.
