FW&D installs PROVIA ENERGY STAR DOOR in Fairlington

On a typical Northern Virginia February day, starting with temps in the 20's, snow flurries, brilliant sunshine, temps to 40, and then windy, FW&D installed a new kitchen entry door in Fairlington Villages. The typical Fairlington Villages kitchens in Arlington, Virginia, are smaller with a very limited amount of natural light. Wanting to eliminate the dreary lighting and the cold draft seeping in from the winter chill, a homeowner contacted their local experts, FW&D, to assist with the project. For his recently remodeled kitchen, we recommended a PROVIA 15 lite door with an ENERGY STAR RATED low-e glass package along with a full view storm door with the most functional pull handle. The doors were measured, ordered and upon delivery from the factory an installation date was scheduled. The pictures show the FW&D team at work installing the new doors. We like to remove all of the old, sometimes damaged or deteriorated, framework. The new door is put into place in the rough door opening and secured to the brick. A minimally expanding insulating foam fills in all of the cracks and voids around the entire door opening. The homeowner came rushing outside to tell us, “It’s warmer in here already!” The inside trim is applied as well as the outside brick mold which is unique to Fairlington. The storm door is installed and we have another completed job! Installing these energy efficient doors will save him money on heating and cooling costs improve the interior comfort and increase the value of his home. By using the PROVIA door system the homeowner is eligible for the tax credit provided by the Energy Improvement and Extension Act 2008 (H.R. 1424).
